at Royal Oaks Apts, name is changed but they are still there.
Ate are that Hardees so much, I swore off their burgers for life. I have eaten one since I left Clemson and hated it.
But, a poor college student could eat there and Taco Tico on very little funds.

was there any plans for the wood from the trees being removed?-similar to the Douthet Hills re-use? I'd like a shot at salvaging some of it for my woodworking projects.

here is Lot 5 in 1983 (the huge balloon release), a c/p of the video. Can't really tell if the trees had been planted here and are really small or not.
It may have been 84 when they got planted. They were maybe 10' tall, 6" diameter when planted.

So many buildings had names associated with slavery back then. I can't bear to look at it.
