The former Kmart at 3725 Rivers Ave. in North Charleston sold for $9.5 million, and the buyers are donating it to Kids on Point for the nonprofit's first permanent campus. The 10-acre site holds a 116,783 square foot building that has been mostly empty since 1994.

Why this matters here

Ten acres of dead frontage on Rivers Avenue is about to fill with 500 students and the adults who drive them. Foot traffic like that changes what the whole corner can support.
