Vintage Easter Monday in Jamesville
This
video shows what Easter Monday was like in
Jamesville during the 1960s. It was a community
"homecoming" with lots of people from near and far,
kids sliding down the clay hill behind the Cypress
Grill, fresh herring fished up by the thousands in
the huge seine. |

Jamesville
Cypress Grill Attracts
Artists, too!
It's not just for
fish lovers! The Cypress Grill's "Miss Sally"
and "Mr. Leslie) have
moved into the art world. Both recently were subjects of
well-known South Carolina Low Country watercolorist
Mary Whyte! Sally was painted breading fish and
Leslie was carrying a large tray of freshly-cleaned
fish into the Grill for cooking. The
paintings are part of Whyte's exhibit, "Working
South" and has been featured on on
CBS's Sunday Morning. Fnd it on the Sunday
Morning web site. (Stay
with it. Sally's almost at the end of the feature.)
