some pics from spring break. the weather wasn't very cooperative, except for the day i went to the beach, and ain't no way i'm taking my new digi on the sand.

so, on with the pics, of the downtown area, and not just the uber-touristy over-gentrified part.

i love this, The People's Office Building (so commie)

blond?

or brunnette?

"AH HATE HIPPIES!!!" so ironic that the hippiefest episode of South Park was on this week, and it came true...sorta.

it was pathetic because...other than the drums, no other live music...BUT A HIPPIE DJ!!! ugh.

infill!!!

and now, for pics from the less-touristy parts by downtown; IMO, far more interesting - cheaper eats; indier music shops, a comic book store, some pawn shops...plus there's grit and potential.

part 2 to come; lots of old houses, The Battery, rowhouses, a beach town 'burb, bridges and more.

Great pics, LSyd. I don't ever remember seeing the People's Office Building in all of my trips to Charleston. I've probably been there 50 or 100 times in my life and I don't ever remember that building. What street is it on?

 

[LSyd]

thanks you two. it's on Broad street, sort of off of the battery.
