Heading to Charleston, SC for the next 2 weeks

[Magoo541]

My boss just told me it was two weeks there or 4 weeks in Germany- spent two years over in Germany I'm over it.  So I'll be heading out Sunday most likely and I'm wondering if any of my fellow DRTV members live by and would like to have dinner or do some shooting next weekend (it sounds like we'll work half a day on Saturday)?

CHANGE:  I am actually heading to Charleston, I'm just another mushroom...

It looks like I'll be working 12 hour days for the duration so dinner will be the best I can do BUT I'd love to meet you guys/gals.

Don't live there anymore but Hyman's Sea Food is most excellent

If you can make it to the Citadel Retreat Parade is 1545 most Fridays.  Be warned, they really do fire the cannon and a favorite passtime for cadets in the front ranks is to watch civiallians jump and laugh at you

Hit Market Street. Pearlz Oyster bar at Happy Hour is a must. Great Oysters at a very good price then (about $10 or less a dozen) and half price craft beers. Just up the street is Magnolia Cafe for dinner or lunch. Amazing modern southern food. They have this appetizer, that makes a great lunch, its chicken livers sauteeded in cognac with country ham, and damn its good! Shrimp and grits, she crab soup and the whole nine yards. SNOB (slightly north of broad) is good too and in the same vein though a bit more upscale, as is Rue de Jean, if you want farmhouse country French faire. My advice is to buy anything involving a dead sheep or rabbit there. Its a great food town.  Have fun.
PS if you like tea, they have a tea plantation locally there, the only one in the US, and their breakfast tea kicks ass. I didn't take the tour, but I did buy a few boxes. It was about the best I'd had as it was fresh and hadn't sat in a warehouse for months.

Take a gun, FQ recommends it.

An Magoo, you must understand, to the natives, the old natives,  Charleston is where the Ashley and Cooper rivers come together to form the Atlantic Ocean.    Once you accept this fact you'll get a long splendidly in Old Charleston.

Of course, you can visit the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, the Clamagore submarine and the Laffey destroyer.

I lived on Jim Isl' for a while (known on the map as James Island), but that was back in the '70s and things have changed a lot.

Plan on taking my 45, USPSA match at Palmento Club Alf posted next weekend and for GP.

I've been told we are working 12's straight through but I know better-we are all getting older there is no way 

I'll see if I can check in on the Hunley, with pics as requested with the caviate that I won't have a car-our sister division is arranging all hotel and accommodations but I should be able to get my hands on a set of keys because I always do 

This is looking like a good trip with all of your recommendations-thanks!

BTW I was this close >||< to spending a good chunk of my perdiem and trading some AR mags for Smith and Wesson M&P 9 yesterday.  At $489 I was okay but then I'd be on a forced weight loss regimen and I'll be able to pick one up when I get back.

And thanks to FQ who hooked a brother up on a good deal on 10 AR mags back in Sept for $6 a piece, they seemed to have gone up a bit since then
