Spend another wonderful vacation in Charleston and at Wild Dunes
Resort. Our walking tour this year took us thru several small alley's and
streets (Bedon and Tradd) in Charleston. Wonderful gardens. Relaxed on a
bench in the park by the pineapple fountain before continuing our walk to
82 Queen for lunch. My husband said the best She Crab soup and an
excellent crab BLT. Out on Shem Creek, the Trawler is now Big Game Grill.
We had dinner at the WatersEdge. The boats were coming in from the fishing
trips and the catch for the fishermen was huge. The WatersEdge has the
best Key Lime pie in the world. For a side trip, Summersville is not far
and there are many lovely shops and restaurants in the historic district.
Next yr we have to stay longer. Looking for weather predictions in Charleston, So Carolina for week of
March 28m 2005 I am interested in a completely furnished home or apartment for 3
months begining Apri1 1 thru June 30, 2005 and can also go longer if the
price is fair. Two or three bed room accomodation. The unit needs to be
completely furnished with at least 2 bathrooms. Hi my name is Kate and I am a 21 year old college student. I am
planning on living in charleston this summer but was wondering if anyone
had any ideas regarding a fun summer job. I love working with people. I
have many years of experience waitressing, cocktailing and some bartending
experience. I was hoping to find a fun job that would make me the most
cash. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I am not that familiar
with the area. I'm looking for an apartment to rent preferably in or around downtown
Charleston for the month of February, 2005, for purposes of tourism. We
might consider outlying area if necessary. 2 adults no pets. References.
Any suggestions out there? Last year we stayed in Savannah and there are
lots of apartments so why not Charleston? Thanks. Tommo Want info on sunset 2 hour shagging cruise with dinner advertised on

weatherunderground.com. This past May was our 15th trip to the Charleston area. We usually
spend a day or two in Charleston and then head out to the beach(Wild DUnes).
Each visit to Charleston is exciting. We take our own walking tour down
Meeting St and Church Streets. We have stayed at the Meeting St Inn and
find it lovely and very centrally located. One year we took the ghost tour
and the harbor tour. We have taken so many carriage rides that I think we
could conduct our own tours. My favorite area is the homes on Rainbow row.
Restaurants we have enjoyed are: 82 Queen, Blossoms, Bocci's, T-Bonz. Shem
Creek also has many wonderful restaurants. We are already booked for our
vacation next May, 2004 and are planning a side trip to Summerville. Can anyone tell me if they have gone on the dolphin tour? i love
charleston and love staying on isle of palm. last time at the end of our

Thanks! Have a great day! :) Columbia & Duke University students seeking reasonably priced, 2-3
bedroom apartment to share for summer. Preferably near cofc campus. If you
can help in any way please contact asap. Hi there Nelda, I saw your post on the travelogue and thought I'd share
some thoughts with you. I used to live in Charleston and will be going
back there in April. If this is your first visit I know you'll have a
great time. It is hot and humid at that time of year but if you're from
Texas you should be used to it. I am now living in Spokane Wash. and we
just don't get the humidity here. Anyway there are so many things to see
and do. The Charleston Museum is great. Lots of wonderful exhibits. If you
are an art lover, the Gibbes art gallery is awesome. Just walking down by
the battery is a site to see and you could spend days walking and just
soaking up the beautiful homes. The aquarium is wonderful. I could watch
the swimming otters for days! They are so funny. There is a web site
called "Charleston Multimedia Project" and you will just be amazed at all
the beautiful homes to see. There is so much history in Charleston that
you can get overwhelmed, so get a plan and then scope out your itinerary.
