Looking For An Excellent Adventure? Find It ON THE WATER
Hilton Head Island is paradise, and opportunities for fun abound on our beaches and beyond. Think miniature golf, face painting, psychics, surf shops, bars, clubs, shopping centers, and movies. But why not make use of the immaculate water right at our doorsteps and try an…
Fired Up About FIREWORKS
TOURISTS LOVE IT. ISLANDERS SUPPORT IT. STORE AND RESTAURANT OWNERS DEPEND ON IT. It’s Tuesday night fireworks at HarbourFest, an event that has attracted thousands of people to Shelter Cove Harbour for more than 20 years. But this summer, the pyrotechnic shows have been scaled back to eight Tuesdays…
FANCY Q - Excuse Me, Waiter. There’s a Dragon on My Plate!
“Irasshaimase!” It means “Welcome,” or something close to it; and before you realize that anybody noticed your entrance, a hearty and enthusiastic “Irasshaimase!” resounds from the sushi bar’s direction. A momentary brouhaha shatters the serene ambiance that we identify with Asian dining. Then things return to…
THE SERG GROUP
When Editor calls Writer and says, “Hey, Writer. I need you to do a Business Partner Profile about the SERG Group,” Writer’s mouth immediately begins to water. You see, a restaurant story usually means Writer gets to eat out on editor’s tab. Southeast Entertainment Restaurant…
Speak Up! I Can't Hear You...
With untreated hearing loss approaching what many medical experts consider epidemic proportions, a new invisible hearing device has come along at a perfect time. The device is called the Lyric® and is the first non-surgical, 100 percent invisible, extended-wear hearing correction device on the market. “The…
Tourism Rebounds! THE PREDATOR VACATIONS ON HILTON HEAD & EXPLORES OLD TOWN BLUFFTON
Dear Mom, Sorry I haven’t written lately. Been swamped promoting my new movie! Decided to get away for a few days and do this “vacation” thing these humans are always talking about. I tried out the hunting (although they call it “fishing”?) on my first…
Boating SAFETY & MAINTENANCE
Cruise by any Lowcountry boat landing and you’ll witness two things: a man falling in love with his boat and a woman falling out of love with her husband. Okay, I jest; but I’m not that far off. Being a boat owner is stressful. Have you…
SIX OAKS CEMETERY - The Future Is Certain. Have You Made Plans?
If you die today, do you know where you’re going? We’re not talking heaven or the happy hunting ground. Your soul’s eternal destination is entirely personal. But let’s face it: Somebody’s going to have to deal with your mortal remains. Have you made plans, or…
Golf Tips From A Pro: Pete Popovich - GOLF INSTRUCTION FOR WOMEN & CHILDREN
If you look in any golf shop, regardless of location, nearly all equipment and instruction is geared towards men. This is unfortunate, because golf is a game that can be enjoyed by the entire family, including women and children. Years of teaching have allowed me to…
KINGFISHER: The Restaurant That Has It All
A diner on Hilton Head Island would expect certain things—excellent seafood, waterfront views, perhaps entertainment—but would all these things combine with affordable prices? At Kingfisher restaurant, they do. “Families can afford to bring their kids in to eat without breaking the bank,” said Mark Stephenson, part…
He Says / She Says: INFIDELITY & PUBLIC OFFICE
HE SAYS… Mark Sanford, Elliot Spitzer and Bill Clinton have one thing in common: They jeopardized promising political careers and tarnished their respective legacies because of very impulsive and self-destructive behavior. Clinton, who was in the Oval Office at the time, became the first president to…
The Bite Is On! GO FISH
If asked to rate Lowcountry fishing on a scale of one to ten, it would be right up there around a nine. I have fished these waters since my family moved here in 1961, and after fishing from Costa Rica to the Caribbean and all…
RCH CONSTRUCTION: Quality Craftsmanship, Unsurpassed Customer Service & Going Green
So what do you after you’ve played college and pro basketball, taught high school math, coached high school basketball and served as an apple orchard manager? Build homes, naturally. For many, the transition from the aforementioned careers to home builder may be difficult to grasp, but Hugh…
Editor's Note: July 2010 - A VISIT TO HILTON HEAD IS OUT OF THIS WORLD...
With the upcoming release of Predators ( another sequel to the 1987 Sci-Fi flick, starring California’s own movie star-turned-Governor ) this month, our CH2 imaginations went into overdrive, and we decided to have fun with this “what if” scenario. What if the Chamber of Commerce’s…
Table For Two...WITH A VIEW
When you come to an island, you expect to find a PLETHORA of restaurants OFFERING SEAFOOD – WITH A VIEW of where your fresh catch was plucked from the sea. With over 200 restaurants between Hilton Head and Bluffton, there are ONLY ABOUT 30 that…
Who's GETTING HITCHED On Hilton Head?
Dream weddings still do come true, even in the midst of a turbulent economy. And one lucky couple is on their way to the altar and a total fairy tale weekend, all expenses paid, courtesy of the community of Hilton Head Island. Congratulations to Julie Klein…
Don't Sweat It This Summer - Call SUPERIOR HEATING & AIR
It’s hot. The heavy air clings to your skin, preventing evaporation of the sweat that beads up on your forehead. Slowly, a drop slides past your ear and trickles down the back of your neck, irritating as an insect. Inside your clothes, hot moisture is…
MARTY FALLE - Stirring Up Some Dust
He made me cry. Yup, sitting right there in front of the coffee shop, in a jam-packed shopping center, on a busy Memorial Day weekend, with hundreds of visitors passing to and fro. My eyes filled with tears as the lyrics unfolded. He made me…
