Bogard St., Charleston, SC
I'm feverish, congested, curled up in the corner of my couch and babbling to myself this evening.
The Trattoria Lucca may be a delicious and happy (noisy) treat for Bogard St. but couldn't they have given me the Patio Famous Tea Room sign when they renovated? It was a favorite thing on Bogard along with the little lady with the statue garden and Snookies Little Sweet Shop.
Waldo led me to Matt Alber. Wow.
According to a commenter (thank you) the cool piece of graffiti from Trapman St. wasn't written by an despondent artist in love but is a fragment of a Phish lyric. It isn't quite the same looking at the enlargement on my wall now.
I spoke your name for many days
Pronouncing it in several ways
And moving letters all around
And when you heard the end result
I told you it was not my fault
If you were here more of the day
It wouldn't twist around that way .
Repack your bags. There is no more smoking in Bhutan.
What language does your dog speak?
Okay. I'm going to take a little pre-bed nap now. Aaachoo. Y'all turn the lights out.
Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kit.
ReplyDeletelove the old Patio Famous shot! excellent!
ReplyDeleteI am updating my Navy Yard shots today, and will be adding more shots soon...thanks.
I love this comparison. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteYou need tea. Lots of it. And probably at a new tearoom. I replied on my blog to your question about checking out the new tea room. Get well soon so we can go check it out!
ReplyDeleteI guess it fits with its surroundings, but isn't nearly as photogenic now.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better today, Joan.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and a fellow Canadian at that. This seems like a great place for a daily chuckle. I'll be back! Hope you're on the mend.
ReplyDeleteAntjas: Welcome :) I've been collecting heart images and love cemeteries so liked your picture very much
ReplyDeleteDoug: Glad you came by, it led me back to discover your good news.
Denise: Tea it is! Got your email. Let's check the place out some afternoon. I will work on details tomorrow.
KenMac: Glad ya came back!
Jarart: Thanks. I told everyone I was on Isolation Precautions and they could enter my office at their own risk :)
ReplyDeletere: The graffiti "I spoke your name for many days." and your reaction, "I always pictured a love torn scribbler."
ReplyDeleteJust because a sentiment is borrowed doesn't make it any less heartfelt. The majority of folks are like hermit crabs and decorate their lives with such borrowings.
Anon: Of course you are right. It must have had special meaning to him/her. Did you do it? ;)
ReplyDeleteI worked on the renovation and got the sign. It's proudly displayed in my studio apartment. Sorry bro.

Did you! I am seriously jealous.

I worked on the renovation and the sign is now currently proudly displayed in my studio apartment downtown. Sorry, but I don't think any amount of money would get it off my wall.

Yes, I'll let you know if I ever decide to let it go. Snookie's never had a physical sign, it was painted on the windows, but if it did I would've tried to get that as well. I did offer to buy the sign from Ernie's on Spring Street between Saint Philip and Coming Street one afternoon when I met the new owner, but it just disappeared one day. Unfortunately, somebody probably just stole that one. :((
