I eat crow a lot .. I've grown accustomed to it ... but you still never say 'Avoid parts of North Charleston' .. you always say 'Stay away from North Charleston' as if the entirety of the city is a bad place to live.
So no .. no crow or shoe leather for me tonight. Nice try though.
Because it is easier to just lump it all together than to try to sort out the few good areas, the majority of N. Charleston needs a good enema...

Because those schools are not part of CCSD, the presiding school district for Most of N. Charleston, a district that on average has a less than stellar rating...
The only reason those schools and you have a N. Charleston Address is because good ole Keith Summy has annexed his way into Dorchester County in more than one area, look at the strip of land over on Hwy 61 across the other side of the Ashley River that they annexed....

Who gives a dang if they are part of CCSD? They are in NORTH friggin CHARLESTON. Period .. I live in North Charleston. It doesn't matter how you paint it or dance around it .. it IS North Charleston.
As for your annexation excuse .. look at Wescott and their Summerville zip codes.
I have no idea what you guys are talking about (have never been to Charleston), but it's been entertaining! So I'm boiling it down to this: OTC says avoid North Charleston, Bulldog says "No, I live in North Charleston and it's not all bad", bu then OTC says, "That's because you don't really live in NC even though you have an NC address".....right? Yeah, we have that issue where I live too -- there's a kind-of-crappy area near me that is not officially in our borough but has a borough mailing address.
Friend of mine got transferred from Philly to Charleston back in the 90's. He had some hilarious stories about living down there. I remember his saying no one ever used turn signals.
Maybe you have to here more than the 'rumors'. I have a friend who hangs out with cops who tell me Summerville is on the way down, way down..............but you know what....I'm not gonna listen to them. I'm gonna trust my folks here on the board and respect they have made some good choices in where they live.

Um, that's how annexation works. It means to expand the city's boundaries to include more territory and as a result the annexed territory is subject of city services, regulation, voting privileges, and taxing authority because now it is part of the city that annexed it. The area you're talking about doesn't stop being North Charleston because it doesn't fit your notion of what North Charleston is.

So you are telling me that N. Charleston can provide the same services to the piece of land that they annexed West of the Ashley river and in Dorchester county, as they do everywhere else?
There is a point where annexation gets ridiculous....

Umm, are you saying that North Charleston municipal government doesn't provide services to the parts of the city in Dorchester County? A third of Ashley Phosphate Rd is in Dorchester County. It's not Hwy Patrol and County sheriffs I always see on that stretch of road.

I didn't say Ashley Phosphate road, I said Ashley River Road aka Hwy 61....

I was referencing this part of your quote.
