Running Things with Kimsey Hollifield

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to step back into your past, only this time, with a mission to reshape its future? Join us for an engaging chat with Dickie Myler, a small business owner and a mayoral candidate who is on this very journey in his hometown of Summerville. As we walk down memory lane with Dickie, we explore the town's simpler times and the nuances of how the seventh largest city in South Carolina has evolved since his high school days. We delve into the charm of the old town, with its Tasty Freeze and drive-ins, and Dickie’s quest to retain this quaint essence as the town expands.
Traffic woes, road construction, and a major project delay of 20 years - sounds familiar? Well, Dickie is not just nostalgic about Summerville, he's a man with a plan. From a new comprehensive traffic study to strategies for slowing down traffic in the historic district, he is all set to address these concerns. We also discuss the potential of repurposing existing structures while preserving the town's heritage, and the vision of a new restaurant and shopping district.
Finally, we take a moment to appreciate the heritage of Summerville, as seen through Dickie's family history. With his great-great-grandfather being the first mayor, and a family deeply rooted in real estate, Dickie has the combination of pedigree and passion to lead Summerville. As a small business owner, his perspective is grounded in practicalities and informed by experience - a key to achieving a balance between growth and tradition.
