1998. it is either the last week of march or early april. I would like
information about fishing charters. we will bring 15-30 scouts and would
like to charter a boat that will stay out to sea for 2 or three days and
two nights. please connect me at this address about information. thanks,
Ken Plan on being in the Charleston area mid October. Where are nthe best
places to get information about condos/villas for sale; retirement
communities; etc. We are lucky in that we live only 3 hours from Charleston. On any given
Saturday we are apt to drive down for lunch and a walk around town. What is Charleston like at Christmas? I'm planning a trip there for the
week after Christmas. I'm interested in hearing about events that may be
going on at that time. Thanks, P. Miller Rocky Mount, Virginia I am attending with my son an open house at the College of Charlston on
10/17/97. Could you recommend a modestly priced hotel close to campus.
Richard West We are interested in a wedding ? Hi, we're planning a trip to Charleson S.C. for about four days in
mid-October. COming from London, England we don't have the first clue
about the place so would welcome all tips and hints on the following: Nice
hotel with pool either in the historic centre or near swimmable beach -
can one swim in the Ocean in October? We love our food, and love being
adventurous with food - ideas? Names of places? True Southern-style
stuff?? Love nature reserves, history, ethnicity ... Would really love to
hear from anyone who could help with ideas. Or ... if there's anyone out
there who offers private bed and breakfast accommodation - that would be
nice?!? Monica My husband and I have spent three vacations in Charleston, SC. We
stayed each time at the Queen Victoria Inn on King Street. It is a small
hotel with I believe about 14 rooms on three or four floors. They have a
Champagne continental breakfast delivered to your room each morning and
wine in the evening. The room we book (there are two of these type rooms)
had a fireplace and a wonderful jacuzzi. These rooms have sitting areas
and overlook King Street. We particularly enjoyed McGrady's restaurant on
Unity Alley for dinner and Hyman"s for lunch. The Charleston Grill at the
Omni Hotel was great, also. Did not particularly like Magnolia's or
Caroline's reasautant - they seemed too touristy. Anson's was pretty good
and there is a new french place (the name eludes me), but I think it is
something like Beauford's, that was great. The atmosphere on King Street
and at the Market makes you want to get out and just walk and enjoy the
people and the scenery. We hope to return very soon. I am considering a move to the Charleston area and am looking for
information re: the jewish community there?? Temple,synagogue locations,
best neighboring community ect. THANKS!! anything would help I am looking to relocate to Charlston in '98 and need info. re
employment opportunities and apartments. I am currently employed at a city
college in NYC. I am looking for tennis club or resort type of work. If
you can offer any suggestions I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you
ca couple looking to get married in charleston. any information
welcome. thanks! I will be visiting Charleston soon and would like information on where
some of the older cemeteries are located. I would especially like to visit
some in the evening that would not be locked up at 6:00 or 7:00. If you
can provide this information, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Rachel I visited Charleston, SC August 06 - 13, 1997. All of the history was
great to experience. Across from the Meeting Street Inn at the park there
is a grass house on display. The kids got a big kick out of walking inside
a house made of actual growing grass. The Carriage tour was very nice and
informative although we were disappointed when we found out that there are
actually four different tours and you have no control over which one you
will see. After you board the carriage and head around the corner, a city
worker will pick a lottery ball which designates which tour you get to
see. Also, I would like to know if anyone had a good experience on a Ghost
Walk. We took that wakling tour and got nothing out of it. The tour guide
told us maybe four stories about 'sightings' of particular ghosts and that
was all out of a two hour walk. He mostly told us the same things we heard
on the carriage tour. As for the prices, you can get several discounts by
making one stop at the visitor's center. Look on the counter for the
rainbow colored coupons. There are some at each end of the counter and you
don't have to stand in line unless you need other assistance. The short
film at the back of the center was nice, but not at all informative. We
thought we were going to see a film about Charleston, but instead we saw a
very artistic pictorial with nice music. As for the food, Poogan's Porch
was very good. I had the jumbalaya and used every little bit of cayenne
pepper that was sprinkled around my plate. When we were leaving, the kids
watched the waitress put their newly colored pictures of Poogan (the dog)
up on the wall in the entry. They were very excited. For any who went
there that week, they both had purple heads :) California Dreaming had
very good ribs, but I didn't like the sauce. The service needed some help
that day, but I was assured that it was usually better. I didn't see any
dolphins, but my mother said she has on occasion seen dolphins rather
close to the window! The view was very nice and I do reccomend trying to
get a table on the water. Tommy Condon's had great boiled peanuts. We
stopped in there just for those and to take a much needed break. If you
want to try alligator, go to 82 Queen. I heard it tastes like chicken...
:) Wild Wings was very good, but I had nachos and a burger. I just wasn't
in the mood for wings that day. Let me know if they're good so I can go
back next time! At Folly Beach there is a restaurant called "Planet
Follywood". Some go there just to get the t-shirt. Magnolia Gardens was so
nice that we went back for a second day. Our tram tour guide was great. I
can't remember his name, but it was real simple and he was a very nice
older gentleman. Beware of the house tour. Our guide was extremely
uptight. She scolded a grown man for taking a picture before she said he
could (although she gave no instructions to that effect before leading us
there and pictures are ok to take in every room). She got very touchy when
a little girl touched the pole that held up one end of the rope which
separates the tourists from the guide and the valuables. She didn't do
anything but touch it. Then when it was time to go upstairs, she was
extremely impatient when we had to wait a couple of minutes for a handicap
tourist who wanted to see the upstairs too. HELP!!! My friend is getting married in Charleston, SC and I am a
bridesmaid. The wedding is Labor Day, and we don't know where to take her
for her BACHELORETTE PARTY! Anyone with hints on NIGHTLIFE, MALE STRIPPERS
and the like PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!! It's her LAST CHANCE, we must TEMPT
her!!! I visited Charleston recently and really enjoyed the Ghost Tour. Our
guide said he has a web page. I can't seem to find it through searching
and was suprised you don't have a link on your pages. Could you look into
this? If you find it and don't want to link to it I would really
appreciate a message with the address. Thanks! Thanks to all who made suggestions we visited Charleston Aug. 14
through 18th of 1997 and had a lovely time. It is a beautiful, charming,
clean, friendly, history-ridden city. Our favorite restaurants were 82
Queen, Poogan's Porch, and Hymen's--no doubt others are excellent, but our
time was limited. Directions to the restaurant, Wreck of the Richard and
Charlene: cross on 17N to Coleman Ave. in Mt. Pleasant follow Coleman
across the first bridge, turn right on Live Oak and follow it until it
runs out, then left to the end of the street, and look for a terrible
looking place, next to a seafood processing building. The Wreck has a few
faded flags at the top. Go before it gets dark so you can find it. Sounds
terrible, looks awful, but a big surprise when you go around front. Do go
to the historical preservation place--actually there are two, one on
Meeting St. and one on the corner of King. Our secret favorite street for
walking was Church St. below Broad. Better to go in spring or fall; it was
hot. I've been going to Charleston every year for the past 5 years. My mom
and brother lived there for a bit and I just fell in love with the place.
