Good morning and happy Labor Day to you. You’re probably thinking I’m going to go on and on about the Pittsburgh Pirates, not this week! I’m going to hit on something a lot happier.
Yesterday, we just returned from what was an incredible trip to Charleston, South Carolina for Pine Room Soup and Pine Cellar Girls’ Sami’s wedding. It was a beautiful event for two of the best people that I know, so congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Campbell! I can’t thank them enough for not only letting me be a part of it, but also introducing me to this town.
I have been fortunate enough to travel to many places so far in my life, but I have never been anywhere quite like this place. I went on a walk this morning in what is a somewhat busy area of Pittsburgh, PA, and I couldn’t help but think that the only person that I passed on my half an hour stroll, was a large man sitting on a bench with a Big Gulp in his hand. Whereas three days ago, on my 5 minute walk to brunch down King St. in Charleston, I passed 27 girls that I probably would have proposed to right then and there, if you know what I mean. And this was at noon on a Friday, so you can imagine what it looks like at 10pm on a Saturday night.
Is there something in the water there? Is it that these creatures (in a good way) all across the country just flock to Charleston once they are old enough? I wish that an expert on this topic would read this and answer my questions because I am convinced that there is not one ugly person in that town. I even met a girl that was TikTok “famous” at a bar. Not that I was getting recruited to play baseball there, or that I was even good enough to play there but why did I not just go to the College of Charleston? Hell, I should’ve just quit baseball and went there for school and been broke.
Anyway, you get the point. Charleston, South Carolina is a ridiculous town and if you a male in your 20s you probably should visit at least once in your life. If you don’t see any blogs from me or I’m not on any podcasts or radio shows in the coming months, you could probably guess why. I’ve left my life behind and moved to Charleston.
