Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette Blogs

So maybe your pup can't pig out on chocolate bunnies. Take him to the Tail-Waggers Easter Biscuit Hunt this Saturday, and let him run wild! The hunt is set for 11 a.m. in the yard outside of Tail-Waggers in Coligny Plaza. Bring a basket or bag to collect treats ... if your dog doesn't eat them on the spot.

The Hilton Head Humane Association will have pets up for adoption available.

Details: 843-686-3707.

A blogger on this Web site recently expressed frustration with the reordering of The Beaufort Gazette’s online and print products — a reordering necessitated by economic circumstances. More to the point, he was fed up “supporting” a hometown newspaper that in his view wasn’t particularly responsive to its customers. I hope he changes his mind. We care very much what you folks think and try very hard to give you a product you find useful and enjoyable, even in a challenging economy.

Noise, noise, noise. Crunched metal and shattered glass. More noise. Revving engines. Vin Diesel’s giant head. Hot chicks in tight miniskirts. Even more noise. The end.

That’s pretty much all there is to “Fast & Furious,” essentially a remake of the 2001 hit “The Fast and the Furious” with the same cast, except it seems to exist in some parallel universe where the word “the” no longer exists. It also seems to function outside of logic, cohesive plot structure and the laws of gravity, but hey — this being the fourth film in the street-racing series, such niceties have long since been tossed out the widow and run over repeatedly.

The Beaufort Redevelopment Commission is going to ask business owners along Boundary Street if they are willing to chip in so plans to revamp the gateway into town can proceed.

Right now, the city is $3 million short for a $25 million plan that would include a median, bike lanes, a pedestrian walkway, other streetscape improvements and a roundabout at Ribaut Road.

Redevelopment Commission members decided Thursday to research an additional tax on commercial property along that road and created a subcommittee to survey business owners.
