Folly Beach, South Carolina: The Country's Greatest Fourth of July

Wish he had kept it a secret, 'cause the above reader is correct- it's bumper to bumper now to get to FB on the weekends anyway (I live in Beaufort, 72 miles south). I remember it in the 70s when it was a mainly middle-class community, quiet, the province of surfers and second home owners mainly. Oh, those were the days. Chas. in the '70s was truly magical too- still a small town in many ways with few big-deal restaurants (Perdita's was it), but nobody cared. One, short tourist season too- now it's year-round. AND the cruise ships have discovered Chas. A type of tragedy really. Now Chas/FB are "hip". Save me from hip ok?

Btw, both Gershwin AND Poe spent time at Folly composing/writing.
