Spring/Cannon Conversion Update
Things are moving along with the plans to convert Spring and Cannon Streets back to 2 way, and to do the streetscape beautification project. Ken Simmons and Associates, in conjunction with Davis and Floyd Engineering, are revisong their proposal, which should go before the Capital Projects Review Committee on July 1. From there, it will go to City Council on July 21 for approval. Both the streetscape and the two-way conversion are being handled by the same consultant, and will be bid together as funding allows. From there, there will be various review committees, and finally a public meeting to go over the plan and to solicit input from the community. If all goes to plan and SCDOT signs off on the conversion, the bid package should be completed by early 2010, with advertisement for bids in January of 2010. If the bids are reasonable, the City plans to begin construction in March or April of 2010! This will be a great thing for Midtown, and all of Cannonborough and Elliotborough, which are already terrific places to live!

Harborfest!
This weekend is Harborfest (June 26-29) at the Charleston Maritime Center and Ansonborough field, near the Aquarium. It's usually a lot of fun, and it seems like they have added some great events this year. During the day, tall ships are available for touring, and there are sailing trips (all booked as of June 24), food, drink, music, and even a pirate village! They have also added two evening events this year that look like fun. The first is on Friday, June 26. It's called the International Tall Ships Soiree. It appears to be a private reception/tour of some of the international tall ships. participants get to meet with the Captains of the ships, tour the ships, and there are food stations and a bar set up. Tickets are sold in advance only, and you can get them at the Harborfest website (linked above). The other new event is "Harborpalooza" which, obviously, is an outdoor concert, featuring local bands The Blue Dogs and Plane Jane. It's on Saturday, June 27, from 6-10 p.m. Tickets are available online (same website) for $12, or at the door for $15. You should go check it out if you get a chance; it should be a fun summer weekend in Charleston!

New Weekend Hours!
Just as a reminder- we have changed our weekend hours. Our model home (soon to be 36 Cannon Street) is now going to be open every Saturday from 1-5 pm, and Sundays by appointment. If you are having lunch at Five Loaves, or on the way out to the beach at Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, or Folly Beach, please feel free to stop by to visit. It is a great way to momentarily escape the heat and see some truly unique and impressive downtown Charleston real estate!

189 B St. Philip
189 B St.. Philip is now a great buy for someone who is looking to purchase downtown Charleston real estate. Located on the corner of Cannon and St. Philip Streets, this urban condo has everything you are looking for. It has extra storage on the street level, chic stained concrete floors, and limestone counters. Also, it has two, off-street, side by side parking spaces! This is almost unheard of for downtown Charleston! It's a two bedroom, 2 full bath condo, located on the second and third floors of the building. I absolutely love the top floor master suite. It has an enormous walk-in closet, and a large terrace overlooking the city rooftops. The master bathroom is slate, with a separate soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and dual vanities. Best of all, it is our least expensive remaining unit, due to the fact that it is also the smallest. However, at 1470 square feet, there is still plenty of room for dining, relaxing, and entertaining. At 499K, this is truly a great deal for this level of quality in new construction downtown.
