Kingstree photographer Linda W. Brown sent along this photo that shows the 1960s-era hospital for Williamsburg County that closed last week because of problems related to the fall’s massive flooding. Modular buildings are supposed to fill in temporarily, but whether that’s just a temporary stopgap pending later closure is anybody’s guess, as outlined in today’s news story on challenges facing rural hospitals.
Last week’s great photo, by the way, was of a pelican perching under the World War II Memorial Bridge (also known as the North bridge) over the Ashley River in Charleston. Photo by Michael Kaynard, Kaynard Photography.
