Due to several complaints about loiters, noise, and children being left unattended, a curfew was initiated on July 1, 2012. If you or your invited guest are caught loitering in the parking lot or on the property, you will be arrested and/or evicted. If you have questions, please feel free to call the office 843.393.0436.
