Isle of Palms

I went into the old downtown theater a little bah humbug, hoping the revelry of it all would turn me back out onto Queen Street buzzing with Christmas spirit. Hmmm... did it work?

I prefer to have my birthdays pass by stealthily... Or do I? Simple gestures go a long way, especially on a special occasion... but my oh my how those gestures have changed over time...

When done right, getting high can be a very, very good thing. Therapeutic, even. My wife and I did so the other day--from Sullivan's to Seabrook, we were way up there. Here are 15+ pics from the trip

So summer's over—time to pack up the swimsuit and stay inside? Heck no. Early fall's the perfect time to hit the water and try your hand at my newest obsession: SUP yoga. Here's why...

You may know of the West Ashley guitarist and singer Skye Paige (and if you don't, keep on reading)... but did you know she's with a new band? Get the scoop, and where to see them play TOMORROW, here

On Tuesday, three rehabilitated sea turtles swam home from IOP County Park. Here are 15+ photos of the big event...

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

The summer 2013 music scene is STOCKED with must-see shows (The Lumineers, Fun., The Killers, etc.). Find these—plus best-bet venues, the Grit team's summer playlist picks, and a badass boombox—here!

Hundreds of Charleston "rogue runners" are playing hooky from work today in a "black ops marathon" that omits red tape, adds three bridges, and includes plenty of beer on Folly

My eldest daughter once vowed that she would never do two things: Listen to Elvis' "Blue Christmas" ever again or wear a black one-piece swimsuit. Here's how I schemed to have her to do the first

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)

One of our very own Grit gals WOWS on the pages of Charleston magazine's August issue—you won't believe these photographs (or this super spa of a master bath)

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

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...

Two reality shows later, these former "Bachelor," "Bachelorette" contestants (... rejects) have found true love, tying the knot here in the Lowcountry

I had the pleasure of publishing a column on John Brannen recently. John is shooting the film right now for his movie Midnight Rain, which I also hope to cover, minus mosquitoes and alligators
