I lived down there back in the 80s, a friend of mine rents a house there every year. More laid back and low rent than Isle of Palms Etc. Downtown Charleston is only 15 minutes or so away. If you want low key away from it all try Edisto. Folly is nice because it's not pretentious but still close to all that if desired.

We spend a good bit of time down in that area. What are you looking to do?

Just me and my girl looking for a place to do a birthday bash but just the two of us. We both like bar hopping but I wanted something more low key then Myrtle but still fun. We could stay in Myrtle, save a bunch of $ and do their big Halloween bash but I just want to do something different. How are the bars in Folly this time of year? The Tides was already booked up. I know Charleston is just a short drive also. The condo we are looking at is right near Snapper Jacks if that helps.

Great place to go if you do not like beaches like myrtle.

 

I quit going to Myrtle Beach after I was old enough to buy beer. We went there (Cherry Grove) in HS and year or two after HS and most def raised hell, but after you turn 21 you have no business going there. 

 

Charleston area is awesome, but my favorite beach to go to is Wrightsville Beach.

Yeah its nice. A lot more laid back and bohemian than myrtle. Pretty good food, gotta go to Charleston for the good good.

Has a wicked mouth to the inlet if you like jet skiing. Intense choppy waves made for big air a half mile or so until you hit the ocean. Schools of porpoises everywhere and a nice little nature reserve at the end of the beach.

Tell me about it....anything going on there this time of year? I've never been and don't know much about it. Got a milestone birthday coming up and looking for a weekend getaway.

To answer your question, it's a great place at a nice time of the year. October is one of the best months in Charleston. It can still be warm enough to hit the beach in the middle of the day. There are some really cool restaurants/bars taco boy, surf bar, Rita's (for breakfast and bloodys). The Tides has a nice beach bar also. If you like oysters, goto Bowans Island just a short drive away. Another good restaurant if you are looking for seafood is Charleston Crab house, it sits on the water and is also a small drive away. It's not very touristy there, it's a little more artsy. You will have a great time. I am jealous, happy birthday.

Thanks, just convinced me to book it.

      No doubt.  I was at the game watching it and it looked like a fly ball to the infield.  It got in the air and just hung up.  XL tracked it like a shortstop.

      You need to go outside and get some fresh air.

      Sorry, I don't get the "mental" thing at all. If his football IQ was as low as you say it is, then he wouldn't be out there blocking as well as he is.  It is quite possible that he's been pressing due to not really being in the flow of the game because Bryce doesn't look for him on the regular. His strength, at the moment, seems to be as a mismatch in the slot on crossers and slants in my opinion,and for whatever reason (maybe height) Bryce is more likely going to chuck it to the sidelines. So, in a sense, maybe Legette and Bryce aren't a good pairing, and that gives the appearance that Legette is not all there. Lord knows that Bryce doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride so they can maximize YAC. But anyway...all that being said, I thought that X would be more than just a possession type of guy. So we'll see where it goes from here. I'm not like some, who appear not to see the value in a guy who can kill you like that, and kill you just as well as guys that do their best work on the outside, but, X is going to have to be able to consistently hands-catch on the run and separate better at the top of the route if he really wants to unlock his potential as an all-around receiver. If Bryce could consistently and accurately hit receivers, especially in seams on the slants and crossers, it would open up Legette and the offense. Just my opinion, but I think he causes all the receivers to press to varying degrees, and causes the coaches to call plays that have built-in limitations, but I could be wrong about that.
