My fiance and I would like to get married on the beach (we were
thinking Kiawah Island or Isle of Palms) in July or August. I would like
to have a small (appx. 40-50 ppl.) ceremony on the beach with white chairs
and tiki torches. Since my family lives in another state, I would like to
rent a beach house on the beach for us to stay and also have a small
reception. This will be a family wedding so there will be no wild
partying/drinking. If anyone has any information or suggestions for a
Kiawah Island or Isle of Palms wedding please email me!! Thank you! I am planning to vacation to charelston with my husband and children
ages 9 and 12 and am interested in finding bicycle paths around the city.
Also hotel and tour information. Locations around the beach and right in
Charelston. Thank you, I am a mature adult grad student attending C of C this summer and am
looking for a furnished studio, efficiency, or room in a nice home near
the College to sublease for May-Aug or thereabouts. Please email any
information. I am planning my wedding for May 2004 and would like to have the
wedding around Kiawah Island. Does anyone know where I could find
information on chapels in and around Kiawah and St John's Island? I visited the Isle of Palms area in Charleston in March 2002. I'm
wanting to go back for an extended stay. Does anyone know where I can find
information on rental properties in that area? Any help is greatly
appreciated. I hope someone can help...My boyfriend and I are planning a move to
Charleston, asap - we would like to stay in a short term rental
(furnished) - perhaps a studio with a kitchenette, in town. After I have
found a job, We would like to find a longterm, unfurnished, 2 bedroom
rental, in town, perhaps a fixer-upper for about $500 - $700/per month. We
have a dog (well trained and polite, but not small) and we will be
bringing him. I have done research on the internet, but most of the
housing is new and although very nice we are looking for something to fix
up and to make our own (in a rental sense). Also I would appreciate it if
someone could tell me how the job market is there - I plan to temp when I
first arrive (as I job hunt), but would really like to know if this sounds
like a plan. Thanks so much for any help I'm 26, a Northern VA native and currently live in Denver, CO. I'm planning on moving to Charleston in March 2003. I need all the help I can get. I would like some information on where to live, how to find a house to rent, a roommate to live with and best companies to go to for a job. Web searches have been disappointing. Where do the young happy people like to live? It's hard to look at rentals on-line when you have no idea what the area and street names mean. Is there a great real estate company I can look at on-line that has pictures of houses? Also, how is the economy down there after 9-11? Denver has been hit hard and jobs are impossible to find. Is it the same thing in Charleston? What are the major industries in Charleston? One more thing, what are the names of some great bars and hangouts? I would really like to get the feel of the scene when i visit in Feb. Thanks so much for any help you can provide. -- elaine geiger (geiger_elaine@hotmail.com) - Monday, September 16, 2002 at 12:43:51 I'm visiting Charleston Aug 1st - 15th 2002. from UK. Can anyone let me know where live Bluegrass Bands can be found. Many thanks (can't wait) . . . -- Phil Mann (phil_mann07@hotmail.com) - Thursday, July 11, 2002 at 09:20:19 Is there a bluegrass festival this year at Cypress Gardens, near
Charleston. SC Last year it was in April when the azaleas were in bloom.
the music in the swamp garden was great. I am 39 and been going to Charleston (Kiawah) every year since I was 25
and could not afford the more expensive places to eat at first, I found
Cappy's about 5 or 6 years ago and after trying all types of restaurants
in the Charleston area I have found Cappy's to be most consistently
excellent restaurant in the Charleston area at any price. The blackened
prime rib is outstanding as is the selection of seafood. On Johns Island
off of Maybank Hwy it is worth locating. Cappy's is very reasonably priced
compared to many of the tourist oriented places in the area and the
atmosphere is casual enough to have a great time while enjoying very good
food. I am interested in finding a reasonable but romantic place to stay for
a honeymoon (after May 26,2001). Any suggestions will be helpful. Couldn't remember the name of the small place we stopped across the
street from Studybackers. Something like Bahama Joe's, whatever. Very
close to Broadway at the Beach. Also - can't find address of Overtime
Sports cafe. Thank you. Have you ever stayed at the Battery Carriage House? Please tell me how
you liked it. Is there still such an animal? My husband has talked so much about it
when he was attending DUKE but I can't seem to find any information about
it. I'm beginning to think he's making it up! It has to do with a sister
city in Italy and is in the spring. Any information would be helpful. My husband and I along with our dear friends visited Charleston some
years back and ate a dish at a restaurant called "The Steam Pot." I'm
trying to duplicate that recipe back here in Tennessee to celebrate our
friends wedding anniversary. Any suggestions? there was a house on tv recently that used to belong to john s oneal
sometime around the civil war and it had been sold to an afro american
woman and i do not remember her name. do you know anything about this
particular house? it is supposed to have a big O initial in the gates or
ironwork and maybe the lattice . there are supposed to be the
frenchwrought iron features with an O in them? any help locating the house
would be appreciated.. shayne o'neal ford Would like some information on plantation tours in Charleston. Lodging
around town that would be close to places of interest, most of all
Plantations and prices. Thank you, Julie Q. 3DLooking for hotel or B and B for under $100/ night in April. Also,

