Mount Pleasant diversity

While I sort of agree with Mr. Edwards quote below, I don't think people should have to accept dangerous or even rude people. When I lived in Mount Pleasant several years ago, I was always bothered about how dirty the streets were on the weekend mornings.

But of course it is certainly only a minority who is out all night, getting drunk and leaving their trash all over.
