Garden & Gun…..who needs Town & Country
About a year ago, I got a complimentary copy to a new magazine called, Garden & Gun. Only in the South would someone think a magazine with such a title would succeed. When I got that complimentary copy, I took the loose subscription card out and carried it around for probably a week meaning to subscribe. I never did.
Well, over the weekend I got another complimentary issue of Garden & Gun and I am definitely subscribing this time. Published by the Evening Post Publishing Company of Charleston, S.C., this is definitely a magazine for any self respecting Southerner. Some of the articles in May issue include an insider’s guide to Charleston, a guide for a proper pig roast, and an article on various barrier islands throughout the South. One of the watering holes for the insider’s guide to Charleston was S.N.O.B. (Slightly North of Broad), which for any lover of Charleston is clever play upon S.O.B. Don’t know what S.O.B. is? Than you need to visit Charleston and find out.
Here’s a link to Garden & Gun, if you like to learn more and hopefully subscribe.
That’s Chicken Little and it’s not someone you want to be. Did you hear the NEWS. Home prices were off 1.8 % in 2007. OMG, the sky is falling. It was the first time that home prices ever fell in 40 years of tracking this information. Let’s see the DJIA can swing that much in a day. When the DJIA trades lower by 10 %, 20 %, and more, it is simply called a CORRECTION. Guess what? The housing marketing is experiencing a correction. Gasp, horror, say it ain’t so, Joe.
