Mr. Green, owner of Lee's Barber Shop, retired in December at the age of 80. Called Mr. Lee by many, he began cutting hair 70 years ago! I miss seeing him standing in his doorway in the afternoons and evenings as I drive home down Ashley Avenue. Thanks for posting this, Joan!
I have determined that when the day comes that I decide to stop coloring my hair and embrace the grey, I will go to a proper barber shop and have myself a crew cut.
This is awesome reading up on my great uncle richard. He just recently passed and we buried him today in summerville. I love reading about how awesomr of a guy he was in charleston cutting peoples hair ! Long live my uncle richard ! #TeamGreen 💚💚

Maria - Nice to know the real story. It is adorable. It looks like they just built in the driveway.
Sounds like this little hole-in-the-wall place made him a decent living for 7 decades. Good for him. :)

Thanks to Maria for the background information. What a great story; I hope that Mr. Green is well and enjoying his well-deserved retirement.
I agree. Nice to know the background. I still think I might make a good barber. :)
Not a bad life I bet.

You have been trimming your own hair for years, I don't think you would need to go to barber school......you are good to go! Sally
It's nice to know there's a city where zoning officials have a sense of humor!
Ha! And I will be there to film it!
Sad but true :)
Perhaps it was grandfathered in. After I graduate from Barber school and take it over they will change the zoning law.