It seems like people are interested in knowing where to eat. Some of my
favorites include The One-Eyed Parrot (Isle of Palms), Shem Creek Bar and
Grill (Mt. Pleasant-the grilled seafood is fantastic!) Bocci's
(downtown-super Italian food), Sullivans (Sullivan's Island), Station 22
(Sullivan's Island) and RB's(Mt. Pleasant). One of my favorite non seafood
places to eat is Skoogies in Mt. Pleasant. They have the most incredible
hot dogs that you will ever eat! Oh...California Dreaming in West Ashley
is also very good. Their salads are to die for! When I was stationed in Charleston 1965-1968 there was a really good
pizza place called Labraska's, are they still around? Thank You Carl Foust
We visited Charleston during Easter weekend (March 28-31) this past
year('97) and had a great time. One of the most memorable and fun times we
had was on Sunday night at Backstage Deli. An English teacher John ????
entertained us for nearly four hours straight with no break with the
widest assortment of bar room tunes you could ever imagine. He got the
whole audience which usually numbered 50, I'd guess, into the swing. It
was, by far one of the most enjoyable evenings I have had in a long time.
I hear that John ???? plays at Backstage Deli on the roof every Sunday
afternoon and night until it gets cold. I would love to have John's
telephone number so that I might entice him to do a private party for me
in Atlanta. John, are you out there? I'm an adopted Texan who was brought up in South Carolina and I love
the low country. Does anyone have any information, maps, etc. for day
tours by bicycle in the area between Charleston and Beaufort? I'm hoping
to take thirty days or so and ride a lot. Any advice/recommendations would
be welcome. Thanks, Dick Walker We love Charleston. We fly in every summer to get away from the LApace.
We love the Charleston Crab house over on Wapoo Creek for their blue crab
in garlic special. We also like AW Shucks and Hyams. Out on Mt. Pleasant
ther's a cafeteria where the She-Crab soup is supposed to be great! Also,
if you want great pie, try the little health food/boiledpeanut place in
Mt.Pleasant. All in all, we love Charleston. But hope it doesn't get too
much bigger. We were there the second week of July this year. My wife,son and I just returned from our first trip to Charleston. We
arrived 7/27/97 and left 7/31/97. The city is beautiful and we had a great
time. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Harborview across the Ashley River. We
had a great view. We did the carriage tour and the walking tour visiting
several homes. We did the Fort Sumter tour and spent a day at Middleton
Place and the Magnolia Gardens. We also enjoyed the Charleston Museum and
the Manigault House. We found a couple of small seafood restaurants that
we enjoyed but the place that really stood out for us was Pusser's on
Lockwood drive by the marina. The people were great and the food
outstanding. We couldn't fit everything in but we do look forward to
coming back to see what we missed. Thank you to the people of Charleston
for being so gracious. Bill Bilger 8/4/97 A haunting experience: the old Charleston Lighthouse. Now out of
commission, located on Folly Beach, James Island. You can get fairly close
by foot. Driving in to Folly Beach, make a left at the light. Go as far as
you can, park your car. Walk along the lane all the way to the beach, it
will only take a few minutes. The lighthouse will be right there. If
you're lucky, you might get a ride on a friend's boat & get even closer.
The lighthouse has a story to tell. Find it on the net. Type in Morris
Island Lighthouse on your favorite search engine. While at the scene of
the lighthouse, look across the water and you'll see the Sullivans Island
Lighthouse, a modern facility which replaced the Morris Island Lighthouse.
My wife and I have made reservations for our anniversary the weekend of
Labor Day. We have reservations for a suite at the Anchorage Inn and have
arranged for our anniversary dinner at Restaurant Million. Any information
about these places would be appreciated. We have also reserved a room at
the Vendue should any folks recommend one over the other. This is not to
say that we can not change any of our plans. If anyone has any advice
regarding our choices (as we have never been to Charleston before) we
would very much appreciate the input. We are also open any other ideas for
places to visit or eat during our romantic weekend. We understand that the
diner cruise is lovely???? Are the day cruises worth while? Bob Dean
EDITOR COMMENT: I've stayed at the Anchorage Inn and was very pleased with
the room and the service at the Inn. I'd say that it's a good choice -
nice and close to downtown and the waterfront park. I haven't tried
Restaurant Million but the in-laws just RAVE about it. While you're there
try the Mint Julep at 68 Queen - wonderful food and incredible service.
We just returned from a fantastic week (July 11 - 19) in Charleston. We
spent four days at Wild Dunes on Isle of Palms and had the beach all to
ourselves. We found the Wreck but missed dinner by arriving at 9:00 p.m.
The other seafood restaurants in Shem's Creek were good. My favorite meal
there was in McClellanville at the Crab Pot. Very fresh and delicious
seafood. We moved into the Historic District for our reservation at The
Meeting Street Inn. This is a very lovely and romantic Bed & Breakfast
across the street from the Market and a few blocks from the Battery. The
location was perfect for shopping on King Street and sightseeing. By all
means, use Old South for your tour. We went with them twice and enjoyed
our guide as much as the tour of this beautiful and historic city. We got
married in the Inn's courtyard by Lin Lewis of Mobile Marriages. Lin is a
terrific lady and she helped me a lot in planning the wedding. The staff
of the Inn were exceptionally kind, friendly and interested in helping us
have a memorable vacation. I highly recommend Carolina's. It's pricey but
worth every penny. We plan on returning for our anniversary (if not
before). BLUES MUSIC IN CHARLESTON: The Budweiser Lowcountry Blues Bash is
Charleston's annual celebration of authentic blues music. A citywide
event, the Bash features performances in 15-20 venues throughout metro
Charleston. These sites include pubs, coffeehouses, hotels, gardens, and
other facilities. The 1998 Lowcountry Blues Bash is slated for February
6-15. A comprehensive brochure will be available Dec. 1997. Send an SASE
to Blues Bash, PO Box 13525, Charleston, SC 29422. Our fax is
843-762-9124; email address is emusic@mindspring.com. PS: Weather in
Charleston in mid-February averages 60-70 degs. F. Last year's festival
boasted 67 performances at 19 venues over the 10 day period. See you in
February! We just returned from a 3 night/4 day trip visit in Charleston
(7/26-29/97). We had a marvelous time, though it was extremely hot and
humid. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food at Magnolia's, try the
Shrimp/Sausage and Grits. We also enjoyed TBonz(try the Market Street
Chicken and Shrimp Sandwich--spicy) and California Dreaming. We tried
unsuccessfully for 2 nights to find The Wreck of Richard and Catherine,
someone please put some good directions on the net. One night we settled
for the Trawler on Shem Creek, we were not totally pleased. Jennifer's
fish was not acceptable, it was spongy and tasted bad. They did fix this
by bringing her some more shrimp, and our waiter was very helpful. Our
experience was not good, though it was recommended by some friends. We had
a wonderful carraige tour with Old South Carraige Co. buy tix at the
Visitor's Centers and receive a discount and a DASH pass. We were
diappointed in the DASH system. We had heard it was very good, but our
experience was that it was very unreliable to its "20 minute Schedule." We
did the water color book self guided walking tour and found it very
fascinating and leading us to wonderful adventures. It took longer in the
July heat than the 2 hours the book suggests. Two places that we highly
recommend are the Charleston Preservation Society on Meeting and Calhoun
and the City Hall. The Preservation Society building has an interesting
display and helpful workers and the furthest south public bathrooms, try
to stop by there early in your tour. City Hall has a free tour of the
Council chambers. Go in and ask, its on the second floor. We enjoyed
Charleston so much we are discussing when we can return. information needed about restraunts in charleston s.c. After sending in my comments about my trip to Charleston in March and
my dining experiences I got some rather rude replies! Some suggestion was
made that I should not criticize the Wreck! In my opinion forums are
created to have people talk about their good and bad experiences. This was
my fourth annual trip to Charleston. I have always loved our time there
and have had some great meals. After driving over 900 miles, sometimes
through blizzards, I feel entitled to give my honest opinions. My favorite restaurants in Charleston are SNOB (Slightly North of
Broad) and Millon. My experience at Millon shows the generous and helpful
attitude of Charlestonians. In November of 1996 were in Charleston on a
short vacation when we realized out credit card number had been stolen so
we could no longer use that card. We were able to get by with personal
checks and a Discover card. A few days later we went to Millon for dinner.
