For years, Sidi Limehouse put up hand-painted signs near Rosebank Farms on Johns Island touting everything from tomatoes to Easter egg hunts. When the area's real estate sales wilted, he had one made saying: "Wanted: real estate agents to pick beans! See Sidi."
Then last month, he put up another: "Develop Cap'n Sam's Spit? No way." The sign included a phone number for Friends of the Kiawah River, a group he founded to oppose the development of Kiawah's southern tip.
Ok. This has left me for a loss. I...uh...um...I have no idea what the hell is going on here. I have read this over and over and it is still lost on me. Now granted, the guy makes signs. I get that. But to develop that so early in a lede without explanation is ridiculous. The story tells the rest of the tale (as it should) but the lede can leave one confused and irritable (as I am).
Extra giggle points for Cap'n Sam's Spit. Swallow already taken?
