Social Primer and Brooks Brothers have been making the rounds the past year on the Bow Tie Tour. We’ve had stellar events in New York, Charleston, New Orleans, Beverly Hills, Washington DC, Chicago, Nashville and Newport. We’ve imbibed, we’ve danced and we’ve donned the bow ties. And we’ve met some great new friends along the [...]

The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in Charleston, South Carolina bills itself as “the largest wildlife art/nature event in the nation”. Yes, over 40,000 enthusiasts descended onto the historic peninsula this past weekend with just about as many dogs in tow. And it was a glory to see. SP took the pup along to see what all [...]

There are special places in America and then there are national treasures worthy of the Smithsonian. I’ve been lucky in this life to be invited to a few of these pristine enclaves. Northeast Harbor, Maine is at the top of the list, along with Cape Cod, and of course Charleston. But there is a place [...]

Although not technically a road trip because this visit is an extended one as I work on a project, it has been a while since I visited Charleston and am comforted by sights both familiar and new.

Plantation columns and blankets of snow are not often heard in the same sentence uttered in the Deep South. If a southerner sees snow at home during his lifetime it is as rare as, well snow in the South land. And actual accumulation is even rarer. The recent snow storm that swept across the Lower [...]

SP has been on an extended stay in New York City after a sweet country Christmas down South. I have a complicated relationship with the big city that’s been going on for a while now. I’ve lived in NYC on and off for a few years, and am alternately attracted and repelled by the crazy [...]

You’ve all heard SP wax on about tailgating, the smell of good Kentucky Bourbon, and the sis boom bah of a rocking stadium. SP loves a college football game. And on game day of a huge rivalry, there is nothing that is quite as exciting. The early rise and getting ready for the tailgate, pulling [...]

SP loves a road trip. Pack a bag, gas up the car and tell me where to be and when we’re leaving and I will make an ideal travelling companion. I’ve been hanging around the East Coast here at summer’s end, mostly for business but as the posts have revealed, have been privy to some [...]

SP loves all things nautical: flags, Docksiders, brass hoo hahs and sailboats, especially sailboats. Big ones, small ones, new ones and old ones, always the old ones. And always wooden ones, if I have the choice. There are many places in America where the sailing is splendid, but there is one place that is near [...]

With this post SP begins a new feature here on the site. SP Road Trips will highlight favorite places. (The original title was SP Roadie, but that was deemed a bridge too far.) SP has been on sabbatical on the East Coast during these waning days of the summer of Aught-Nine. Business has called me [...]
