Car Free King Street

King St., Charleston, S.C.

Outside dining, sidewalk chalk art, street music and artists, fancy hats, what more could you ask for?

Today was the first (of many I hope!) car free King St. days. Traffic was blocked between Calhoun and Queen St. so folks could amble down the middle of the road. Tom Bradford from Charleston Moves led a group of bicyclists in from Folly Beach, Anna Lassiter posed in front of her boutique Eden Boheme with an elaborate bonnet and the Sisters from the Pauline book store nibbled on their own baked goods.

It was a grand success in my opinion. Many thanks to the organizers!

Boom! The Oleanders are in bloom!

Coming St., Charleston, S.C.

Overnight. Boom. Bloom. God's gift to Charleston to make up for the giant palmetto bugs that arrive at the same time. It's a familiar sequence - spot two giant roaches, one lizard and then get distracted by the blossoms. Ohhhh....pretty!

It is a iced coffee kinda day isn't it?

If you can, please do support the "Do the Charleston" car free Sunday tomorrow from 12 - 5. King St. will be closed to traffic and you will be able to wander freely enjoying outside dining, a King St. Scavenger hunt and entertainment. Here is their Twitter feed to find out what is going on. See you there! Bring your dogs for me to pet and your children to admire.
