Let’s Celebrate South Carolina

13 11 2008

“Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morn……..ning! Al Jolson’s version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoJJcixSfjo (if you’d like to listen).  I really like James Taylor’s “Going to Carolina” in article below on whistling (some guy called me a moran for thinking James Taylor was from SC).  Well, I know he’s from NC–but what’s the difference?  When we started out, we were CAROLINA!  Which is the female name for Charles (Charleston)!  I even have a map that shows we go all the way to the Mississippi River.  We were too BIG to handle.

I’ve found a great website for South Carolina.  You can find out just about anything you need to know.  It’s listed to the right called SC iway.net. I use it alot!  In case you haven’t noticed on our new licensed tag there is a website called trave2sc.com (you’ll see it to the right as well).

I started out this year wanting to celebrate the people and businesses coming to South Carolina to live, work, and play…There are some exciting things happening; however, this 2008 has really been different for me.  Being in the RE business, we keep saying that we are readjusting or getting back to a realistic growth pattern.  I went to hear Donald Schunk of Coastal Carolina University (the Wall Business School is noted INTERNATIONALLY) at the Realtors meeting this past Friday; and, WOW, he had good information on our economy.  His forecast was hope and a view of things returning to the early 2000s before we were hit with so many variables…  I’d like to hear more Don!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with safe travels, big turkey, collard greens, dressing, and plenty of family fun.

You do know that if you hit the rss in the bottom right, you’ll be notified of everytime an article is released from LetsCelebrateSouthCarolina.com.  Also, if you haven’t registered for the Jill Strickland framed print, please do so to the right!  We’ll be giving it away at the end of the year! So just do it!

WOW A “Mayberry” town for Sure!! Loris, SC

14 06 2008

Local radio station WLSC 1240 AM is a connection to the past.  Owner “Banana Jack” and his self acclaimed “Mayberry” town and radio station has made it just that.  We celebrate going back to roots that remind us babyboomers of home……  And, I sure remember Andy of Mayberry, Mt. Pilot and Goober (my favorite, besides Opie).  And, “What it was, was football.”  Do you remember?

You can connect to the nostolsgia at www.WLSCradio.com (streaming online) Country, Bluegrass & Southern Gospel.  You can also connect to the Loris Chamber of Commerce at www.lorischambersc.com.  

We’ve just introduced a “Quiet” Nice Neighborhood called Myrtle Lakes North.  It’s just 10 minutes from Loris and 15 minutes from North Myrtle Beach.  Connect to our Coastal Real Estate Connection to see it:  1800ToRelax Coastal Connection 

Small towns are all about South Carolina and this is just another reason to Let’s Celebrate South Carolina.  Ya’ll come visit Loris!  In the fall they always have the Loris Bog Off???!!!
