📰 News we're reading

• Connecting the Strip: SCDOT Solicits Public Feedback on Proposed Swamp Rabbit Trail Expansion in Simpsonville (whosonthemove.com) — Simpsonville residents now have a chance to shape a key Swamp Rabbit Trail extension along Bryson Drive and Bryson Heights Drive, with public comments open through October 31. The proposed shared-use path would give neighborhoods safer, off-street access to parks, schools, and nearby shopping while improving bike and pedestrian safety. You can review detailed maps online and send feedback directly to SCDOT planners.
   

• History on the Strip: Weather, Memory, and Resilience Along the Golden Strip (whosonthemove.com) — Simpsonville and its Golden Strip neighbors are remembered here through the big storms that have shaped daily life, from the 1988 blizzard to Hurricane Helene and this year's Tropical Storm Isaias. The story highlights how local hills, rivers, and low crossings influence flooding, and how neighbors consistently step up with chainsaws, generators, and shared supplies when severe weather hits.
