Our previous Mystery Photo
Our Sept. 23 mystery, “Where is this bike parked?” got correct answers from all over. The bike, as many knew, was outside the College Park baseball stadium at the corner of Rutledge and Francis streets. Look closely and you can see some of the blue and red doves painted in the Charleston Strong campaign.
Hats off to these readers who knew the answer: Legare Clement, Todd Chas, Jack Bass, Joe Mendelsohn, George Baker and Mike Dodd, all of Charleston; Chris Brooks and Marie Annand, both of Mount Pleasant; Chuck Boyd of Hanahan; Charlie Morrison of James Island; Stephanie Chomos of Summerville; Heyward Baker of Kingstree; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Durant Petit and Wendell Maxwell.
Graf shared that Rutledge Avenue “gets its name from the Rutledge family, which called the Charleston area home. The thoroughfare pays homage in particular to Edward Rutledge, a Revolutionary and, at age 26, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. I could not find the origin of Francis Street, but maybe it was named after Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, but I could not find any mentions of this street being named for him.”
