The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge - Just Do It!

Melissa Breeland: Loan Officer in Charleston, SC
10-05-2008 The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge ~ Just Do It!

The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge spans the Cooper River connecting Charleston, SC to Mount Pleasant, SC. The bridge was dedicated and opened on Saturday, July 16th, 2005.

Since then it has been the focal point for artists, athletes, and adventures. Tourists and townies alike love the bridge and bike, run and walk it morning, noon and night...come rain, wind or shine.

My husband and I decided to "walk the bridge" today. We have been living in Mt. Pleasant for over a year now and have heard many many times about walking the bridge...it's part of daily conversation for many. "Have you walked the bridge yet?", "Why don't we walk the bridge and talk it over.", "Maybe you should add a bridge walk to your exercise routine."....and on and on and on.

So, we caved in and took the plunge. It took us about 45 minutes to walk about 3 miles. We parked near the Channel 2 News Station in Mt. "P" and walked to the top of the bridge and back. The weather was beyond perfect and we had a great time. I learned many new things...

  1. You use different muscles on a decline than you do on an incline! Who would have guessed.
  2. I'm definitely not ready for a full bridge walk from one end to the next. Whew!
  3. It's very important to stay in your lane! The bike path is for bikers and the walking path is for pedestrians. Don't get smashed by drifting into the wrong lane..... I don't care who is chirpin' in your ear on your ipod.

Enjoy the following pictures of our maiden voyage. Oh, and by the way....when we got done we headed straight to Alex's for some good old fashioned hamburger steak and hash browns! Ya, baby!

The USS Yorktown in all its glory. Just off to your left when walking from Mt. P.

Wow...don't know who that guy is but he is HOT. Oh, wait...that's my husband.

Our beautiful port city! Charleston, SC

This is not a rocket....this is one anchor for the 128 suspension cables that lace the pair of 572-foot-tall towers together which supports this megalith. This $632 million dollar bridge can withstand a 7.3 Richter scale earthquake. If an earthquake of that magnitude were to hit Charleston it may be the only thing left standing. Well, at least we won't miss our bridge walking commitments!

Some say this bridge is the biggest thing since Hurricane Hugo to bring the city together!

Photobucket

The moral of this blog is this....if I, an overweight 40 something with absolutely no discipline, can walk the bridge...so can you! I'm not promising that I'm going to walk every week but my husband and I have decided that we really should do something to take care of ourselves so we don't, like, die or something. What better way to get in shape than to walk this majestic piece of art on a regular basis.

I'm not calling it quits yet! We have way too much more to do and explore before this ride is over.

Peace and love to you!

Shake Your Booty - Save Our Economy!

Melissa Breeland: Loan Officer in Charleston, SC

Hi ya'll, guess what.....we still have lots of money to lend and I actually have not had a problem closing my loans at all. I realize the world has gone bonkers over the next possible great depression BUT guess what....people are still buying homes with good ol fashioned VA, FHA and State Housing loans.

And NO, you don't have to have perfect credit...why just yesterday I closed an FHA with a 602 middle score and a VA with a 580 middle score. So, just to reiterate this for you first time home buyers. You can still buy your first dream home and there is still down payment assistance ($5,000 from SC State Housing) for you and it's not so bad as the news is portraying it to be.

So, get out there and buy a home and do your part to stimulate the economy and guess what....if you're a first time home buyer you will even get a nice fat check from Uncle Sam along with your tax return for up to $7,500.

Shake that booty and go find a loan Officer who has Delegated Underwriter Authority for FHA and VA (like me). I will get you approved lickedy-split and then hook you up with a fantastic Realtor to find your perfect first home.

So, South Carolina First- Time Home Buyers! I've got your back!
