Charleston Radio Station to Change Hands…

Suzi — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 20:13:16 +0000

The popular local alternative rock station in Charleston has been sold. WALC-FM will turn the station into a Christian radio station once the FCC approves this sale, according to The Post & Courier’s Warren Wise.

This move will give the Florida-based Network more stations that broadcast Christian music mainly in the Southeast.

With the formerly “The Drive at 100.5″ exposure and popularity, Charleston is excited to be able to expand what they already have

been doing there!

Patriotic Spirit

Not only is Halloween a time of year to nibble on different types of goodies…try tasting cookies enjoyed by our U.S. Presidents.

I came across an article in the Lowcountry’s Post and Courier written by Lisa Gutierrez the other day about various presidential cookie recipes including “The White House Cook Book of 1887″ and personal recipes from presidents and first ladies.

“Cookies and the occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue go way back. All the way to 1801, when the first occupants of the newly built president’s palace, John and Abigail Adams, introduced the mansion to the public at a New year’s Day reception, serving cakes and tarts - and cookies. The lowly cookie, in fact, is very much a staple at the White House.”

The Family Circle magazine keeps track of predicting the top recipe for White House cookies based on whose wife has the most popular ingredients. Pick up the magazine this month to see who is the patriotic cookie winner!

Enjoy - and go vote!

Rules for Life

“Paradise on your right; hell on your left; angel of death pushing behind; you must go forth with honor…”

Recession Is Here

Suzi — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:08:34 +0000

According to the National Association of Home Builders, a recent monthly survey showed that sentiment among builders hit a record low in early October.

It is harder for home builders to get loans to pursue new houses and more difficult to sell those they do build. They get hit with a double whammy so to speak.

I think the recession actually started at the end of last year, and because of the financial panic we are going through right now, it’s likely to last another year.

Film company to shoot on the Isle of Palms

Suzi — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:55:44 +0000

The Sea Cabins Pier on the Isle of Palms will be the setting of at least a few scenes in a major motion picture. Sea Cabins Condominiums owns the pier just west of the Isle of Palms county park and has already granted permission to use it. Hopefully the movie crew will generate some much needed activity on front beach during the off season. This would be the second Sparks novel made in the Lowcountry. “The Notebook” was shot in parts of Mount Pleasant’s Old Village in 2003.

“Rules for Life”

What I do today is important because I am paying a day of my life for it. What I accomplish must be worth while because the price is so high…
