the Charleston, South Carolina Vacation Photos.

 


August 2025. The McGee Fish and Toddler Bonnie last summer hurrah big vacation trip. We went to Charleston, South Carolina. I was invited to an old college European traveling friend's 2nd wedding in Charleston. Also I've personally always wanted to visit Charleston South Carolina. 

Things I learned about Charleston, South Carolina:

  • Charleston South Carolina is one of the USA's old cities, at least as old as the year 1670
  • The Main old Historic town is highly walkable and simple to navigate. 
  • The neighborhood "South of Broad" has ample beautiful rich residential mansions.
  • The Vibe of the town is....think...New Orleans and West Village NYC but cleaner streets
  • The Fashion of the Residents and Tourists is Preppy Chic
  • The citizenry is attractive and cordial, would be ideal for a single person's lifestyle or perhaps an empty nester.
  • The Food is delicious. Shrimp and Grits is yummy! 
  • The town can get expensive with food, coffee, restaurants, cafes, city taxes on each bill, etc.
  • We took a History Lesson Guided Tour via a Horse Carriage
  • Yes the Slave Trade History is prominent and still displayed. It's the truth.
  • The summer weather is not so much Hot as it is humid, sweaty and sticky
  • There are 2 excellent Atlantic Coast sandy Beaches within 20 minutes Drive. 1. Folly Beach 2. Isle of Palms

Per TheATX1 (@The ATX) on Twitter: Here are the Future Development Plans for West 6th and Lamar in Old West Austin, near Downtown, ATX.

 This is a massing of the 6th & Lamar (Waterloo Records site) residential project based on the Planning Commission approved zoning. The original plans before a compromise was reached with the local neighborhood association called for a building 31' and two or three floors taller.

Should you BUY a FLIPPED House? ATX Broker Associate GVM Tips, Insights.

 SHOULD YOU BUY a "FLIPPED" HOUSE?  Have you personally ever considered and wondered if you, yourself should BUY  a "flipped house." In my 15+ years of predominantly residential Central Austin brokerage practice and experience, here are my insights, opinions, suggestions and things to be cognizant of.  #1. Absolutely, for sure get a LICENSED INSPECTION on the flipped house! Not all flippers are the same. Just like in life there is a wide spectrum in regards to quality. Some flippers are flat out awful. They make very lipstick-like improvements, skip the expensive items such as the foundation, and plumbing and try to trick the consumer into paying more for a home, when the consumer shouldn't.  On the Flip Side (this joke was just too obvious) There are also excellent high-quality flippers whom selectively choose which homes they flip, and then they invest carefully and beautifully while genuinely  improving a home! Some of these hi-quality upper tier flippe...

  Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...
