I just got back from a 3 day vacation in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. While I was there, I made it a point to get pics of any cool fans I saw. On the way to Charleston, I stopped at the Dan's Fan City in Columbia. The guy that worked there was really nice, and knew a lot about fans. It had been 14 years since I last went to a DFC so this was quite a nostalgic experience for me. Here's some pics of the store and fans:
The front of the store
Just as you walk in
Gulf Coast Uno, couldn't feel much air coming from it
The new DC-3. Apparently they're still working the kinks out of these motors and controls, and this one has issues.
Cool Green/AB Gulf Coast Meridian
Chrome Dixie Belle
Some random shots around the store
And the Dan's Fan City truck!
At the Tanger Outlet Mall in North Charleston, there were a bunch of Quorum Dragonflies in the food court:
Some Fanimation Islanders at R.B.'s Seafood
And there were some Fanimation Brewmasters in the bar area
I Found a Walmart that still has a fan display, of course the fans are still crap
At the Charleston City Market, there were probably a hundred or more of these Hunter Charthouses
Next, at Kilwin's, there were these GE vent fans with hunter brackets (probably replacements) and hunter silent breeze/quiet breeze with non-original blades and brackets
And last but certainly not least, a chestnut brown Hunter Original in the men's restroom at a rest stop near Columbia

I miss it when i was younger when Walmart had better fans in Display in the early 90's then Todays fans. 
wow.. That DC-3 modern thing looks kinda like a Emerson Strato Jet. Very intresting. I like the Chrome Dixie Belle and The Hunter Original.