After a fabulous meal (I recommend the seafood risotto)with excellent
service we found out they do not accept the Discover card. We did not have
any personal checks with us, so I offered that my husband would wait while
I ran to our room to get a check. But the maitre d' insisted we just drop
the check by anytime. Trust and respect and service like that are hard to
find. Not to mention good food. A few years ago my husband visited the city of Charleston and had the
most wonderful stay at Two Meeting Street Inn. It is the most elegant, yet
warm inn in which we have ever stayed. Tiffany windows and family
photographs gave it a sense of welcome not found in other inns. We went to
Charleston to look into some of my family history as I am a descendant of
Jonathan Lucas who invented the rice pounding mill and also Francis
Cordes. I was thrilled to find a home of Jonathan Lucas, near Jonathan
Lucas Street, albeit surrounded on three sides by the hospital. Though
vacant, I wanted to get inside the house in the worst way and probably
would have found a loose window or something had not my husband prevailed.
Because somehow my heart and soul seems to feel at home in Charleston, I
had a wonderful time when I found grandparents in an old cemetery. My trip
was complete when, on our last night in Charleston, we came across Cordes
Street near the Battery. Not having connected with anyone of my family
while there, seeing that street sign gave me a feeling words cannot
express. I took a picture and brought it home to my son Cordes to show him
a little piece of his heritage. i have lived in mt pleasant and the charleston area for three
years.......and i love this area i have found a home ..for sure, the
people are second to none and the atmosphere is just what we were looking
for...the beaches are clean and charleston the city is
wonderful.........anyone of any age can find an interest in charleston
....history, nitelife,dining,culture, you name it there is something for
everyone........... i have a friend that will be moving out into the real world ..i read
some 100 comments but only saw a url to the chamber of commerce....could
you help me find a list of apartments for rent on the mt pleasant area or
the charleston area.....thank you fatzman Can you tell us where to find the Judge Pringle House? We will be in
Charleston Sun-Tuesday, August 24-26. Our architect student daughter did a
study on this house in her freshman year at the University of Cincinnati.
She was not able to visit, but resources at the Winterthur Museum here in
Wilmington, DE found information on this house. We want to see it and take
photos to share with her. Thank you for any help you can provide. Your web
site is terrific! would like any and all information about housing considering move. My husband and I and another couple (all from Texas) visited Charleston
in June for the second time (first time was 1987). It is my favorite city
and favorite place to visit. The charm, old houses, battery, market, and
horse-drawn carriages are so unique and memorable. The restaurants are
worth the trip. Our favorite restaurants were "Poogan's Porch" and "The
Wreck". Thanks to the Travelogue, we knew about "The Wreck"; otherwise, we
may have missed it. Thanks, Charleston, for a wonderful vacation! Visited Charleston in June, 1997. Previous visit was in 1987. It is my
favorite city to visit when I want a relaxing vacation. The restaurants (I
prefer seafood) are so great (particularly Poogan's Porch and The Wreck).
The Streets of Charleston are very unique. Anyone who has not visited is
missing one of the U. S.'s most charming cities. LOOKING FOR A NICE HOTEL IN CHARLESTON , PREFERABLY ON OR NEAR THE
OCEAN. Last March break(97) we again went to Isle of Palms for our kid's March
break. While it is not as hot as Florida would be it was still very
pleasant. We loved our stay and really enjoyed dining at Stickey Fingers
(Charleston) and T-Bonz (Mt. Pleasant). We were however, disappointed in
our favourite restaurant (Sullivan's-Sullivans Island). Another restaurant
that was highly recommented (The Wreck-Mt.Pleasant) also was terriable!
For what some restaurants charge for seafood is bad enough-but when it is
bad it is a real disappointment. Anyway, we still love going there and
will be back again! I guess you have to check out places and not rely on
other peoples's recommendations! I spent 3 days in Charleston, S.C. in February. After doing much
research (Internet, Visitor's book, AAA book, and talking with a friend
who lived there for 2 years); I can make some of my own recommendations.
Its amazing how different people's tastes are. But I can recommend a few
places to dine that seem to praised by all. I had brunch at Blossom Cafe.
The service was good, atmosphere progressive, and the meal excellent
(grilled salmon, parmesan polenta, poached eggs). Dinner at Anson's was
excellent, (I had succulent oysters for an app., and even though my duck
entree was on the edge of being med-well, it still melted in my mouth);
and service was very good, (but someone must tell them the vinyl
tablecloths gotta go). I had a pizza at the Southend Brewery and
Smokehouse (Vendue and East Bay); white table cloths, but to me, a more
casual micro-brewery (the Carolina Blonde brew could quench any thirst).
