I’m sad to inform you that the Golf Course of South Carolina at Crickentree has closed its doors. Golf courses are having a tough go of it lately so some might say this is just a sign of the times. The northeast Columbia area has an oversupply of golf courses and all are struggling. But […]
Letter to the Editor: A Library in Town
July 19, 2018 By
Caring Ridgeway residents have sparked a constructive discussion about the new library. Clearly, all of the input thus far has been heartfelt and useful to ponder. I too have some thoughts to share: We need a library now. The temp facility is a good low cost solution for the time being. A permanent facility solution will […]
Guest Editorial: Mourning Annapolis
July 5, 2018 By
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and colleagues at the Capital Gazette. We live in difficult times, particularly for those who courageously cover the news even when they know the news may not be popular with everyone.

Joe Mceachern has been a longtime friend to those of us in Blythewood, especially us residents on Rimer Pond Road, LongCreek Plantation, Heins Road area and other areas of the community who have fought zoning issues at the county government level.
