Noise Wall Funded for Peace | Charleston News

North Charleston residents are one step closer to quiet after city and county officials agree to spend $17 million on a noise wall near the Palmetto Commerce Interchange, funded by a November voter referendum. Longtime resident Russell Colletti, who’s lived there since 1994, recalls when trees once blocked highway noise — now, with expanded roads and relentless traffic, the constant rumble has turned his home into a stress-filled space. Despite DIY soundproofing efforts, he and his wife haven’t found relief. A recent study named North Charleston South Carolina’s noisiest large city, prompting officials to prioritize quality-of-life over other projects. If voters approve the transportation tax, the wall could finally bring peace — a long-awaited victory for advocates who’ve fought for years.

Fielding Home’s Historic Rebirth | Charleston News

Charleston Day School just bought a 1700s funeral home for $10M—yes, really—and plans to turn it into offices and event space for students, with renovations wrapping in 2027. The stripped-down interior reveals original brick and timber, echoing its past—including scars from the 1886 earthquake. Bernard Fielding Jr., from the family who ran the funeral home for generations, says it’s like the building is finally telling its story. But restoring historic buildings? Tough. Skilled tradespeople who know old methods are hard to find. To honor its roots, the school’s launching an oral history project tied to its African American legacy, weaving the Fielding family’s history—like their trailblazing roles in law and politics—into the curriculum. This isn’t just renovation; it’s preservation with purpose. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Nurdles in Rivers Spark Legal Action | Charleston News

Tens of trillions of toxic plastic pellets—nurdles—are flooding South Carolina’s rivers, with volunteers uncovering millions near protected areas. These pellets absorb harmful chemicals, entering fish and ultimately our food supply. Environmental groups are now suing companies blamed for massive spills, including a Gaston plant where thousands of pellets have been found downstream despite claims of compliance. Similar lawsuits are brewing in Charleston, where over 25,000 nurdles have been collected since 2021. With self-regulation failing, these legal actions aim to hold polluters accountable and safeguard public health from this invisible plastic crisis.