The exchange & provost building is neat with lots of pre revolutionary
history. If you like, you can go to the visitors center and get a heritage
pass. You can see 6 sites, the Nat. Russell house, Middleton place
plantation, aiken rhett house, drayton hall plantation, edmondston alston
house and gibbes art museum. These are the ones I recommend because they
are an excellent assortment/overview of Charleston and its history. Check
out Charleston Multimedia Project and also check out Cuisine of
Charleston.com. Excellent information about Chas. restaurants. I hope this
helps and please keep my email as I'd love to know how your visit goes. I
will be there 2nd week of April so I'll keep you posted. Be prepared for a
wonderful time! Sincerely, Susan C.Silva of Spokane Wash. I live at Folly Beach South Carolina and have a gift basket business
specializing in low country baskets from welcome to folly beach, a taste
of Charleston, Charleston crab baskets and shag baskets, always looking
for different items from Charleston to put in basket 843-270-4422 Hi, Just as many others have posted, I'm thinking of moving to
Charleston in the next year, and was looking for some general feedback as
to living there. Specifically: the heat/humidity, people-friendly, type of
work available (teaching, computers/technical), cost of living. thanks
doug As one who grew up in Charleston, I have been amazed for years that
people stand in long lines to wait for a table at Hyman's Seafood. It's
just not good. If you want a great meal, try Penninsula Grill, Slightly
North of Broad, Boathouse (Isle of Palms location), Carolina's, Cypress,
or McCrady's. My wife and I visited Charleston for the 4th time the weekend of the
4th of October 2002.....had a lovely time again....stayed at the phoebe
pember house on the outskirts of historic downtown.....I would not
recommend it....the place was not too bad but was just too far out we
felt....also very expensive for what we received...long walk back into the
scenic areas of historic Charleston.....we went to hymans seafood again as
we usually do and we were tremendously disappointed....very very
loud.....much louder than i remember in previous encounters.....food was a
6 on a scale of 1-10....we spoke with some locals a couple of days later
and they stated hymans is really on the way downhill....they recommended
a.w. shucks and "hanks" which is fairly new in town.....had a great meal
one evening at magnolias....fantastic....great atmosphere and the food was
reasonably priced.....i highly recommend the flank steak.....15 dollars
and delicious.....took a ghost tour and really enjoyed it....weather was
oppressively hot during our stay....we plan to go later in the year next
time....cheaper rates and better weather.....we did find a place where we
are going to look into staying next time.....the anchorage inn was
extremely nice and is very new and reasonably priced......it sits right in
the middle of everything and is 30 steps from the water.......but for
shear beauty a walk around the town at night is just unbelievable..... Hey People! Just wanted to say that as we speak I'm on vacation in
Charleston for the 3rd time in the last 3 years. I just can't get enough
of this place! Thanks to the great directions I found on this website, I
actually found The Wreck yesterday--I didn't get to eat though because
they are not open for lunch on week days. My family and I are planning to
go back on Friday night for dinner and I'll let everyone know how it was,
I can't wait to try this place out, and by the way WOW the building really
is a WRECK of a place....heeheehee.... Well, happy vacationing! Cynthia
Wright Just returned from Savannah and Charleston and I LOVE THE SOUTH! I want
to return and see all that I missed. I recommend the area to all. Visted
Boone Hall (an many other places) and was told move 'North and South'
filmed at Boone Hall (exterior shots). Also another movie but can't
remember the name. This movie starred an African-American (?). Scenes also
in house on South Battery which we visted on House and Garden Tour. Can
you please tell me the name of the movie? Thank you Mary Sicard my wife and i have 4 kids. we go to charleston every year from up north
for vacation. folly beach is just outside of chastn it has very affordable
beach houes or rent 400- 1500 wk nice quiet but close to everything.
perfect family vacation. lots of parks and childrens places and lots of
shops for the wife. beer and beach for me Charleston is one of the most interesting places in the country. So
much history and the resturants are to die for. The walk down the
"Battery" is one of the best views of the harbor and the park there is so
peaceful. The houses around the battery are incredable. "Rainbow Row, #2
Meeting St., The John Ash Jr.House, Edmonston/Alston House. To think this
beautiful city was destroyed by fire, flood, hericane, and war is just
unbelieveable. The shopping is good too. My favorite place to shop was the
"Historic City Market". The vendors are very informative. Need to know
anything about the city just ask. Found a localy crafted collectable that
is sold around the country. "Shelia's" are replacas of famous and
historical homes and buildings around Charleston and the country. The
vendor there is Ron. He has a handle on the history of Charleston. Lots of
good stories.(watch out for the parking meters around the market. It seems
the city is out to make a buck or two from anyone and
everyone.)(www.shelia's.com) I was a little disapointed in seeing that the
building in front of the market was in a state of bad decay. Is the city
going to let it fall down? The Market is a must see. Had a fabulous holiday in Charleston Jan 20-28, 1998. The best day was
one night when there was a heavy mist and we walked all of the historic
district from Meeting St over to the Battery and up Church street.So if
there is a fog at night, do the walk. It's incredible. Also discovered the
best turkey sandwich in the world at the Coffee Gallery on King St. Also
loved the people, there is nothing to compare to Southern hospitality. 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. 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........... 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. 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. 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 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. 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!!
