I really hate repeating myself.. but here goes...

Welcome to a land where cabs take an hour or more to respond to your SOS signals! Welcome to the city where the cab companies don't bother using a modicum of intelligence, courtesy or caller ID to keep track of their fares. Welcome to Charleston!!


Now I know that I have whined a LOT about this place. A lot of it stems from my not owning a car. Some of it stems from my social displacement that I am slowly learning to deal with. Still, there is something to be said about wailing about the flaws of this place. Sure downtown in great! But can ya get to downtown without having to wait for a cab for a gazillion minutes?!?! Sure the people are courteous and friendly, but how many of them will let you into their lives? Sure the food at Hymans' downtown is great and their service rocks, but can a vegetarian eat anything other than fries there?!?! (OK, I know that one is unreasonable... but I just ran out of steam).

I think I need to quote Freddie Mercury.. "I think I'm going slightly mad... I think I'm going slightly mad... "...

*Sigh*
