hilton head island: The Compass Rose Park on Hilton Head, worth a visit!
- 05/21/10 07:07 AM
I keep hearing people complain about the Compass Rose Park on Pope Avenue & New Orleans Rd. I wonder if the people who are complaining have been to the park. If they had been to the park I don’t believe they would be complaining. The Town of Hilton Head Island and Ed Drain did a wonderful job with designing and building the park. The landscaping has begun to mature and will only get better with time. I went by the other day and took some pictures of the flowers, Wall boards depicting the history of the island, and the statue of … (0 comments)

hilton head island: It's about time
- 04/06/09 12:09 AM
I have been screaming at our town that they are responsible for all the old properties that are in dire need to be redeveloped, but are not. The Town of Hilton Head in 1987 adopted a very strict but good LMO (Land Management Ordinance), and all properties that were built at that time were grandfathered in. However, they were not grandfathered in the event it's use changed or improvements made. In that event the property owner would have to conform the property to meet the LMO. For many properties it was virtually impossible, or the owner would loose valuable square footage. … (0 comments)

- 12/31/08 07:35 AM
It sure has been nice this past week. My son and I went for a boat ride this past Saturday, and it was more like a early fall day than the end of December. The temperature was in the high 70's and the water was calm. We pretended we were fishing, but what we really wanted was to just get out on a beautiful day. Hudson's Seafood Restaurant is a great place for local seafood in fall and winter months. Hudson's buys fresh local seafood from the docks, shrimp, fish, oysters. I only believe in buying fresh local seafood. Unfortunately, the … (0 comments)

Several top executives of Sea Pines Company, Wes Wilhelm, Joe Webster, and David Aimes, went out and purchased what is currently Long Cove.

A recent article in our local Island Packet indicated that the Sea Pines Country Club was suing CSA (Community Service Association) which is in essence the Sea Pines Property Owners Company that maintains our covenants, elects a board and oversees all aspects of common properties and especially security. The lawsuit is about being charged a $5.00 gate fee for non-residents attending functions at the Club. The CSA board is comprised of 4 groups: ASPPO (Association of Sea Pines Property Owners), Sea Pines Company (or assigns, Riverstone Group), CSA and Commercial Property Owners (Harbour Town, South Beach, and Sea Pines Center) The … (0 comments)
