What a fabulous event! There were costumed greeters and motivational speeches. No matter what you think of Google the "entity" or the "imperialist" - they sure know how "to throw down," as we say.

Jody Only was on hand reporting for LowcountryToday.com. Read her "Only in the Lowcountry" report and check out the pics from the Google Grand Opening Gala Event.
