What in the world was life like before Wi-Fi became ubiquitous? Here I am, manning Lowcountry's real estate booth at Beaufort's Military Appreciation Day, and I can flip open my Mac and pickup Wi-Fi.
Who woulda thunk it 5 years ago?
We've got a band jamming in the parking lot, and a clown entertaining inside.
The event, of course, coincides with the 233rd birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps. The Marines are a huge part of the fabric of Beaufort. They are just huge in this community. Beaufort would not be the same without them.
The last week and a half has really been a neat spectacle, as the Corps celebrates its founding, back in 1755. Last week, I saw Marines and their spouses, dressed to the nines, going into restaurants on Bay Street, before heading over to the ball.
In addition to the iconic Recruit Depot at Parris Island, Beaufort Marine Corps Air Station and the Beaufort Naval Hospital also make their home in the Lowcountry.
What was life like without Wi-Fi? What would Beaufort, SC and the Lowcountry be without the Navy and Marines.
Beaufort would not be the same without them.
