I just started noticing it got bald, it was nothing but mud.

And I'm like, “What's going on?” And it just got worse and worse. And it had to have been after 2015 because that's when they had that thousand-year rain that saturated the area with fresh water. So, I kept asking people, talking to anybody who would listen.

One time, they had a program over at the College of Charleston where students came into this neighborhood and looked at the buildings and drew things to say, “Okay, we can make the building look better if we did this or that,” or bring it back to standards.

And so that day at the College of Charleston, after they talked so much about this area, I brought it up again.

The marsh is dying. It's nothing but mud.

And then after it was over, Dr. Albert George walked up to me and said, “Tell me about it.“

And I told him and he said, “Well, you sure you got good filtering going into the thing? I said, “Yeah.” So he said, “Well, I'm going to follow you over there then.”
