Hilton Head Monthly Magazine

‘No, No, No’

Dear Editor,
We have been going to Hilton Head for 35 years and own a small condo in Sea Pines. Hilton Head now has major competition that did not exist years ago in terms of beach destinations, family cruises and other golf and tennis resorts. First, Hilton Head lost the Family Circle Cup and now probably the Heritage. It is time for Hilton Head to think outside the box for additional summer attractions. Sea Pines in Harbour Town has a large unused area and kids’ play center. My husband called with ideas for that area and other unused places. You would have thought he wanted to build a strip bar — the “no, no, no” and “ordinance, ordinance, ordinance.” Well there you have it: Nothing “new” in Hilton Head. So the tourists will try another beach.

Arts Center Thanks

Dear Editor,
Congratulations to Monthly on its beautiful “Nutcracker” cover, as well as the excellent article about the Hilton Head Dance Theater’s 25th anniversary. This wonderful story was very informative and will surely be of interest, especially to new residents who aren’t familiar with the great traditions of the Hilton Head Dance Theater, the excellent work of Karena and John Carlyle, and the committed dedication of its board.
Hilton Head Monthly and the Frey family have always been so supportive of the arts, and that means a great deal to those of us who provide cultural arts programs to the area.
Bravo!

QUIET, PLEASE

Dear Editor,
I am no essayist, but here is a cartoon I did in a roaring rage as leaf blowers ran six hours a day for two days. I couldn’t even hear on the phone in the house. It happens 52 weeks a year.
That’s quality living there! What can you do?
