The ex-star of The Food Network’s Dinner: Impossible , Robert Irvine, will soon be opening a new restaurant on Hilton Head Island.  At this time, there is little information about what style of food Irvine will be serving at his debut establishment, but, if he takes from the examples set by his friend, Paula Dean, he may very well offer down-home Lowcountry [...]

A few days ago, the *Hilton Head Island/Bluffton, SC area was included on Google’s Street View feature of Google Maps.  The developers of Google began Street View a year ago, a feature which was only available for the largest metropolitan areas of the county, beginning with San Francisco.  The feature has been criticized by some who feel [...]

Over the past few days, there has been a few strange “animal occurrences” in Bluffton and on Hilton Head.
On Monday, a wayward goat – yes, goat – found itself on the Charles E. Fraser Bridge, the west end of the Cross Island Parkway.   After attempts of corralling the animal, the goat decided one of it’s best options was to jump; [...]

There are often times when it appears that I may ignore this site for a few weeks.  Well, I really don’t ignore it.  I read and respond to any new comments on a daily basis, I check the viewer statistics and reply to any Market Condition sign-ups when they arrive in my e-mail, and, most [...]

Christoph Schweiger is a fellow real estate agent and blogger in the Phoenix area.   We began our real estate careers and blog sites around the same time, but we also have something else in common.  We both came into real estate following stints in food and beverage.   I worked as a Chef, Club Manager and owned a restaurant with my husband.  [...]

We have far too many cameras in our house.  Just recently, we just bought our daughter her first digital camera for her 8th birthday.  The hard drive on our computer is filled with birthday, holiday and special event photos, and most of our saved images are of family, friends or food – Prior life, though my hubby is [...]

However you pronounce them - pea-cans or pea-cons - these tasty nuts are a staple ingredient in many southern sweets and pastries, and if you know where to look, they’re free for the taking.

The TV show No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain is one of my favorite programs. Last night the episode focused on the Lowcountry and, more specifically, the Charleston area. While not one of Bourdain’s more exotic shows, typically filled with endless beer drinking, Marlboro smoking and stomach wrenching foods, it did capture the laid [...]

There is no denying that we Americans have a special type of love affair with our cars.

Currently, it is 78 degrees [...]
