Funny observations

While in Charleston, we have noted several interesting things:

Chicken places are everywhere:
KFC
Kickin' Chicken
Chuck's Chicken
Zaxby's
Lickin'' Chicken
Cluckin' Chicken
Chick Fil A
Church's Chicken
Popeye's Chicken
Dodge's
Bojangle's


We thought "ABC Packing Stores" were post offices but they are really liquor stores.

Street signs are not lit up if they are there at all.
Stores might have a little sign on the road advertising where they are located, but most don't so a driver has to look at the actual store front to see the name.
Drivers don't yield for pedestrians, even in a crosswalk!
People don't honk here. They might glare at you, but they don't honk.
Many people drive everywhere in golf carts!

Everyone loves children...even the children love children.
Sabrina dropped several socks and a couple of hats while we were walking around and people, even a city bus driver, stopped to tell us she was missing a sock.
We were able to retrace the socks and hats which were usually several blocks, or miles from where we were.

Good coffee shops are hard to find, but sweet tea is everywhere!

The birds are a dream! With so many large bugs to eat, they are larger and more abundant than back home.
Sleeping or cold alligators are not a huge threat. Snakes are another story.
