## Resource

Charleston’s water system sent out nearly 2,000 condolence letters to living residents after a tech glitch mixed up obituary records—now they’re scrambling to fix the mess. Meanwhile, an 18-year-old, Preston Fabers, was fatally shot on a CARTA bus while reportedly trying to protect a friend; police are still searching for suspects. In Park Circle, DIG in the Park has rebranded as Rocko’s—named after the owner’s dog—with new TVs, bathrooms, and seafood on the menu. Mount Pleasant is pausing new data center projects for 120 days to assess environmental and utility impacts. And Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, still gifting free books to kids across seven SC counties, paused new enrollments due to funding shortages—but volunteers are rallying to get it back on track.
