Slow Runner and Rachel Kate Gillon put on a haunting, mind-blowing show at the Circular Congregational Church—tambourines, goosebumps, acoustic sets, lasers, and lots of reasons to love live music
Cured bacon mini BLTs, oysters with spinach, asiago cheese, brandy, and garlic, chicken pot pie... I've got the rundown on Stars (after giving them the requisite time to open up and settle in)
Did you know that too many carbs can literally sugar-coat the skin (and not in a good way...)? And what happens when you skimp on sleep? Here are my quick fixes...
Here are my five favorite places to grab some grub... (AND kick a hangover and be a better person and shout at strangers about football). Here we go....
Beer is, at its heart, a social drink, is it not? So pull up a stool and meet your brewer—here's a quick list of South Carolina (mostly Charleston) breweries that offer tours. Go! Shake their hands...
Known as "The Gentle Giants," I found this semi-famed band of Clydesdales earlier today at The Pig in Belle Hall Shopping Center. Did anyone else see them?!
I have ideas, including Jason Isbell, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and the viability of a tribute band named ZZ Topless. Plus, we'll discuss which are better—real or fake. See? I have ideas...
While touring Callie's Biscuits' new home, I found black pepper-bacon buttermilk biscuits, homemade jam, and pimiento cheese. Mmmmm. Another notable finding? THE perfect holiday hostess gift
I scouted out local talent Sarah Boyts Yoder's latest collection at the Michael Mitchell Gallery—in it I happily found a hairdo à la Georgia O'Keeffe, baby britches, and color and crosses aplenty
All a writer needs is a pen and pad... A dog pen and four padded hoofs, that is. Lowcountry authors go fetch some puppy love at tonight's book release (bow-WOW) to benefit Charleston Animal Society
There's a new anti-croakies, skip-the-cargo-shorts, no-more-visors menswear movement happening in Charleston. Enter fitted blazers and slim-fit trousers and dressing like you mean it...
My advice for taking in Friday night's show at the Music Farm, in a mere 20 Tips or Less. Really, buy me a Guinness and follow my advice. Only some of it though... Most of it doesn't even work for me
The holiday season got off to an early, swinging start with the Charleston Jazz Orchestra's "Holiday Swing" show at the Charleston Music Hall last Wednesday. If you miss it, here's what you missed
I took my six-year-old son to see a local performance of Shrek: The Musical last night—here are the hilarious highlights, including mention of CofCer John Kresse. See the final show today at 2 p.m.
Me, I've got a whole list... the half-hand waves down a country road, good storytellers, the Saturday morning breakfast clubs, the never-forgotten landmarks. Now it's your turn....
Soon, I may be able to stomach snow globes and Bing Crosby, but I'd love to wrap up my August to-do list first. Let's get started anyway... with a little flour and fluff for your Thanksgiving table
Okay, looking for an amazing brunch (or just good bread) on James Island? Baguette Magic will knock your socks off, and if you're like me, you'll end up fighting your spouse for "sharing bites"
Sometimes healing comes from the most unexpected places with the most unexpected people. Mine came from the pool at MUSC and lots of wise folks who've seen more, done more, endured more than I have
A couple neat pics from Saturday's market, begging this Thanksgiving Week question... Are YOU thankful for broccoli? How about the rest of Charleston's winter bounty?
Why not draw inspiration from a single design element? Reclaimed wood is my current go-to for good-looking rooms and just-right juxtapositions (think paneled walls and sleek metal accents)