Huge old warehouse, apparently a $4 million renovation. I ended my trip
with Magnolias. My friend told me it was "touristy"; I imagine after
living there for 2 years and hearing so much about it one may feel that
way; but it couln't be farther from the truth. I sat in the back room (the
Gallery?); dark green walls; cozier than the more active front area. My
dinner was excellent, my server excellent (he actually had something new
and interesting to say every time he put something in front of me). You
must start with the eggroll (chef's signature item). The glass wines list
was very nice also. After dinner, I window-shopped through Charleston
Place and stopped for dessert at Louis's Charleston Grill. What a great
way to end an evening with a jazz duo. Greetings, We are looking for area or regional magazines (Charleston,
S.Carolina, South east, etc. to advertise our new business. We manufacture
unique and traditional "gingerbread" for houses. Can you help? Thanks. Don
& Vicki Brady, 510 Bluebonnet, Fredericksburg, Tx 78624. we recently stayed in charleston the week of the 4th,1997. we
vacationed with our children. our kids fell in love with the water
fountain at water front park. my wife and i sat there for several hours
watching life happen. what a joy watching the kids of all races playing
together. it is a wonderful park and you can ride the trolleys called the
dash to any spot in the historic area. we stayed at the quality inn, not
expensive, it is being updated in amenities. we also explored the historic
area, learned about pirates,colonists,secession,and pure loyal south
carolinians. we enjoyed everything,the ships coming to port, wondering
where they were heading, the beach at isle of palms is excellent. fort
sumter is okay. the beautiful old homes are the backbone of charleston.
you can let yourself feel the history and get intoxicated from the
fragrance of lilac and magnolia blossums. i would very much like to visit
again and go see the charm out of the tourist way. i talked to one local
and she said it is very quite. she was right. overall i rate our trip a
ten. we had not one problem from anyone, we felt safe in the historic
district. i can not believe i have not visited sooner, thanks My finace and I are planning our wedding in May of '98 in the
Charleston area. We need any information available on weddings. We are
rather new to this area and dont really know the area. Thank You! A couple friends and I are coming to Charleston to look for apartments
next weekend (July 11-13). We have two questions: 1) Where is the best
place to live in the $500-$650 rent range (2 bdrm apt) and 2) Where should
we head at night for fun if we're only going to be there a couple of days?
We're in the 22-25 year age range, so keep that in mind. We've received an
apartment finder guide, which has been a valuable resource, but were
hoping for other input. Any help would be great! HI! My husband and I are planning to relocate to Charleston as soon as
he finds employment there. He is currently the credit manager (senior loan
officer) for the consumer loan department at the largest independent bank
in New Hampshire. He could do consumer or commercial lending and has great
references and experience. If anyone can help us out with information on
banks or C.U.'s it would be greatly appreciated. pshep@top.monad.com My family and I are interested in relocating to Charleston. I'm an
oncologist and our daughter is homeschooled. Our daughter also studies
French and Spanish with tutors. Do any of the readers know of language
lessons, drama lessons and/or homeschooling groups in Charleston? Any
information will be appreciated. I have just returned from a special family holiday in Calfornia (my
husband, daughter, parents, sister, neice). Their first visit to the
States. It was such a success I am now planning a holiday in 1998. This
time to Charleston. My husband and I were there in 1994 and had a
brilliant time. But ...... the age range this time is 76 : 45 : 21 : 9.
and the interests are varied. Is Charleston a suitable place for such a
variety of people to spend two weeks. I have details of a house to rent in
Folly Beach which sounds good but how close is it to everyting that's
going on? Help!!!! I am planning to be married on May 16, 1998. If you have any
information on reception facilities, could you please send me information.
I am also looking for any information you have on wedding information (any
topic) I would really appreciate it, I have just moved here last year and
dont know any reputible businesses. Thank You. I was wondering why there is not a link to the a Job Bank for
Charleston. It's nice place to visit, but what if you enjoy your visit and
want to move there, what are the employment opportunities. Please respond
We are planning a vacation to Charleston around the 14th of August and
would like to know what motels are available on the beaches. I understand
that there are several beaches nearby and was wandering which one would be
most economical for a family of four with children the ages of 6 and 4.
Also, what kind of restaurants are recommended? Charleston is full of
historical sights. I also heard that there is a Cypress Gardens located
there. Is it open all year round? Thanks for your information. I am the mother of the groom - wedding will be in March in Charleston.
I need help/advice on catering and/or potential locations for a FUN,
CASUAL rehearsal dinner for around 50 -60 people. We are from Texas and
are thinking barbecue or Mexican food, and can do the food ourselves if we
can find somewhere fun and different and inexpensive to have the party -
or at least some guidance. Thanks - bgouge@arn.net I live in Florida and I am trying to plan a bridal shower in July, in
Charleston. I am looking for a bakery that I can order a cake from. If
anyone has any suggestions, please email me at vci@gte.net 6/16/97 My husband and I just returned from our first trip to
Charleston, S.C. We ended up staying at the Charleston Place (Omni) Hotel.
It was probably the best hotel I've ever stayed in. We got an incredible
discount for the room, too. They will bargain with you if you keep
pressing. I think we got about $150-$200 off the original room rate. Can anyone help me? I just purchased the door and side panels from the
former East Bay Trading Company rest. and am looking for information on
that building. I was told it was originally a cotton warehouse. I believe
these doors were added at a later time, but seem to predate 1850. I am a
novice and may not be posting this in the appropriate place, but I would
highly value any info or idea of where I can locate some info on this.
Thanks! June 15, 1997. My submission is for J.B Pivots Shagworld, a club at 1162 Savannah
Highway, Charleston S.C. J.B Pivots is the spot in Charleston where Shag
is king. With the best dance floor this side of the Grand Strand, J.B.
Pivots, Home of the Charleston Shag Club, is totally dedicated to the
preservation of our beloved state dance. A must see for shaggers who visit
Charleston, a truely great place. Will be coming to Charleston in a couple of weeks. Will be staying at
Oak Plantation Campground would like to know if it is a nice campground,
any information would be helpful. My husband and I have planned a trip to Myrtle Beach in September '97
and want to take a tour of Charleston and Summerville. We think we would
like to relocte to Summerville because I have heard so many nice things
about the area. Anybody have any comments about Summerville?? I would love
to hear more about the town. Thanks! I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Charleston and want to let
you know about the best kept secret ... Brix Restaurant on Shem Creek in
Mt. Pleasnt! They serve contemporary French cuisine at reasonable prices;
it is not to be missed. I highly recommend Brix to all (843) 881-2246. Can anyone give me some information about accomodations in the
Charleston Historic District. My wife and 2 children will be traveling
with me and we are looking for something besides a Bed and Breakfast. Also
sights that are must see for a family in Charleston for 2 days. Thanks.
