Former Orangeburger Goes Home - Day 37
2008.07.13
Goodbye to Holiday South, a step up from Vacation Lodge based on its superior location, but still a bit of a fleabag.
|
Kallie drove through 40 miles of rural SC and was passed by 23 cars hurrying home from church to lunch.
|
Pine trees are everywhere on the South Carolina coastal plain.
|
Now we're in Orangeburg. In the late '70s, I lived in two rooms on the second floor of this big house.
|
Albemarle's (then Ethyl's) office is shaded by beautiful pecan trees.
|
One of the chemical plants at Albemarle's facility in Orangeburg.
|
I used to pick up lunch from this restaurant and carry it back to the plant for the lunchtime bridge game. The junkpile is a more recent addition.
|
If you enlarge this you can see that we're at the corner of Stonewall Jackson and John C. Calhoun, two favorite sons of the South.
|
What looks like a few trees was the ninth fairway of our backyard Frisbee golf course in the '80s.
|
Here's the first fairway.
|
I lived in this small row house from 1980-87. It has changed not at all, except that the tree in the median has gotten bigger.
|
In 1983, our company softball team won the Orangeburg "B" League championship at this field.
|
We met Kem, one of my softball, Frisbee and drinking buddies from Orangeburg days.
|
We made it to downtown Savannah after sunset. Here's the Talmadge bridge over the Savannah River.
|
The Savannah riverwalk has an eclectic collection of restaurants and shops.
|
This bluesman let me sing a couple songs with him.
|
We drove from Myrtle Beach to Savannah via the small South Carolina town of Orangeburg, where I lived and worked during most of the '80s.
