Proposal could stop chain operations from opening doors in Avondale

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 03.10.2021

BY SKYLER BALDWIN

A small community sprawling from the intersection of Magnolia Road and Highway 17 harbors a unique and unassuming-atfirst-glance local charm that cascades into a vibrant and colorful scene with each step along its art-splashed walkways. It’s that vibe that one local advocacy group is trying to protect with a new proposal.

An idea pitched by Lowcountry Local First would establish an ordinance that would prevent new branches of formula businesses from planting roots in the Avondale neighborhood.

“It’s such an independent community, business-wise,” said Lauren Gellatly, the group’s interim executive director. “That’s such a part of the identity right now, but there’s nothing there to ensure that will always be the case.”

The bustling West Ashley district is characterized by its dozens of locally owned businesses and their brightly colored walls.

A ‘sense of warmth’ “It’s pretty obvious that Avondale is already operating like a one-of-a-kind little Main Street,” said Charleston City Councilwoman Carol Jackson, who represents James Island. “As far as I know, from the support of the constituents there, they want to do everything they can to help Avondale as it is to be a success.”

Gellatly said Jackson has been a supportive voice for the project within city leadership, along with the area’s city council representative Ross Appel, who did not reply to requests for comment.

LAUREN GELLATLY SAID LOWCOUNTRY LOCAL FIRST HAS A TRACK RECORD OF HANDLING SIMILAR MEASURES IN THE AREA

“What makes it so special is the hardworking small business community, of course, and people love that we’re not big chain stores and the uniqueness of each restaurant,” said Debbie Nelson, who owns Gullah Gourmet, located a block off the main drag. “Having that sense of warmth when you walk in the door — it feels safe.”

Nelson said her gift shop is one of a few in the area that are still locally owned. Many are now corporate, or have been driven out of business by larger companies like Amazon, she said.

“Having to compete with something like Olive Garden isn’t good for any of these businesses,” said Al Di La bar manager Mike Crimmins. “This proposal is something I would love to see move forward.”

Formula businesses, those with a standardized service or merchandise for at least 10 other national locations, are often stiff competition for locally owned small businesses that can’t keep up with the prices or supplies of chains. And during the COVID19 pandemic, mom-and-pop businesses have had it harder than ever.

“Small businesses are bleeding out right now,” Gellatly said. “Anything we can do to give them a leg up in this environment is something we should be seriously considering.”

Areas like Avondale haven’t had to compete much with chains; instead, business owners and community members have enjoyed an almost entirely local business district. But, that does not mean it will remain that way.

“I feel like we are in the right direction as it is, but certainly it could totally change if a large chain were to occupy one of these spaces,” said Verde owner Jennifer Ferrebee.

“We’ve been lucky that that hasn’t been the case as of yet.”

The idea is echoed by Gellatly.

“Of course, we always get comments like, ‘Avondale will never be full of chain businesses,’” Gellatly said. “But, we’ve seen it time and time again that chain businesses want to swoop in and locate in a vibrant area, so to say it can’t or won’t happen is just not realistic.”

According to a report from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR), which analyzes local business statistics nationwide, formula business zoning is a longterm method for communities looking to support their small businesses, especially during the pandemic.

AL DI LA BAR MANAGER MIKE CRIMMINS SAID HE WANTS THE PROPOSAL MOVE FORWARD

VERDE OWNER JENNIFER FERREBEE SAID AVONDALE IS LUCKY TO HAVE NOT HAD TO COMPETE MUCH WITH CHAINS YET

According to the ILSR, a growing number of cities and towns have begun enacting policies that restrict the foundation of formula businesses.

“Having saturated malls and other shopping areas, many formula retailers and restaurants are increasingly locating in downtowns and neighborhood business districts,” an ILSR report reads. “Because they all like to follow one another, it’s not uncommon for formula businesses to arrive in an area en masse, squeezing out independents and causing a speculative run-up in rents that results in the wholesale transformation of a business district almost overnight.”

That sort of large-scale migration can have long-term economic consequences, ILSR said, as the community loses its distinctive appeal and offers no further opportunities for independent businesspeople. Formula business zoning doesn’t prohibit a national chain from setting up shop, but it does force

them to open a coffee shop that is distinct from all of its other outlets, retaining a sense of uniqueness in the area.

“Formula business zoning is an incredibly effective policy tool that’s been around for about two decades now and in place in more than 20 communities across the country ranging from very small neighborhoods to very large cities,” Gellatly said.

They have a track record here, Gellatly said.

Administrator Aaron Pope. “We feel like here on the island we have a unique commercial district, referred to as ‘Funky Folly.’ It’s our own little beach atmosphere, and that’s the root of the ordinance.”

The flexibility to define your own terms is one of the strongest selling points of formula business zoning, allowing policy to be tailored to specific communities at a minute level.

“The community can really come up with their own definition for what the ordinance is and what they govern,” Gellatly explained. “You can frame them so that new formula businesses are strictly prohibited.

Or, the other approach you can take is requiring that formula businesses have to obtain a special exception.

“That wouldn’t mean they can’t locate there,” she said. “It just provides an extra step that gives the community a chance to weigh in and say, ‘You know what, we really need a Starbucks,’ or they can say, ‘We don’t need a Starbucks; we already have local coffee shops.’”

Like Avondale, Folly Beach wasn’t being squeezed by big business, but city officials were looking to protect the character of the area, Pope said. “We were fortunate that here on the island itself, we may not

A community effort Some variations of this sort of ordinance are in effect as close to home as Folly Beach and Sullivan’s Island. Folly Beach’s formula business ordinance was enacted in 2018 after the proposal by Lowcountry Local First, but as with all such ordinances, it isn’t the same as any other.

“Our ordinance is a community character ordinance,” said Folly Beach City

have been under a tremendous amount of pressure from national or even regional businesses,” he said. “In one way, it was prevention from a problem that wasn’t yet knocking on our door.”

Jackso said the policy needs to be precisely targeted to be effective. “You use your scalpel and design something that really fits the community and the goals of people who are proud to support their local establishments,” she said.

“We, of course, would love for it to be a community-focused process,” Gellatly said.

“We first and foremost serve the local business community; we want them to weigh in on how this might look.”

And so far, it looks like multiple businesses in the area have firm ideas of what makes Avondale special, and precisely what aspects of the community they are attempting to safeguard.

“The family-orientedness of the businesses directly around is what makes the community so unique, and it also comes from all the people that live here too,” Ferrebee said. “There’s so much good energy shared by all the people that live in Avondale and who walk to the businesses there. Anything we can do to help preserve that really makes sense, given the dynamic of Avondale and the community there.”

Gellatly is currently in the process of a first draft of the proposed ordinance, which she plans to discuss with the city’s West Ashley Revitalization Committee in May. Until then, the timeline is a bit fuzzy, but folks interested in discussing the policy can look forward to a more hands-on period of time closer to the meeting.

“We are excited about doing more outreach in the area,” Gellatly said. “We are already having conversations with some business owners and residents, and in addition to the City Council and West Ashley Revitalization Committee, we are looking forward to the process of these community conversations.”

