The South Carolina Highway 22 Extension Project could already displace Horry County homeowners. But it also has raised concerns of critical wetland impacts and increased flood risk for residents who live downstream from the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge’s integrity and purpose could be impacted by the proposed highway, which is slated to run directly adjacent to the refuge’s boundary. Many local environmentalists are concerned with the opportunity for other development to sprawl and the impact it would leave on rural communities. “I can truly say that this is one of the most impactful development projects that that has ever been proposed along the North Coast, and it really could be devastating,” said Grace Gasper, executive director for Friends of Coastal South Carolina, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the mission of federally protected land. Horry County has applied for permits through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District, to build a 28-mile highway extension connecting U.S. 501 northwest of Conway to Highway 17 in the Murrells Inlet area. The Corps has released three reasonable alternatives , all of which cross the Waccamaw River near the refuge’s property line. The Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge was founded in 1997

Perhaps the surest sign of success for any company is when its name becomes synonymous with the product it sells. Think Band Aids. Or Kleenex. Or, more controversially, Flock, whose cameras have become the latest flashpoint in America’s — and South Carolina’s — neverending debate over where to draw the line between public safety and government surveillance.

One of these parades rolls past an opera house that opened in 1908, back when traveling shows arrived by train. I love that a modern Santa gets to wave from the same square where those old performers once hurried to the stage. Another parade follows a street that sits near...

A daily look at some of The News & Observer’s headlines on Nov. 14 in past years. On this day in 1976, The News & Observer published a story in which Mount Olive Pickle Co. President John Walker described how his company sold pickle-shaped soap, pickle-themed T-shirts and squeaky pickle toys to make people laugh — and increase sales. The business, which formed in 1926, had 25 million jars of pickle products annually across 20 states and made up about two-thirds of pickle sales in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. “I don’t think there’s any question that this has helped our sales,” Walker said of the merch. “There’s just something funny about pickles, so we’ve got to make it a plus for us.” Walker’s 1,000 pickle brine tanks and a witty sense of humor helped North Carolina become one of the nation’s largest cucumber producers. At the time, the company had sales of more than $10 million a year. Walker said he delighted in learning that people learned about his town, the brand’s namesake, from his company’s pickles.
