Corner Stores - Burbages

Burbages, Charleston, S.C.

It's good to see Burbage's flourishing after the former owner retired after 67 years of business. We don't have too many attractive and successful corner stores and they are such treasures. Link to P & C article on the history of this particular store.

So many stores are impersonal chain convenience stores. I wish we had more of these around. Looking back on past entries, I have a few on Corner Stores of Charleston.

Have a good day kids! I am hitting the road.

Shades of Green

Burbage's Grocery Store, Broad St., Charleston, S.C.

Shades of green! Burbage's Grocery Store on Broad St. consistently wins the Best Corner Store award from the Charleston City Paper. I did a series on Charleston's corner stores a few years ago. It's probably time to visit them all again. Any favorites I should feature?

I got to town in time to drop off donations at the American Heart Association on Kings St. so put on my walking shoes and just kept on going. It's lovely outside. What a relief after months of heat.
