Official Start of Summer

Memorial Day weekend is the official start of summer. In Charleston it means many things:
  • Get to the beach early if you want a parking space.
  • If you don’t start quickly at a red light you will get honked by someone from “off”. They don’t know our horns aren’t used in Charleston.
  • It’s snake mating season. Watch out.
  • It’s alligator mating season. Watch out.
  • Prepare to wait for a table outside at Poe’s.
  • The hotter it gets the grumpier people get at the grocery store.
  • No shirt, no shoes, it’s ok.
  • Shag time.
  • Our state bird is the mosquito.

Enjoy the summer.
