Best of Charleston
Staff Pick
If Charleston's history has taught us anything, it is that we should never mess around with earthquakes or Abraham Lincoln. While ol' Honest Abe is no longer a threat, the possibility of an 1886-style shake-up is still with us. So when the Charleston County School District determined in 2010 that some of its school buildings would be unsafe in the event of a quake, officials got to work on a plan to temporarily relocate students in those schools while they are brought up to construction code. This year, all five of the at-risk schools — Memminger Elementary, Buist Academy, Charleston Progressive Academy, James Simons Elementary, and Sullivan's Island Elementary — are scheduled for an overhaul. So if you live near Buist and are annoyed at the all-day clanging of metal piles being driven into the ground, remember: It might be annoying, but it's going to keep children safe.
