watch me fall Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Pics? Unique clothing? I can post a pic, but I'd have to get back to my home PC. When I went to see Nels a couple weeks ago, Three Dollars and Sixty Three Cents told me that she'd be the girl with the silver purse. Ah. well I have a lime green purse. Maybe I'll bring that.

watch me fall Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I have another question for those who may be familiar with the area. I know all of these places (the venue, Days Inn, Wild Wings) are all within walking distance of one another but are we talking about crowded, commercial roads that are safe for walking or no? I was thinking of parking at Wild Wings and then just leaving my car and walking to the venue and back to my car but not at the expense of getting hit by a car. I love Wilco, but not that much.

From what I remember, its pretty busy all around the PAC and I'm pretty sure you'd have to cross atleast one busy intersection to get there. I'm not even sure if there is a sidewalk.

mfwahl Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 That's what I thought. But that one guy seemed pretty happy everything was all in walking distance.I was thinking basically the same thing for the Jacksonville show. With Google Maps Street View, you can essentially walk down the street in virtual reality to see what the sidewalks are like. Shit's crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the show was in downtown Charleston, walking would definitely be ok but from what I've seen of North Charleston, I don't think I'll try it. I'm gonna try that street view thing later. Sounds cool.

With Google Maps Street View, you can essentially walk down the street in virtual reality to see what the sidewalks are like. Shit's crazy.Jacksonville's downtown has had a huge influx of condos along the waterfront, so they've had to beef up security. You can walk anywhere, within reason. If the show was in downtown Charleston, walking would definitely be ok but from what I've seen of North Charleston, I don't think I'll try it. I'm gonna try that street view thing later. Sounds cool.It's not available in South Carolina. However, you can see my Christmas decorations from my front yard last year if you typed in my address. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

willywoody Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 walking from that buffalo wild wing (not to be confused with wild wings) would be possible but you would have to cross a large road that may or may not be busy. it's usually not too busy when there's not a show but it's the main thoroughfare leading to parking for the npac so near showtime it's a little crazy but not high speed crazy. not sure if sidewalks are available on coliseum drive where the restaurant is. it would be safe otherwise to walk in that area as it's not near anything else really but otherwise don't go walking around in north charleston. it's one very dangerous place with a very high crime rate, ie top ten in the nation for it's size.
