I turned forty-five in February. My brother called in the morning. My mother called at noon. Two friends sent texts. I appreciated all of it. In the evening I went to the barn, which is where I go in the evening, and I told the horse I was forty-five. I said it the way you state a fact that you are still adjusting to. He was eating hay and he did not stop eating hay and he did not look at me with any of the expressions that humans offer when you say a number that has weight behind it. He pulled another mouthful of hay and chewed it with the unhurried focus of an animal for whom the passage of human time is entirely abstract. I told him I was not sure how forty-five felt yet. He pulled another mouthful of hay. I told him I was in good health and the ranch was in good shape and the horses were well and by most reasonable measures the list of things going right was longer than the list of things going wrong. He finished that section of hay and looked up at me briefly before locating the next section. I drove home and made dinner and went to bed forty-five years old and not disturbed about it. The horse helped. Unbothered is contagious. 🐴

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING IN FOUNTAIN INN MARCH 19 at 6:00 pm 300 Wall Street.

Subject: Request for zoning change to PD/FRD, which is a Planned Development. This is considered a major change by the city. It is already zoned residential, but the developer, Raby Properties, LLC, is requesting this change to build multi-family units, which will mean more more people, and worst of all, more traffic! Please realize that this is on Speedway Drive near Quillen Avenue, in close proximity to the Fountain Inn High School. Let them build single-family units, but not multi-family! Please show up at the meeting this Thursday evening at 6:00 to voice your concerns. Even if you don’t live near Speedway Drive, we need to let the city know that we have had enough!

Great news!

A lot of people have said about the proposed 800-acre annexation into Fountain Inn: “If the city doesn’t approve it, it will just be developed anyway.”

That may be true — but how it gets developed matters.

If the property stays in Greenville County, the developer must follow the county’s environmental overlay protections, which require stream buffers, conservation areas, and limits on how densely the land can be built. Those rules protect natural drainage, open space, and sensitive land.

If the property is annexed into the city, those county protections generally go away and the land falls under city zoning, which can allow more intense development and higher density.

So the real question isn’t whether it will be developed — it’s under whose rules it will be developed.

Keeping the property in the county means:
• Stronger environmental protections
• Lower development intensity
• Growth managed under existing county standards

Allowing development is one thing. Changing the rules to allow more intense development is another.
