Charles Green lives on Good Street, in a brick home with huge aloe plants in the middle of a woodsy neighborhood. It's in the heart of North Charleston's new cityscape, within walking distance of its vaunted Coliseum entertainment and shopping mecca. Except he can't get there from here. That drone coming from the dead end of Good Street is I-526, between it and the Tanger Outlet Mall. The only way out of his Highland Terrace neighborhood is a two-lane that snakes the other way, under the intersecting ramps of I-26 and I-526, past the Coburg Dairy and a cement yard into the Mall Drive corporate district. That hits the nail on the head about what's right and what's wrong with North Charleston's seemingly two-minded drive to build up dense urban "little cities" while annexing acres on acres of suburban subdivisions.
