Charleston Quotations

Charleston is an amazing place. I probably didn't appreciate it enough when I was growing up.

We're excited to be able to help raise awareness for the Soccer United Recovery Fund; the fact that the Charleston Battery is located in a city and in a part of the country that has seen its share of hurricanes over the years helps us appreciate the dangers and the severity of these storms. We're glad to help out in any way we can.

Personally, I think Greenland is the team to beat. They're loaded with a lot of talent at the skill positions. Charleston is always going to be right in the thick of it, but Greenland looks pretty tough.

We're probably playing our best basketball of the year. But we don't want to blow it out of proportion. North Charleston comes in here Friday with the best post player in the state, and that's a whole different ball of wax.

West Virginia has long been a hotbed for NASCAR. It is certainly one of the top states in the country in terms of fan support. The ONMC is all about bringing NASCAR to the cities and towns across America. NASCAR fans all across America are gravitating toward the local chapters and the Charleston chapter has been a leader in this area.

How would this play out in Charleston or Savannah or throughout the South? The building would be saved. But out West, the fight for historic preservation is harder. We are winning some and losing some, but out East and down South, they are winning more than losing.

Our view on it is simply with what we know of Mattoon. We compete against them in a few sports already. Our boys' soccer teams play. Our baseball teams play. Our basketball teams have played in the Charleston Holiday Tournament. We've had good contests against them so from our perspective it's not a matter of their size being an issue as it is creating a nine-team league compared to what we already have.

Our Boston customers continue to ask for additional destinations that are attractive for summer travel and both Quebec City and Charleston are frequently on the top of their list.

We continue to be grateful to members of the Charleston dinner committee for their astounding record of bringing business leaders whose insights are timely and relevant to the affairs of our state,

Without air meds on board, they will not allow us to take patients ... and Charleston is not equipped to keep folks overnight,

We are having a pretty good year. The year started off great. It was a nice tournament win for us. Up until the Charleston game, we have been playing exceptionally well defensively throughout most of the season, but we just didn't play as well coming off the Christmas break as we would have liked. Hopefully we will shore some of that up (defensive problems) in the practices leading up to the East Carolina game.

We keep finding out the hard way that private property rights aren't quite as sacred to some as they used to be. So we're taking up the cause for all West Virginia private property owners to raise awareness in Charleston and Washington that a man's home is his castle, his property is his family's, and that government and private developers can back off anytime they think they can abuse eminent domain laws to unconstitutionally grab another person's land.

To say the College of Charleston game is any bigger than any of the rest we have left is a hype statement. Every one of them down the stretch matters.

We talked to a mason from Charleston and people in Columbia, but, to the person, we have used local people for all the work.

We're going to be in the middle of it. I think if we can get through the Charleston game healthy and not get a lot of kids beat up, we'll have a shot.

Every city has something unique that something nice could work out. This is something that is not in town right now, this type of structure or this type of theme. I am really going for a Charleston look in a small town.

Back in February, I had taken Elsie to Charleston to see a specialist. The doctor told her he would put her on the list for a (kidney) transplant, but he also told her to expect she would be on the list for 3 to 6 years.

About seven years ago, we got serious about looking at South Carolina. We looked all over -- Lexington, Myrtle Beach, Newberry, Charleston and Chesterfield. About the only place we didn't look was Aiken.

It's going to be fun to see where we're at. Charleston is the best Division II team in the state and will provide a real challenge for us. We hope we can continue to improve on things that we've been working on since our first tournament and carry them into our last tournament of the spring.

I received orders from Congress to proceed to Charleston in South Carolina, for the purpose of Co'operating with General Lincoln in the defense of that Capitol.

Charleston was a good town. It was a nice town. I played there years ago before Porgy and Bess. And I think the conception wasn't bad. It was good.

Charleston is very fortunate to have a significant number of working artists located in the community. We strive to be philanthropic, donating our art to numerous local charity events, and many of us open our studios and provide demonstrations to youth groups.

College of Charleston is a really good team. They are always tough.

The first half of the game was so much different that the second half of the game. We got the lead and they scored a few runs and kept it going. Charleston is a good team and they got the big hits and took control.
