Charleston: Joggling Boards
One of my favorite things about Charleston is the joggling boards that adorn most porches and gardens all over town. If you are unfamiliar with what a "joggling board" is, it is basically a long bench that bends and bounces when you sit on it. At the end of a long board are two rockers to support the weight of the bending board. These things are so much fun to sit on! I have one on my porch and love sitting bouncing on it when the weather is nice. One of the most common places to spot a joggling board is in front of Hyman's Seafood, as several joggling boards line the entrance to the restaurant.

I've always seen that bench outside of Hyman's, but had no idea it had a real name!

i have always loved joggling board. My grandmother passed away when I was young, but my favorite memory was sitting on the joggling board with her in the garden! They are great.
ReplyDeleteLove! This makes me want to come visit and play on your joggling board!
ReplyDeleteI love the joggling board outside of Hyman's, especially since people always have to wait so long, only on the weekends, so I need something to entertain myself!! l0l.