SC SENATE BILL COULD PHASE OUT SUBMINIMUM WAGE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES BY 2024

6

A South Carolina law that allows disabled people to be paid less than minimum wage could be phased out under a bill filed by a Republican senator earlier this month. If passed, the state would employ a task force to establish a three-year plan that would “phase out subminimum wage by August 1, 2024,” a press release said.

“No one in our state should be paid less than the minimum wage,” said the bill’s author, Sen. Katrina Shealy, R-Lexington, in the release. “Our state needs to get on board with this. It should be equal; if you work in South Carolina, you should be paid at least minimum wage.”

Under the 80-year-old federal Fair Labor Standards Act, businesses are allowed to pay adults with disabilities less than the federal $7.25-per-hour minimum wage. As of 2020, approximately 1,200 S.C. adults with disabilities were making less than the federal minimum wage, according to the release.

The federal law is not applied the same everywhere, with federal Department of Labor initiatives like Employment First that aim to change how people with disabilities are treated in the workplace.

South Carolina is not one of them, but this new legislation would go a step further if passed, effectively reversing the Fair Labor Standards Act in the state.

Advocacy groups like AbleSC are fighting for change in the workplace for adults with intellectual disabilities. Last year, AbleSC director of employment programs Sandy Jordan told the City Paper that people with disabilities often end up in “sheltered workplaces” after turning 21, where they not only make less than minimum wage but are also not given the chance for upward mobility.

“In 2021, our approach to employment for people with disabilities should not be the same as it was in the 1930s,” AbleSC executive director Kimberly Tissot said in the release, adding that the bill’s passage would create a plan for people to transition out of sheltered workplaces rather than putting them out of a job. “Our society has changed, and people with disabilities have adapted and innovated.” —Parker Milner

DOMINION SOLAR ENERGY PROPOSAL COULD DIM SC MARKET

Dominion Energy’s South Carolina customers with solar power systems could face higher bills under a new proposal before state regulators this month.

The energy utility says the additional fees are designed to account for differences in how solar customers are charged, ensuring they are sharing infrastructure costs with non-solar Dominion ratepayers.

But, solar energy industry and conservation advocates say the regulatory move could kill the state’s solar power market by raising costs for customers who invest their own money in renewable energy.

At issue is a proposal that would add hundreds of dollars to the bills for Dominion’s residential solar customers each year.

Dominion and its critics have been jousting in front of the S.C. Public Service Commission (PSC) for months. A formal public hearing on the issue is scheduled for March 23.

A 2014 law limited solar generation in the state to 2% of the state’s peak-time capacity. By 2019, as the state got close to the limit, state legislators threw solar companies a lifeline with the Energy Freedom Act. The law forced utilities to allow more solar and set a May 31, 2021, deadline for regulators, utilities and solar companies to settle on a way forward.

About 11,000 Dominion customers maintain residential solar energy-generating projects in South Carolina, which is less than 1.5% of its total 750,000-ratepayer customer base, according to the company.

Currently, those customers are able to use any power their systems generate within their own systems and sell any excess energy generated back to Dominion with a program known as net metering.

Dominion’s proposed “solar choice metering tariff,” laid out in the Energy Freedom Act, would add two monthly fees

to residential customers’ bills: a $19.50 “basic facilities charge” and a “subscription fee” of at least $16.20, based on system size. With an average-sized residential system, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association, that subscription could add up to $558 per year.

The new fee proposal would decrease the value of residential net metering by 55%, according to Timothy Beach, a California energy consultant who served as a witness for conservation and solar advocates intervening in Dominion’s request before the PSC. Dominion notes solar customers must pull power from the grid when their panels cannot generate electricity, a cost that can’t be overlooked.

“The reality is that solar customers on our system still rely on non-solar generating sources 75% of the time, and it’s only fair that they share the costs for safe, reliable generation,” according to a statement provided by Dominion Energy spokesman Paul Fischer.

Energy advocates and industry executives say the higher prices could drive out companies that have already invested in expanding solar capacity in the state.

“You cannot decrease the value of that metering by 60% to the consumer and expect as many of them to say, ‘Yes, I’m going to invest thousands of dollars, or tens of thousands of dollars for commercial into this effort,” said Frank Knapp, who is intervening as an individual solar customer.

Don Zimmerman, the CEO for Charleston-based Alder Energy, was also skeptical in his testimony to the commission, calling the proposal “disastrous” and “industry-killing” for residential and commercial customers alike.

“Only one conclusion can be drawn: (Dominion) intends on punishing businesses that want to generate their own electricity,” he said. —Sam Spence

SC SUPERINTENDENT PLEADS TO STOP TRANS SPORTS BILL, GOP REPS ADVANCE IT ANYWAY

South Carolina’s top education official asked a House subcommittee last Wednesday to stop a bill effectively banning transgender students from school sports, saying it would make it harder to ensure all students feel protected on campus. Minutes later, the Republicancontrolled committee gave the OK for the bill to move ahead.

State Superintendent Molly Spearman, also a Republican, was the last person to speak to the House Judiciary subcommittee after hours of testimony on H.3477.

“I felt I had to call you today to give you my stance on this bill,” she said, explaining that she had just watched her hometown’s women’s basketball team win the state championship earlier in the day.

The proposal, similar to many being considered SPEARMAN across the country, forces schools to designate sports teams by gender and bans transgender students from participating according to their gender identity if it is different than their sex at birth.

“My responsibility as state superintendent is to make sure that every child, every child feels protected when they are in school, and when they are on the athletic field. And, I believe that this bill does damage to that,” she said.

Currently, South Carolina High School League policy considers any questions about participation individually. The bill’s House sponsor, Rep. Ashley Trantham, R-Pelzer, told the City Paper last week there have been no instances or complaints over transgender women participating in school sports in South Carolina.

“It’s a very sensitive personal situation that needs to be looked at individually,” Spearman said, praising the league’s handling of the policy. “This is not something that we need to legislate from Columbia.”

The subcommittee voted 3-1 to advance the bill to the full House Judiciary Committee.

Folly Beach state Rep. Spencer Wetmore was the only Democrat present at the meeting and the only vote against the bill. Republicans present, including Moncks Corner Rep. Sylleste Davis, North Charleston Rep. Chris Murphy and Greenwood Rep. John McCravy, voted to give the bill a favorable report to the committee. —Sam Spence

BLOTTER O’ THE WEEK

One woman was seen “walking suspiciously” inside a downtown convenience store. For once, this descriptor was on target, since the woman had stuffed her pants with a couple bottles of MD 20/20.

BY SKYLER BALDWIN ILLUSTRATION BY STEVE STEGELIN

The Blotter is taken from reports filed with Charleston Police Department between Feb. 24 and March 1. No one described in this section has been found guilty, just unlucky.

The scariest phrase to be uttered at roughly 4 a.m.: “I know you ain’t trying to break into my apartment.”

We suppose it’s only scary if you are, in fact, trying to break into someone’s apartment. After all, it did get two would-be burglars to jump from a second story balcony and drive away.

