Once again, we sprinkle the fair dust and say the ancient prayer for time travel. If that doesn’t work, we can enjoy the next installment of Charleston, a look back at yesteryear. We have dug deep and we mean deep in the annuls of time to uncover these historic images of our home. Enjoy family pictures, postcards and we even slipped in a celebrity high school yearbook pictures.

The blasts over Charleston shown during the Civil War are from the Swamp Angel and the ordnance was Greek Fire. If you want a dose of awe some history, search Swamp Angel Charleston.

Do you have any pics of James Island or Folly Beach from the early-80’s? That’s when I lived there and would love to see it again with my eyes instead of just my memories.
