Are you just going to stick with the same old routine, same rules, same boundaries? Just imagine what you could do if you kicked away your comfort zone (one small nudge at a time...)

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.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! With the holiday season officially upon us, we've pulled together a go-to guide for the weeks ahead; from Thanksgiving fun happening TONIGHT right on through New Year's

I can't resist that old-team draw of the Brooklyn Nets. Here's my take on $16 million Deron, lazy Joe Johnson, jail-ball-playing Wallace, and why no serious athlete should date a Kardashian

Somehow, my mom and I went from watching Star Wars together to teaming up for nine milers... Family just has a way of nudging you to do more than you thought you could

Lacing up my sneakers for my first game with the North Charleston Recreational League, I found myself part of a new team... a new family, in fact.

We all know the old-school safety tips for the year's scariest night... But are you up on the latest and greatest digital tools for 21st-century trick or treating?

One fellow blogger called this her "favorite post so far on Grit." What do YOU think?

Topic A (Tyler Boone's new release, upcoming gig, and marketing scheme) + Topic B (Will local King City Records rule our airways?) = The Big Question: What does it take for a local band to make it?

I love street people. They're friendly, candid, neighborly folk. Recently, I enjoyed top-notch football banter with (and got a top-notch haircut from) my Spring Street friends

Okay (gulp) we admit it... we women can get a little competitive. This Grit gal turned the spotlight on high, handed us a mirror, and said, "Hey! Cut. It. Out."
