Running ERRands
Maybe I’m just a freak, but I
thought that running errands on
Daniel Island was more fun than
usual. For one thing, I could walk or
ride a bicycle everywhere I needed to
go, whether it was to the UPS Store,
Salon Unhwa for a manicure or the
nearest Redbox video kiosk. When
I did gas up the trusty Saturn, I was
pleasantly surprised at the price.
spEcial stuff
It’s no secret that Daniel Island
is the destination for many of the
Lowcountry’s special events. The
Family Circle Cup is held each spring,
and Blackbaud Stadium hosts the
Southern Ground Music & Food
Festival every year. I didn’t go to any
major events during my weeklong stay,
but I did visit the Thursday afternoon
farmers market, a special Daniel Island
treat all its own. I bought a homemade
cookie – lemon, and very good –
and met some really nice people.
Someone even let me cross the street
in the middle of rush hour. And I was
jaywalking! I couldn’t help but feel
triumphant –and lucky – as I skipped
across Seven Farms Drive to my car.
Of course, after a few days, or even
hours, on Daniel Island, feeling lucky
is part of the deal.
