Ham Morrison – Race Car Driver
I love getting on a boat with my wife and my dogs. I’m a member at Freedom Boat Club so I rent, its great, no hassle and cheaper than boat slip. In town, the Charleston Tea Company on Ann Street is a good place for a non-alcoholic refreshment. D’Allesandros for very cold beer; Oak Steakhouse, for a good margarita.

Michael Rabin – Restauranteur (Andolini’s and Juanita Greenberg’s)
How do I stay cool? I stay away from ovens… If someone visits me, I take them restaurant hopping, and to the Ladson Flea Market, I never miss a weekend.

Anna Linesch – Baking assistant Sugar Bake Shop & Charleston Cooks and quiche maker for Hope and Union.
In the summer I ride my bike everywhere to catch a nice breeze. And you have to dress for it…nothing with color. Everything is flowey and short… the least clothes possible. I don’t know, with the heat you have to embrace it, have a mojito and some fresh salsa in a bathing suit. Good tank tops? Hampden Clothing and American Apparel are good spots.

Cyrus Buffum – Charleston Water Keeper
I look at different pollutions that are effecting our water so I am out on the water and in the sun a lot. I like the rivers…the Wando and Ashley. When you get up past the industries in those hidden tidal creeks, especially if you are there early in the morning, the water is just flat calm and its you and your surroundings…its gorgeous.

David and Ivy Sheppard - founders of the band South Carolina Broadcasters
We play fiddle, guitar, banjo and sing “Old Time” music which is any country-type music before bluegrass, mostly from the 20s, 30s and the civil war. In the summer. We like to dress up in 1920‘s wool gabordine and play old time music. You can hear us at the farmer’s market and at Piccolo Spoleto.

Maurice Davis – Training to be a professional runner
I’m vegetarian, in the summer, for energy, I like to eat at Daily Dose on James Island… the ‘oh my goodness’ with rice, beans and avocados is my favorite, and I drink a lot coconut water from Earthfare.

Travis Jervey - Former running back for Greenbay, The 49ers and the Falcons. Now runs a football camp & coaches at Wando.
In Greenbay it was so cold, they would say ‘put your cows in a low lying valley so their ears and tails don’t fall off.’ Now I’m home and married with two kids. We go to Sullivan’s or Isle of Palms, then Taco Bell for bean burritos… perfect hot weather food….6 burritos for $4.34…The key is not to get a drink. Training for the Super Bowl we would take ice baths for soar muscles. Sit in a bathtub full of ice for twelve minutes. That will bring your body temperature way down.

Mama Kim (Kim Onam Brown) – Owner of Mama Kim’s restaurant
I’m in my kitchen all the time. In the summer, I put apple and cucumber in my water and keep working. If I had a day off, I would go to Kiawah and sit under an umbrella on the beach.

Drew Fuller - actor/artist. (the famous Trevor LaBlanc on Army Wives filmed here in Charleston.)
I go to the Terrace theatre, what better way to beat the heat! The type of movies you can see there are the type that really inspire me. Charleston has some of the best golfing…I play anywhere they let me on… Rivertown, Kiawah. And, I surf as much as I can, its okay, its not great but its better than nothing… Folly is like El Porto (L.A. surf break) without waves.
