Around Town

Pictures from Wadmalaw Island. Martins Point plantation as it stands today. (site of "The Notebook") Bohicket Creek. Shrimp boat at Rockville. If you are coming here from the "Time" article, please feel free to look around. I didn't find out until today that they used a link to my blog. Welcome. Very quickly, My wife and I got married at this plantation. It is right around the corner from where we live now so if you have any questions about it, feel free to email me and ask. In a few days, I will post some more photos of the house. I wrote an interesting story about the plantation as my last post. Check it out by clicking here.






Thanks to my son, Gregory for taking the pictures. He is making a power point presentation for Irving House Winery. You can see it if you come for a wine tasting.

Hi Greg,

What beautiful photos! I'm from Charleston and was wondering if Martin's Point Plantation does any tours? I would love to see that beautiful property firsthand. Thanks!

Sorry to report that Martins Point doensn't offer any tours. It is a private home. You can drive down the plantation road, but the actual house from the Notebook is privatly owned. The winery and tea farm offer tours Thurdays-Saturdays. We live less than 1/4 mile from Martins Pt. and could direct you to some interesting things to see out here on Wadmalaw. You can see some pictures of wadmalaw on my blog page wadmalawgardens.blogspot.com

Hi, I have actually seen the house and it's gorgeous, I also saw online at one point that it was for sale...is it still for sale? I didn't see any for sale signs in front of it, but I wasn't sure...

What is the address to the house? Is there anyone living there or is it available to walk through. I've always wanted to see it!

Hey Casey
I don't know how else to reach you so I will just respond here. The house is at the end of Martins point road on Wadmalaw Island. I don't know an exact address. It is a private residence though and I don't think they give tours.

Hello,

I was wondering if it might be possible to use the Martin's point plantation as a wedding venue even though it is privately owned.

To Casey 37,
I just found the Martins Point Plantation yesterday at the end of Martins Point Road on Wadmalaw Island. I had hoped to take a few photos, but there is a sign saying "private property". I drove a short distance down the driveway and got a side view of the beautiful home used in "The Notebook". The address on the mailbox is 1204 Martins Point Road. The location is breathtaking.

Hi Greg!

I found your blog through the Time article about The Notebook house. You have some beautiful shots of the sight! I just wanted to let you know I cited your blog on my blog because I mentioned The Notebook house. Thank you for sharing such beautiful photos!

Hi there.. do you know if they mind driving down the drive some to take pictures? I don't want to break any laws or anything. After seeing the location it makes sense why I read somewhere else the best way to see it is by water. If you'd like, you can email me a message at daisyforyou at gmail dot com

thanks!

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
