North Charleston, SC

Yum, yummy, yum! I bet you are hungry now! Madra Rua is not only an evening happy hour and great place to watch soccer and other sporting events... it can also fry up one yummy breakfast. Probably shouldn't eat like this too often but now and then a start like this is quite a treat!

Black sky, scary clouds, and BAM - the lightning shall come!

The storm that hit Charleston last night came quickly, pounded hard, and then hit the road.

Facebook makes storms even more interesting as you see your friends post what it's like at their home. Knowing who just lost power or who is watching their garage can roll down the street keeps us connected like never before.

This almost sounds cruel for people that want to win races or beat their own personal best time but at the same time it calls to those that love taking a chance!

The Chance Run
