Friday
The news if full bad economic reports. But, walking around downtown Charleston it is clear that people find ways to have fun visiting the city. Eat to your hearts content in luxury or t-shirts, shop, drink, tour and laugh. There is a good time for any budget in Charleston. Wandering the shady streets South of Broad or hiding away in a air-conditioned bar, a visitor can have a great time on a tight-budget.
And in the hot summer days, the beach is down the road. We have been taking baby and dog to Folly early on the weekends. It is perfect to get there early, run, swim, chill, read, and then scoot before noon. The rest of the day is yours away from the crowds. Of course, a beach full of people is fun too. So if you want action go to Folly mid-day and stay till sunset! There is all the sun, sand, water, food, beer and party to last all summer!

SUNDAYWhile recession fears and frantic pundits sqauk about the economy, Charleston, SC continues its smooth transition into the spring. Just when cold weather seemed have settled in on Charleston for good, a change in the clocks to daylight savings time has ushered in the spectacular sunshine that makes our town a so lovely.
Real problems exist in our local economy too, but a least for the day, the clip clop of carraiges, screams of delighted kids on Waterfront Park and scent of good cigars has made the world seem positive.

TUESDAY
Rain, worry, optimism. Charleston, SC is in flux. Bars and restaurants are busy. People are eating, drinking shopping. Are Charlestonians saying; "What recession?" I think so. For the moment, the doom and gloom chatter is not deterring the upbeat nature of the local Lowcountry citizen.

TUESDAY
Time flies as the weather cools down. With Halloween just around the corner, there is the feel of the holiday season on the Charleston air. It seems silly to start talking about the holidays so early, but once October 31 hits, the time seems to race by, and before we know it 2009 will be upon us. Festive all year 'round, Charleston is especially fun during the next two and half months.
The fun starts on Halloween. This year the it falls on a Friday. Look out! The entire downtown area of Charleston, SC buzzes with ghouls and goblins, and in more recent years, girls in their undies. Hmmm, should be fun.

SATURDAY
With the economy on the edge of a potentially deep recession, and the Presidential election only 17 days away, I am guessing that the mood in Charleston, SC is not unlike that of most of the country. People feel change in the air. Whatever their political leanings, Charlestonians know that we as Americans are undergoing one of the great cyclical shifts that occur only a few times each century. However, as one of the United States most historically experienced cities, there is also a dignified calm that comes with the knowledge that through thick and thin, the city will stand and its people will prosper.
Early upheaval in Charleston included attacks by the French and Spanish, slave revolts, great fires, economic depressions and devastating hurricanes. Charleston's fragile position in the coastal Lowcountry has left it with some wrinkles and lines that add to it's ever evolving charm.

FRIDAY
Despite madness in the news and a the first Presidential debate, Charlestonians appear to be festive. The cool early autumn weather - brought on by a storm off the coast - has the city buzzing with good times and foreshadowing of the holiday season on the horizon. Going out to dinner or a party, or simply walking your dog downtown make for a wonderful Friday evening in Charleston, SC.
No dinners out or parties for me. I selected the "walk your dog" choice.

My Favorite Charleston Restaurants
Seafood
Hanks Seafood Restaurant. The only downside of this restaurant that I have ever heard is: "There are too many tourists." Located just north of the Market, Hank's does indeed attract a large tourist crowd. However, they are a mostly pleasant, joyful gang, they add interest and life to the community table, and place thrives on their business.
