There are so many incredible places around here.  Within a one mile radius, there is an astounding amount of history.

A quick “for instance”…. and a couple of stops along our journey this evening…..

On Tradd Street alone, you can walk near the east end of the avenue, and see how the world might have looked 250 years ago.  Most of those houses were constructed before 1770. Along that little stretch….. it is draftier inside, than out.

Right around the corner is one of the oldest Taverns in the city, which was built in 1732, by Elisha Poinsett.  The guy’s grandson grew up to become an Ambassador to Mexico.  He brought back a beautiful red-leafed plant to Charleston, and named it the Poinsettia.  How about them petals?

Walk down the street a little ways, and you can stand in the spot where 21 pirates were hanged in one day.  Argghhhhhh Matey.

And in the photo above…. this place is down Elliot Street.

It used to be an Origami Shoppe.  But…. it folded.