we don't tend to put our money in our hotel rooms, and we must have a
swimming pool, we're staying at the Howard Johnson Riverfront. AAA gives
it 3 diamonds, but is there anything particularly bad about it we should
know? Also, we love it eat international and want to stay away from
variations on american/continental/California cusisine. Based on
recommendations from a "Go Carolina" website we plan on dinners at a
Spanish restaurant, Andalucia, a New Orleans style restaurant, La Tasha's
and/or an Indian place called Taste of india. Any comments? For breakfast
we might like to try at least one "southern" homestyle experience. Any
suggestions? Also are any of the coffee house breakfast spots in the
Historic District to be preferre over on another? And finally, if we do
lunches we've picked Alice's Fine Foods and Aaron's. Any thoughts on that?

We need to know if we need to leave our gear in the snow or bring it and
en- joy your subtropic weather. Thanks. 10/24/97 hi there! a good friend of mine just returned from visiting charleston.
she was kicking herself for seeing something there that she thought was
very special, and not buying it. i'm wondering if anyone can tell me, from
the few clues i have, where i might be able to get her this craft item for
a gift. she said that she saw the crafters while she was shopping in a
market, and that the baskets they were weaving were a traditional skill
past down from one generation to the next.\ she mentioned they were made
out of "water grass" or some kind of natural material that was woven into
baskets. apparently, they have some very distinct handles that seem to
divide into two just before they attach to the basket. i know this isn't
much to go by, but it seemed like if you had been there and seen them,
you'd never forget what they were like. charleston sounds like a wonderful
place to visit, but i can't right now, so any help on how i might contact
these basket weavers would be so greatly appreciated! it would make the
perfect gift to give her something she should have bought herself, didn't,
and regrets. thanks!! Hi!! Me and my husband would be more than greatful if ANYONE could give
us information about: apartments,jobs, aerobicplaces, soft ball teams.etc...

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 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 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,

former East Bay Trading Company rest. and am looking for information on

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.

nice areas, or areas to stay away from, etc...we are planning on either

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

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

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,

kids, ages 13 and 8, and another couple and their kids, ages 13 and 15, in

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! Good Afternoon, I am interested in campgrounds around the Charleston area, preferably

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

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 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.

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.

