A day to remember, first and foremost!    Remember the thousands of men and women who fought for our country - our freedom - our rights - our lives!   OUR HEROES!!  These great people will be honored all over the country this weekend in different ways, including our own backyard bar-b-ques. If you are looking for something to do right here in Aiken - here are some ideas: Aiken's Annual Memorial Day Parade will be on Saturday, 5/23 at 1pm -   Starting downtown on Park Avenue at 1:00.   The parade will head up Park Avenue towards Laurens Street - then turn up Laurens Street and head down the center of town.   Come on out and show your support and thanks. How about a Polo match on Sunday!  3pm at the Whitney Field on Mead Ave in Aiken's Horse District.                                      ...

Aiken is truly the most beautiful town I have ever been in and now have the pleasure of living here.  One of the reasons is because of the attention to detail the city has placed on the trees, shrubs and flowers.  Recently the city placed a fine on the a local shopping center because their landscaper trimmed the crape myrtles back too far.  Although I agree they have been trimmed too much, however, I believe a warning to the strip mall, which is located on a major road in town and already has several empty stores, would do the job.  The city of Aiken will up hold their ruling and the struggling shopping center will have to fork over the money to replace each of the trimmed trees.  Has everyone in government forgot their role?  The government is here to protect the people, not pass their...

The Fridge - yup, William Refrigerator Perry.   Former Chicago Bear.   Da Bears!   Did you know he was a local guy here in Aiken.  Born and raised :)   Being a 'football girl' I knew it before we even moved here!                                               Well, he has been in the hospital for the past couple of weeks - but thankfully this morning his condition has been upgraded to 'fair'.  He had been in 'serious' condition - so this upgrade is great news.   He is suffering from Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a chronic inflammation disorder of the peripheral nerves.  Here is the story from our local newspaper.  The Aiken Standard.                                                  He is a very nice man.  I've had the opportunity to speak with William on many occasions.   I used to work part-...