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! 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. 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! 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! 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! 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 wife found a "Charleston bracelet" at the Money Man Pawn shop. What
a unique idea. I would just like to let everyone know that AirTran Airways begins
service to Charleston from Orlando On the 27th of February 1997. AirTran
Orlandos Home Town Airline 1-800-AIRTRAN I just returned from a wonderful week in Charleston. I go there several
times a year to visit family & there is always something different to do.
Weather was warm (50-70 degrees), great for January. Things I did this
trip: Gibbes Art Museum on Meeting St., The Market on Market St (lots of
touristy items), for sweetgrass baskets I think the best prices are with
the ladies at St. Michael's Church on Broad & Meeting, shopping along King
St & at Charleston Place, sunrise at the battery & White Point Gardens.
There's a ton of stuff to do, for adults & children. Where else can you
climb on a civil war cannon? Great Eats: Southend Brewery, try the ribs on
East Bay St; The Mill on Market St, once seated they bring you fresh
bread, olive oil, & parmesan cheese; Papillon's on Market St, awesome
pizza buffet & Italian food, it used to be a church; Ronnie's on Shem
Creek in Mt Pleasant. Don't forget Spoleto festival is Memorial weekend to
2nd week of June. It's a 2 week cultural festival. That's my next trip
home to Charleston. Last year I went to hear the Charleston Symphony's
free concert on the Custom House Steps. If anyone needs any info I'm
always willing to help & give ideas. Enjoy the "Holy City" 2/1/97
Stephanie "russg@enter.net" During the past summer, my friend and I stopped in Charleston for one
day. And in that one day, I fell in love with the city of Charleston. It
felt like I had come home. You know how something just feels right? Well,
based on that whole experience I have decided to put Charleston at the top
of the list for places to live after I graduate from Penn State this
August. Hopefully, I'll get a chance this Spring Break or summer to come
down and explore the city to its fullest(I'll be sure to use some of these
comments as my guide). I would appreciate it if someone could send me the
telephone number of one of Charleston's newspapers or any job leads.
Thanks so much. Take care ya'll :) Lisa Jakovac Charleston is a fantastic place to spend your summer vaction. The
beaches are very clean and beautiful and the downtown area is filled with
fantastic homes. The city also offers numerous restaurants that specialize
in every kind of seafood immaginable....go there....you wont reget it. I am a resident of Piedmont, SC, and feel that there is no finer city
in the world than Charleston. My husband and I visit each year during the
holidays to eat our way through as many of wonderful restaurants as we
can. We plan to be spending December 29 & 30, 1996 in this fair city. My husband and I visited Charleston in May of this yr (96) and
absolutely loved it! We're both northerners, sick of cold weather & high
cost of living, so we're planning on moving next October or November. I'm
a medical secretary and plan to apply to Medical University of South
Carolina in Charleston. We looked at some apts in West Ashley - Indigo
Creek & Moss Creek, and plan to live in either one of them. I'd love to
talk to someone who lives in Charleston currently to give me an insiders
point of view. Ooh, and for good eats, we really liked The Mill. I am a native Charlestonian who graduated from the College of
Charleston in 92. I now live in San Francisco. For those interested in
visiting Charleson, I would recommend eating at Carolina's Restaraunt,
McCrady's Restaraunt or Hymens Seafood. For nightlife, I would recommend
Arizona's Bar and Grill, Southend Brewery and Wild Wing Cafe. For the best
music check out Cumberlands and The Music Farm. You can't go wrong
visiting Charleston. It has the best food anywhere in the world
(especially seafood) and the friendliest people around. For those
interested in the College of Charleston. All I can say is what a blast! Go
to class not the beach! Enjoy your stay. My husband and I have gone to Charleston for the past two years. It is
Great! I read, from one of your letters that wassubmitted, to go to the
East Bay Trading Co. Restaurant --it is closed. It was an excellent place
to eat! Shopping-- anything you can imagine. I have a question hopefully
someone out there can answer...There is a shop that if you stand at the
back end of the marketplace and look to your left it sits there and across
the street sits more shops. The shop is a rather large building for
vendors, so the variety in there is a lot. Anyone know the name???? I
found something in there that I wanted to buy, but I didn't and now I
could kick myself. If you could help out I would appreciate it. The Housing and Design group from Tennessee Technological University is
planning a study tour of Charleston over Spring Break, the week of March
10th 1997. We are interested in touring plantation homes, etc. We would
like information on condominiums, motels, hotels, eating, parking, etc.
