So, was talking with a friend recently about the fact that we’ve been at war for 5 years. And today, The New York Times ran a mind-blowing, eerie, albeit creative piece about the 4,000 soldiers who sacrificed their lives over the past 5 years.

Check it out: it’s our 100th blog posting! Cue the parade! What fun! Truly, writing this blog is one of the best parts of my job. It’s been really interesting to watch its evolution. It’s like a journal, but with a little more attitude, at least I hope so. Thanks to all of our [...]

My head’s about to pop off. Not only did Lowndes Grove open Saturday for its first wedding of the season to rave reviews by a most thrilled bride and groom. Not only did The Food Network set up early this morning to film Peninsula Grill’s Chef Bob Carter cooking up his award-winning coconut cake…But shortly [...]

Jitters, we scoff at you! Actually, it’s a buzz of excitement, not jitters that’s permeating every square inch of Lowndes Grove. Tomorrow’s the big day! I think we may be more excited than our lovely bride. This morning, several members of the renovation team met with Robert Behre of the Post & Courier. (Glenn Keyes, [...]
