Wednesday’s annoucement that the Digital Corridor’s third startup space, the Flagship Three, the Santa-Maria, the proposed mother hen of all incubators, if you will, is nearing final approval from Charleston’s dreaded Board of Architectural Review (BAR). The city leadership, through the Corridor, for obvious reasons, wants to set up a tech district in walking distance of the Tattooed Moose. The BAR’s job, on the other hand, is to keep things in the holy city from changing, which we all know is the paradox that is Charleston.

Let us rejoice and raise a shot of espresso!
