Greatest fireplace ever at Poe's Tavern on Sullivan's Island, SC. Also..greatest hamburgers ever.
The honorable writer's birthday is here and for the second year in a row the 60 year old tradition of the mysterious Poe toaster has gone unfulfilled. (See November 2010 post). It appears that the 200th anniversary of Poe's birth in 2009 was indeed the last year that the dark and disguised stranger will make his midnight showing with his offering of roses and cognac to the grave. It is reported that a large group of observers were on hand in hopes he would return this year; one person coming all the way from France. But the crowd, who waited all night in the dark and dreary, was unfulfilled as four imposters came forth (there is a secret signal that only the grave curator knows), but the real toaster was nevermore. (Cruz, Start working on that secret signal...I think it may be time for you to take over).
