Things to do and Eat

These are places we've gone in the past for food:

Some useful shops:

  • R&L Liquors (207 Second Street)
  • Rite Aid Pharmacy (444 Savannah Road, probably need a car)
  • Ocean Suds II Laundromat (18675 Coastal Highway)

Things to do.  Basically, I know these have been done, ask for details.
