ONE ONE THING THAT I WANT TO SAY IS THE TOWN HAS MADE SOME INROADS OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AND YET THIS IS YET ANOTHER WAY FOR TO ENGAGE AND ENHANCE THESE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE HAVE HERE . HEARING THE STORIES OF THE COMMUNITY OUR ELDERS OF BUSINESSES THAT WERE ON HILTON HEAD ONCE AND THAT WILL BE HERE ONCE AGAIN. SO I WANT TO BRING THAT DREAM BACK.

I WANT IT TO BE A REALITY. I WANT IT TO BE HERE AND I WANT IT TO BE FULL AND FULL AND

[00:15:01]

SO ON HILTON HEAD YOU HAD YOUR FARMERS, YOU HAD YOUR DOCTOR, YOU HAD YOUR LAWYERS, YOU HAD YOUR YOUR FAMILIES THAT WERE GROWING TOMATOES, WATERMELON MY FAVORITE SUGAR CANE WHERE SOMEONE WOULD BRING THAT BACK I WON'T BRING ANY NAMES UP SOME SQUASH PEAS BUTTER BEANS, FRUITS PLENTY OF THINGS TO HELP THEIR FAMILIES SURVIVE DURING A TIME WHEN THERE WAS NO BRIDGE, WHEN THERE WAS JUST A MULE, THERE WAS A COW FROM CHICKENS. YOU HAD TO DO WHAT YOU HAD TO DO UNDERSTANDABLE. WE'LL MOVE FORWARD A FEW SOME YEARS.

SOME YEARS WE'VE GOT OUR BOATS, WE GOT OUR SHIP, OUR SHRIMPING CO-OP.

THERE ARE SOME OLDER FOLKS HERE TODAY THAT THERE A PART OF THAT FISHING CO-OP THAT WAS A BIG THING FOR HILTON HEAD. ANOTHER WAY TO HELP OUR FAMILIES SURVIVE IT, PATTY AN ECONOMY THAT WE ALL ENJOYED. EVERYONE ENJOYS SOME SEAFOOD. WE HAVE PLENTY OF SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS. TELL US ABOUT THIS STORY ON HILTON HEAD.

I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF ANY OF YOU HAVE KNOW ABOUT ANY OF THESE BUSINESSES THAT WERE HERE FARMERS CLUB FUNERAL HOME THAT WAS IN THE JANESVILLE ROAD AREA RIGHT OWNED STORE THAT WAS ALSO IN THE JONES JANESVILLE ROAD AREA AND, MR. WILLIAM BROWN STORE. SO THESE ARE PROOF THAT THERE WAS ANY ECONOMY HERE THAT WAS TAPPED INTO THAT IS THAT WAS A VIBRANT PORTION OF HILTON HEAD .

IT WAS A IT WAS A BIG OF HILTON HEAD. YOU WENT TO YOUR CORNER STORE TO GET THE THINGS THAT YOU NEED BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU DID. THERE WEREN'T ANY BIG BOX STORES THAT WERE HERE TO HELP OUT SCHOOLING AND OTHER THINGS AND THIS IS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER ON BUT SCHOOLING WASN'T WASN'T HERE IN THE BEGINNING WERE STUDENTS, CHILDREN.

THEY HAD TO TRAVEL BY BOAT TO GO GET THE SCHOOL WAY IN BEAUFORT AND SAY SAY WAY IN BEAUFORT NOW BECAUSE YOU CAN DRIVE THERE. BUT BEFORE THAT WASN'T THE CASE WHERE DO WE END UP? THERE WAS A BRIDGE BRIDGE OPEN 1950S SINCE I WAS NOT BORN.

I NOT THOUGHT ABOUT FULL TRANSPARENCY. I WAS NOT BORN AT THAT TIME.

HOWEVER, WHEN THE BRIDGE COMING SARA BECOME EIGHT WITH THE BRIDGE COMING THAT WAS WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE HILTON HEAD BE OPEN BE OPEN TO KNOW THE THINGS THAT WE NEEDED COME AND THEY COME AND THEY THINGS THAT WE ALL NEED WE TAKE FOR GRANTED SOMETIMES SO JUST WANTED TO GO BACK AND SHOW THAT AND THEN I WILL ALSO THE TOP LEFT DIRT ROADS WE STILL HAVE DIRT ROADS ON HILTON HEAD THE OPENING OF THE AIRPORT IN IN 67 THE ROUNDABOUT COMPLETED IN PINES TRACK AND CIRCLE COMPLETED IN 1962. SO THESE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED. SMALL PIECES BUT MAJOR FOR OUR COMMUNITY WELL FAST FORWARD WE HAVE THESE STORES THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE GRANT FAMILY YOU KNOW THERE WAS EDDY GRANT'S BORN SQUIRE POLK ROAD YOU KNOW THEY HAD A GENERAL STORE SO THERE THERE ARE KEY AREAS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THAT WERE THRIVING AND THESE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS AND I THINK WE'RE ALL EXCITED TO GET BACK TO THAT PLACE TO SEE THINGS THE WAY THAT THEY WERE NOT TO MOVE BACKWARDS BUT TO MOVE FORWARD IN A IN A GOOD WAY. YOU'VE GOT A YOU HAVE ON THE BOTTOM YOU HAVE THIS TABBY WHICH WAS, YOU KNOW, RECONSTRUCTED.
