Drainage Pond

Our community is still very much under construction, with completion scheduled for sometime in 2023. The reddish brown color of the storm drainage pond is typical of the soil/clay of this region.

The subdivision in which I live is nearing completion. There are about a dozen houses entering into the final phases of construction. This is our community house, which is not quite ready for use yet. I expect to see some landscaping soon.

Faithful Slaves Monument
Fort Mill, SC 2022
I found this monument very interesting. After doing a little research, it seems that this monument is the only one ever erected to faithful slaves in the United States. The inscription reads:
“Dedicated to the Faithful Slaves - Who loyal to a sacred trust, toiled for the support of the army, with matchless devotion, and with sterling fidelity guarded our defenseless women and children during the struggle for the principles of our Confederate States of America.”

BBQ and Beer
Fort Mill, SC 2022
People take their BBQ very seriously in this part of the country. While I wasn't able to sample the BBQ at the Improper Pig, I did have a pint at the brewery located next door.

Railroad Car
Fort Mill, SC 2022
On a recent photo walk in Fort Mill, SC I ran across this railroad car sitting on what appears to be a residential lot. I'm not sure if it's a passenger car or a dining car, but it looks like it is being used. The sign on the side of the car says it's part of the Lancaster and Chester Railroad, The Springmaid Line. The railroad is still in existence and has been for over 120 years.
Happy NewYear!!
