John C. Calhoun, Marion Square, Charleston, S.C. |
Happy me! There is finally work being done on the building at Calhoun & King. It s one of the busiest corners in town and has been an empty eyesore for years. It is going to make so much difference when it is done and there is a hotel where the old library used to be. Progress is better than an abandoned shell.
Okay, kids. I just rowed across my living room for half an hour. Time to hit the recliner. I've been watching Top of the Lake. When you stream an entire season of a show on Netflix, it is like eating candy, you keep sneaking in just one more episode.

The blossoms look beautiful!
That's wild - the statue walking on tops of trees.... and we just finished watching "Top of the Lake" - it's GREAT! Enjoy!
I've never heard of Top of the Lake. Perhaps I should investigate.
Is that a tabebuia tree that John C. Calhoun is hanging out in?
Isn't it exciting when work is being done on a building? Whenever that happens around here, my husband and I have a contest as to who can find out faster what's going into the building. We're always very disappointed when it's an auto parts store. Or a bank.
Things are starting to pop around here. It was chilly last night but usually March turns us into a garden.
I think I only have one more to watch...hate to see a good series end and yet I charge through them.
It is set in New Zealand. That is almost as interesting as the story line.
Right...and then I thump my forehead for not taking a good picture of the "before" shot.
That year of construction we walked down King Street many times during our visit. We Discovered a Greek Sandwich shop Pita something or other which is closed, gone I suppose, as the construction corridor was enough to scare away customers. But that restaurant's Lemon Chicken Soup was well remembered. I think they have another location not downtown. Anyway we we sorry to see the empty storefront when we returned later that year in the fall. Normandy Farms was a bright spot that warm day. The iced coffee hit the spot and then discovering the bench in tranquil garden area at the Dock Street Theater was a welcome respite. So many interesting interiors, The Charleston Library Society sells canvas book totes I much rather purchase a tote bag then an unflattering T-shirt from someplace as a souvenir.
