This scene has completely changed now but it is still one of my favorites. I took this a few years ago in Dereef Park on Morris St. The little Praise House was on my list to renovate when I won the lottery. That hasn't happened, new housing units are being built in the park. The chapel has been moved but it is being rebuilt and I check on it when I walk by.
I had a meeting at Roper Hospital the other day and parked on Rutledge Ave. so I could take a quick detour to check on the activity at Dereef Park on Morris St. The little Praise House has been in bad shape heading to worse for many years. The current plan seems to be to move it to the other side and the city of Charleston intends to repair it. I am relieved. It is a favorite of mine and on my list to fix up when I won the lottery. This relieves my mind since I never even remember to check a lottery ticket. I'll be happy to see it fixed up and usable.
