Tuesday Hodge Podge


Taco Boy, Huger St., Charleston, SC

The Taco Boy opening in a most unlikely spot on Huger St. has captured attention. They have made the best and most colorful use of space. They had someone directing traffic in the large parking lot, the restaurant was packed and noisy and the patio was full. What a happy success story. Long may it last. Now I am too full to go for a walk.

In other news, I skipped out of work and across the parking lot to have lunch with our local Tea Blogger from Uniquely Tea. We talked "Blog talk" and she drank her tea iced while I had mine hot.

Charleston Magazine had an article on the tall ships as they left the Charleston Harbor. I noticed that they mentioned Coastal Yacht Charters and the same Captain that I did. Hmmmm. It turns out they made exactly the same trip at exactly the same time I did on one of their other yachts. We have almost the same pictures. Theirs. Mine.

Charleston County Parks used one of my pictures as their featured photo this month and will send me a certificate for a Gold Pass to the parks. Yipee! No more paying $7 to park at the Folly Beach pier. Not bad at all. They are still taking submissions so send them a shot.

Ending on a light note, Shoebox presents this list of:

Underwear Brands to Avoid:

* Li’l Leakies
* Newman’s Own
* Blaghoyevich
* Creep-ups!
* Elas-ticks
* Super Thong
* Johnson & Johnson mint-flavored floss thong
* Big n’ Tasty
* Fully Loaded
* Untidy Whities
* Skiddy’s
* Fruit of the Womb

See what I do when I don't go for a walk? Sad.

I saw Taco Boy for the first time about a week and a half ago and thought it was in a very strange location. I'll have to go back and check it out if it's getting a lot of business, though.

Congrats on the park pass win! I'm enjoying your blog! Glad I found you and and now "stalking" you! :-)

Cullen - Nice to see you! It was packed. Wow. Word is definitely out. I'm not abandoning Juanita Greenberg's though.