Moms around the world were vindicated when a stolen vehicle was found being driven by a juvenile smoking a blunt.

They were always right, marijuana is a gateway drug, and it leads right to stealing cars.

The weather is warming up, so people are stealing bicycles again. Our first victim, a downtown woman, had her mountain bike snagged right off the rack it was chained to. We can only hope that winter returns soon, and local cyclists can feel safe again.

A collection of building materials including brass valves, primers and distribution cups were stolen from a lockbox at a downtown construction site. Stay tuned for a special Blotter where we total up the cost of all these stolen building supplies and see how close our thief is to their completed Lowcountry beach house.

The owner of a Tesla was told by a downtown bartender that someone in a 2009 Hyundai Accent had just hit their car and traded paint before fleeing the scene. Let’s be honest, if our ’09 Hyundai had even looked at a Tesla, we’d be out of there too.

A woman being given a field sobriety test after a traffic stop was given the chance to repeat the line walk if she took her high heels off. Spoiler: Nope.

Police noticed a man sip from an aluminum can on a downtown sidewalk and immediately pour it out upon seeing the officer. The can was later determined to be Steel Reserve Hard Pineapple, the worst flavor. We think the cops are jumping to conclusions that they had anything to do with the guy dumping the can.

Officers detained a West Ashley man after discovering more than $3,000 in cash, a jar of marijuana and a black handgun in his car. The man reportedly explained, “I like to smoke weed.”

At least one handgun was stolen from a downtown vehicle, and three handguns were stolen from a single upstairs bedroom in a West Ashley residence.

An officer pulled over a West Ashley vehicle and approached the driver’s side window, but before he could explain the reason for the stop, the driver admitted to having a jar of weed in the back floorboard.

Smooth.

Save Lives Pass responsible gun legislation, close the Charleston Loophole

M

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 03.10.2021

ore than 2,000 days have passed since a white supremacist slaughtered nine people in the basement classroom at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston during a Tuesday night Bible study. Yet, our federal government has done nothing to fix the legal lapse that let a murderous racist buy the gun used to take those lives. Nine lives. Countless families and friends affected. Two thousand days. Zero action from Congress.

It’s past time to change that: Close the Charleston loophole.

Just as U.S. Rep. James Clyburn did days after the massacre, he has again introduced a bill to strengthen federal background checks that could have prevented the purchase of the pistol used at Mother Emanuel that violent night.

Current federal gun check laws allow sales to go through if the FBI has not completed a buyer’s background check within three days. That’s how Dylann Roof got his gun, despite the fact that a simple check would have flagged his purchase.

Clyburn’s bill would extend the waiting period to 10 days — a policy fix that responsible gun owners endorse.

Clyburn’s proposal represents basic, emergency reform to the 27-year-old National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) — crafted before mainstream adoption of the internet, when “instant” meant three business days. Not surprisingly, it was the National Rifle Association that pushed for a shorter waiting period in hopes that the technology requirements for such a fast turnaround would cripple the law.

That three-day waiting period remains the law of the land, and more than 75,000 guns have been sold to prohibited buyers as a result of the Charleston loophole, according to Clyburn.

In South Carolina, guns are more popular than ever. In

8

2020 — amid a pandemic, protests and a presidential election — the federal NICS system processed 530,930 background checks in South Carolina. That’s a 62% increase from 2019 and a 400% increase from 2001. In January alone, bookended by the disastrous Capitol rebellion and Biden’s inauguration, 52,622 background checks were completed for S.C. gun sellers, according to the FBI. Another 40,032 last month.

As Congress considers Clyburn’s proposal, leaders in other states have taken matters into their own hands. Lawmakers in Oregon and Virginia have each advanced legislation to ban gun sales altogether without background checks.

But at the South Carolina Statehouse, lawmakers will likely spend this week tripping over themselves to make it easier for people to strap guns to their hips. Republicans have even filed measures to nullify federal attempts to strengthen gun checks.

Meanwhile, legislation by Democratic S.C. Sens. Marlon Kimpson and Gerald Malloy to close the Charleston loophole have been voted down in past years.

Try as they may, South Carolina ideologues are swimming against the current.

“A large majority of Americans, including gun owners, support universal background checks,” Clyburn said, announcing his new bill last week. “This legislation is needed to keep weapons out of the hands of those who should not have them and save lives.”

In the coming weeks, South Carolina Republicans in Washington should join Clyburn to cast votes to end the madness and save lives to curb mass killings like the one almost six years ago in Charleston.

GUEST COLUMN | BY AARON WOOD

Trash Fisher Casting a line to keep Charleston trash-free I set my fly rod up in a few methodical steps, shedding my worries like a monarch before flight. I tie on a fly and approach the water’s edge, looking for signs of feeding fish.

An onslaught of rain has left the water high and dirty, and the promise of high tide ensures it will continue to rise.

Only a minute passes before I spot my first target. It moves slow along the top of the water, winding in and out of the riffles toward me. I ready myself by planting my feet and assessing the best method of execution. I set my rod down, extend my casting arm as far as I can, and snatch a 32-ounce Styrofoam cup from the creek — I look all around for someone to take my picture.

The foam cup is only one of many items. Nearby are a variety of beer cans, the remnants of a chickenneck package, a frayed rope tangled in the oyster bed.

I collect what I can carry home to dispose of, but the progress is not measurable. Plastic bottle caps, cigarette butts and fishing waste abound.

It is becoming all too common for me to see trash everywhere I go in Charleston. The waterways, sidewalks and beaches are all victim to the same problem.

With so much hysteria associated with the banning of plastic bags and the transition to eco-friendly straws, it’s difficult to see the issue improving.

On a recent trip over the Cosgrove Bridge, my jaw

rested somewhere between my shins and thighs as I witnessed dozens of trash bags busted open, lining the roadsides with their contents. A waste truck had lost its load, and while the city scrambled to remedy the mess, a steady wind took its share into the Ashley.

Accidents aside, the bulk of the issue comes down to personal responsibility. While some of the trash can be chalked up as sea refuse washed in from afar, our own community is making ample contributions. Whether dispatched from a car window, blown out of a truck bed, or improperly disposed of, that piece of trash sets the tone for how we experience our city.

If this viewpoint is too dramatic for you, I encourage you to take the casual, self-centered approach of “Not my problem,” the perfect remedy from the ailment of being a mature and likable person. I then encourage you to dispose of your waste on the floor of your house. Your dog will love it. Your neighbors will remark on how you never, ever forget to get your garbage can from the street, largely in part because it’s never there. Upon reaching maximum capacity, I encourage you to stick to your guns, take it one step further and buy a larger house.

With the future of Charleston at stake for a number of reasons, the least we can do is keep its waterways, roadsides and sidewalks clean. As the number of inhab-

itants steadily rises, we must set a standard for how the city should look. I am encouraged by community cleanups and the Clemson fan who regularly picks up Orange Grove Road (bless you, child), but each of us who inhabit this place are responsible for its appearance. In a time when politics and public opinions have left the entire country polarized, I would like to believe we are united in the desire to keep this city beautiful.

