Spring Break = Over

Oh, so near where all of the Charleston snobs have their summer estates(Flat Rock)? Been to many a S.O.B. event there as well.

Well I am home from Charleston, let's catch up...I want to move there.

I lived there 8 years...graduated C of C...I loved it! I may move back.

Hi Bsmart! I love Charleston. It is one of my favorite cities. One thing I hear about Charleston though is if you weren't born there, it's hard to fit in.

Before kids hubby and I loved to visit there. We stayed in a great bed and breakfast and wandered through a bunch of old houses-turned-museums. What an awesome town.

It is all relative...the city has changed so much, so it is not hard to fit in and have funn! If you want to belong to the old stuffy society...then you probably won't fit in...but who cares??? Charleston has so much to offer...all you have to do is have the right attitude!!!;-)

Kind of True. My mom was born there. Very thick Southern - almost English accents - my grandmother sounds like a Brit when she speaks sometimes. The native families stick to their southern roots, like they still have Debutante balls and such, which is something you do not really hear about anywhere else in the South anymore. I love the architecture, climate, and the fact that you can bike and walk most anywhere you need to be.

I was a debutante.

Maybe you have to be in that crowd to hear about them, but Debutante Balls are still all over the south east.

We even have them in Tampa. Not my thing, but there's still plenty of that stuff for those interested. Parts of Tampa are sort of "old money" and I find it very interesting since we are relative newcomers, but I had heard that Charleston is the same way to an extreme. So that was my reason for mentioning it.

I love the city though. The only thing I don't like is that the humidity can be even more oppressive than it is in Florida.

Can't believe young women still do these things.

Doug and I, on one of our adventures, lived in a wonderful old home in Chimney Rock.....almost thought of buying a bed and breakfast there. One day the Broad River flooded....powerful water like we had never seen the likes of, and that bed and breakfast ended up half in the river So back to Grayton we came of course the night Opal hit

Doug actually worked as a chef in Apple Valley.

My brother is a professor at the Citadel. He lives on James Island and has had a house on Seabrook for many years. It's gorgeous there, but the water is murky and yucky. Can't beat the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Can't believe young women still do these things.

I was an "escort" for a number of different debs at the Holiday Cotillion here in Tuscaloosa. I never understood the premise of young women being "presented." Presented? To what?

Looked to me like it was simply an announcement saying they were old enough to have sex.

And I bagged my share of debs :funn:
