BOEING CHARLESTON:  DREAMLINER OR DREAMLIFTER ? Excitement is in the air as Charleston, SC watches Boeing's presence develop around us.  While driving I-526, one can't help but notice the field of cranes where the Boeing Charleston facility is under construction. For those of us who are entertained by the airplanes in the sky, we again are seeing examples of Boeing's presence in the Charleston area.  Recent news informs us that Boeing's Dreamliner aircrafts will be built at Boeing's Charleston facility.  But what's that guppy shaped airplane are we seeing in the air ?  Is the DreamLiner already flying ?  Yes, but not really.  What we are seeing in the sky is the DreamLifter...so what is the DreamLifter ? The DreamLifter is the cargo plane especially made by Boeing to fly parts of the Dr...

Charleston, South Carolina has again ranked on the Travel+Leisure magazine list of favorite cities in the United State and Canada.  For the two previous years we were at number 4 but now....drum role please...we are at number 3.   The only cities that beat us are New York and San Francisco.  Travel+Leisure readers participate in the survey and determine the winners.  Cities are ranked based on sights, culture and arts, restaurants and food, people, shopping and value. What makes Charleston, South Carolina number 1 on my list?  The beach of course.  Where else can you have all the things Travel+Leisure expects and sand and shore too?  Not in New York or San Francisco.  Enjoy a day on a public beach followed by great food and fun just down the street on Sullivans Island or Isle of Palms, ...

Sandhurst in Charleston, SC is the essence of an established neighborhood.           Sandhurst is the kind of place that people don't move away...they live here forever.  Developed in the early 1960's, many of the original home owners still live in Sandhurst. Just in recent times are homes being offered for sale.  The average turnaroud time for property in Sandhurrt is 10.2 years.  The founding character of the neighborhood has been preserved throughout the years.      There's no grand entrance nor amenities. No ditches (a rarity in Charleston - The Lowcountry), and yes, wide streets.  It's the kind of neighborhood where residents walk, and they walk their dogs.   The voluntary Sandhurst association fee is $12 per YEAR, and covers the cost of a Sandhurst Directory.  Covenants and Restri...

A very small portion of the population are able to offer cash on a home they are interested in buying.  For the rest of us, we keep a close eye on mortgage rates so as to get the best deal.  Most people set a budget amount of "X" amount of dollars per month, and depending upon the mortgage rate that person will seek out a certain loan amount.   The better the interest rate the more you are able to borrow, which in turn usually means a bigger/better home for the buyer.   For example, a person who has a monthly payment in mind of about $1050 per month could get a $195,000 loan at a 5% mortgage rate.  At a 7% interest rate that loan amount drops to a little more than $157,000, and at a 9% interest rate the loan amount free falls to just a tad more than $130,000.  Note - all stated examples...

Okay, now that I'm rehydrated, after my visit to Charleston, and finished showing you photos of the Middleton Plantation, the wedding, and the lovely ladies we brought with us.... now, I'm ready to show you a few of my photos from Charleston.  The above photo was taken from Waterfront Park, and is a lovely (if dim) shot of a nice sailing sloop, with that Fort Sumter in the far distance at the left. Fort Sumter guards the entrance to Charleston Harbour, and is reknowned for firing the opening shot of the civil war. The building to the right is known as the Royal Exchange (also known as the Old Exchange and provost dungeon).  This building was built in 1771, and we had an opportunity to tour the building.  The third floor is a ballroom, where George Washington once attended, and danced.....

Sitting just aross the river from downtown Charleston, South Carolina is the USS Yorktown. The Yorktown was the tenth aircraft carrier to serve in the U. S. Navy. Charleston maintains the Patriot's Point Maritime Museum which opened in the summer of 1975 when the legendary aircraft carrier USS Yorktown appeared in Charleston Harbor. The USS Yorktown was dedicated as the first ship at the Naval & Maritime Museum on the 200th birthday of the United States Navy. Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum was officially opened to the public on January 3, 1976. Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum is one of the largest museums of its kind in the world with the addition of other Historic Landmark ships like the destroyer USS Laffey, known as “The Ship That Would Not Die”, the Balao class subma...

"I would like to take this opportunity to let you know of the outstanding service I received and continue to receive from one of your agents, Randall Sandin. As a military member transferring to the Charleston area, I only had a short time to find a house. Randall sent me e-mails with listings prior to my arrival so I would have an idea of what the area had to offer. Randall and I agreed on days and times to meet, and he was always ready to go when I arrived. This was a pleasant surprise as I have found that most agents that I have dealt with in the past were far from punctual. Once Randall had an idea to see what I liked and didn't, he immediately focused on houses he knew would fit my needs. The house I ended up renting was not originally for rent, but instead for sale. Randall went o...

Tony the Peanut Man - Charleston Riverdogs game at "the Joe" "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME....TAKE ME OUT TO THE PARK... Buy me some peanuts and....." Experience an old fashioned night at the ball park while in Charleston, SC.  The assortment of ballpark food varies from smoked turkey legs, sweet potato waffle fries, gourmet hot dogs, dippin dots, loaded barbeques.  The characters are entertaining, the crowd was entertaining, the game was good...and OH, there was FIREWORKS at the end.  A classic Friday night out in Charleston. Be sure to see Tony the Peanut Man while at "the Joe".

Please be advised that the temporary funding for the National Flood Insurance Program will expire yet again on 5/31/2010.  New flood insurance policies and increases to existing policies may not be available unless congress reauthorizes the program.  We've been though this cycle twice already this year and policy availability has had a temporary lapse both times and can possibly delay closings. If you are planning a closing after 5/31/2010, we HIGLHY ADVISE YOU to get your flood insurance applied for and paid prior to 5/31/2010.  You can make your date of coverage effective for your actual closing date.  By paying for the coverage prior to the expiration of NFIP funding, you will guarantee availability of your flood insurance.  Buying or Selling in Charleston, South Carolina?