My fiance and I would like to get married next year (1998) on Labor Day
weekend in Battery Park or a beautiful Charleston garden. We are trying to
find information about that and information about having the reception on
the water (riverboat, yacht, boat). We are planning to keep it down to
50-100 people. Can anyone provide us with more information about any of
this. We live in Charlotte, so all plans will be made from here. Thanks,
in advance, for any help! Tanya May 28, 1997 We would like to see listings of Art and Crafts Stores of Charleston,
South Carolina, along with information of artists and craftsman in your
area. Could you give me any information on Charleston Collections at 625
Skylark Drive? I heard they had an artist that carved wooden pelicans.
Could you give me any information or how to contact this artist? Thank You
My parents wish to visit Charleston, but are still snails on the
information highway. If you could foward a request for a Charleston travel
package to be sent by snail mail, it would be deeply appreciated. Please
send to Robert Wimmer, 30 Lucille Ct. Edison N.J. 08820. Thank you again,
Bob Wimmer hi my name is mike bliss and i am thinking of going to college at
charleston, s.caroline, i was hoping you could tell me if it is a goog
place for a college kid, I mean is there good beaches, party clubs and
girls. THANKS ALOT FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO READ THIS LETTER. Hello! I am planning to attend a friend's wedding along with my roomate
in Columbia in June, and we are planning to stay in Charleston a few days
before the wedding. We were wondering if anybody had any suggestions or
comments about nightlife there. We are single guys about 30 years old from
Seattle. Any suggestions? i've been to charleston three times, the last time i rented a house on
folly beach for a month. it is truly one of the most beautiful places I've
ever been. I'm thinking of taking a sabatical there for a year and perhaps
relocating if that year goes well. does anyone out there have any info. on
renting an oceanfront or ocean-near property for a year at a reasonable
rate. Please e-mail me at westy@soltec.net. also a friend is looking to
relocate and is in the education field. Any info on job availability in
local colleges. I just loooooooooove Charleston, South Carolina! I have been there
several times, and I cannot wait to get back!! I will write back soon to
give you more information!! I have only heard terrific things about Charleston!! I recently
graduated with a Master's Degree in Counseling and my dream is to move to
Charleston. I haven't even looked for a job anywhere else. I'm really
excited to move to this fantastic city. I only hope I find a job soon!!
5/22/97 My husband and I are going to be moving to Charleston in June
of 1998. My husband is going to be in the Dermatology Residency program at
MUSC. He has only been to Charleston once (for his residency interview)
and I have never been there. We are planning a trip there the first week
of June '97 to scout out places to live. If anyone has any suggestions on
nice areas, or areas to stay away from, etc...we are planning on either
renting a house or an apartment. Having never been there before, it's hard
to know what's good and what's not from pictures via the Internet and the
apartment guides we have received. Please email me with any comments or
suggestions at: huffk@pios.com. Thanks!! My wife and I, and maybe another couple are looking for a spacious,
somewhat private room with two doubles in a bed n breakfast or motel/hotel
that also features an in-room jacuzzi, perhaps even in the center of the
room. Even more, it's be great if this room had a view of the harbor, the
Cooper, or Ashley, or even the Atlantic. Does such a room exist in
Charleston? My fiance and I are planning to get married in September of '97. We're
looking for small chapels or gardens in the Charleston area where we can
have a small, elegant ceremony. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My wife and I are planning to move to the Charleston area. I have a
Bachelor degree and have been employed as a project admninstrator for the
past ten yeasrs on five federal grant projects at the University of Iowa.
My wife is a real estate agent for Coldwell-Banker. We realize that we
won't find employment in SC while here in Iowa, so we are planning on
making the move but would like to ask for some help. If anyone can provide
us with information on employment in the Charleston, SC area we would be
very grateful. For the coldest beer and true Charlestonian fellowship visit my ole
watering hole the WINDJAMMER,ISLE OF PALMS,TELL Malcolm or Bill I sent you
and see what TWENTY years AFTER,will getcha! We are planning on vacationing in Charleston in June. Does anyone have
any information on the Battery Carriage House bed and breakfast? We are
curious to know how it compares to other bed & breakfast's in the area in
terms of quality and price. Thank you very much! Hello y'all! *grin* I live in Summerville, SC - have been here 2 years!
I'm 18 years old...I just wanted to post my name up on the board letting
people know that if anyone wanted to know some about Summerville, you are
welcome to drop me a line via email!! Bye! Has anyone stayed at the Red Roof Inn, Mt. Pleasant? How was it? Please
send comments to sirls@tyler.net Thanks in advance. what ever happened to the primerose house on east bay street? Hello, I am considering a move as the job market for my field is less
then favorable. I am an X-ray Tech and would appreciate any help anyone
could furnish involving employment opportunities in the area as well as
typical rents for nice 1 bedroom apartments. Would greatly appreciate any
info that anyone could forward. Thanks! P.S. I'm in Buffalo, NY and its
still cold here on May17th! My nephew moved to Charleston about 12 years ago and I have gone there
every year since because I fell in love with the city. I've already been
there in Februay and April of this year. Don't miss Magnolia Plantation,
Boone Hall, and Middleton Place. They are beautiful and soooo full of
great history. The Market downtown is a super place to pick up souvenirs,
then spend the day browsing the shops (don't miss TG's) and the city
sites. Stop in at Tommy Condon's for lunch for some good Irish potatoe
chowder or She Crab Soup. Poogan's Porch has very good pecan pie. Cappy's
has good seafood on John's Island and Gilligans is a good family seafood
place. California Dreaming is wonderful and the view of the Ashley River
is magnificent. We've seen dolphins in the river as we dined. Get a window
table. May 9, l997 My girl and I live in Savannah, but love Charleston. Always
visit at Spoleto time and once or twice at other times. We know the good
restaurants, shops, etc., but have trouble finding good places to dance.
