Pat, we’d like to buy a “d”

As part of the Adopt-A-Street program, SC Progressive Network volunteers working on behalf of the Modjeska Simkins School have earned signage to mark their work over the past year cleaning up the stretch of Marion Street between Elmwood to Taylor.

Unfortunately, they misspelled Modjeska. It’s an easy mistake to make, as Modjeska herself grumbled about the difficult name she was saddled with. We’re working to get it corrected.

We appreciate everyone who has put time into helping beautify our neighborhood, but especially Chris Gardner, who has been our liaison to the City and has coordinated the work crews.
