Letter To Editor

Dear Editor, I wanted to write to congratulate Jimmy Ward and all the Crabpot Players on the great success of Charlotte’s Web.  All 4 of the shows were sold out early and with good reason.  The Crabpot Players do such an incredible job with every show they put on.  Jimmy is a joy to work... »

Letters to the editor

Dear Neighbors, I just wanted to say how proud I am of Folly Beach! On Memorial Day weekend our Public Safety Department was everywhere on the beach. There were at least 6 four wheelers on patrol as well as plain clothes officers walking and on bicycles. They were kind, polite and respectful, not trying to... »

By Lauren Dean Some folks say excessive and abusive noise is something residents are expected to endure as the price of living in paradise.

Dear Editor, I read the letters to the editor in the April 16 edition of “The Folly Current” and would like to comment.

Dear Editor, Why has the Mayor and the City of Folly Beach failed to take full advantage of the benefits available to the City of Folly Beach under the “American Recovery and Investment Act” (ARRA)?

Letters to the Editor: February 19, 2010

Dear Editor, Did you know that the mayor of Folly Beach has an allotted salary of $9,600? That number is for the entire year, which by my calculations would barely cover my share of rent for the quaint dilapidated beach shack I call home. Carl Beckmann can attest to the fact that being... »
