He looked at me with question marks in his eyes and asked me why I was saying thank you. I replied, ‘you gave me an idea,’ and I asked him if he wouldn’t mind sharing some of his Raven’s Run neighbors’ contact info for an article I’m planning on writing about Mount Pleasant’s fly-in and fly-out community. Over the many years I would be hard-pressed to give anyone the number of times I’ve said Raven’s Run is Mount Pleasant’s first move-up community and only fly-in and fly-out community. If you lived in Mount Pleasant five decades ago you would have moved up. There were a few neighborhoods like Hobcaw Creek in 1976 that were part of the early suburban growth, as well as some others, but nothing like Raven’s Run. That’s why I often say it’s Mount Pleasant’s first move-up community. It all started in early 1980 when R.A.C. Enterprises, headed up by Robert Causey, began subdividing a track of land known as Yaupon Plantation, which made up the neighborhoods we know today as East Crossing, Crown Pointe and Raven’s Run.
