Today's riddle: What is the 1 way to guarantee winning a small fortune at the casino? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Dorchester first responders to hold ceremony commemorating 25 years since 9/11 (abcnews4.com) — Dorchester County first responders will host a 25th anniversary 9/11 remembrance ceremony at Ashley River Park in Summerville on the morning of September 11, and the public is invited. Local law enforcement, fire, and EMS personnel will attend, with a former NYPD officer sharing firsthand memories from that day. It's a chance for residents to honor nearly 3,000 lives lost.
2. Secretive Texas housing agency builds an apartment empire 1,500 miles away (houstonchronicle.com) — A Texas public housing nonprofit has quietly bought the Latitude at Wescott apartments in Summerville as part of a fast-growing, multi-state affordable housing portfolio. The deals can convert market-rate complexes into tax-exempt properties, raising concerns about transparency, local control, and potential tax revenue losses. Officials in the Carolinas are questioning how these outside decisions will affect residents and budgets.
3. Yankees Announce Decision on 6-Foot-4 Pitcher Before Angels Series (heavy.com) — A Yankees pitching prospect who grew up in Summerville and played at Pinewood Prep just earned a quick promotion to High-A after an injury opened a spot in the Hudson Valley Renegades rotation. Danny Flatt, a late-blooming right-hander drafted in 2023, tossed three shutout innings in his debut as he continues battling back from multiple injury setbacks.
4. 140 years after historic South Carolina earthquake, officials urge preparedness (counton2.com) — State emergency officials are using the 140th anniversary of the 1886 Charleston earthquake, whose epicenter was near Summerville, to remind residents that South Carolina remains seismically active. They stress that earthquakes strike without warning and urge people to review a statewide earthquake guide. Even while watching hurricane season, locals are encouraged to prepare for year-round quake risks.
