Goodness, the world is probably going to be coming to an end with the recent announcement that STREET LIGHTS will soon be coming to Route 278 that leads from Bluffton to Hilton Head Island.  So, what's so unusual about this?  There are NO streetlights in Hilton Head and many residents aim to keep it that way for a long time.  The lights that ARE planned are for Rt 278 and will be placed at major intersections to assist motorists at night off island. The good news is that Beaufort County has mandated the use of LED lights so at least we'll be environmentally correct.  No plans for street lights on Hilton Head Island yet, but stay tuned---that could happen sometime in the next 50 years.  Who know?  And, that's what makes Hilton Head so unique and appealing to folks from all over the world... 12/27/2008

Locals know that Mi Tierra, located at 160 Fairfield Square on Hilton Head Island and  100 Mellenchamp Center in Bluffton, is the place to go for outstanding Mexican food, not to mention the Margaritas!  Their menu is varied with traditional Mexican offerings like chips and fresh salsa, Tostados, and of course, the Cerviche is to die for!  As the folks at Mi Tierra say---'IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GUAC!"  Yes, do try the Guacomole---it's well worth it!  As for the prices, you won't be disppointed--it's a great place to take the family and not spend a fortune.  TO CONTACT THE FOLKS AT MI TIERRA'S: 341-3401   HILTON HEAD 757-7200   BLUFFTON 10/23/2008
