Welcome

To describe our growing up in the lowcountry of South Carolina, I would have to take you to the marsh on a spring day, flush the great blue heron from its silent occupation, scatter marsh hens as we sink to our knees in mud, open you an oyster with a pocketknife and feed it to you from the shell and say, "There. That taste. That's the taste of my childhood." I would say, "Breathe deeply," and you would breathe and remember that smell for the rest of your life, the bold, fecund aroma of the tidal marsh, exquisite and sensual, the smell of the South in heat, a smell like new milk, semen, and spilled wine, all perfumed with seawater. My soul grazes like a lamb on the beauty of indrawn tides.

The Prince of Tides, Pat Conroy 

I am a South Carolina native living in New York City with my husband. My husband and I love living in New York. The art, culture, places and people are amazing. The more I fall in love with New York though, the more I long for home. This is a place where southerners can exchange ideas on where to find bits of home in this massive city as well as special things belonging to New York that we could never find at home. Come back and visit us again soon.