Evidence of that beauty arose just this past week when the azaleas began to flaunt their stuff, an indication we have turned a corner and can look forward to spring. The perennial blooms make certain pockets of the Lowcountry a sight to behold as once untamed shrubs transform into bounteous blooms. Trapped in bumper-tobumper traffic, I can do little else but admire the flowers.

But there, at the base of their foliage: a cup, a McDonald’s bag, a soda can trampled and worn. While the beauty of the azaleas remains, it is partially undone by not only the sight of the refuse, but by its quantity.

As the light turns green, I slump in my seat, feeling discouraged, beating myself up for not coming prepared. You knew better, Aaron. You should have brought your fly rod.

here’s an elegance and grace about Kathleen Hay Hagood that masks something you might not expect: She was kind of a klutzy kid.

“I was very accident-prone as a child and am still somewhat now,” the 33-year-old Charleston native recalled while sitting on a sofa in her light-filled West Ashley home.

Most notable was the time during preschool when she broke her leg while walking on buckets as stilts. She had to wear a cast that went to her knee until the bone healed.

Other accidents: She sprained her neck when falling out of a friend’s bed (neck brace required) and also sprained an arm while falling down some steps (soft cast needed).

“I even had a bad burn on my foot from a bonfire on No Name Island on a boat picnic and had to be on crutches for several weeks,” she remembered.

You’d never expect any of this today.

She almost floats through the two-story stucco home where she lives with her husband, Andrew, and toddler, James.

It’s filled with heirloom family furniture, modern pieces and walls punctuated with colorful Lowcountry paintings and art.

On a table are several silver-framed family photographs. Nearby in a bookcase is a silver cup that documents a 2017 victory in a family crab-catching derby.

“I adore our city,” said Hagood, who works as a buyer, salesperson and marketing guru at Croghan’s Jewel Box, a King Street institution started by a great grandfather more than 100 years ago.

“Every day, I wake up and am so grateful to live in this beautiful place. I feel like my appreciation for this place is even greater when I am on or near the water. Sunsets, bright sunny days, marsh grass in the spring and fall, even the smell of pluff mud make me happy.”

Keeping it in the family After graduating from Ashley Hall, Hagood attended Clemson University where she got a degree in marketing. She

then moved to New York City for more than three years, where she earned a degree from the Gemological Institute of America and had an internship with the famed jeweler Cartier. Then, she worked as a sales and production assistant at Seaman Schepps, another respected jeweler of note that had Jacqueline Onassis as a client. As part of the job, she worked jewelry trunk shows and in retail stores from Switzerland and Nantucket.

But, the Lowcountry and her family business lured her back.

“I loved everything about New York, but I felt it was time to be serious,” she said, reflecting on her move back in 2014.

Soon she started dating Andrew Hagood, three years her senior. She knew him from growing up downtown just a couple of houses away, but they didn’t start dating until she came home. It wasn’t too long before they got engaged and then married.

A couple of years ago came their first child.

Through it all, Hagood has worked alongside her mother, Mariana Hay; aunt, Rhett Outten; and sister, Mini Hay Avant. Recently, her brother, Mikell Hay, joined the business where family members and employees multitask to keep it thriving, even through a pandemic.

Hagood works in several roles — sales, buying jewelry and marketing of the business, particularly on social media.

“I became interested in the reporting and buying and how fast things sell and replenishing things,” she said. “They always laugh that I’m the dorky one who likes to study the reports.”

In 2014, Hagood’s sister designed the store’s unique Goldbug line to sell creative gold jewelry featuring gold Palmetto bugs.

The sisters operate the venture, which recently expanded its line to include other natural elements, such as bees and honeycomb designs.

“We wanted to create something with a Charleston orientation that was different from sweetgrass baskets,” Hagood said.

“This golden cockroach now has gotten very famous and become a brand. I just love

Advice for someone new to Charleston: Walk around and explore new areas and streets as much as you can. Every time I walk around town, I find something new and beautiful. Also, get out on the water. Charleston by water is magical!

Your advice for style: I think it’s so exciting to see new styles for each season. Be true to your personal style and find someone to bounce ideas off of. My sister and I are always talking about what we see in shops and online.

Pet peeve: People who are not kind.

The Hagoods make it a priority to spend lots of time with members of the Hay and Hagood families, even though Kathleen works every day with her clan on King Street.

She likes to take walks in her Moreland neighborhood and sit to soak up the sun.

On weekends, the Hagoods are often outdoors visiting with family members on Sullivan’s Island or in the country. When the weather’s good, they may borrow a boat to get out on the water.

“We love going out as a family on adventures together,” she said. “My family has always had boats, and we spend many days each year on the water fishing, going to the beach and riding around.”

These days, she and her husband also spend a lot of time with their son, who turns 2 in April. His presence is easy to discern as he runs and thuds down an upstairs hallway.

“I dream of a growing family,” Hagood said. Laughing, she added, “This little guy has been so wild it has caused us to pause for awhile.”

She also is taking more time to appreciate the little things of life.

“Taking time to enjoy the people and things that bring you joy is crucial,” Hagood said. “That’s what I try to do every day. There’s always something to be happy about. I do think there’s always something to celebrate and be grateful for so many blessings.”

Make summer plans now for a reenergized 2021 vacation FROM STAFF REPORTS

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 03.10.2021

Itching to go on a real vacation and end the year-long pandemic stay-cation? The months ahead offer plenty of opportunities to get out and go. Whether you head to an outdoor escape or simply cozy up with loved ones while enjoying beautiful surroundings, vacation is on the minds of many.

What they’re thinking of is what they missed last year, including visits with family members. A new survey shows 44 percent of travelers who had a trip canceled due to COVID-19 are planning to reschedule the same vacation they would have taken in 2020.

And 54 percent of respondents who want a redo said they were looking forward to going to that destination, according to the 2021 Vrbo Trend Report. One in three, in fact, said the main reason they want to go on their next trip is to spend quality time with family.

Here are some vacation trends to keep in mind as you plan your next vacation:

16

FIND FRESH AIR Heading to the great outdoors for adventure has long been a popular form of travel, and that desire will likely reach new heights in 2021. After a year of isolation and uncertainty, many families are seeking the serenity and escape of the wilderness.

Three in five families say they are likely to drive instead of fly and that they are likely to visit an outdoorsy destination instead of an urban one.

According to the survey, four of the top five emerging destinations for 2021 are near lakes, rivers or streams where families can camp, hike and fish. Near the top of the list is Albemarle Sound, the gateway to North Carolina’s legendary Outer Banks where bald eagles, peregrine falcons and other storied birds are abundant.

Also making the list in the South is the Red River Gorge in Slade, Kentucky, which is near Mammoth Cave National Park.

A much longer drive is the area around Emory, Texas, where

Trips to lakes and rippling streams are increasingly popular.

Lake Fork offers a top fishing spot for catching largemouth bass, and the area is also home to the A.C. McMillan African American Museum.

