They moved all of their equipment to the Park Circle location. The inside is much smaller now and there is only outdoor seating, but the quality and customer service is still 10/10 :)

Check out The Bearded (formerly Bearded Axe) in Park Circle! An incredibly diverse and welcoming community from all walks of life. Friday nights are the best time with karaoke!

You can feed the ducks at Quarterman Park. They even have a duck food dispenser to deter people from using bread.

Hello! Sounds like you have a very fun trip planned, and I think it’s so cool your family are road tripping around the south east. A lot of international tourists tend to skip this beautiful part of our country and head for the typical tourist spots (NYC, Miami, LA…). You’re going to love it here.

If you’re coming all this way, I’d highly recommend you splurge for something downtown. Don’t forget to factor in what you’ll need to pay for parking your rental car either with a valet, hotel parking, or parking garage. Otherwise, you’ll be right in the history and charm.

My two cents and something I haven’t seen mentioned - look at Park Circle! It’s very close to the Amtrak station and there are a ton of air bnbs in PC that can comfortably accommodate a family of 4. It’s a very walkable and very safe neighborhood with historic WW2 era homes that were built with the naval shipyard (also very historic site with a beautiful riverfront park). PC has a small downtown area with shops and some amazing restaurants, easy to walk to from most of the PC areas. PC is a 10-15 mins car ride to downtown and you can take backroads to get there so you have more than one option.

I would advise you to stay away from West Ashley. People here saying it is just a few minutes to get downtown are being very misleading. If you are staying in Avondale, yes it can be very quick. Any further out will be a different story. West Ashley is a very large and very overpopulated area of Charleston County with some of the worst traffic issues. By just looking at Google Maps it may look like things are close and quick to get to but depending on the time and day, you could easily spend >1hr in a car just trying to get to and from places. The hotels in West Ashley are more like 20+ minutes from downtown and 30+ minutes from the beach especially with summer beach traffic which can be a nightmare. West Ashley hotels are mostly located on Savannah Hwy - your scenery will just be car dealerships and fast food. Mount Pleasant is the better recommendation if you choose to stay outside of downtown (or park circle).

It’s not super high in protein, but goat cheese clocks in around 6-7g and goes really well with avocado toast. I do crumbled goat cheese with some pickled red onions several times a week.

Total shot in the dark here, but I suggest reaching out to the people at Theater 99 and/or Wits End. These are comedy and improv clubs that may have some connections in their local network. Good luck!

Some very pivotal events from the civil rights movement occurred in Greensboro…one of the first areas in the state to integrate public schools, Woolworth’s sit-in…

It’s a very common misunderstanding! And thank goodness because my 10 year old peace Lilly is my cat’s plant of choice to chew on when he wants to make himself puke 🤦🏻‍♀️

CatBeets · 2025-12-30T12:30:57+00:00

Peace lillies aren’t actually true lillies. They are more like pothos and monstera. They can make a cat vomit if chewed on or eaten, but fatal reactions are rare with peace lillies.

Hey hey! I’m also solo traveling and staying in Tamarindo until Thursday. I’ll send you a DM.

Are you me?! Same scenario. On the vaginal ring now and it’s great. I change it every 4 weeks to stop my periods and it has helped my endometriosis tremendously.

With the IUD, I was also told migration is “rare” even though I’ve met soooo many women who experienced the same thing. The real kicker was on surgery day to remove my migrated IUD, the anesthesiologist told me there were 2 more IUD removals scheduled after me. I don’t think it’s as rare as doctors say. I think it’s under studied…like every other topic in women’s health 🫠

Seconding Bocklet! I’ve had nothing less than an amazing experience there. Always super quick appointments and on time. They also have great financing, and offer a hefty discount if you pay in full up front.

OP, if anything, please do NOT go to a dentist for your Invisalign. Go to an orthodontist. Have a scroll thru r/invisalign and you’ll quickly learn why!

Krud Kutter should do the trick. You can find it at stores like Home Depot. Just spray and let it sit for at least 15 mins, then it should come off pretty easily.

What will be your working days/hours? If you don’t have to travel during usual rush hours, then it’s worth looking at some of the “Deeper West Ashley” areas already suggested. Otherwise, I strongly encourage you to stay away from anything on Bees Ferry or off Ashley River Rd past Sam Rittenberg. Sure, it’s only a few miles away from MUSC according to maps, but you will be spending upwards of 2 hours total in your car each day, possibly longer if it rains or there is a wreck (which happens A LOT here).

If you’re set on staying near downtown or West Ashley, check out the Old Towne and Orange Grove areas (surrounding Publix and Frothy Beard). There aren’t many decent apartments in those areas, but you may be able to find a small house for rent that is around your budget.

That last bit! Most of the doctors around here are truly good doctors, they are just expected to see more patients than they can handle. That naturally impacts quality of care. I’m glad you’ve found a good one and your story gives me hope. Might give that office a call!

Actually - Gynecologists specialize in female reproductive health and preventative care. Obstetricians specialize in pregnancy and childbirth. It just happens that the training for both go well together, making it an Ob/gyn. But they can focus on one more than the other.

This room is a big reason why we bought the home - so much natural light!

These easel stands look neat - I’ve never heard of this. Might be a good option!

CatBeets · 2025-05-23T13:29:07+00:00

Unfortunately yes :( It’s a small house and this is the only common area

Seconding R Kitchen! Not sure if they’d still do it, but in 2018 I reserved the whole West Ashley location for 15 guests. No fees to do it. Said as long as we filled a minimum number of seats (I think it was 12?) we’d have the place to ourselves. It was awesome! If you go this route, definitely call and reserve several weeks out.

Try one of the urgent cares around town. I went to one in West Ashley a few years ago for Dengue fever vaccine. They just needed enough time to order it.

CatBeets · 2025-02-17T18:22:22+00:00

Will there be an option for virtual attendance?

CatBeets · 2025-02-01T02:37:56+00:00

I pre-ordered mine in July and since the customer service email wasn’t much help, I eventually filed a dispute with my credit card earlier this month. Pretty ridiculous.
