Doin' the Charleston

When family from out of town comes to visit, one of the things they want to do is walk around downtown.

Tagging along, it's always a revelation to see Charleston through the eyes of visitors and to be reawakened to the wonderful uniqueness that is our city.

This week's Head2Head trivia is going to test your knowledge of how well you know Charleston.

Two-time winner Natalie Young is taking on challenger and student Caleb Logan.

2. What year did the Ravenel Bridge open?
3. What is the name of the cemetery where the crew of the Hunley was reinterred?
4. What is the name of the restaurant where George Washington had dinner on his tour of the South in 1791?

NATALIE'S ANSWERS

1. Oh, not fair. I only moved here a year ago. Is the statue of someone named Marion?
2. Magnolia, right? I've been there.
3. The restaurant's still around? Um, Hyman's. Jk.
4. I don't know about the fountain, but pretty sure you're talking about a pineapple.
5. Colonial Lake.
6. I can picture the sign in my head, but I'm drawing a blank on the name.
7. Lower King somewhere.
8. Captain Morgan.
9. A church?

CALEB'S ANSWERS

1. It's Calhoun.
2. 2005, I think. Over the summer.
3. It's gotta be Magnolia.
4. McCrady's.
5. A pineapple.
6. Colonial Lake.
7. Gaulart & Maliclet. Not sure about the spelling.
8. Wentworth.
9. I'm gonna say Blackbeard, but I know that's not right.
10. Either gonna say St. Philip's or Dock Street. I'm going with the theater.

CONCLUSION

Head2Head really though Logan was going to score a perfect 10 on his trivia, something that has only been accomplished a few times in the past. He got tripped up by Stede Bonnet, aka the Gentleman Pirate. It doesn't really matter, though, because Logan blew apart the competition and will be back next week to defend his title.

In the meantime, go out and walk around Charleston. It's a beautiful city.