“Four of the top five emerging destinations for 2021 are near lakes, rivers or streams where families can camp, hike and fish.”

COZY IS KING The search for coziness and comfort is nothing new for travelers. The pandemic has only heightened the need for a place to relax and unwind. Many travelers looking for an escape are opting for cabins and chalets, which provide inviting spaces to make family memories while also recharging the proverbial batteries.

Typically nestled near mountainsides, forests and lakes, cabins and chalets offer open spaces so families can leave behind the hustle and bustle of everyday life while being surrounded by natural beauty, which has led to an increase in demand for cabins by nearly 25 percent.

Looking for ideas that are just a few hours away from the Lowcountry? Check out South Carolina’s diverse and verdant state

parks. Or head to the other Carolina’s mountains where cold streams bubble as Charleston bakes.

A DREAM VACATION MAY BE ON THE AGENDA After a year of canceled trips, families may have found a new appreciation for travel and have a sense of urgency to finally take that dream vacation.

When travel eventually returns to preCOVID-19 levels, many are thinking big – 65 percent of survey respondents said they planned to travel more than they did prior to the pandemic. A third said they were willing to spend more money than they traditionally would and 54 percent said they are more likely to book that bucket list vacation.

Among those willing to increase their vacation budgets, 46 percent said they planned to travel farther away, 55 percent said they’ll stay longer and 48 percent said they have nicer accommodations in mind.

Tips for preparing indoor plants for spring

BY TONI REALE, ROADSIDE BLOOMS With consistently warmer temperatures on their way to the Lowcountry, now is the time to prepare your indoor plants for spring. During the winter months, indoor plants slip into a state of dormancy; their growth slows down significantly as does their need for water and nutrients.

But in the next month or so, indoor plants will wake from their slumber and be eager to regenerate and grow. Here are some useful tips to set up your indoor plants for success as they transition from one physiological Reale state to another: Ensure your plants are not in distress. Your winter care regimes hopefully have kept your plants healthy and happy during dormancy. This is a great time to recheck each plant for any pests, quarantine if necessary and treat them. If pest control is overlooked, your plant will likely not survive and worse, may spread pests to your other plants.

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 03.10.2021

Assess and restock your potting materials. Soil is literally the foundation of a plant’s ecosystem. Take the time to research soil brands to ensure they source their materials sustainably, and then stock up locally. We recommend the North Carolina company, Good Dirt. Get a bag or two of lava rocks (depending on the number of plants that you have in your collection) for drainage and a bag of activated charcoal to help prevent mold and some insects. Add some new pots to your collection if any of your plants are ready for a larger pot or if you want to change up your collection’s look. Pro tip: You can find great pots in local vintage stores such as The Station Park Circle, Old Hat Vintage or even Goodwill. Remember to clean them thoroughly before use.

Repot or pot-up? Most plants benefit from repotting about once a year, and the best time to do this is in spring. Repotting means to refresh a plant’s soil and “potting-up” means putting the plant into a larger pot as it grows. Before embarking on any re-potting or potting-up endeavors, evaluate each plant and determine if your plant has outgrown its current container.

According to Good Earth Plants, a few sure signs that you need to move your plant into a larger pot include roots coming out of the bottom of your pot, visible soil shrinkage, mineral or salt build-up on the top of the soil or on the outside of the pot.

You can inspect as you water them a couple of days before you

repot as you’ll want your plants perky and hydrated before you work with them. If you believe your plant is ready for the big move, be sure to only go up a standard pot size. For example, if your plants are in a 4-inch-diameter pot then move up to a 6-inch diameter pot. The Sill suggests if your new pot is too big, then too much soil paired with too much water will lead to root rot.

Get to the root of the matter. Whether you’ve determined that your plant is perfectly happy in its current pot size or if it’s time to move up a size, follow these steps.

1 With care, remove the plant from its pot.

2 Loosen up the roots by gently massaging them and letting old soil fall away.

3 Cut any rotten-looking roots. If the roots are tight and balled up, you can trim them so that they fit into your current pot or expand in a new, larger pot. We recommend not trimming more than one-third of the root mass.

4 Compost old soil from the pot and clean it out.

If potting-up, be sure that the container is clean.

5 If the pot you are using doesn’t have a drainage hole, add about 1 inch of lava rocks to the bottom to aid in drainage as overwatering is the number one cause of death for houseplants in our experience.

6 Consider adding a thin layer of activated horticultural charcoal to stave off mold, fungus and odor on top of the gravel or lava rock layer.

7 Add some soil to the pot leaving room to create a space for your plant.

8 Carefully nestle your plant into the space you created. Add soil around and on top, filling in any air pockets. Firm up the surface by gently pressing down with your fingertips. The top of your soil should be about an inch below the rim.

9 Water your plant about half as much as you think you should and without soaking.

Be patient. As your plant adjusts to its new surroundings, you may notice it decline a bit before it thrives. After a plant is repotted, it will need a little time for the roots to heal, according to Pistils Nursery. To care for your plant in this tender stage, place it in an environment that has a little less light than it typically requires. Additionally, hold off on watering for about five days (depending on plant type) to allow the plant to adjust.

On propagating. Repotting is also the perfect time to propagate your plant. Some plants are easy to divide as you loosen the soil; others take a bit more care. Research the most successful ways to propagate each specific plant. Don’t get discouraged if your propagation doesn’t root. Each propagation is an experiment and never guaranteed to work.

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): Artist Richard Kehl tells this traditional Jewish story: God said to Abraham, “But for me, you would not be here.”

Abraham answered, “I know that Lord, but were I not here there would be no one to think about you.”

I’m bringing this tale to your attention, dear Aries, because I think the coming weeks will be a favorable time to summon a comparable cheekiness with authorities, including even the Divine Wow Herself.

So, I invite you to consider the possibility of being sassy, saucy and bold. Risk being an articulate maverick with a point of view that the honchos and experts should entertain.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Spiritual author Ernest Holmes wrote, “True imagination is not fanciful daydreaming. It is fire from heaven.”

Unfortunately, however, many people do indeed regard imagination as mostly just a source of fanciful daydreaming. And, it is also true that when our imaginations are lazy and out of control, when they conjure delusional fears and worries, they can be debilitating. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I believe the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to harness the highest powers of your imagination — to channel the fire from heaven — as you visualize all the wonderful and interesting things you want to do with your life in the next nine months.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I’m always waiting for a door to open in a wall without doors,” wrote Gemini author Fernando Pessoa. Huh? Pessoa was consistently eccentric in his many writings, and I find this particular statement especially odd. I’m going to alter it so it makes more sense and fits your current needs. Here’s your motto for the coming weeks: “I’m always ready to figure out how to make a new door in a wall without doors, and call on all necessary help to make it.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can’t drive to the Kamchatka Peninsula. It’s a 104,000-squaremile area with a sub-Arctic climate in the far east of Russia. No roads connect it to the rest of the world.

Its major city, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, is surrounded by volcanoes. If you want to travel there, you must arrive by plane or ship. And yet PetropavlovskKamchatsky has long had a thriving tourist industry.

