Bartenders these days just keep getting younger and younger and thank
God because with us old timers wearing our spectacles and frosty bad
attitudes, we need some new blood!
September’s Bartender of the Month is Jordan Zipperer at Wet Willie’s.
At a mere 23 years old, she has so much time to ruin her life like the rest of
us, but in the meantime, she is a fresh-faced, happy, genuinely nice person
that is delighted to see you in her restaurant!
Born and raised on Wilmington, but spending all of her time here, she
technically is a Tybee baby. Jordan left for a minute, but it only took a
minute to realize what a mistake that was. She started out at The Crab
Shack where she was a hostess and a food runner for several years.
Looking for a change, Jordan moved to Wet Willie’s and has been there
ever since.
Of course, I asked the Questions we all want to know:
Tybee Life: Forever
Passion: The BEACH! And Tybee and her people. When you’re in,
you’re in (no kidding there)!
Grow up: Do something good for Tybee and on Tybee. The world is
still an oyster.
Spirit Animal: A Cat - on my time. I love you until I don’t. Don’t touch
me. Why aren’t you touching me? Oh, and lazy.
Installed Super Power: Face and body language reader. Knows
what’s coming either for evil or for good.
To be Installed Super Power: Inspector Gadget Arms
Jordan’s go-to drink (and you’re gonna love it), is the Undone Zipper!
This bad boy is a combination of a Sexy Attitude, some Pina Colada and
a scooch of something else! Good times right there! Make sure you stop
by Wet Willie’s and chat with Jordan. She’s cool and fun and she makes a
hell of a drink!

Behind the Tape…
By Sgt. Richie Dascall
Happy September everyone! It has been a long summer, but thankfully
the end is in sight. I was looking for a good story this month and the
universe provided.
So a few weeks ago I got called to a wreck. While I was going over
there it was changed to a hit and run after one of the cars decided they
were going to run off. I went straight to the accident to make sure nobody
was hurt, while the other two officers working with me started looking for
the car that had run off. Luckily nobody was hurt, but the car that was still
there was totaled in every sense of the word. The two kids who were in
the car were pretty shaken up over how bad their car got messed up.
I started doing my accident investigation, getting everyone’s
information, a description of the other car, photographing damage, so on
and so forth. While I was doing this, the car that ran away drove back by
the wreck. Of course the kids immediately recognized it and pointed it out.
The other officers were on the south end and we were on the north end so
they wouldn’t be able to safely get there in time. I went ahead and took
off after the car that caused the wreck. I got behind him and pulled him
over and he decided he was not going to stop. I hesitate to call this a car
chase, because he was going all of 15 mph all the way to where he was
staying.
Once there, he was arrested and not surprisingly smelled like alcohol.
He was nice enough to admit to everything. I’d like to say this sort of thing
is uncommon but it is actually a pretty regular occurrence. I would never
recommend anybody return to the scene of a crime they’ve committed.
I’m sure everybody wants to know about the status of things like our
VIP program and Drug Take Back. Currently these events are still on hold.
We will update you as we’re able to host them again. Anything you need
or any questions, please reach out.
