Circle Area Scenes II
|
|
Now is the Time
to Seek Him Together: From the Old Village area to the Iron Dog District
to the Charleston Farms area along Remount Road to Liberty Hill, the Park Circle area of North Charleston is at a place where
it may never be again. From rich to poor, with Black, White and Latino communities converging, this area presents to us an
opportunity to obey Christ. Literally every demographic of souls in the greater region live
together here within a three mile radius of Park Circle. There will never be a window like this again.

| Montague Avenue in Summer of 1942 |
The Old Village area of North Charleston: East Montague Avenue
shops and businesses are experiencing a renaissance, with new businesses locating in the existing
buildings, including restaurants, a small grocer, and some small shops. The city was incorporated here in 1972. My
grandmother, worked for Mayor Bourne as a secretary for years and both grandparents attended church with Bourne at 1st Baptist
North Charleston. He and his wife are currently members at Cooper River Baptist.

"Education is a Possesion of Which Man Cannot Be
Robbed" - The motto of North Charleston High for over 70 years. My grandparents met and attended here
in the 1930s, when the mascot was the Blue Devils. Pa Pa still has newspaper scraps of when North Charleston High's football
team, which he played for, beat the Summerville Greenwave 90 to 0. The game was ended after the third quarter. The school
has a rich history and recently quite a number of alumni gathered for a gigantic and successful reunion, which was organized
and galvanized by Tammy Drawdy. She has done a lot of hard work to remind people of the times shared and spent together by
so many. You can see more about the reunion here:
