Summer at Governor’s School Album
This album consists of a single picture–but that single picture actually holds a lot of meaning.
King Street an Market Street were basically where the other Governor’s School students (also called Guvies, but that sounds rather silly–don’t you think?) and I spent all of our time outside of classes and the dorms. Additionally, they were a major part of my daily running/walking route (yes I still ran back then). The picture was actually taken my last day on this route.
The closely-packed buildings in the background, the Italian Ice stand, and the one-way sign also scream of Charleston. You may also notice the pi symbol painted on the one-way sign. We saw these things all over the place sometimes along with the phrase “Knowledge is Power,” and decided to attribute them to a possibly fictitious Charlestonian “smart-people gang.”
This picture would make me even more happy if that studid garbage truck wasn’t in the way, but it’s none-the-less one of my favorites.
