A Slice of Bluffton Then and Now, Dispatch No. 1
As part of the Lowcountry Chronicle project, we’re going to publish the posts from the Bluffton Then and Now public Facebook group in website form so they have a permanent home to live in case Zucky decides to pull the plug one day.
Here’s our first batch of dispatches from Bluffton Then and Now. We hope you’ll join the public Facebook group to get a fuller view of the place we make our home.
The Store on Calhoun, 1979 and today
The Rate or Cut Rate on Bridge St. Early 1980s and today. Built in 1946 this building was used as everything from an ice cream parlor to the town post office.
Nickel Pumpers, early to mid 80s and today. (Notice the sign in the top picture showing McCracken High school which was on Pritchard street at the time.)
Calhoun Street town dock early 1900s and today. It was very common at the time for Bluffton to get its provisions via steam ship.
“The Cottage” restaurant on Calhoun Street, 40 years ago and today.
