drove, eagerly urging Denise, “Don’t forget Bricco Bracco
or Okra Grill. The guy’s gotta eat. He’d love sunset on the
deck at Red’s Ice House, the tequila assortment at SOL
and just about everything at Tavern & Table.”
Well, I know I’m a pretty hefty guy, but I hadn’t
traveled 4,000 miles just to escape Mrs. Claus’ cuisine. I
suggested that as an amateur oenophile, I’d like to find a
selection of good wines. Then “as dry leaves that before the
wild hurricane fly,” like we say back home, I was driven
up Coleman Boulevard where I found an excellent merlot
and a very nice chardonnay at Bottles Beverage Superstore.
Along the way, my two guides regaled me with tales of
how great their town had become and how many new
attractions it offered.
I’ll admit I was impressed. I’d always been fond of
their historic town East of the Cooper, but, during my
Christmas Eve visits, I’d never had time to catch up on
how much it had changed for the better.
By the time they’d dropped me off back at the Holiday
Inn, I had six pages of scribbled notes on my pad and a
ton of great ideas about how to enjoy Mount Pleasant.
There was golf at RiverTowne Country Club, kayaking
with knowledgeable guides at Nature Adventures
Outfitters and so much more. And forget about doctors
and dentists. If I develop any issues, Mount Pleasant’s top
drawer health care professionals will have the answers.
Before the sun set that evening – and, believe me, South
Carolina sunsets are a real treat for a guy from the North
Pole – I was convinced. Mount Pleasant was the place for
me to spend those lazy, crazy days of summer I’d missed
during all those long, dreary years in the frigid North.
I bought myself a nice place – exactly where, I’d prefer
to keep secret, although I’ll hint that it’s south of Awendaw
and west of Sullivan’s Island. I added a hot tub from
Atkinson Pools and Spas so I can unwind and called in
C&C Myers to tune up my air conditioning unit.
I’m really happy to have found a “sandbird” home
away from home right here in Mount Pleasant. But I
often wonder about the two people who helped make
it all possible. I never got their full names when they
zipped off to do whatever they do for a living. They didn’t
leave anything behind except a copy of Mount Pleasant
Magazine. Not even a little Christmas gift. Or a silver
bullet. Oh – they did leave me a brochure for the Mount
Pleasant Senior Center. I guess my youthful rosy cheeks
and hearty “Ho, ho, ho” didn’t fool them at all.

Before Santa started shopping for his
new Mount Pleasant home, he called
Charleston’s 1st Exclusive Buyer’s

Santa told him exactly what he

to bake her tasty treats, as well
as plenty of room in case their
favorite elves came to visit.
