Edisto Island is the last of the islands off the coast of South Carolina not yet commercialized and about an hour drive South of Charleston
The Drive in…
Edisto Island was developed by English and Barbadian colonists for large cotton and rice plantations in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with labor done by hundreds of enslaved Africans. They developed the creole Gullah language and culture on the islands and in the Low Country, distinctive for its African traditions.
Since the twentieth century, the island has been redeveloped for use as a tourist destination with about a dozen independent little restaurants, although some private plantations remain.
Beach Houses…
The Chautauqua Institute on Chautauqua Lake in New York — one of my favorite places! Idyllic, serene and quiet with a rich history and wholesome activity for all ages…
As much as I enjoy my morning cup of coffee, it’s the coffee time that is as important. The early morning walk across Bestor Plaza for the Daily Chautauquan is a precious ritual. When our children were young and we were fortunate enough to be able to spend the Summers here, getting their picture in the Daily before season’s end was the challenge and when it appeared – a very exciting treat!
Chautauqua Cottages…
The Athenaeum Hotel …Thomas Edison enjoyed Chautauqua as a guest of the Millers. The Athenaeum was the first hotel in the country to enjoy electric lighting…

The Gateway District Organization has a variety of walking tours with wonderful docents giving fun, intersting and very informative walking tours of the legendary neighborhoods of Downtown Cleveland. They are a summer treat and time very well spent!

Meet John D. Rockefeller……in person
In view, kitty corner across the street, from the Rockefeller Building Is the Terminal Tower.
Built by the Van Sweringen brothers in 1928, the Terminal remained the the 4th tallest building in the world until the completion of the main building of Moscow State University in Moscow in 1953 and would continue as the tallest building in North America, outside of New York City, until the Prudential Center in Boston, Massachusetts was completed in 1964.
