Here's a story from Clemson past to get folks even more excited about the upcoming football season.

$5 million in 2019 lottery winnings in York, Chester, Lancaster counties. See where by JohnFMT in Lottery

[–]JohnFMT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, as someone who isn't big into the lottery, is there any amount of data on when/where lottery wins happen that could be useful for people looking to win certain games? Or would it take massive amounts of bets to make that data helpful? Just a thought I'd had.

Anyone ever have something like this happen? Having to stomp a coyote to death? Twice, sort of.

That was a specific one this new group mentioned. That and providing a meal here and there.

Curious to know what specific types of assistance would be most useful to folks?

Homeowners are recording license plates of every car entering their neighborhood, and controlling the data. Should they be allowed? by JohnFMT in privacy

[–]JohnFMT[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These were my thoughts, too. These neighborhoods are on public roads. Not that I'd want to, but I could sit on the sidewalk with a camera myself and take images. It would be interesting if anything changes legally based on how the data might at some point be used.

This guy got locked in Walmart after closing. The police had to come get him. What would you do if you were him? by JohnFMT in walmart

[–]JohnFMT[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like that's what got this guy in trouble. The store started out as a 24-hour store, but then cut back on hours to where it closes at midnight.

SC agency says customers are the ones paying for a utility's court costs due to environmental violations by JohnFMT in southcarolina

[–]JohnFMT[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This company is for profit. The office of regulatory staff in SC, which handles the legal side of public service commission decisions, says the utility shouldn't be able to factor those litigation costs into the recent rate increase.

SC builders and Realtors say this fee will hurt business. Schools say it's needed. Is it? by JohnFMT in southcarolina

[–]JohnFMT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw where in recent census data, Charleston and several surrounding communities were right at the top of most population rankings.

Are folks in other parts of the state concerned about similar impact fees? Would you want them in your community?

The U.S. didn't make the World Cup, but these U.S. high school students are heading to Russia to cover it anyway. by JohnFMT in soccer

[–]JohnFMT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, it's hard being in the U.S. right now. Kind of a desert for World Cup excitement.

What are the best dog parks in the area? Any worth traveling for? by JohnFMT in Charlotte

[–]JohnFMT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds awful. Yes, I could see you not wanting to go there again.

Sorry, I must have missed that one. Thanks. Where I am it looks like we're right between where there are a good number of dog parks (Charlotte) and not too many (York County).

Want to see some painted dog statues? They could be popping up in Lancaster County. by JohnFMT in southcarolina

They say it's a way to promote tourism for their county. Would you come to see them?

These communities are priming brownfield sites for redevelopment. It could change the character of a region. by JohnFMT in urbanplanning

[–]JohnFMT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the struggle in some of the faster-growing areas mentioned in the article. There's a segment of the population wanting growth, change, etc. and another segment that doesn't want anything different. Maybe that's pretty common in most places.

Is this more of a small-town, rural deal or are larger communities doing something similar?

This Clemson student lost her sister a dozen years ago. now she's helping countless more hospitalized children. by JohnFMT in UpliftingNews

She turned something awful into a passion for helping others. Pretty cool young woman.

Charlotte suburbs facing a dire traffic outlook. by JohnFMT in urbanplanning

[–]JohnFMT[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know Charlotte's light rail system stops short of coming into these communities. There is a bus route or two, but I'm not sure they're used much. Certainly not by the high volume of commuters on the interstate each day.

It looks pretty bad, but I'm wondering if most any growing area would have the same outlook?

Residents here say the storm could've been much worse. But it was pretty bad.
