Bowens Island Oyster Roast

Oysters at Bowens Island, Charleston, S.C.
There are work related events and then there are work related events. When a friend invited me to go to an oyster roast at Bowens Island supporting the Lowcountry Senior Center yesterday afternoon I said, "Yes, I can!" It is supposed to be cool and crisp outside for an oyster roast and we were right on the money.

I hadn't been out to Bowens Island for a while and wanted to see what they had done with the place since the fire. Sadly most of the old graffiti burned down but the oyster room is intact (not that you can tell the difference) and people are quickly writing on all the walls to return it to the original condition.

  1. Writing on the walls is allowed?

    1. Yes, it is covered with scribbles. That was one of the great losses when they had a fire, people liked going back to visit their old inscriptions.