More so before the pandemic, but even now, outsiders have come to paraglide, hunt for bears, and marvel at the scenery. In this horoscope, I am making an outlandish metaphorical comparison of you to the Kamchatka Peninsula. Like that land, people sometimes find it a challenge to reach you. And yet when they do, you can be quite welcoming. Is this a problem? Maybe, maybe not. What do you think? Now is a good time to re-evaluate.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Biting midges, also known as no-see-ums, are blood-sucking flies that spread various diseases. Yuck, right? Wouldn’t the world be a better place if we used science to kill off all biting midges everywhere? Well, there would be a disappointing trade-off if we did. The creepy bugs are the primary pollinators for several crops grown in the tropics, including cacao. So if we got rid of the nosee-ums, there’d probably be no more chocolate. I’m guessing that you may be dealing with a comparable dilemma, Leo: an influence that has both a downside and an upside. The central question is: Can you be all you want to be without it in your life? Or not?

Now is a good time to ponder the best way to shape your future relationship.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to my analysis of your imminent astrological potentials, you already are or will soon be floating and whirling and churning along on an ocean of emotion. In other words, you will be experiencing more feelings and stronger feelings than you have in quite some time.

This doesn’t have to be a problem as long as you do the following: 1. Be proud and appreciative about being able to feel so much. 2. Since only a small percentage of your feelings need to be translated into practical actions, don’t take them too seriously.

3. Enjoy the ride!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Poet Wendell Berry said “it’s the immemorial feelings” he likes best: “hunger and thirst and their satisfaction; work-weariness and earned rest; the falling again from loneli-

By Rob Brezsny

ness to love.” Notice that he doesn’t merely love the gratification that comes from quenching his hunger and thirst. The hunger and thirst are themselves essential components of his joy. Work-weariness and loneliness are not simply inconvenient discomforts that he’d rather live without. He celebrates them, as well. I think his way of thinking is especially worthy of your imitation in the next three weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Famous and influential science fiction novelist Philip K. Dick relied on amphetamines to fuel his first 43 novels. Beginning with A Scanner Darkly, his 44th, he did without his favorite drug. It wasn’t his best book, but it was far from his worst. It sold well and was made into a movie featuring Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr. and two other celebrity actors. Inspired by Dick’s success without relying on his dependency — and in accordance with current astrological omens — I’m inviting you to try doing without one of your addictions or compulsions or obsessions as you work on your labor of love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ninety percent of all apples in the world are descended from a forest of apple trees in southeast Kazakhstan. Most of us have tasted just a few types of apples, but there’s a much wider assortment of flavors in that natural wonderland. You know how wine is described as having taste notes and aromas? The apple flavor of Kazakhstan’s apples may be tinged with hints of roses, strawberries, anise, pineapples, coconuts, lemon peels, pears, potatoes or popcorn. Can you imagine traveling to that forest and exploring a far more complex and nuanced relationship with a commonplace food? During the coming weeks, I invite you to experiment with arousing metaphorically similar experiences. In what old familiar persons, places or things could you find a surprising wealth of previously unexplored depth and variety?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author Andrew Tilin testified that he sometimes had the feeling that his life was in pieces — but then realized that most of the pieces were good and interesting. So his sense of being a mess of unassembled puzzle parts gave way to a deeper contentment — an understanding that the jumble was just fine the way it was. I recommend you cultivate and enjoy an experience like that in the coming weeks, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Indian poet Meena Alexander (1951–2018) was born under the sign of Aquarius. She became famous after she moved to the U.S. at age 29, but was raised in India and the Sudan.

In her poem “Where Do You Come From?,” she wrote, “Mama beat me when I was a child for stealing honey from a honey pot.” I’m sorry to hear she was treated so badly for enjoying herself. She wasn’t committing a crime! The honey belonged to her family, and her family had plenty of money to buy more honey. This vignette is my way of advising you, in accordance with astrological omens, to carry out your personal version of “stealing the honey from the honeypot,” dear Aquarius. Take what’s rightfully yours.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The bad news is that the narrow buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea is laced with landmines. Anyone who walks there is at risk for getting blown up. The good news is that because people avoid the place, it has become an unprecedented nature preserve — a wildlife refuge where endangered species like the red-crowned crane and Korean fox can thrive. In the coming weeks and months, I’d love to see you engage in a comparable project, Pisces: finding a benevolent use for a previously taboo or wasted part of your life.

Homework. If you have a question whose answer might be interesting to other readers, send it. Maybe I’ll address it in the column. Truthrooster@gmail.com

LIVING DEAD IN DENMARK HAD TO GET CREATIVE WITH COMBAT AND ROMANCE SCENES DUE TO COVID-19 REGULATIONS

Death Match Living Dead in Denmark pits zombies against Lady MacBeth, Ophelia and Juliet

PURE THEATRE STREAMING DAVID LEE NELSON’S CANCER-COMEDY STAGES

Living Dead in Denmark is an actionhorror follow-up to Hamlet. A zombified King of Denmark returns from the grave with an undead army to reclaim his throne. The only thing stopping him is Lady MacBeth, Ophelia and Juliet, newly resurrected by Fortinbras.

“It’s Shakespeare, but it’s completely divergent from Shakespeare,” director Chad Henderson laughed. The play definitely has a nerd-culture edge to it, like Shaun of the Dead meets Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

The play features some of the hallmarks of playwright Qui Nguyen, who rose to prominence for the nerdy meditation on loss and acceptance She Kills Monsters. Blood and profane language are sometimes thrown around amid martial arts battles, while characters speak in one-liners. But, Living Dead in Denmark had the good grace to throw in Shakespeare … and pop tunes.

Some stories just sell themselves.

“There’s a lot going on in the show,” director Chad Henderson said. “There’s moments of intimacy, there’s moments of combat, there’s moments of zombie attacks.”

The Evil Dead and Stanley Kubrick, alongside loads of zombie media, were the main

influences for the latest production, according to Henderson. “If it had a zombie in it, I kind of looked to see,” he said. “It’s been a cinematic inspiration for theater.”

Because of the College’s rules regarding safety, including actors staying 6 feet away from each other on stage, the cast and production team had to get creative with how to handle romantic and close-quarters combat scenes. Henderson said the solutions for these problems were a mixture of practical (longer weapons) and artistic choices.

“We’ve tapped into the ability to change the style of the staging to where every actor is facing downstage,” he said. “It’s almost like you, the audience, are choosing your own adventure of whose point of view you are in. You just engage with the character you want to at the moment.”

But, since the play takes place during a plague, and the world is still experiencing its own diseased reality, Henderson thinks there are parts of the safety protocols that enhance the experience. “For our purposes, I think the masks totally work because there’s context to give it some weight and makes it more appropriate,” he said.

Living Dead in Denmark, originally published in 2008, precedes Nguyen’s more critically lauded work, like She Kills Monsters.

