Second Sunday on King St.

Second Sunday, King St., Charleston, S.C.

I hope business owners are reaping the benefits of Second Sunday on King St. because it was jammed packed! I haven't walked through during the actual event for quite awhile and I was amazed. It was a hustle and bustle of activity.

I laugh at myself because I catch myself dodging crowds on a busy sidewalk when the whole point of the event is that automobiles are blocked so you are free to walk in the street. There were so many dogs on display by proud owners it could have been promoted as a dog walking event. Lots of sidewalk dining since the weather is heavenly at the moment and some great street musicians.

On the second Sunday of every month, they close King St. to traffic so we can walk freely down the middle of the street. I still have to keep reminding myself to get off the sidewalk and enjoy the freedom. You can keep up with future planned events here: Second Sunday on King.  Since I was walking with two gentlemen who were starving, we walked through all the festivities and enjoyed lunch at Bull St. Gourmet.

There was a nice crowd out today. Many thanks to the folks who coordinate this event and to all the entertainers and artists.

Church Photo in Lieu of Attendance - St. Johns Episcopal

Anson St., Charleston, S.C.

Charleston looks so festive in her holiday wear it is time to add to the Church Photo in Lieu of Attendance series. I just googled back to discover I posted almost exactly the same shot of this St. John's Reformed  Episcopal Chapel at this time of year in 2008.

I just walked to the Meeting St. Piggly Wiggly store to get ingredients for Curried Zucchini soup. Yum. It is breezy, chilly enough to be a perfect soup day. 

This afternoon is the day that they block traffic from King St. and it looks like they have all kinds of festive things going on. Check out the Second Sunday on King blog for the schedule of events.See you there!