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. 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 your opinion of my selling the one in
Hilton Head (or maybe just one week of it), how much could I get for it
and who would you suggest I talk to about selling it? I would appreciate
any advice you could give me. Thank you very much, Pamela Graham I have been reviewing your "Visitor Comments" page and find it very
useful. We are planning a conference which will be held in mid May, 1997
at the Lodge Alley Inn. I have been attempting to find out if there are
any special events occurring during that month - specifically between May
15 and 19. If you can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. My husband and I are planning to relocate this spring and are seriously
considering Charleston area. We have been there several times (we vacation
at Edisto Island). I am finishing my master's degree in journalism in
April and my husband owns a furniture restoration business in Huntington,
WV. I think he plans to golf a lot if we move to Charleston. Can someone
advise me about potential employment in public relations, advertising or
communications marketing? We would also be interested to know where we
should begin looking to rent a condo. I'd love to live by a lake. Any
information would be greatly appreciated. Candy and Ed Elkins We're coming for a two day stay. Any help on where to find or call for

interested in any information that would help me with my job search. I am
having some trouble getting information about available jobs in the area.
I would appreciate any help I could get! Thank you. Can anybody tell me how far it is from Charleston to Hilton Head, SC?
Also, does Northwest Airlines fly into Charleston? Thanks much!
bison@daktel.com Editor's Note: It's about 130 miles from Charleston to Hilton Head Island. Anyone taking the trip should avoid the Interstate and take the back roads to discover some of the most beautiful sights in the Lowcountry. On May 11, 1996 I need an activity for 30 senior adults who will be
visiting Chaleston SC. Can you suggest several good tours we could take. I
need the activity to fall between the hours or 9:00am to 3:00 pm. would like information on cost of living, employment, colleges, crime
statistics, culture events and weather. I am fifty five with a monthly
pension and would like to work part time and complete college. Need help with plans to get married in Charleston. I have a friend that
is planning to get married and wants to come to Charleston to do it. Can
anyone help with a location that would be good to get married in. Anyone
that we can contact would be helpful. Was surprised to have to make a 5040000ayment well in advance for a
visit the first wek in March. Is this normal? How can I get specific
information about live theater in March? Thanks. I will be moving to Charleston in September. Can you give me some
information(or tell me where to find information) regarding schools(I have
a 4 yo, cost of living, crime rate, job out look and any other information
that one might need. Thanks. Kelly My husband and I are planning a trip in late April, early May to the
Charleston area. Where can I obtain visitor's guide, accomodatioons
director etc to help us plan our trip. Any information would be greatly
apprecciated. Editor's Note: You can contact the Charleston Visitor's Bureau at 843-853-8000 and they should have brochures available. There are several Charleston sites online (I don't recall immediately if any offer brochures) which may help in planning. Using City Net or Yahoo can help you locate these other sites. I have lived in Boston all of my life. I need a change. It's getting
boring and I am thinking about relocating to Charleston,SC. Any
suggestions as to how I go about finding helpful information in this
department? i.e. where to live, job info., cost of living, activities,
etc. I have heard all but wonderful things about Charleston. I am looking
to move in September 1996 Please contact via email if anyone has some
helpful info. Thanks! We are planning to go to the Carolinas during the second week of March.
How is the weather? We like antiques. We like early American history. We
also like sightseeing. I have found the Sullivan Staffing Agency in Charleston on the
Internet. Before I submit information to them, I wanted to know if they
are a reputable emplyment agency. Four of us will be visiting Charleston in September of this year. Does
anyone have suggestions on where to stay (not too expensive). And, the
best place to eat with something for everyones taste. Also, we are
thinking of going to Myrtle Beach. Is it worth the drive? Any help will be
appreciated. My husband and I will be visiting for a long weekend in early
March.While he's off golfing, I'd like to indulge in my own relaxation -
beauty services a spa or salon would offer as a half day package. What I
have in mind are a facial, massage, manicure/pedicure services. We'll be
on Kiawah Island. Any suggestions? I plan to be in Charleston during the week of March 10 - 16 and I like
