I will go first.

I wish IKEA wasn't 4-5 hours away and I wish we had a good Korean Restaurant.

What do you wish we had here that we do not currently have?

I think there was a recent thread on this if I'm not mistaken.

I thought it needed some comprehensive fitness clubs with weight machines, free weights, basketball and racquetball courts, pool, aerobics classes, maybe tennis courts. St. Andrews Fitness in West Ashley was best thing I found but the weight machines were not that great and the basketball court was a half court with a rubber floor, right next to the pool, and nobody was ever using it.

We need a good 1/2 mile DIRT race track in Charleston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of you dont know this,,but we "had" four great dirt tracks back in the 60's and 70's.

Man it was fun!! My Dad's car would win most of the time. (Little Bud Moore even drove the car for a while) The old NASCAR guys know who Im talking about.

Cabela's is a great choice!

I wish we had a Buca Di Beppo Italian Restaurant.

I wish we had a decent drag strip- we did (Cooper River), but we just HAD to have more tract housing.

I wish we had a nuclear power plant nearby- I'd have a place to work closer than Jenkinsville or Hartsville.

That isn't very convenient if you live out in the burbs. I didn't know they let non-students, non-staff work out there but I don't really want to work out at a facility designed for college kids. Just would make me feel old and it seems like I shouldn't be there because it is for the students.

I think Summerville has a nice new YMCA.

Dave & busters, a par 3 course with a batting cage, a health club other than east shore with an outdoor pool etc, a mayor that hasn't been in office since I was crapping my diapers, a main thoroughfare that doesn't flood everytime it rains, bonefish grill and a partridge in a pear tree
