Today's riddle: What did the tree say when Spring arrived? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Mount Pleasant looks to extend multi-use path toward Isle of Palms (live5news.com) — Mount Pleasant is considering a new 10-foot-wide trail extension linking Sweetgrass Parkway to Rifle Range Road, and residents are invited to weigh in. A public meeting is set for Thursday evening at the Mount Pleasant Waterworks building, where neighbors can review plans, ask questions, and share feedback before the town moves toward bidding the project in early 2027.
2. Winning design unveiled for 50th Cooper River Bridge Run (counton2.com) — Mount Pleasant hosted the unveiling of the 50th Cooper River Bridge Run design at Alhambra Hall, showcasing artwork that highlights all three historic Cooper River bridges. With the 50th race set for April 3, 2027, registration is already open and organizers are urging runners and walkers to sign up before entry fees rise on September 1.
3. Blotter: New tactics (charlestoncitypaper.com) — Recent police reports include a Mount Pleasant man receiving a bomb threat phone call he believed was a scam, and another driver stopped in town who had multiple violations but only received warnings after his car was towed. The blotter also highlights lighthearted reporting errors and open-container issues in nearby Charleston and North Charleston, offering a quirky snapshot of recent Lowcountry policing.
4. Oscar Mayer Wienermobile rolls into the Lowcountry for 90th birthday tour (counton2.com) — The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is cruising around the Charleston area this week, even prompting a playful Facebook post from Mount Pleasant Police after it rolled through Ferry Wharf. Locals can catch it at several free stops in North Charleston and downtown Charleston through Saturday, where families can peek inside, meet the drivers, and maybe snag a Wiener Whistle.
5. Google and College of Charleston Partner to Invest in Student Success (charleston.edu) — A College of Charleston computer science major who moved to Mount Pleasant from Qatar joined three classmates in a six-week Google data center immersion program, including work at the Moncks Corner facility. The students received hands-on training, mentorship, and a capstone project that clarified their career goals while strengthening the region's tech workforce pipeline. Local readers may see future job and internship opportunities grow from this partnership.
