| Peanut Man, Charleston, S.C. |
Good job Cheryll!Cheryll Woods-Flowers: We started the fund this morning for Tony the Peanut Man at First Federal. If you would like to help Tony put his business back in business, you can stop by any First Federal...the account is "The Peanut Man." When I was with Tony this morning, he told me that he has been completely overwhelmed with the offer of assistance from so many. I told him that is our gift to have the opportunity to help HIM! When I asked First Federal to help, the stepped forward gladly. There wasn't a dry eye in the office when we were together...all of us, Susan with First Federal, Tony, and I cried. Love this community!!!!!!!
The photo above is from the MLK parade earlier this year and here is a fun little video I found of the Peanut Man in action:

I am so glad the community is stepping up to help Tony, an obvious Charleston legend. I still don't like boiled peanuts, though. I do like a little deep fried in the shell here and there, though. ;-)
I learned to like them. I really enjoy them now. The first time I tried them I thought it tasted like someone had left a bag of good peanuts sitting in a puddle of water :)
Joan- I just found this amazing blog! I am moving from Alabama to Charleston in June and I couldn't be more excited. I've never even visited there but I feel like I'm a part of it already- just reading how much everyone loves the place gives me goosebumps. Can't wait to be there!
Jenny, you'll fall in love with Charleston! Let Joan know when you get here. She'll give you lots of pointers of fun things to do, great places to see, good food to get at our restaurants. She's the go to gal!
Hi Jenny! Welcome! We do love Charleston and I suspect you will as well. I have quite a few local bloggers listed in the blogroll on the sidebar. Check them out and get to know us!
Tony looks a bit scary, honestly.... but I'm in love with the gorgeous hunks of steel on wheels just behind him! Hummanahummmanahummanah!