We like ball room (Cavallaro's was good, but hear it's closed again),
disco (but Juke Box is too juvenile), and C&W. Prefer informal places
where people get to know each other. Any suggestions. We would like to
meet others with similar interests. Also, is it possible to get schedules
of events at Gaillard? Our Civic Center keeps a current schedule on
Savannah Online. Couldn't Charleston do likewise? Thanks A group of 10 is wanting to come to Charleston for a weekend stay,
looked for address for chamber of commerce but didn't find, could a travel
catalogue of places to stay and resturants and historical sites be mailed
to me at FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK c/oPatricia Boone Post Office Box 130
Burnsville, NC 28714? Please send any info that would be helpful for us
hard working women to have an exciting weekend in Charleston!!!! We may
even come back and bring our families!! Though not born in Charleston, I have always considered Charleston
home. It is the most fantasic city that I have come to find in this world
as a world traveler, but there is always a connection to some foreign land
as can be seen in the stores downtown. I highly recommend Mike Calders Pub
at 288 King street for everything from a simple sandwich to an inexpensive
but absolutely delicious dinner. It is truely a family run joint as more
times than not, you will see Mike behind the bar, his father at the
register, his mom in the kitchen, and his little brother running around
bussing tables or taking orders. Mike's is a local hangout where the Lunch
Crowd is usually the same people every day. Mike has on tap a number of
imports, and American draft beers and ales. For a gourmet meal, I
recommend 82 Queen with their fabulous dinners, but it can be a bit on the
pricey side, but it is still cheaper than most of the places you can get a
much less gourmet meal in New York. Make sure you stop by Crogan's Jewl
Box on King street, and buy something for your lady at one of the only
jewelry store sin the lowcountry that is still owned by the same family
that has owned it for decades. As well as stopping by M. Dumas and Son's
mor all your clothing needs. Charleston is a great city to visit, and be
from!! ALEX MOZINGO We are planning a four-day, three night trip to Charleston with our
kids, ages 13 and 8, and another couple and their kids, ages 13 and 15, in
mid-July '97. We have reservations at the Best Western Atrium. Anyone have
any comments (good or bad) about this choice? Golf is on the agenda for
the men in the group for two mornings, but we want to spend the rest of
the time seeing the sites. I've read through the Travelogue and find a lot
mentioned about couples, but what about families? We'd like suggestions
for favorite sites, restaurants, etc. We will likely plan to see all the
standards -- Fort Sumter, etc., but maybe someone could suggest the best
spots for our first trip to this city?? Thanks! I lived in Summerville, South Carolina all of my 16yrs with my
mom,stepdad,sister and brother. We use to always go to Charleston. We
mainly went on weekends.Whether it was out to eat, go shopping or just
lookaround.Now I'm living in cold Minnesota with my dad and stepmom. My
dad lived in SC for 9 yrs I think and he couldn't beleive how much it
changed over the years.I hope everyone that goes to Charleston(or
Summerville) has a nice time. And if anyone wants to e-mail me and find
out more, fill free! As long as it isn't stupid or mean! Good Afternoon, Islanders Shag Club has opened it's doors at 15 Center St. on Folly
Beach. One short block from the ocean. Stop by and ask someone to
demonstrate the our state dance, the "Shag". Members at the clubhouse will
be happy to meet you. Call 800 SUN&SHAG (1-800-786-7424) for a schedule of
'Upcoming Events'. Good Shaggin' to ya while visiting Charleston. I am interested in campgrounds around the Charleston area, preferably
on the ocean. If you have any information that you can forward, I would
appreciate it. Thank you! 4/20/97: Planning a stop on honeymoon during October 1997. Cannot find
area under chamber of commerce to request info packages by mail, as I do
not have email. Address is 97 Valerie Drive, Appleton, WI 54915. Thank
you. Hello from Mobile, AL I am leading a group of Mobilians to Charleston
during Spoleto Festival this year. Am seeking advice on which restaurant
to select among these three for a dinner one night (it is a post
performance dinner). Here they are: Anson, Fulton Five, McCrady's. These
restaurants were selected based on several criteria which I don't really
have time to detail. Do you feel we would have a good group dining
experience at any of these? Many thanks, Gail White My husband and I are planning a trip to Charleston this year. We are
interested in finding lodging on the beach. Either hotel or condo, but
prefer to have something with kitchen. Sharon (edlaw@net-master.net)
4-17-97 I went to Charleston, South Carolina 2 times so far with my family. We
are probley going again this summer. We spent most of our time camping at
Edisto Beach. It is a nice little area, if you don't like all the people.
They also have beach houses there, which one of my good friends stayed in
on one of her trips with her family. Although those tend not to be in top
condition. But then again, what does it matter, your going to be outside
on the beach most of the time. There are a lot of docks to go fishing on
and bridges that you can go crab fishing under. That is fun! So go and
have a blast or just relax.----Ellen Fanis Surprised my honey with a surprise Honeymoon and we spent Sunday
through Monday 4/13-14 there. The only problem: Too damn short! I would love to received a map of the city of Charleston. Also would
like information on tours (bus, etc.) Thanks, Doris Muise We visited Charleston this past week (Apr 5-10) and particularly
enjoyed Magnolia Plantation. But we have a question about the minnows in
the garden pools at Magnolia. Are these 'mosquito minnows' planted to
control these pests or part of the natural fauna? Any comments would be
appreciated. Thanks, Gail hello...hello... My fiancee and I are extremely interested in
relocating to the Charleston, S.C. area. Living in Boston, she currently
manages a B. Dalton bookstore, and desires a career change. Already having
an English degree, she wishes to pursue a fast-track elementary education
degree. I will complete my physician assistant graduate degree this
September. We are set to get married in Newport, R.I. on Sept. 20. If I am
able to find a job in orthopaedics, working for an orthopaedic surgeon, we
would certainly love to reside in the Charleston area. If anyone could
possibly send information/phone numbers regarding cost of living, the job
market, recommended towns in the greater Charleston area, areas to stay
away from, etc..... ....it would be much appreciated!! Thanks for your
time... Jordy and Shawn glooser@lynx.neu.edu Please send me some Info on Charleston and Hotels that are on the beach
Thank you so very much, Rhonda Nichols Hello. My boyfriend and I are planning to relocate Charleston in July.
We will be visiting your beautiful city this weekend (April 11-13). Can
you recommend a local bar where my boyfriend will be able to watch the
boxing match on pay per view? Also, can you recommend any good restaurants
in the downtown area with vegetarian selections? Thanks so much. My fiancee and I are interested in a small, quiet ceromony. We heard
Charleston was a beautiful place. If you have any lists of wedding chapels
in the area, please let us know. 4/7/97 Has anyone ever stayed at Laurel Hill Plantation (B & B) in
McClellanville, SC? I would love to hear what you thought of it (good or
bad). Thanks. Betsy Hilton bjh@umich.edu Just returned today, Apr.3,'97, from Charleston. Our mid-week stay was
simply too short. May I recommend the two shows, Low Country Legends and
Serenade. Legends is an historical show, performed by extremely talented
locals. The playhouse is small and cozy, with lots of opportunity for
audience participation. Legends is a must see, but please see it before
going to Serenade. The latter is a glitzy, big-show production, with a New
York feel. The cast led by host Steve Teague, a magnificent operatic
baritone, is outstanding. The band is also terrific. 4/2/97 I am currently looking for summer employment and was wondering
if anyone had any information on some employment in the Charlston area.
Please e-mail me and let me know of anything you know about and how I
could receive applications for employment from these places via mail.
