f you are an adult reader who loves romance, sci-fi, Black history, and powerful fiction, the…read moreDorchester County Library on Ashley River Rd is a hidden gem you NEED to visit! The selection is impressive -- from swoon-worthy romance novels to mind-bending sci-fi , plus a strong and growing collection highlighting Black authors, Black history, and culturally rich storytelling . I've found everything from classic historical works to contemporary fiction that keeps you up way past bedtime. The space itself is clean, peaceful, and perfect for getting lost in a book. The staff? Amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful when you're looking for your next great read. They don't just point -- they recommend. And they get it when you say, "I want something with depth, passion, and a little plot twist." Between the atmosphere, the curated selections, and the welcoming energy, this location makes reading feel like an experience, not just a hobby.

We frequently visit this library. They have a good selection of books and DVDs. If you don't find…read morewhat you want you can go to SCLends.org and have books/DVDs sent from other county libraries to this branch for pick up. Be warned, it can take a week or two for them to arrive. This is how we usually have to get the specific books that my child wants. Overall decent little local library. You should definitely check it out! We really like that the kids room has some toys and is closed off from the adults area so the smaller kids don't have to be so quiet while you search for your next book. I believe you can also print, copy, fax and use a computer here also.

This is one of those places that you would probably miss, but I am thankful that I didn't. What a beautiful tribute to these distinguished young men of courage and valor known as the Tuskeegee Airmen. Situated off the beaten path in a small South Carolina town called Walterboro (across from the regional Lowcountry airport). The memorial park is such a lovely, tranquil place. I could envision sitting out there with a good book or taking a moment for reflection. It's not a large memorial area, which to me, was perfect. Its purpose is well accomplished, as it is full of history. Red Tails was already a favorite movie of mine. Thanks to Disney+, I was able to watch it again and appreciate these mighty men all the more. If by chance you happen to be in or pass through Walterboro, SC please make a point to stop, honor, and educate yourself about these fearless men who truly deserve their flowers.

The Tuskegee Airman memorial is a beautiful tribute located next to a small airstrip. It has…read moreinformational plaques so you can read all about these brave African American aviators. They have picnic tables to have lunch on and if you need to use the restroom the airport is right there. I love finding little gems like this and catch up on history that black people helped create. Even though it's only a small snippet of what these men achieved it gave me a sense of pride to be there.

Although it appears empty, Cope is NOT a ghost town. The 2018 population count was only 73 folks,…read morebut they would feel pretty darn bad if they were considered its ghostly residents. After reading that its old, mostly empty buildings make this a charming town to photograph, we made the trek off I-95 and made a slow drive through. Give yourself more time than we did to truly feel its charm, its history, its very-small-town pride, and tell your friends to make the trip also and maybe stop in to the Depot, or just say howdy, if you do see anyone (we did). The "Bank of Cope" has pictures of folks from years ago painted on its exterior walls, showing the laid back version of this town, "back in the day"; there is a building owned by and called Vallentines (plus a couple of others that the family owns) which is very well maintained, the railroad depot looks now like it did when Cope had way more than its present population. Bring your camera, bring your friendliness, appreciate the countryside as you pass through it, as well as the grit of the few folks left here in Cope, and, whatever you do, make sure your car has a full tank of gas because you'll be hard-pressed to find a working gas station for miles and miles (again, as we did). The pictures we took (some of which are edited for effect) were of as many buildings as we had the time to access, and it was a special experience to see this tiny, not-deserted, non-ghost town.

When we first bought our house, we discovered that waste/recycling were not included in our taxes…read more So, we set out on the journey to find a waste/recycling company that truly did recycling. We found one, only to be told 4 months later that they would no longer be doing recycling. We paid this company more so that we could have recycling and decided that we didn't need to pay them more if they wouldn't provide a service that we desperately believe in. So, we set out on a new quest to find a company who could help. Guess what. One doesn't exist that services our subdivision. So, we started doing a little research and soon discovered that we could drop our waste/recycling off at one of the Dorchester County Solid Waste's convenience locations. We're sold. We typically take a bag of trash every two weeks, and we take all of our recycling. This place accepts aluminum/metal, cardboard, paper, plastic, glass, tires, carpet, styrofoam, household bagged trash, and large items. Let's face it; it's a dump. but, for a dump, it's actually pretty cool. I will say that those who work there never offer to help, but I'm not sure that it's the job to do so. They are responsible for keeping the area clean and traffic flowing, and they do a good job of it. If you're over having someone pick up your trash but not having recycling service, you might consider dumping your trash collector and visiting the dump.
