Excerpts from the book Images of America: Port Royal, by Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer The Town of Port Royal is in the midst of making significant history… again. The incorporated town has seen its ups and downs for over a century; and now, Port Royal is on the brink of prosperity. Many believe the current slate of events will the propeller that finally puts the quaint coastal village on the map.

Women Build… among other things

Another great LowCountry Habitat project is in the works… and there’s jazz involved. Women. The word conjures many images, surely, but for me it’s just a big question mark. They might as well wear a tight green outfit with a symbol in the middle like Frank Gorshin’s Riddler on the 1960’s Batman television program. I’ll never understand them, but I won’t give up trying either. All anatomy aside, there is something inherently different in the genetic and chemical makeup of men and women, just as God intended. That’s not to say they should not be desired as companions, sought out as leaders, or appreciated as the last bastions of civility and virtue. There’s currently a commercial on ESPN radio – of all places – touting women as the world’s most underutilized resource. While that may be true in Afghanistan, it’s certainly not in my little world.

(I know, I know… What’s the world coming to?) I learned of the Panini’s robbery when I saw a shocking picture of their shattered back door – along with a short report of the incident – on Facebook. Upset, I promptly shared the picture on my own FB page, with the simple comment, “Wow.”
