I was born in Montana, raised in Tampa, and currently reside in a small town in the lowcountry of South Carolina. Walterboro (the 'Boro) has about 5,100 residents. It's a moderately interesting place. I work in the public defender's office representing poor people charged with crimes. Some of them did it. Some of them didn't do it. Some are not very nice, a lot of them are just regular Joes with a huge plate of bad luck.
Had some preliminary hearings today in the Boro and in Green Pond, a whistlestop in Southeast Colleton County. Green Pond boasts a post office, a Baptist Church, a nasty railroad crossing, and a big country store, Wood Brothers' Store. At Wood Brothers' store, you can purchase pickled pig's feet, fishing supplies, barbeque sandwiches or fishing licenses. Wood Brothers is also where the magistrate holds court in Green Pond. The store owner, Richard Woods, used to be the magistrate in Green Pond, but he recently retired after many years of service.
