What in the hell is a Megabanger Garden in Spring? It's part of Grit's rowdy rundown of MUSTS for the 4th, including show times, the best and worst flag swimsuits, and a wicked sweet surfboard

Here goes... All week, Grit will be counting down to the start of Charleston's golden season: SUMMER! Kicking it off is our quick list of DO'S and DON'TS for living it up this summer. Are you ready?

In Charleston, beach season means business... hit the sand with a solid look like Sean Connery in lieu of that unflattering parachute/back-fat look (not good). Plus, the one mistake that trumps all

The Daily Beast just ranked Charleston the #4 Drunkest City in America (ahead of New Orleans AND Vegas, mind you). What do you think? Shall we sober up or belly up and have another?

Did you know that you can actually hang out Folly in the winter? Without all the shirtless and sweaty volleyball games, shotgunned beers, and asphalt-seared feet? Yeah, me neither. Not a bad Sunday...

This week, after the confetti had settled from our big, bad, best-in-the-world Conde Nast nod, she had wise words for us all about what makes our old Southern city a choice place to live

To our tourism cheerleaders at Conde Nast and readers the world over: thanks for the nod. Here's a resident's-perspective rundown of what makes our little big town tops

In getting ready to run the 10K Eco-Run this weekend at Folly, Claire talks triathlons, training, and why signing up for a race can be a great way to streamline your workouts

I headed out to the Billy Reid store event for food, music, and of course, fashion! Also on hand was Rogue Wave Surf Shop's Rhett Boyd Jr. I've got photos and the inside scoop

There's a worldwide fashion event going on next week and Charleston has its own small version of it...Here's my plea for us to step up and make it bigger

Stacy Smallwood and her Hampden team entertained some of the fashion industry's greatest this month. Here's what went down

Here's the real lesson in human nature from the local saga: when we witness our mortality (even through another's) and do what's right in the moment, that's when we really begin to live

Let’s slow our roll a bit and sail into the weekend. The Grit team thinks Renae’s lyrical post—sprinkled with lovely images like “the peekaboo line of fire”—is sure to do the trick

Some things God is a stickler about and sunrise is one of them—a literary snapshot of our shore at first light

Summer's bearing down, surf's beefin up. Time to catch the reading wave with surf sensation Kai Dilling

Last week's "Supermoon" lit up a world of questions I'm not even sure I want answered. After all, perception is (thankfully!) hardly reality...

To say that the inaugural Charleston Bluegrass Festival—put on by Awendaw Green, Sewee Outpost, and The Surf Bar on Folly Beach—was a success would be an understatement. Take a look...