The group will consist of 10 to 20 people. Please send information to 46
E. 1st St., Apt. A, Cookeville, TN 38501. Thank You Very Much!!! Hello Charleston!! I've just read some of the messages left by
travellers to your area and got slightly nostalgic and wished I could hop
on the next flight South. In May of 1993, my husband & I spent our
honeymoon week in Charleston. What a fantastic place!! Tons of history and
outstanding architecture. Our week was over way too soon. Too much time
has passed for me to remember all the places we ate at, but there is one
place in particular I would love to have the address to as I want to
request a recipe from the chef. So, if anyone out there can help out, I'd
really appreciate it. The restaurant is called the Moultrie Tavern, down
near the waterfront. I sure hope someone will help out! Can't wait to
visit your charming city again. Thanks!! the charleston chamber of commerce is located at
http://www.charlestonchamber.net/content.asp?catID=876 and does have relocation information
there. hope that helps! What a great way to do business. I found a bed and breakfast and made
my tee time at Dunes West all from using your web site. Thanks for making
my upcoming visit to Charleston so easy. Brent Sansbury, Lexington,S.C.,
BSans123@aol.com Comprehesive information on current events related to the American
Civil War in and around Charleston can be found at our website below. We
have an updated events calander, a list of Civil War sites open to the
public and comprehensive information on actions and battles around
Charleston. URL: http://www.awod.com/gallery/probono/cwchas/ I'm thinking of relocating. Does anyone know how much of a need there
is for computer consultants in the aea? I'll be in Charleston at the very
end of July 96. Anything special going on? We are considering relocating to the Charleston area and it would be
nice if your web site offered the email address for the Chamber of
Commerce. We are looking for demographic information such as schools, cost
of living, housing, employment, etc. Please contact us via email for home
address information to send a relocation packet from the local Chamber.
Thank you :) If you are looking for brew pubs in this city, try The Market Street
Mill or Southend Brewery. Both are new additions since last
Spring. You're welcome :) Does Charleston have any brew pubs yet? I think it would be great if
there are brew pubs and that category was added to your web-site! My wife and I are planning on visiting Charleston in early April of
1997 with another couple from Pennsylvania. We are debating on whether on
spending the week at a Bed and Breakfast or renting some type of a condo.
Which would you recommend? My wife and I are planning a trip to Charleston in early June. We have
looked forward to a visit of your town. We would like more information
about where to go,where to stay and things that we should't miss while
there. I will be travelling to Charleston in October for my Honeymoon. Does
anyone out there know where some quiet romantic strolls might take place?
How about Romantic/ Elegant Dining spots? I'll be there for four days, are
there any other things to do around the area except for what is on the
"Points of Interest" page? Wy wife-to-be and I are spending our honeymoon in Charleston (3 days at
Seabrook, 4 days at the Vendue Inn B&B) June 30th - July 7th. We would
like to know of any events in the area during this time, especially for
the 4th! However, your "Calendar of Events" only goes through June. Please
forward any info - thanks. Comments have two sections, travel & relocate: Relocate: I'm moving there in June. Want to get 5 year old into private
kindergarten. Any suggestions? Will consider good public schools, any
recommendations? Heard Belle Hall is excellent, please confirm...hoping to
live in Mt. Pleasant area. If you have a 4 br house for rent around
$1000/mo, let me know. Coast Guard officer w/family, two small children,
no pets, no smoking, excellent references from local residents. Will
consider lease option but have to sell house in MD first. Thanks. I'm coming to Charleston on Aug. 14, 15, 16 and 17, during which time
my son will be attending orientation at the College of Charleston. I am
looking for economic accomodations for this time. All I need is a room
with twin beds and access to a bathroom. Also, my car will be overloaded
with my sons' personal belongings, so I would like to be near public
transportation. I would appreciate any information you can give me. Thank
You! Judy Jannicelli
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. 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. 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:
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'm a native Charlestonian who has relocated to Los Angeles. I can't
tell you how wonderful Charleston is! There's beaches everywhere, the best
seafood in the whole world!!! And the friendliest people I've ever
encountered! I didn't really appreciate it until I was gone! I still visit
at least once a year and I plan on moving back once I retire! 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 To the People of Charleston: As a private citizen of Niceville, Florida (Ft. Walton -panhandle
area-) I would like to personally thank the citizens of Charleston for
their donations of time, food, etc in our time of 'rebuilding' after
Hurricane Opal...I noticed a dump truck with the Charleston city seal on
it, and just wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks, not only from me, but
from others that you all have helped, too. Once again, thanks!! 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 ?
