RIP Calhoun Mansion in Charleston


Nov 29, 2020, 6:41 AM

New name Williams Mansion. John C. Calhoun's grandson married the daughter of George Walton Willams in the late 1800's so the historic mansion was named Calhoun Mansion (16 Meeting Street, Charleston) to take advantage of the Calhoun name. Now the owner sees that as a disadvantage and re-named it Williams Mansion.

Well Charleston is to SC as Asheville is to NC.

Doesn't it suck to have cities where you can experience some culture, get a decent meal, and are attractive to visitors?

I prefer great conservative cities for those things like Cheraw or Bennetsville.

Bennettsville (Marlboro) is blue.

They went for Biden.

Cheraw (chesterfield) is red.

Found this interesting tidbit in the history:

"Only one of Williams’s ships successfully ran the blockade in the harbor in Charleston. This ship made it through with 3,000 pounds of coffee from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and the coffee was sold to the confederate army."

...... the original "Starbucks"?

Also, I saw in the Post and Courier this morning that they are erecting a Black Lives Matter statue out front dedicated to Booker T. Washington and the BLM movement of 2020. It's supposed to be huge.
