How much do we love September? After such a hot, humid summer it’s so nice to walk outside and not feel like you have to go right back in for another shower. It’s also nice to be able to get right into your favorite restaurants, and not have to fight crowds every weekend.
A few weeks ago I found myself at Publix at 4 p.m. on a Saturday — a major no-no, because of check in — but instead of complaining, I found myself ecstatic at the crowds of tourists I saw in every aisle. In talking to so many of our clients I know our economy is far from the way it used to be, but this summer seems to have reflected the shift back to recovery.
One thing we all share here on Hilton Head is a love of the surrounding Lowcountry. With interest rates so incredibly low now is a great time to invest in a new home or perhaps buy a second home to rent. But dealing with a rental property can be very overwhelming — so why not put your property with a company who can take the hassle out of the process? Make sure you check out our property management special feature and find the perfect fit for your investment on page 32.
Here in the south September is a perfect month to get married. If you know anyone planning a wedding, make sure to check out our bridal section this month. You will read about one of the most and elegant weddings ever held at Palmetto Bluff, and meet the winners of Monthly’s Bridal Showcase contest, both in huge photo spreads that start on page 119.
There’s plenty more to page through in this month’s issue, including a look at cell phone service on the island, our annual Locals Guide to area attractions, the introduction of Todd Ballantine’s new column “Secret Places” and much more. Sit back and enjoy September with Monthly!
