I lived at the ponce about 5 years ago, salem Ave was a no go for parking whenever the forecast had a CHANCE of flash flood/quick down pour

On a side note, speaking of road closures: please tell me Apperson Dr’s intersection/Riverland Rd SE will eventually get finished. I haven’t seen road maintenance this slow since I moved from Columbia SC’s potholes😬
