I don't know who this will reach, but I just wanted to put this out here in case anyone else was feeling the same. My husband and I wanted to get a nice Christmas tree from somewhere close: Mistletoe Tree Lot. The first thing we see is a large trump flag walking up to the lot. Isn't Christmas supposed to be about togetherness? Not spreading hate? I don't wanna give my money to a business that supports Trump, no matter who it is. Trump does not represent anything close to togetherness. I'm not gonna get to why I'm avoiding businesses that support or majorly donated to Trump here. I understand that it's almost inevitable around these parts, but still. I'm disappointed. Having flags like that out in the open represents exclusion and hate, especially in recent times.

Delete if not allowed, but this is absolutely disappointing and especially disrespectful to those who aren't for Trump and for hate.

Edit/update: Thank you to the people who are in agreement with this post or giving non-biased critiques. Even though some of us have different opinions on politics, some of you still agree that having these flags up drives business away. I've always had that mindset. With our current political climate, I don't think having political flags up where you have your business is a wise decision. Even if your business is at your house, why deter customers away if you want your business to suceed? I would much rather be in a store that has no political bias or no flags out in the open. We don't always have to agree on things, but places such as a Christmas tree lot should be all inclusive. Having a Trump flag out in the open does not represent inclusiveness.

To those of you leaving very negative comments, I wanted to point out some things. Just because I am expressing disappointment, it does not mean I am expressing hate. Hate and disappointment and two very different feelings. I am allowed to express disappointment online, much like how some of you are allowed to express your opinions on Trump. Also, that was my first time even walking up to the lot, so no, I didn't know there were flags up to begin with. I am allowed to warn people who don't wanna put their wallet towards a company that supports Trump, much like how you guys are free to not support a liberal or left leaning business. It goes both ways. And I'm not saying that to be mean; it's the truth. There are people in this sub who don't wanna stop by at a business that supports Trump. That's their right. I'm not throwing a fit, and in fact, me making this post is a "grown up" thing to do because someone might have been too afraid to make this post in fear of being harassed. Standing up for what's right and standing up when people do not have a voice is better than just standing by and doing nothing.

Are there any low cost vets anywhere in the area? Me and my mom are flat broke and need to get our dog checked out as soon as possible but can barely afford to do anything

I was stationed in Charleston in the Navy from 1990 to 1993. A couple of times a year, I would drive my family to Florida to visit the wife's family. We would stop at a pizza restaurant that catered to kids. The pizza was delivered to your table by a mechanical puppet on a tricycle that rode on a track.

I have a roof exit rather than a ground and I'm not feeling comfortable playing on the roof! Can anyone recommend a reliable company? I've left many messages around the area but have only received a couple call backs so far.

Hi everyone, I grew up in the area and there is a specific sign I remember from my childhood and I’m trying to figure out what it was. My grandparents used to live off Hwy 78/ E 5th N St and I would see it while on the way to their house. It was located around the area where Flowertown Center/Family Restaurant is (formerly Alex’s Restaurant). Maybe between there and the former gas station that used to be on the corner of 78 and Main (I remember in the early 90s it was a Gulf station that had a rotating sign).

It was a very tall sign, like the kind you would see at businesses off the interstate. The sign itself was white and square shaped. I’m pretty sure it was for a restaurant. For some reason, my memory is telling me the sign said something like “A & D’s” or some other set of initials. I asked my mom, who lived in the area her whole life, and she said she thought it might have been from a restaurant called Fox and Hounds and I’m not ruling it out, but I don’t think that’s it.

I was born in the late 1980s and remember the sign being there probably until at least 2000. I checked the earliest Google Street View for the area which was January 2008 and the sign isn’t visible.

I don’t know why this popped into mind but I figured someone here might know what business it was. Thanks for the help!

With Election Day upon us, it’s time to take a closer look at who’s running to represent our schools and our state. Angelina Davenport, running for the School Board, and Tom Fernandez, a Senate candidate, may claim to stand for “family values,” but their public statements tell a different story—one that pushes a divisive and exclusionary agenda.

Their own words and posts reveal:

•	Davenport’s Anti-Inclusion Stance: Labeling efforts at inclusivity in our schools as “indoctrination” and backing policies that isolate and divide.
•	Fernandez’s Extremist Rhetoric: Promoting divisive slogans and targeting marginalized communities, while fostering a culture of exclusion.

Do we want leaders like this representing us? Leaders who prioritize ideology over the well-being and unity of our community? Our schools and state deserve better.

Reject division. Choose leaders who believe in inclusivity, progress, and a future where all students and residents feel valued. Say NO to radical agendas—vote for real community values.

Angelina Davenport’s campaign is full of political endorsements for a non-partisan school board seat. She pushes divisive agendas, favors exclusion over inclusion, and aligns with groups that prioritize political ideologies over students’ education. Do we want our schools to become battlegrounds for extreme policies, or should we prioritize a future that puts students first? Vote for leadership that unites, not divides. Choose education over politics.

Has anyone in the area found a place that can assess adults for Autism Spectrum Disorder? My research has only brought me places that assess children and my insurance provider only shows me ABA therapy, also for children. Not looking for directly in Summerville, but willing to travel to surrounding areas as well. TIA !

Anyone know the more cheap leaning sushi rolls and where to find them?

Is there a good bakery in/near Summerville that delivers? Want to send my boyfriend something for his birthday

Hi!

I’m moving to Summerville next month and have a choice between Home Telecom, Xfinity and AT&T.

The apartment complex said they have a rep for home telecom but Xfinity I think had better pricing for internet

I was thinking to do internet only and get YouTube TV or similar, but am open to getting a cable package as well. I mainly use the TV for watching sports

Any inputs are appreciated

Hello. My uncle recently moved to Summerville. He called me an hour ago and said he started having double visions with headaches. I live in NY so I have no idea about hospitals in SC. Can someone tell me which is the best hospital in Berkeley County?