The latter play found a home on stages around the nation thanks in part to its heart and its narrative that partially explores a character’s troubles coming out of the closet. While Living Dead in Denmark may not get as deep as She Kills Monsters, Henderson noticed a big motif of awakening throughout the story.

“Ophelia and her cohorts, Juliet and Lady MacBeth, were brought back into the world, a world that they don’t recognize, and they all have to temper their trust with each other,” he said. “I think it’s strangely relevant right now considering the heated nature of how politics has become in our country, our trust of each other when it comes to public spaces, COVID safety. Everything is new to us.”

Living Dead in Denmark will be livestreamed through the College of Charleston’s Theatre Department. To purchase tickets, head over to theatre.cofc.edu. For more information, email cofcstages@cofc.edu or call (843) 953-6306.

Stages, David Lee Nelson’s comedy about his early onset cancer diagnosis, is available to stream on PURE Theatre’s website now until March 20.

The play is based on the real life experience of Nelson, a South Carolina native and comedian who was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer at the age of 38. During his chemotherapy, Nelson wrote a blog about the experience, and turned it into a solo show.

Stages received widespread acclaim, especially among South Carolina critics, for its ability to make audiences laugh in the face of uncertainty.

Nelson died in September 2020 at the age of 42.

Tickets for Stages can be purchased online through a pay-what-you-want donation to PURE Theatre. Ticket buyers will receive a link to view the play after purchasing a ticket. The play will only be offered March 5-20, so viewers must stream it during that time period. —HE

The Principle Gallery is hosting a two-person exhibition featuring the work of Christie Younger and Jeff Erickson this month. The exhibition will run through March 31.

Younger, an impressionist painter, created 15 still-life paintings of flowers for the exhibition that portray a contrast of simple and complex. Younger said in a press release it’s intimidating to be next to big artists in galleries across the Southeast, but showed confidence in her abilities to succeed. “One day I will be one of the established noteworthy artists because I’m in it for the long haul,” she said.

Erickson, who created 15 works of abstract landscapes and seascapes, is drawn to the sea. He attempts to capture the textures of life in his minimalist paintings. “I visited museums across the world, and soaked in images of the landscapes I was fortunate enough to travel,” Erickson said. “My art developed out of these experiences, with an eye towards texture and abstraction.”

Principle Gallery is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

a la carte DAPS DUO ADDS GHOST KITCHEN SERVING SANDWICHES, HOT DOGS

Two Hands

Daps Breakfast & Imbibe owners Nick Dowling and Jeremiah Schenzel are putting their spin on Italian and meatball subs, hot dogs and more with Mama’s Boys Sandwich Emporium, a ghost kitchen that will operate out of the 280 Ashley Ave. space Daps calls home. Mama’s Boys is now open for takeout Monday through Friday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., and the duo will venture out for pop-ups at other local establishments, Dowling and Schenzel told the City Paper last week.

The menu features four staple sandwiches, including the pepperoni, salami, ham and provolone “Italian-ish” sub and classic meatball, both of which are served on an Amoroso’s roll from Pennsylvania. For hot dogs, Dowling and Schenzel will start with four: classic, chorizo and chili, “Mama’s Dawg” with tomatoes and carrot slaw and the vegan “Curry Dawg-ish,” made with chickpeas. According to Schenzel, making Mama’s Boys a “ghost kitchen” will provide him and Dowling a creative outlet outside of breakfast hours.

“When we felt that our list of sandwich projects was getting out of control, we started looking at launching something else,” he said. “Hence, Mama’s Boys.”

Spanish-inspired tapas and charcoalgrilled plates land in hospital corridor

BY PARKER MILNER

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 03.10.2021

Those who frequented Nimbo Pizza before its October 2019 closure will be pleasantly surprised the next time they walk by 161 Rutledge Ave., which has been transformed into a refined eatery with bright lights, streetfacing bar seats and Texas white oak floors.

The reimagined interior, designed and renovated by veteran Charleston chef Trae Wilson, is now home to Laurel, a joint venture between Wilson and Joe Thomas serving Spanish and Portuguese inspired fare.

Wilson, known for previous establishments like Granville’s Cafe & Catering and Grand Rooster Restaurant, first visited the space shortly after the onset of the pandemic, he told the City Paper.

“We came down here at about 7 o’clock on a Friday night,” Wilson recalled. “I’ve been in Charleston, downtown, for 35 years, and the vibe was just right.”

It’s true — the chef does know his way around the streets of downtown Charleston.

After first opening Granville’s on Beaufain Street in 1992, Wilson relocated the cafe and catering business to Wagener Terrace where it remained a staple for 11 years in the building now occupied by Park Cafe.

Wilson doesn’t think he’ll ever retire. “I’m past that mark,” he said. But, the restaurant veteran seems invigorated by Laurel, which will serve small plates (pinxtos), medium plates (tapas) and main dishes cooked in a 935-pound Josper charcoal grill Wilson installed himself — he has the scar on his forehead to prove it.

28

LAUREL SERVES SMALL PLATES AND MAINS COOKED IN A 935-POUND CHARCOAL GRILL

“I’ve handled double convection ovens, and they only come out to 600 pounds or so,” said Wilson, who hit his head on the grill’s pry bar while bringing it into the kitchen. “It was a stressful afternoon — 935 pounds is really, really heavy.”

The chef completed nearly 100% of the construction on the property himself, adding in a new bar, floors, tables and lighting, finishing the space with special touches like prints from local artist Jill Hooper. The restaurant’s design mimics those found in Europe, Wilson said, and the dinner menu will touch parts of Spain and Portugal with dishes like piri piri chicken, octopus with romesco sauce, lamb meatballs, marinated mussels and more.

“A good friend of mine lived in Madrid, so I was in Spain a lot, and I just fell in love with it,” Wilson said. “We’ll go from Galicia to Madrid to Barcelona — I love it all.”

Most of Wilson’s menu will utilize the charcoal oven, a Spanish-hybrid product that can get up to 550 degrees.

“When you combine an oven and a grill, you get the best of both worlds,” Wilson said. “Romesco will be one of the main sauces, and we’re finding more and more that everything can be done in there.

Whether you’re doing cast iron or you actually grill it, the flavor is incredible.”

Laurel will offer classic Spanish-style beverages to pair with Wilson’s menu. Look for a curated wine list, sangria on tap and cocktails made with mixers from Brent Sweatman of Sweatman’s All Natural, who installed kegs of his tonic, ginger beer and pear juice behind the bar.

The restaurant opened last Thursday, and will serve dinner Monday through Friday and lunch and dinner on Saturday. Moving forward, Wilson and Thomas plan to make takeout a big part of Laurel’s offering by serving bocadillos — traditional Spanish sandwiches — daily for lunch.

“Long term, we’re going to add a second concept, and it will be bocadillos, all to-go,” Wilson said. “I think we can do a tremendous amount of to-go for (the Medical University of South Carolina), and it won’t tax the restaurant. I think it will service MUSC really well because they don’t have a lot of time anyway.”

The man who has spent nearly four decades in the food and beverage industry has learned a lot over the years, lessons he’s bringing to Laurel, where he’s built a team of passionate individuals.

