Happy Holidays to you Zuman2. Thanks for making a wish come true...a direct flight from Charleston to California at last...to LAX but yet SFO (The Bay Area). Of course, now is not a good time to go there or much of anywhere out of state.

Charleston Black History

Denmark Vesey Memorial Hampton Park

 

“We are free, but the white people here won't let us be so; and the only way is to raise up and fight the whites.” -Denmark Vesey

 

"Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way . . .

Like a ship without an anchor
Like a slave without a chain . . .
Sends a shiver through my veins
-Supertramp, GOODBYE STRANGER

A Charleston Seduction

2/15/2021

Piazza of Notso Hostel, Spring Street near President Street & Crosstown

 

"Charleston presents a careful veneer of half-truths and outright fabrications, and it lets you, the intended conquest, fill in many of the blanks. Seduction, after all, is not true love, nor is it a gentle act.
-James Caskey, Charleston's Ghosts: Hauntings in the Holy City

-Stelvio Cipriani,  Mary's' Theme
