Greater Charleston Naval Base Memorial — Attraction in North Charleston

i was stationed in charleston, aboard the uss charles f. adams ddg-2. i so much remember pier papa (P) and i also remember entering the harbor passing the docked mine sweepers... there were a few times i went to the base pub. was ok. the bands played too much beatles crap... lol

i really enjoyed downtown charleston. every time i had the weekend off, a few of us would rent and share a room across from the citadel... the managers only request was that all of us didn't use the pool at the same time since only one paid for the room...............(too funny)

i very much remember the three nags saloon where they had a record player and you could use both their records or ur own

i saw man walk on the moon in shorty's pub, on the strip, just outside the base gate...

another memorable moment was when we saw a hells angels girl walk by...my friends said look at that...i said probly a lesbian.................she decked me............................OMG

finally..............for years i drove limousine in nyc for nbc/universal/the today show.... one of my passengers was from charleston.... i was remenicing when she said that it was her dad who owned all of the taxi cabs outside of the base gate.

It’s a safe space and a relaxing park to sit and watch the sunset while eating some dinner at MOMO’s. MOMO’s is also a place to enjoy and eat outside with the sun going down. Love their burgers. Went to MOMO’s for my...
