New Link - Charleston Daily Photo

Thanks to the Charleston City Paper's 2009 "Best of" Awards we found a new link that posts a daily Charleston photo. I've posted a link to it on our blog with our Favorite Websites so we can check it frequently. I also found this on there and it made me smile, enjoy . . .



You know you are from Charleston, S.C. if....

The smell of a marsh makes you homesick.

You eat rice with every meal.

You don't understand cities that have to keep electing new mayors.

You've mowed your lawn on Christmas.

You've killed a cockroach with your bare hand.

Unless a cockroach is bigger than your hand, it's just a baby - no big deal.

The construction signs say "Let 'Em Work, Let 'Em Live"

You've seriously considered climbing on top of the Coburg Cow to take a picture.

You have a picture of the Coburg Cow decorated for Christmas.

It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.

You get excited when you see a guy selling boiled peanuts out the back of a pickup.

You know not to pick up the orange "Half Rubbers with flags" that are found in the puddles on downtown streets.

People actually grow and eat okra.

You know exactly when high tide is - even if you don't own a boat.

You've driven over all the Cooper River Bridges.

You have tripped over the bricks downtown.

The SC Aquarium is boring to you because you went there too many times.

You hold the door behind you for the next person.

You know that there is an island near Edisto called "monkey island" and that there are real monkeys on it.

You know not to go down Harbor View Road at 5 o'clock

School is cancelled for it being too cold.

You love going to watch the fireworks on July 4th and New Years.

You know what the washout is.

You break out your warmest winter coat when it gets below 60 degrees.

A robbery or a fire downtown reported on the news is no new thing.

You know what a Piggly Wiggly is and you frequently shop there.

You know that high tide and downtown don’t mix.

You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit is "a little warm."

A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola or pop ... it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. For example: "What kinda coke you want?"

Sweet tea is appropriate for all meals.

Oyster Roasts happen every weekend during fall and winter.

You wear sandals in the winter.

You hate it when all of the swings are taken at the Water Front Park.

When the draw bridges are up and you're stuck in traffic you simply think "What a wonderful place to live!"


Yours?
