I just got into town today and I am loving it! I got a room at the Harbour View hotel on the water over looking the harbour (not from my room because I didn't want to spend the extra $50, but the roof top deck is free! I had two of the best meals I've ever had. Pan fried chicken livers with country ham and madiera sauce at Magnolia's for lunch ($10) and one dozen local oysters for $7 with a home brewed brown ale for $2.50 at Pearlz as a snack. I love this town. Great people, great food and a lot of Civil War history. I would highly reccomend it based on my 8 hours in town.
FQ13 who is going to Rue De Jean (a French Bistro that remembers that Bistro means cheap home style cooking) for bunny with mustard sauce for $15 tonight, and hopes to see the CSA Hunnley tommorow.

I watched the Hunnely recovery video on local tv the other day. And they talked about it in my kids school (she came home and told me all about what they learned). I thought they said their only displaying a replica, as the original is to deteriorated for public display?
Either way it should be a cool experience.
If you pay an extra $100 bucks you can have a picture of it on you SC license plate (LITTLE much!). I got sea turtles... They were cheap. ;D

But aren't you now thinking that maybe you should have gone to Savannah instead, with it's Ft. Pulaski which gives you both the Revolutionary and Civil War fix? And besides, they have great oaks with hanging Spanish Moss in the many many city square?
Or maybe - if you win the scratch off lottery you can do both? ? ? ? ?

I MISS CAROLINA OYSTERS!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Can't get em' down here. Eat a peck for me.... :'(

Pathfinder, The Revolutionary war centered on 2 cities, New York, (gateway to the North ) and Charleston.
Savannah was rather a backwater that the rebels fled to when their incompetence and feuding got them driven out of civilization.

I'm from North Charleston. Try the Hominy Grill while your downtown for goods eats too. Highly recommended.
If you're strolling around the Market area with all the bars and restaurants at night don't let the tourism board fool ya, you DO need to watch yourself down there, especially all those dark little spaces and cut thrus.

Which raises the question, Are you carrying ? I checked and according to the NRA website (another resource TAB deprives himself of ;D ) Your Fl permit is good there and in Ga.

One of my ancestors served under Lincoln and was imprisoned on a prison barge in Charleston Harbor for 18 months after Lincoln surrendered. Yeah, Tom, I would have figured you would guess that I know my history here.
Ft. Pulaski was started during the Revolutionary War but not actually finished until the early 19th Century. And it didn't play that big a role in the Civil War.
The original post, for any who might have missed it, was a sarcastic replay of FQ's really annoying and just incredibly public angst (foreign word for "whining") over his AR "Sporter" and his newfound lust for an unaffordable AK. >:(

Ya know, a guy tries to go on vacation, tips his friends off to a place with good food, pretty women and great history. What does he get? A ration of crap! Tell you what, the next great town I find will be edited to exclude Path and Eric from the recepients list.
FQ13 Who is sitting back full and happy after two glasses of malbec, foie gras over corn cakes with black berries, mussels and home made pomme frites (or "freedom fries") and a nice cappucino (all for under 40 bucks) and really doesn't give a damn right now about how the delegate from North Dakota will vote because I am fat and happy. ;D AR, AK? Who cares? Not me, not tonight, and yes, I am packing (thank you reciprocity rules).

Yep, Florida (and a good few others) are welcome to CCW here in Georgia.........even FQ. ;D
Actually, the only states in the south-eastern 'corner' that doesn't reciprocate with Ga is South Carolina and Virginia.

frogs ass and corn flakes?? ;D ;D ;D

I appreciate you FQ.
How long are you there? I roll in on Friday, got to attend a friend's son's wedding Saturday night, then back to Marietta on Sunday.
Wife and I will be staying over in Mt Pleasant (point pleasant), so I'm thinking a tour of the carrier and submarine. We'll visit our old homes where we lived our first two years of marriage. Probably walk the battery. I'm hoping we're NOT invited to the rehearsal dinner and can go out on our own.
I'm looking forward to 3 whole days off.

The timing sucks. I would love to buy you a beer. I've got to roll out early Thursday. My reccomendations are Magnolia's (hit it for lunch, not dinner as it's the same menu, just 2/3 the price) and get the chicken livers in madiera with country ham. As a Southern boy I can say that is a gift from the gods. Also, hit Pearlz, about half a block away, between four and six. $7 a dozen oysters and a local micro-brew for $2.50 a pint. You can't beat that with a stick. ;D

Thanks for the 411, FQ, have fun, get relaxed, and shake off these knuckleheads for a few days.
But, when you come back, gloves on as usual. ;D

Yeah.....I know....but every time I hear 'foie grois' I think of a dear friend's dad.....every time he heard it he would giggle and say, "Sounds too much like 'frog's ass' for me to eat....but then I'd rather eat a frog's ass than a goose's liver'".
;D
Just say NO to Patty the Frog's Ass.

Thing is Peg, I enjoy both. I am an unapologetic Florida Cracker. Livers (goose, ckicken, or duck) are considered delicacies. We also go out in the swamp and gig frogs (not gators, an important safety rule I learned the hard way at age ten ;D).Foie Gras, Frogs ass, it all sounds like good eats to any self respecting Florida redneck. 8)

Sounds more like a Cajun to me.

You actually over paid for the oysters...... I think they are going for about $25 a bushel...... just throw them on a grill and then throw some wet burlap on top...... eat, drink, and be merry.

+ a dash of cayan pepper... Isn't that the actual recipe for gumbo?

What's that? Overpaying for the oysters - throwing things on a grill and throwing wet burlap on things?
Charleston is a great town, I still have family friends down there, used to spend my summers on Sullivan's Island. Don't mess it up for the rest of us!!!! >:(

Yeah....
I can see him..............
As his 'would-be' assailants are beating a steady retreat...........
He does a quick 360 spin on one foot, snaps his fingers, points like Travolta in Saturday Night Fever...........
And says, "You've just been FQ'ed, baby!"

Hey! I did put the fighting in Quaker! ;D Besides it was more a case of a scared guy being backed into a corner with one option and a BG (thank God) being smart enough to realize it, and understanding that I wouldn't shoot him in the back if he ran, but would shoot him in the front if he didn't. No threatening was done.
