Make history and use your imagination
Today's blog does pertain to Real Estate but it also has a good mix of the essence of me and a few things that make me tick- Real Estate and History.
Thanks to the power of the modern-day social networking tool, Facebook, I stumbled upon a very neat link designed to depict the old-school ways of the Charleston Area. If you are a history buff like myself or just one that likes to day dream about times when the pace was slower, then I encourage you to explore this site.

I have an uncanny ability to look at these pictures and go back in time,so-to-speak, and patronize some of these stores or drive one of these cars down Capitol Street. Perhaps this imagination/ability to "go back in history" was a trait passed down to me by a story Teller who was alive in 1907 and probably did frequent some of these stores, my Grandma, Violet Kenney. Although, she has passed away for about 12 years now, I can still remember as a child, her telling stories of her childhood and all the things she went through. Even as a young Jedi, I would sit and daydream walking the same streets and sidewalks as she did. So to this day, anytime I look at old pictures of the area I always wonder if perhaps I could see my Mee Maw walking the streets...With a little imagination, I just might!
Enjoy and if you appreciate this site as much as I do then please give the developer credit for all the hard work he has put into this awesome site!
