Save the Tiki Hut campaign

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

The proposed bid to redevelop the Holiday Inn Oceanfront, replacing it with condos, has another, more significant change attached - the removal of the Tiki Hut bar!

Hilton Head in USA Today

Friday, September 1st, 2006

An interesting overview of how Hilton Head has developed in the 50 years since Charles Fraser founded the Sea Pines Resort in USA Today:
“Often billed as the nation’s first environmentally sensitive, “eco-planned” resort, Hilton Head, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary throughout the summer, has grown exponentially in recent years. But in one respect — […]

Unusual Shark Attack Doesn’t Deter Swimmers

Friday, June 9th, 2006

After a 7 year old girl was bitten by a shark yesterday, swimmers at Coligny Beach were seemingly unconcerned this morning, with the usual numbers of people playing in the water.

The attack was the first since 2001, when a […]

Free Parking coming to Coligny?

Monday, June 5th, 2006

If Councilman John Safay is successful we could have seen an end to parking meters at Coligny Plaza, perhaps as soon as June 15th.
The proposal would see the town giving up $100,000 annually in revenue, but presumable that could be made up in increased business at Coligny Plaza.
Sounds like a good deal to us, although […]

Miami Herald Says Hilton Head is Cool!

Monday, June 5th, 2006

A great write up in Sunday’s Miami Herald about the new hipness of Hilton Head Island. Certainly makes us sound good:
Put on your strappy top and heels and head to Hilton Head Island, because it’s gotten hot — not hot-hot, but Paris Hilton-hot. Toss aside those images of preppie golfers in pink and green and […]