to play NTN trivia in the evenings. Are there any establishments in the
down town (old) area of Charleston that offer this service? I was in
Charleston during the summer of 1985 and I had never experienced such
humidity before. Such was the appeal of the city that I still enjoyed
myself under such circumstances. I have returned. My wife, myself and two other couples are about to spend three weeks in
the Charleston area to get away from the Canadian winter for a while. We
have never been in Charleston before and are delighted with all the
information available on the WWW but I can't find any information about
riding stables. The three guys are keen golfers, the wives are not! But
they would like to do some horseback riding while the golfers sample the
fine courses in the area. Can you give us some information about where to
go for this type of recreation. Many Thanks. Keep up the good work. Editor's Note:
HI! About 5 of my friends and I are looking forward to Spring Break
from our college studies. We are hoping to stay in the Charleston area
from April 3-6. We are looking for a condo-type place somewhere near the
beach, hopefully in the college student's price range :). Does anybody
have any good ideas that they can share??? I would really appreciate it!!!
Hello, I'm just wondering what "McCradys" is. sounds like a restaurant.
Why don't you say hello to them from me. There isn't many McCradys around
my parts of the world! Editor's Note:
I was planning a trip to Charleston in mid September of this year and
was wondering what kind of weather I could expect. Also I would like to
stay on the beach. It has been about eight years since I have been there
and was wondering if there were any new hotels on the beach (isle of palms
area). I remember a Holiday Inn at Folly Beach but that is the only one I
can think of. One last thing, can you suggest some seafood restaraunts and
some things to do at night? My wife and I are planning 2 weeks in Charleston May 96. I would like
to know if anyone would be willing to send us the Sunday supplement of
your major newspapers Realestate section. Charleston is one of the top
candidates for us to relocate to when I finally decide (probably 2 yrs
away). I am in the unique position that where ever I decide to move to I
can take my company office with me. Any native Charlestonian who would
like to show us around ?? thanks, rgrasser@vivanet.com Are there special events for July 4, 1996? My wife and I are planning to visit Charleston about mid March. I have
some questions: (1) What is the normal weather at that time of the year?
(2) Does the Editor or Moderator refer requests for brochures to the local
Visitors and Convention Bureau. If so, I would like some material. Thank
you. I enjoyed my visit to your site. I am looking for a college in the Charleston area because I would like
to relocate. I am seeking a BA in criminal justice, justice studues, law
enforement, criminalistics, or forensic science. If anyone can help me I
would greatly appreciate it. I want to attend this year's Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in
February. I would like to know when it is scheduled to run, where I get
tickets, how much is the cost, and all other information that would make
my visit to this show a memorable one. I am told that this is truly an
outstanding event. I look forward to hearing from you. My family is planning a visit to the Edisto Island area in mid April.
We are interested in renting a beach house that accomadaes 12 persons. If
anyone has any information or contacts with a rental agent, please let me
know. Thanks. I would to travel down to Charleston during school break in mid March.
Would you be able to tell me what the weather is usually like then? I know
that no can say for sure but what is normal? Hi! I have not yet visited Charleston but am planning to this month
(November). I may be moving there due to job location. If anyone from
Charleston could send me a message about nightlife i.e. live music I would
appreciate it. I am hoping that acoustic guitar type of entertainment is
popular. Thanks. Several years ago my wife and I had the very good fortune of visiting
Charleston in February during the Blues Festival. All the complimentary
things said about the people of Charleston we found to be true. Strangers
were very pleasant and helpful. I would say they had class. The
accomodations and resturants were top rate. My one problem. I have been
trying to learn since then the date of the Blues Festival in Charleston. I
was in February the year we were there. I would really like to plan a
return trip when I learn the date for 1996. I have called on the phone,
and written but with no response. If possible I would really appreciate an
email reply. In any case I can say that a Trip to Charleston is one worth
taking. Thank You I'm French and living in Paris. I've often heard of Charleston but at
the moment I've not yet visited it. But me and my family have to, one
first good reason being that we seem to have some cousins there, from the
beginning of the 19th century. Any Noisette around ?
