TEN YEARS AGO
In the November 10, 2005 edition of the paper our cover and centerfold featured a Garden and Art Tour: A street of newly constructed upscale custom homes served as a canvas for a special event on Daniel Island that benefitted the lowcountry affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Unlike typical show house formats, the “Garden and Art Tour on Daniel Island” showcased modern day interpretations of the lifestyle and cultural aspects for which historic Charleston is renowned, including art, architecture, gardens, outdoor living, food and entertaining.
In other top news, only 30 Daniel Island precinct voters turned out to vote in the municipal elections. There were 2,672 registered voters in the Daniel Island precinct, making voter turnout at a dismal 1.1 percent. Poll workers said they had little to do as voters trickled in to cast their ballots. Low voter turnout was attributed to the short ballot. The only item on the ballot for District 1 voters was an uncontested seat for the Commission of Public Works (CPW).
