One of my favorite places in the world is the Battery in Charleston, S.C. Although it reminds me of the Battery, Bayshore Blvd. is longer and quite different. There are grand homes and the yards are green and beautiful.
The entire boulevard extends for over seven miles from downtown all the way to a gate to Macdill AFB. I loved following the road right beside the bay. I love to look at water. There was no traffic. There were runners and walkers. There was a side street called Interbay that kept me right beside the water the whole way. I hope the people in those special houses don't feel as if their privacy is invaded too much by onlookers like me because the houses and their grounds can't be ignored. From the front one can't realize how deep the grounds are and exactly how huge some of the houses are. Also along the boulevard there is a restaurant where I wish I had eaten. The Colonnade on the Bay at 3401 Bayshore advertises that it has had a family tradition for fresh seafood since 1935. I know that there are other boulevards of dreams, but Bayshore has a sign claiming to be one, and I certainly enjoyed walking and riding there.
