I just read in the Edisto News that the pier is coming soon. It will be between 1200 and 1500 feet. That’s longer then the Folly Beach Pier. I think that this will be a good thing for Edisto.
Definitely a good thing, can’t wait to see it.
DNR to build pier:smiley:

Where’s it gonna be?
“No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem”
beerwhere the old one was.
Edistobrad the article in the Edisto News Paper isn’t exactly correct. The paper didnt ask the new owner of the Pavilion if they could wirte the article or get any facts about it from him. The main concern of the owner is getting the Resturant and Bar open so the Waterfront can move in by May. The new owner wants the pier but nothing is set in stone. If the peir is built it most likely wont start untill late Fall or early Winter. All though the town did approve it the plan for it.
Have you heard a date yet?
I fish therefor I am ><((((º> J

You’ve got to be kidding, that is awesome, I can hear those bells ringing and the lights flashing. Big money, big money, no wammies…stop!
How would a gambling boat tie-up to a fishing pier? Thats ridiculous!

It probably depends on the definition of “fishing pier”. Just head up the coast to Garden City if you want an example of what can go horribly wrong with “fishing piers”.

That would be sooooooooooo opposed by everyone at Edisto. I can’t see that happening…at least I pray that doesn’t happen.
Just tryin’ to learn every bit I can…
I don’t see it happening either but money talks…
You are right about money talking.
However, I would hope money wouldn’t talk quite so much in that situation. It would likely drive down property values to have a gambling boat there, and it would bring in an element of society that we really don’t want or need down at Edisto. It would end up changing the face of Edisto as we know it. YUK.
Overall, I think it would be a losing proposition for everybody…except the gambling boat people, who would make out like bandits.
Just trying to learn every bit I can about fishing…
Has anyone heard of plans for a hotel on Edisto?
Last I heard it was supposed to be a Holiday Inn Express where the old car wash is located. Supposedly they are waiting on Charleston County to bring a waterline down Hwy.174. Maybe one will build closer to the beach, say near The Edistonian! Maybe PRT will buid some condos. Highway Dept. might build bridges from Edisto to Hunting Island.
Political Correctness: A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!

</font id=“quote”></blockquote id=“quote”>A bridge over the Sound??? That’s about 7 miles across. All the engineering issues aside, I hope they never build a bridge across the Sound. That would simply increase traffic and spoil the quiet atmosphere we love at Edisto.
I hope that I just didn’t pick up on your sarcasm or something, and that you were kidding. Or did you actually hear something about a bridge?