“We’re trying to build a family. It’s just such a taxing business, and it just wears you down,” Wilson said. “You work all the time, so you have to have that family element to make it work.”

After not using its kitchen for seven years, downtown dive Cutty’s is making food one of its main attractions in March with a five-day weekly lineup of local chefs. Look for vegan, Lowcountry, Japanese, Spanish and Italian cuisine from Sunday through Thursday starting at 6 p.m.

The Cutty’s kitchen sat vacant for all those years — aside from a brief fourmonth stint where it served sushi — general manager Sarah Griffith told the City Paper, but the pandemic gave them a reason to fire up the burners again.

Each month will feature a weekly lineup of pop-ups that will take over the kitchen on specific days, and Griffith said she’s already booking folks for April and May. The lineup in March will be the following: Sundays: plant-based cuisine from Atoon owner Justin Booher (Amor Healing Kitchen) Mondays: Lowcountry fare from Middleton Made Cuisines owner Marcus Middleton Tuesdays: Japanese hot dogs, ramen and burgers from Yoko’s Dirty Dogs owner Ian Miller (Delaney Oyster House) Wednesdays: Spanish-inspired dishes from The Castejons owners Alfonso and Rachel Castejon Moya Thursdays: Handmade pastas and red sauce from Lupara owners Mason Morton and James Ostop For more information, follow Cutty’s on Instagram @cuttyselliotboroughbar. —PM

JEFF KOZELSKI’S LATEST LP, COLLECTOR, BENEFITS FROM THE YEARS HE’S SPENT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW, RANKY TANKY TO PLAY AROUND THE BEND’S 2ND SEASON

Song Collection Kozelski returns to the limelight with new LP

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 03.10.2021

Jeff Kozelski is a Charleston-based songwriter, musician and producer best known for his work in recent years with the bands King Hippo and The Outervention. But, the multifaceted guitarist’s latest band, named after himself, has been chugging along with new music, like the recently released LP, Collector.

“I think it’s funny to go back and listen to my old bands. Some of it sounds great, and some of it makes me wonder, ‘How the hell did someone not stop this from being made?’ My approach in the King Hippo days was to write complicated dance songs that we would rarely play correctly,” he said. “With The Outervention, I wanted to write more heartfelt songs that weren’t that ‘jammy.’ ” Kozelski is more enthusiastic about his latest project that took shape in the wake of various band breakups. This mostly fluid outfit always includes a handful of likeminded friends and affords Kozelski the opportunity to continue his own evolution as a songwriter.

“When I started Kozelski, I just picked the people I really enjoyed being around after playing with tons of different little side projects.”

It’s no secret that local mainstays Wes Powers, Alan Brisendine and Jon Moore are

“I would say as somebody that has been in the music business for over 20 years, I’ve seen its face. It’s going to be good and bad to you no matter who you are.”

—Jeff Kozelski

among Kozelski’s go-to gang. These folks are featured prominently on Kozelski’s Collector, which was mostly recorded close to home at Fairweather studios.

Jaee Bryant’s newest single ‘Paper’ signals a new phase for the rapper. As he told the City Paper, the song isn’t just about money, but it’s about credit, “being an independent boss” and connecting the dots in life.

The track is from Bryant’s upcoming album, which he plans to release April 23.

According to Bryant, the new LP is a shift for him. His previous projects have discussed mental health and his growth as an individual, but the upcoming album will be a “summertime mood.”

The new single, which was created along with Kingg, gives hints at what to expect on the upcoming album, including a new sense of collaboration. “I’m really starting to reach out to artists across the board,” Bryant said.

Bryant has also slowly been transitioning his clothing and lifestyle brand Never Say Ruin into a record label. Check out ‘Paper’ at charlestoncitypaper.com or Spotify.

This particular batch of songs also benefits greatly from Kozelski’s many seasons spent honing his craft.

“My technique for songwriting is in a constant state of change,” he explained. “I have all the old guitar influences tugging at my fingers, and those things are mixed in with all that I’ve learned about song composition, guitar theory, new bands and the world.”

Several of the songs on Collector are based on moments Kozelski has witnessed during travels. “ ‘Cold Dice’ is about a homeless woman that pulled out all her hair in Haight-Ashbury,” he said. “Then the song, ‘Clever Devil,’ deals with addiction and relapse. Most of my songs have moments that I connect with, but then again it’s hard to remember what I was thinking at the time of conception.”

These are strange days for the record business, but there will be performances to promote this product nevertheless, Kozelski said. For instance, there is already a live-feed show planned for March 23 that will be streaming from the Kozelski Facebook page and other digital platforms.

“I would say as somebody that has been in the music business for over 20 years, I’ve seen its face. It’s going to be good and bad to you no matter who you are,” he said.

Around the Bend, the Charleston Music Hall’s social-distanced outdoor concert series, will kick off its second season April 10 with a performance from Robert Earl Keen. The new season will feature some famous faces, like “Wagon Wheel” performers Old Crow Medicine Show, and Grammy Award winners Ranky Tanky.

Here’s the full schedule: April 10 - Robert Earl Keen April 11 - Ranky Tanky April 17 - Reggae Night at the Bend: A Special Tribute to Toots & The Maytals May 7 - Charlton Singleton and Friends present: The Sizzling ’70s May 13 - Blackberry Smoke May 14 - Yacht Rock Revue May 22 - Old Crow Medicine Show June 5 - The Steeldrivers Around the Bend is a social-distanced concert series that takes place at the Bend, located at 3775 Azalea Drive in North Charleston.

A ticket to the event gets up to four people access to a sectioned-off square giving you ample room to throw out a spread to enjoy during the show.

Doors at the Bend will open at 6 p.m. for every show, and music will start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online.

Tickets go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Friday. —HE If you or your band is about to enter the studio, hit the road, or has a special gig coming up, contact Heath Ellison at heath@charlestoncitypaper.com.

CLAYTON JAMES’ LATEST SINGLE, “BURN,” INTRODUCES HIS UPCOMING PROJECT

A Dark Joke Clayton James is gearing up for his next album titled Crash and Burn. He introduced this upcoming project by releasing the new single ‘Burn’ March 7 on Spotify and Apple Music. The musician took time during isolation to learn how to make beats for his music, pulling inspiration from artists like Massive Attack and genres like trip-hop.

“I was trying to think of music that can be enjoyed alone, since all of us were subjected to that for so long,” James told the City Paper.

James faced the hardships many musicians saw during the pandemic. He released the album Rise and Shine last February, which was meant to be a more hopeful EP. “We

were on tour on the East Coast when we found out about how bad COVID was getting, so when we had to lockdown everything our momentum was totally crushed,” said the musician. The title of the upcoming EP is supposed to be a “dark joke” playing off Rise and Shine, James added.

“Lyrically I wanted to address everything that’s going on with COVID and how it’s affected so many families and how it’s going to be something we need to deal with for long after this year,” he said. “Everyone’s lost so much since last March, and I just wanted to talk about all that loss, in the way that I do best.” —Katherine Jordan
