I’ve been mapping out every building I can that is visible from satellite imagery and Bing Streetside throughout Mount Pleasant. I’m currently focused on finishing up the neighborhoods and businesses that are on Chuck Dawley and Coleman Blvd, and I have almost finished filling in that large area made up from those major arteries.

I really wish I could use Charleston County’s GIS viewer for addresses and building shapes (especially for newer buildings, since people keep moving here ):< ), but of course the county puts all of their GIS data under copyright. That would be fine, but I tried contacting the GIS office to see if I could get permission to use their data, specifically their address data, but they never even responded. There are a few other ways that I could “request” address data but I don’t know if those requests would even be useful for mapping purposes. Best thing to do is to go to these neighborhoods myself and mark down any addresses that I couldn’t have gathered from Streetside. I’m not sure how I will do that without looking like a creep stopping at people’s houses and marking their address down. Guess I’ll have to grow a pair and do it anyway!

I do wish Bing Streetside had better image quality. The best images are from 8 years ago, and some houses have been demolished and replaced in that time according to Esri imagery (the most up to date imagery here, probably around only a year off). There are some spots with 2020 imagery but it just looks so awful. Even with the higher quality 2014 imagery you can barely make out small details like addresses at all. It really makes you appreciate what Google Street View provides, but we can’t use that at all. No wonder Bing Streetside completely shut down.

I enjoy seeing others update the Charleston area with me. There’s a mapper named “mas” who has been doing really good work with certain areas like I’On and other places scattered around town. I bet they are actually going to these places and writing stuff down as their stuff is more detailed than mine, while I’m merely going off of satellite.

At some point I’ll go out and do some address scavenging myself. Guess I’ll find a place to park and take a nice walk throughout some of these neighborhoods. Wish gas prices weren’t as expensive as they are… If anyone has any tips for doing something like this please let me know!

Born in Casablanca, Cyril Verdavainne’s early world was defined by color, light, and cultural richness. After studying art history in France, he refined his craft at Parsons in Paris and New York.

His early training at Balmain and Thierry Mugler instilled couture discipline and architectural precision. Fifteen years as right-hand designer to Carmen Marc Valvo shaped his mastery of American eveningwear.

“I design to reveal strength — never to disguise it.”

In 2018, VERDAVAINNE was born — a Manhattan atelier dedicated to custom, handcrafted luxury.