THANKS!!! We just got back from a five day visit on 3/31/97. We found Mint Julip
on Queen St. to be quiet and superb. Try the peach cobbler wrapped in a
praline shell!! 82 Queen provided a lovely outdoor dining experience and
Poogan's Porch was fun and delicious. Overall we thought Charleston was a
great place to visit and eat. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS FROM THE HEARTLAND OF
ILLINOIS. MY WIFE AND I ARE PLANNING A VACATION TO CHARLESTON IN THE
SPRING OF 1998. WE HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD, AND A 2 YEAR OLD THAT WILL BE
ATTENDING THE TRIP, ALSO. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A STYLISH BED AND BREAKFAST,
THAT GIVES US A TASTE OF THE SOUTH, AND CHARLESTON. A PRICE RANGE OF
$100-$150 A NIGHT WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED WHEN THINKING OF REFERRALS. WE
ARE BIG BREAKFAST EATERS, SO A PLACE WITH A NICE REPUTATION WOULD BE A
NICE ADDITION TO OUR TRIP. WE WILL BE IN TOWN OVER EASTER. IF THERE ARE
ANY EXCITING EVENTS HAPPENING OVER EASTER WEEKEND PLEASE ADVISE ME OF
THEM. WE WILL BE IN CHARLESTON THE WEEKEND OF EASTER. THANX, KEVIN HALE,
2350 E .OLIVE, DECATUR, IL. 62526 Ah Charleston - I can't believe it took me this long to find this
charming place. Wonderful Restaruants to numerous to mention and the
carriage ride is a luxury. but in March '97 I found the one unSouthern
accommodation in C'town. Very BAD experience with the CHURCH ST INN.
Fortunately everyone else in town took it personnally and were doubly nice
to us. Why is there always one bad Apple? But, don't let this deter you
from Americas version of Rome. Just avoid the Church St. INN! Please send me some Info on Charleston and Hotels that are on the beach
Thank you so very much, Rhonda Nichols Does anyone know about a cajun festival on James Island near
Charleston? We will be in Charleston to take our van to the port for shipment to
Europe April 9-11. Where is the closest campsite to the port? Thank you
for this information. Ed Dodson dodsonus@lex.infi.net home address- 3832
Cynthiana Rd. Goergetown, Ky. 40324 My fiance and I are planning a wedding/honeymoon the last part of
September. We would like to get married in intimate ceremony with just the
two of us in a romantic surrounding. Any information you can provide would
be helpful, names, numbers, etc... We live inland in South Carolina. For the last few years we have been
going to Charleston for weekends and family weeks. We love all the aspects
that people talk about on these pages. We have learned that we love to
stay at the Marina in Wild Dunes Resort. This is less expensive that most
hotels in Charleston if we are staying more than one night and very close
by car. One good Web Site is joyfulrental.com Maybe you will enjoy Resort
vacation rentals too. We visited Charleston in March 1997, and found it just beautiful! The
azaleas were in full bloom and the highs were in the 60's to 70's. If you
are into great seafood, and early American and civil war history, this is
the town for you. Our favorite restaurants were 82 Queen, Celia's Porta
Via,Sarmet's on King Street and Blossums. Be sure to avoid the Sunday
brunch at Poogan's Porch: very unimaginative. Hymans is a good place for
lunch,especially the shrimp po boy sandwiches. Be prepared for a long line
for dinner though. We had a very pleasant inexpensive dinner at Gaulart et
Maliclet on Broad Street. We had the seafood fondu: tres bon! If you are
up for an adventure, try to find "the Wreck". This is a seafood place in
Shem Creek which does not advertise. There is not even a sign in front of
the place. Be prepared for very tasty, fresh seafood in a very casual
atmosphere for killer prices. Some places we would like to try are
Carolinas and "slightly North of Broad". My girlfriend and I are planning a big move to the city of Charleston,
South Carolina. She will be graduating in December with a Bachelors degree
in Nursing from Michigan State University. I graduated over a year ago and
I have a year's experience as a sales manager for the automotive industry.
We are seeking to plant our roots and enjoy the hospitality of Charleston.
If there is anyone out there that can help either or both of us seek
employment it would be genuinely appreciated. Please E-mail me at:
mbiebuyc@concentric.net Thank You, Mark and Karen I've been reading all the wonderful comments about Charleston and think
it would be a great place to take my 2 kids (13 & 9) this June. Is it a
kid-friendly city? Has anyone stayed at the Holiday Inn Charleston
Riverview? I can get good rates there, but if it's too far from
attractions, then I'll reconsider. Thanks. I will be moving in the Isle of Palms beach area beginning around the
end of May to the end of August. I will be babysitting for a relative, and
never got to really "see the sights" when I went about 7 years ago. Please
tell me about things I could do to entertain a 6 and 10 year old.
(Boy/Girl) :-) Thanks! THANKS SO MUCH! Kaeris Visited Charleston in late Feb. Had a wonderful time. Restaurant
Million was outstanding and worth the price. Highly recommend taking
walking tour with Tommy Dew ..... he meets people at the Old Market
Steps.... very informative and interesting tours. Stayed at Indigo Inn and
staff was quite gracious and helpful. My wife and I are thinking about coming to Charleston for our 1st
anniversary the weekend of April 12. How far/what route would we take from
Salter Path, NC; approximately how long? Places to stay
fri/sat??Suggestions? My husband and two teenaged sons and will be visiting S.C. in June.
Where is a good family oriented place to stay in Charleston? Also, how far
is it from Myrtle Beach and which is better to see first? Thanks! A lady here at our office is searching for a wedding chapel or church
that she might use in South Carolina, and has asked me to contact you.
Would you be kind enough to forward a list of chapels or churches in your
area which would serve an out-of-stater? Many thanx. Mike Miller I am interested in getting a better description of the rooms and
location of the Elliott House Inn. Is the immediate area around the Inn
larger type brick buildings (3 or 4 stories) or single Charleston houses.
What are the king size rooms in the rear building like? What do the
private balconies overlook? Which floor is Better and why? Sounds like this is a wonderful place to visit. We plan a trip in
mid-May '97 four adults & one small active neice. Probably would love to
know a few interesting things for little ones to see, and a place to stay
that has a patio or balcony off the room with a view for us to relax and
visit after full days of siteseeing. Any ideas? Love to hear from you. On April 7th, my husband will be in your state for discussion with one
of your companies concerning their offer to him for employment. We are
seriously considering a major move pending his acceptance of employment. I
would appreciate any and all information forwarded to me pertaining to the
Charleston area. We prefer information concerning housing, cost of living,
crime statistics, and anything else you may choose to pass our way. Our
children are all grown, so it is just my husband and myself. He is 56, and
I am 42. Thank you for your help in advance. Sincerely, Mrs. Joyce Wagner,
Michigan We have a time-share in Surfside Beach that we go to for a week each
year. At least one day of our week is spent in Charleston. We've done the
carriage tours, which we thought were great to learn about the history.
