Coming February 2005.

Although West Ashley isn't defined by city limits, nor is it its own municipality, this part of Charleston is a long-standing autonomous community that's home to more than 60,000 residents and more than 3,000 business -- most of them, like WEST OF, are small, independently-owned companies.

Mission Statement:

WEST OF is West Ashley's complete source for community news, sports, business, education, and arts. Because we live and work here, it is our goal to be a part of the community's development by offering an independent voice that reflects its residents' views, accomplishments, and concerns. WEST OF also offers local businesses a sensible advertising option that appeals and is distributed directly to their customers, the more than 60,000 people who call West Ashley home.
