One summer, I bought dozens of...err...starry cross flags to put on the graves of confederate dead. That year I also snuck home small pieces of Fort Sumter brick.<br /><br />Old John C. Calhoun, one of Yale's lost sons, is buried there. Though they named a college for him, I don't think he ever returned. The father of secessionism.<br /><br />I always stay at the Mills House, where Robert E. Lee--and you--laid his head. I've taken in afternoon services at St. Michaels and danced, very drunkenly, during Spoleto.<br /><br />My favorite days there, however, were spent gambling on board games at The Brick with the lads there and perusing the shops on King Street before getting drunk on champagne and fried brie at Poogan's porch.<br /><br />My own ancestors were New England yankees who spread out along the Eastern seaboard in the 17th and 18th centuries before moving into the south. South Carolina was not one of those states, but I love it as though it were my own.<br /><br />South Carolina is also where Old Pike once set the 33º degree...and of that immortal geography, I shall say no more.<br /><br />Cheers brother--one of my favorite posts yet.K.S.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377583042788502092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-14642927052237698982010-05-15T00:53:30.698-04:002010-05-15T00:53:30.698-04:00Have to gainsay you on South of the Border. If so...Have to gainsay you on South of the Border. If someone hasn't had the experience, you need to do it at least once, like Vegas. I grew up in Fairmont NC, about 15 miles away, and we were enthralled by the "Yankee" prices that Alan Schafer charged there. And even us rubes knew that we were in the presence of world class tacky; Myrtle Beach, Gatlinburg, and Helen GA all pale by comparison, but it was a shining oasis for Northern Moms & Dads with a carload of kids on the way to Florida.<br /><br />I had occasion to meet Schafer (who also had a beer distributorship that covered the beach), and being a "cool" 17 year old asked how much it cost to get I-95 not to bypass SoB. He said "Son, I just showed them one year's gasoline sales tax total, not even the room and food taxes, and they couldn't redraw that map fast enough"NCJacknoreply@blogger.com
