Your go-to guide for all things Charleston this weekend, February 26-28

Bridesmaid Ball at Charleston Museum

Charleston Christmas, fables & traditions. How do "bin yah's" answer those ridiculous questions from "come yah's" Do you ever get snow in Charleston? Duh yeah, when we shake the grits tree! What do you do to get yourself in the spirit of Christmas? Oh, we spend a day at the coast gathering plough mud for making our Christmas ornaments and getting buckets of salt water to make taffy.

Charleston Museum's Annual Family Picnic

The Charleston Museum's Annual Family Picnic invites families to the Dill Sanctuary for an afternoon of festivities. A Sunday well spent, even when kids sort of freak me out.

The Charleston Mayoral Race

On November 3rd, 2015, the people of Charleston will do something that has not been done since 1975: go vote in a mayoral race that won’t have Joseph P. Riley, Jr. on the ballot. For this historical election, I decided to research the candidates to discover more about them, and determine who were my top choices and who I felt needed one more four year term before winning the hottest seat in town.

Thanks Joe!

How, in a city that is heavily stratified by race, income, and history, can one man remain in power so long and remain so beloved? We say thank you to Mayor Joe Riley for forty years of service.

Those Lazy Days of Summer

Summers in the '60s weren't spent in your room, layed out with a tablet and a smartphone. There's hardly a child my age that doesn't remember the saying "you aint' stayin in this house all summer, so go on and get outside." Instructions were few: "don't slam the screen door," and "take your flip-flops off at the door."
