Charleston’s wildest house guests

Inside a Charleston home, raccoons, opossums, and even beavers get a second chance at life thanks to Samantha MacDougal and Keeper of the Wild. For over 30 years, this nonprofit has been rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife across nine counties. What’s really eye-opening is how misunderstood animals like raccoons are—MacDougal’s favorite, Bleep, lives with a neurological condition but still enjoys a full, happy life. She’s passionate about changing minds: raccoons are smart, loving, and deserve respect. Her advice? Give wildlife space, offer fresh water, and watch in awe. How do you feel about sharing our neighborhoods with these wild neighbors? #Science #Charleston #WildlifeRescue

Charleston’s port keeps goods moving strong

Charleston’s port is quietly powering the Southeast, even as shipping slows down across the country. Thanks to the deepest harbor on the East Coast, ships can come and go no matter the tide—meaning fewer delays for local businesses and faster access to goods for everyone. Even with a dip in container volumes, the port’s rail connections are breaking records, especially in Dillon. It’s impressive to see how this teamwork keeps our shelves stocked and our economy humming. How do you think these behind-the-scenes efforts impact your daily life or local business? #Business #Industry #Charleston
