Best LocaL ceLeBrity
To hear people talk, we’re all a bunch
of blowfish in a Hootie-obsessed
town. Our readers think Darius
Rucker deserves the title of best local celebrity. When
we hear his voice sing “I Only Wanna Be With You” on
the ‘90s iPod mix, we cannot help but agree.
Best teacher
When it comes to reading, ‘riting and
‘rithmetic, readers said that Cynthia
Beall of Sullivan’s Island Elementary
can’t be beat for educating your offspring. The word
is that children leave her classroom feeling signifi-
cantly smarter.
Best PrinciPaL
Remember the old spelling tip on
spelling “principal” and “principle?”
Well, after tallying our readers’ votes,
we don’t doubt that Lucy Beckham of Wando High
School must be everyone’s pal. Wando churns out a
lot of successful young people, and Beckham is en-
couraging them to achieve their dreams.
Best coach
Jimmy Noonan has taken the Wando
Warriors to new heights under the
Friday night lights. His friend-first
attitude might have been the reason he was voted
best coach in Mount Pleasant. Or maybe it’s just
because Wando football trumps any other sport East
of the Cooper. Either way, readers agree, Noonan is
the man.
Best LocaL PoLitician
Tim Scott, our newest U.S. senator,
doesn’t ever make our state look fool-
ish. On the contrary, readers think he’s
a beacon of light for South Carolina’s march into the
future. If you didn’t vote, don’t bother to take credit
for his prowess. But if you voted for Scott like many of
our readers, pat yourself on the back.
Best reaLtor
Have you thought recently about
relocating to beautiful Charleston,
in search of good food, great vibes
and that everyday-vacation feeling? Have successful
business ventures enabled you to start thinking about
a second home on Sullivan’s Island? Your man with the
plan is the Lowcountry’s top Realtor, Ed Hunnicutt.
Best reaL estate comPany
Ode to the cocktail glass you clutch
that’s half full of Southern-style sweet
tea. Ode to your rocking chair that’s
swaying back and forth on your redwood front porch.
And most of all, ode to Carolina One, the top-notch
real estate company that put you in that chair on that
porch, with that satisfying sweet tea in your hand.
Best radio station
You all know that incredible
feeling we get once a day when
we’re headed home from work,
our minds finally free from all job-related stress. As
we drive over the Cooper River Bridge to our Mount
Pleasant homes, we crank up our favorite radio sta-
tion, 105.5 The Bridge, of course, and smile – knowing
we live in the finest city in the world.
Best home cLeaning service
The time your fiancée found out about
the “what happens in Vegas, stays in Ve-
gas” bachelor party or when the deli manager realized
you had been taking bites out of every sandwich that
you served probably were messes you can’t clean up.
For everything else there’s Maid Pure cleaning service.
Best FamiLy doctor
It’s hard to find a
good doctor you
can trust, one that
makes each patient feel special. Try visiting Dr. John
Knepper at SeeWee Family Medicine, who gives all
patients, young or old, the attention and care they
deserve.
