Out with the Old

Old is never out in the land where
"The past is never dead. It's not even past."
William Faulkner knew a thing or two about the South.

Most of us will be happy to have 2009 past us. Been a tough row to hoe.
CityTrex has proven our value. Our downloads of tours increased in a down economy - fans of walking tours of Charleston SC and Savannah GA were pleased with the value of an iPod MP3 tour or a smart phone app in enjoying our historic Lowcountry, considered to be THE South.

We're succeeding in our mission to bring "new media technology to traditional industries." Our production and services side of the house (with "house" defined by: laptops + cell phones + mobile broadband) has gained new clients for three slow and steady years. We need to do some fancy branding on that. Good growing pains! Glad to have them!

In With the New.
We have plans in mind...and this involves you.

Until March 2010 we'll offer you a strong incentive to get involved. Try, test, review, reply.

Give us your feedback on our existing tours, share your ideas on new tours (we're always in development), and CityTrex will give you at least a 50% rebate on your iTour purchase. If you're really-really helpful we'll give away the whole kit and kaboodle. Or is that Kitten Caboodle? Get a Tour, Get a Free Kitten? (No, not really). 

If you're super-into it we could give you a job, we're growing and need all the down-home high-tech storytelling / production help we can get. It's a fine art and CityTrex is very good at it. Just ask our customers and clients, they love love love us.

Questions, comments, whatnot participation, just click to email. 

 

. . . and thank you all for playing along.

We get by with a little help from our friends. 

Our market survey results have been praise, support, and encouraging cheers.

Amazing, isn't it? 

Pray for Peace. Wish upon a star.

Now get back to work and make it happen.

Yemassee, SC Town & Country Holiday Home Tour

Nine area homes, plantations and churches on this tour vary in architectural style, age and size, and will offer many varieties of local flavor in the Yemassee, SC area.   The properties represent three centuries of the area's rich history, dating back to the early 1700's. 

Several of the stops opening their doors on the tour offer rare glimpses into the history of the Civil War in the area.  And the homes in Town reflect the Town's heydays of the early 20th century.  

Stops include:  Ebenezer Methodist Church, Huston
House, Old Combahee Plantation, Mays Family Home, Prince William's Episcopal Church, Richfield Plantation, Sloman House, Stoney Creek Independent Presbyterian Church and the Zahler home.  
It is a self-guided tour, allowing visitors to tour the sites in any order and proceed at their own pace.  A light lunch will be served at Richfield Plantation throughout the afternoon
