In Praise of Corner Stores: Let Burbage’s Bloom!

The ghosts of mom-and-pop shops past haunt the peninsula’s neighborhoods. The sad storefront at Tradd and Council, Burbage’s last home before it moved to Broad in 1961, sits empty and decaying. Burbage’s home before that, at Tradd and King, is just as sad and empty.

“Save our million dollar views!”

“Save Sullivan’s Island,” their yard signs shout. “Beaches Not Forests!” Translation: “Save Our Million-Dollar Views!”

Stop it. If you are unhappy, there is no shortage of rich people who would be delighted to pay a fortune to live next to the forest.
