Located on Charleston Harbor, the Cold War Submarine Memorial stands as an enduring tribute to the…read morededicated men who served in our submarines during this unique and dangerous period in our nation's history; to their families who remained behind and managed alone at home during their long absences; and to the men and women, both civilian and military, who provided the superb support that assured the remarkable success of their missions. One corner of Patriot's Point that you may not have noticed at first is the Cold War Memorial. Its design, size, and sheer emotion will move you beyond words. The monument is a Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine rising from under the ground beside the highway. It is breathtaking. The monument's design placed the sail and rudder of the USS Louis and Clark where they would be on the submarine. This gives a unique perspective of the sheer size of the boat. Around the site is a walking trail with educational stations to pay homage to the sacrifice and risk these men took.

The ambience is awesome. The food specials are great, and commander is very welcoming to everybody who served in the military and their spouses. Why wouldn't any Veteran not want to go here! So many warm and friendly people and great food specials, and drink specials! Try it out I love it. You will too.

I stopped by Post 179 today because I heard they had a drop box for American flags that are in need…read moreof a proper retirement. I've had a flag flying in front of my house for about eight years, and it's now rather faded and not in all of its glory. I bought a new flag, properly folded the old flag, and sealed it in a gallon Ziplock bag so that it would not touch anything that an American flag shouldn't touch. The Legion is easy to find off of Ashley Hall Rd and the drop box is right at the entrance of the parking lot. I'm glad that there is a place like this where American flags can go to be retired, because it's very hard to find a Boy Scout troop or pack that is willing to take them if you don't know someone on the inside. Thank you to Post 179 for your service and all that you do to honor Americans, Veterans, and our flag.

Everyone was complaining that they ran out of oysters by 2pm this year. Honestly, it sucks but, they had 80,000lbs this year. People just went nuts on them, how could they account for that? I didn't even get any oysters and I still wasn't upset. Although I had been drinking so that may have lightened my mood. I still had a great time with all the other food and entertainment. It's a great place to run into people because everyone in town is there. Just relax and have a good time. There is no secret trick to parking or voodoo on picking the fastest moving line. Just enjoy yourself. If you really want to make the best of it... get there super early. It's the only way. If you can have a laid back time and not really care, show up whenever you want. Hell, go late and stand near the gate for a while. You won't even need to buy food and beer tix cause everyone just gives them away at the end anyway.

I attended the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC, for the first time Memorial weekend 2026. This…read morewas not your typical festival as it lasts something like 20 days and the events were held in multiple venues around town. I was only in town for four days. I attended the first concert, jazz, Sunday, May 24, at Dock Street Theatre. The performer/group was Mali Obomsawin. This was an interesting show. I renamed it interpretive jazz. Two songs I vibed with and the others were too contrasting for my musical ears. Music is objective so I'm not saying they were bad, just not for me. The second concert was Punch Brothers Saturday night at The Cistern located in a gorgeous park. This was the largest concert we attended as there were at least a 1000 people. This show was awesome! A bluegrass fusion band (my opinion). They were entertaining and held my attention. The last show I attended was back at the Dock Street Theatre Monday morning. This was chamber music with multiple duos and trios. The first act was Jennifer Johnson, opera singer, accompanied by a pianist. She was fabulous! All the artists were great! If you love music and the arts this is one festival you should check out!

Never got close enough to see a THING. We had to watch a piss poor video of what was going on. REALLY bad planning on the part of SEWE. REALLY disappointing all around. All they needed to do was put up some cheap bleachers around the pool and the pen where the herding events were, and then people could actually get their money's worth. All in all, don't bother going to any of it. It's too crowded, no place to park, traffic is hideous, UBER drivers won't even go near the events. You don't need to spend money to see people hawking guns, booze, designer huntingwear (OMG ridiculous), and stupidly expensive honey.