But, we found that we wanted to walk the same route afterwards to see
every- thing in more detail. We also went on a ferry to Bull's Island in
1995. It left from Awendaw, north of Chrlstn, was fairly inexpensive, and
a lot of fun. Does this ferry service still run? It's a day trip we'd love
to do again. Thanks! we are going on vac. last full week in april , from little rock, how
much will it cost us to stay there for the week ? My wife and I are planning a 10 day trip to the Charleston area in June
of '97. Neither of us has ever been. We don't want to be tied to a
specific schedule, but want to see the sights on our own, relaxed
schedule. I am a Civil War buff, and we want to see where "The Big Chill"
was filmed nearby. Other than than, we don't know what to do. If anyone
has any ideas on what not to miss while we're there, please let us know.
Thank you. mdrinan@holli.com We will be in your area March 28 - April 7, l997. It is our first
visit. We'd love to have information sent to us as soon as possible:
Thomas C. Donnelly, POB 1285, Wilmington, Vermont 05363. There are two
people in our party (my wife and I) and we will require information on
accommodations, things to do, sites, and so forth. THANK YOU. I'm interested in having some travel information sent to a friend who's
planning to visit with their family around July 4th. They are especially
interested in any information on rentals near beach between Isle of Palms
and Kiawah. Please send them anything you can. Thanks.. Friend's address:
Bernadette Boehm, 16 Limerick Rd., Trumbull, CT 06611 My wife and I have been to Charleston many times and are in love with
the city...We hope to move to Charleston in spring '98, giving us plenty
of time to find jobs, a place to live, and to plan properly. If there is
any information on relocating to Charleston we would like to have it.
Also, any information on current job opportunities, and the best places to
live (incl, reasonable rent, good neighborhoods, school districts, etc.)
we would love to have it. Thank you in advance, Kip and Ruth Roe,
Cincinnati, OH (KIPROE@aol.com) I am looking for a place to stay in the Charleston area (either in the
city or in the Folly Beach or Isle of Palms area) for a week this summer
with a group of teenage friends. We would like a moderately priced place
(preferably something like a condo) where five teenage girls would not
feel out of place. We won't be wild; we're just looking for a place to
stay that will serve as a base to experience the beaches and downtown
Charleston. If you have any good suggestions please contact me as soon as
possible via e-mail. Thanks!! I am looking into spending a week with some other high school age
friends in the Charleston area in early June. I am open to any suggestions
for places to stay that are moderately priced where a group of teenage
girls would not feel out of place. We would need room for up to six
people. If you have any ideas please contact me via e-mail at:
jmonnier@eastman.com My husband and I are planning to be in Charleston March 22-29. Can
anyone suggest a good, economical place to stay that is close to historic
district? Thanks. Need a list of EXECUTIVE and MEDICAL headhunters. Can you help? For
Charleston,SC? My fiance and I are getting married in Charleston over Thanksgiving. We
would like to hear from hotels, florists, etc. We most likely will stay at
the Francis Marion with the bridal party. We want to arrange walking and
carriage tours for our guests for the Friday and Saturday after
Thanksgiving. We will be married that Saturday evening. Looking for GREAT
wedding cake bakers. We want something special. Any comments at all please
send me email. Thanks! March 4, 1997:I am a College of Charleston student, currently in exile
in Calgary on a student exchange. My years in Charleston have enabled me
to reccomend a few less well-known gems of the city. For restaurants, the
Horse and Cart Cafe, on King Street (between George and Wentworth), can't
be beat for those on a tight budget-the desserts are heavenly. For those
with a bit more money than the average starving student, Blossom Cafe on
East Bay Street is wonderful--try the pasta with oak-roasted chicken. And,
for splurges, 82 Queen -- it is truly the best restaurant in Charleston.
Have the lobster stuffed with crab and filet mignon, with chocolate crepes
for dessert. As for sights, everybody sees the Edmonston-Alston House, St.
Michael's Church, and the Market, but my favorite spot in the city is the
Unitarian Universalist graveyard. The best way to get there is from the
King Street entrance, a couple blocks south of Market Street. There is a
wrought-iron gate set into ! a brick doorframe, with the quo I am moving into the area in the next few weeks, and am trying to get
information on job opportunities in the Charleston area. If you could
please send me any info. you have. I am a recent college grad. with little
experience but with a degree in Marketing, so am interested in any
business opportunity. I have some experience in the resort area, so I am
interested in the hotel or resort industry. Just any information that
could be of assistance. Also anything on apartment renting, please! Thank
you, Michelle Nichols A group of us had rented a 5 bedroom/3 bath beach house at Sullivan'
Beach, Charleston, for 18 and 19 April. We have had to cancel and need to
re-rent it to get our deposit back. It sounds like a good deal, and if you
need some accommodations during that time frame, please contact me and
I'll give you more details. 3/4/97 Ginger Our family is planning a trip to Charleston in June. I have read a lot
of the messages and have not found any saying where to stay if you have
children with you. They are also very interested in going to an amusement
part while we are on vacation. Is there one close? None of us have been to
Charleston but we are looking forward to our visit. Any info will be
greatly appreciated Sara Alexin I will be visiting Charleston for the first time with my mother who is
89 in mid-March. Neither of us have ever visited the area, but both of us
love historic houses, gardens, good food, and beautiful views. I have just
spent over two hours reading all the recommendations and comments of
others who have visited or lived in the town. I am really looking forward
to our visit, plan to stay in a Bed & Breakfast (I have the brochure &
phone number to call tomorrow-Monday). We will be flying from Baltimore
and I am wondering if we should rent a car while we are there, or rely on
public transportation and tours. My mother enjoys walking short distances
(no need for a walker), but at her age it is difficult to be on her feet
for more than an hour or so. We are interested in getting married in Charleston later this month and
need to acquire information about a wedding license and wedding chapels in
the area. Also, need information on lodging in the area. Thank you, Mark
Stephan We plan to relocate to the southeast this fall (97). I I am looking of
job opportunities as a RN in mental health. We would like to be near the
ocean and will be looking for housing. I like to live near a
college/university and we will be playing golf. My husband is retired and
I am 55. Any information you can provide by email willl be appreciated.
Hello, Two couples in their thirties coming to visit April 4-12, 1997.
Staying on Edisto Island. Need information on the following; good
restaurants near Edisto, deep sea fishing tours, nightlife near Edisto, a
memorable B & B and restaurant in Charleston for April 11. We will be
golfing 3 or 4 days but want to take in the key sights and activities
since we have never been there before. Looking forward to escaping the
Minnesota winter. Sincere thanks for any suggestions. Gail I plan to visit Charleston March 9-15 97. Would you inform me by email
a list of downtown or near downtown motels/hotels.. thank you for your
time. I am trying to find a schdule for the stingrays and ticket infomation.
thanks frank b. jones question= Hi -- I'm coming to Hilton Head on Saturday (March 1)for the first time since 1983. My parents have given me a timeshare at Ocean Cove at Palmetto Dunes for weeks 8 and 9. I'm not sure I want to keep it as the maintenance fee is $1300 a year, I live in Colorado and I have a timeshare at Princeville, Kauai. What is you |
