Chasing the Black Cabs of Charleston

Chalmers St. 

Some of my readers may be recent enough not to know that I used to hunt the elusive black cabs of Charleston and take pictures of them in their transplanted homeland. It tickled me to no end to see the British cabs in our Lowcountry.

I took so many pictures of them that the owners at that time gave me use of a cab for a morning and let me instruct the driver where to park while I jumped out to get a picture. I steered him all the way out to Folly Beach to get my favorite shots.

I don't see the cabs as much anymore. The company was sold and I believe they are primarily used for weddings and events now. Too bad.
