96 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com With summer in full swing, our neighbors east of the Cooper share what makes our home such a special place to live, work and play. KRISTY MACBRIDE Realtor for eXp Realty LLC, Registered Nurse at Roper St. Francis Hospital Kristy MacBride has always loved the ample offerings the town provides. “People are friendly, the food is good and nature is abundant. We have everything we need in our home.” “Summers in Mount Pleasant are full of sun and water. If we are not in the pool, we are in the ocean or some other waterway. Getting a tan is high on our priority list, and we keep the dermatologist in business with our time spent in the sun, and there’s always a high supply of vitamin D. Boating or spending time with family and friends on the beach is always a wonderful way to spend the day.” “The thing I always tell my clients is that if you’re looking for city-living with a hometown feel, you have come to the right place. We are surrounded by water and wildlife to enjoy on a daily basis and a special history, as well as modern-day conveniences.” JON ANTLEY Director of Komline-Haselden Company Having been raised in Mount Pleasant, Jon Antley had nothing but praise for the nature and the people of the town. “My absolute favorite thing about Mount Pleasant is the proximity to the water. You can get to the beaches or enjoy the waters on places like Shem Creek in no time.” “Spending quality time with family and friends while eating some great food is unbeatable. It’s what makes the many restaurants so special around here. For brunch, Page’s Okra Grill just doesn’t miss.” “If you’re thinking of moving here or coming to visit, it’s well worth it. It has such a perfect mix of location and culture, while the locals are some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet.” CHELSEA SMITH Co-owner of Event Hub, Owner of Magnolia Mixers Chelsea Smith added, “The views in Mount Pleasant are home. It’s a very beautiful place, with nature abounding. The food is fantastic, and there’s nothing better than going out on the water and coming home with a fresh catch for the night.” “There are tons of activities that are perfect for Mount Pleasant. Opportunities for photography are abundant and being so close (to the water) means many chances for fishing or crabbing. Archery has become a new favorite of me and my family. It’s just the perfect place for spending some time outdoors.” “But with summer coming, be sure to take some bug spray with you everywhere, alongside sunscreen, mobile fans and as much water as you want. While the summer is beautiful and lively, staying prepared and safe is the best way to enjoy everything the season has to offer.” Our East Cooper Neighbors BY BROOKE WATSON To recommend an interesting neighbor in our community, contact Editor@MountPleasantMagazine.com.
