dates back thousands of years. There's also traditional Scottish
garb, music, dancing in a very social one-day event. For
information, call 843-552-2563.

finest chefs at the second annual ChazzFest at the Family Circle
Tennis Center on Daniel
Island, Sept. 22nd. This cozy outdoor venue is a favorite
for concert-goers and is ideal for the sultry sounds of jazz
that will fill the air along with outstanding culinary flavors
as well as an assortment of crafts displays and workshops
celebrating the traditions of Southern culture. For ticket
information, call 843-554-6060.

beauty of Charleston's historic landscapes an living spaces
shows forth in the Preservation Society of Charleston's 31st
annual Fall Tour of Homes and Gardens, Sept. 27th through Oct.

CHARLESTON TRIVIA
Charleston lies on a fault
line known as the Woodstock fault, which geologists have
determined was caused by a subterranean lava "bloom" that
cracked tectonic plates millions of years ago. The adjusting
layers caused a severe earthquake in Charleston on August 31,
1886, destroying hundreds of homes throughout the city and
damaging many more. Because of the shaking effect that the
earthquake shocks had in knocking down walls in many homes,
thereafter a number of houses in the city were adorned with
metal rods passing through joists and connected by bolts on
outer walls. These earthquake bolts can be seen in the form of
stars, crosses or round plates on many older homes around
Charleston.
