Thanks for inviting "Moi"...

She doesn't drink craft beers but still throws quite a party!

Miss Piggy is a gracious hostess.

And I learned her first name is Lorelei.

I asked what sign she was born under and she replied "I was born OVER a sign - Becker's Butcher Shop. I moved as soon as I could."

When I mentioned I used to work for a newspaper she quipped "I bet you have a snout for news."

She obviously likes the party scene.

She and her Muppet friends were really glittering when I saw them in the lobby of the Palmetto Grande Theatre in Towne Centre.

I just stayed for a moment because I was in search of the new MOUNTAIN in Mount Pleasant.

It's on Coleman Boulevard.

Well, as far as I know, it's the ONLY one in town.

It is NOT open yet for trail hiking.

Or any kind of traffic.

Wouldn't it look great up on the peak if we had another heavy snow fall as we did in February of 2010?!



(Of course you should click on the photos to see more detail.)

The displays in theater lobbies for upcoming movies are really quite elaborate. I even sat on the couch with the Simpsons.

Yes, I had to move the barriers out of the way but I did that later with Photoshop.

Thanks for coming to the party.

Free Popcorn.....

The good news is having a "loyalty card" for Palmetto Grande means free movies, free popcorn and free sodas.

The bad news is Regal Theaters bought the place and now that card is no longer accepted.

The good news is my last free admission from my old movie card WAS accepted by the new ownership. I still have a free soda coupon from several months ago tucked in my wallet but why push my luck?

Because I go see a lot of movies, I already have the card for Regal that I use at the "Summey Palace" in North Charleston.

(Did you know the front of that brightly-lighted place can be seen at night when you're landing at Charleston International airport?)

Regal also bought the Theaters at Mt. Pleasant and plans to re-open it serving food and drinks. Real food. Real drinks.
