Unraveling the history of West Ashley’s Maryville neighborhood

News 07.07.2021

Diane Hamilton, a retired Charleston County Schools history teacher asked what seemed like a simple question: “What did Maryville look like before St. Andrews Boulevard?” The answer was a lot more complicated than she imagined, leading her down winding paths and webs of stories of her neighbors, friends and family.

“I lived here my entire life,” Hamilton said of Ashleyville-Maryville, the historic neighborhood called a successful example of American self-governance by the Avery Research Center. “Of course, I didn’t know until about 10 years ago how historic the neighborhood was. The information was just never taught in schools, and I don’t remember my parents talking about the past in that way.

“But when I started finding answers to my original question, that’s when I found out, there was a pound, there were mayors, a post office — a complete organization.”

Maryville was a primarily Black town after the land was divided and sold cheaply to Black residents. It was incorporated with its own elections, town council and more in 1886, Hamilton found.

And while the charter was short-lived — lost 50 years later in 1936 — the vibrant history of the people who lived there and

still remain is palpable.

Hamilton’s explorations led her to a book project, Maryville: The Audacity of a People, detailing the accounts of her neighbors in Ashleyville-Maryville and their own family histories, memories and her own findings of what the town was like before it was absorbed by Charleston.

“I started finding all this material, and I started thinking, ‘What am I going to do with all this? When I pass, they’ll just throw all this in the trash.’ Then, the idea came to put it all in a book,” she said.

Archives from the then-newly established News and Courier was one of Hamilton’s primary sources of information in the writing of Maryville, alongside local organizations like the College of Charleston’s Avery Research Center.

“The information is out there, it just takes someone with an interest in it to pull it all together,” she said. “You have to have time to go back and read the old newspaper stories — to interview some of the older members of the community.”

The whole process took her on a journey of memory, she said, as she listened to tales from neighbors whose parents owned a corner store in Maryville or went to church down the road about a hundred years ago.

After selling just a couple-hundred copies in the first week of the book’s publication,

One Region, a partnership of regional government and business groups, has released a survey aimed at further understanding the needs of the residents and businesses in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties, along with input on what opportunities leaders should pursue.

The survey is part of One Region’s Opportunities for All roadmap effort, an economic recovery and resiliency plan that seeks to define a healthy Lowcountry while offering solutions, implementable actions and measurable results as the area continues to move forward post-pandemic.

The survey will be available at OneRegionRoadmap.com through Aug. 20. Additional opportunities for engagement and to provide feedback will be announced as they arise.

Diane Hamilton said she had mulitple people reach out to her after her book was published to share their stories she’s found a staggering amount of support and interest from other longtime residents of the historical neighborhood and others.

“I am delighted by the interest, and a little surprised. But mostly very happy,” Hamilton said. “I just wanted to preserve the history and share it, but people from all different walks of life, not just African Americans, have reached out to me for a copy of the book.”

Many who’ve picked it up have approached Hamilton with new stories and information, tugging her toward a second volume, she said. And there’s more than enough information to fill it, as Ashleyville-Maryville con CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

A bipartisan coalition of state lawmakers is looking next year to make a bold effort to revise the state’s 25-yearold law regulating almost 60 charter schools that dot the state. More than 44,000 S.C. students attend the publicly funded schools that operate independently of county school boards.

“No one has been regulating them since the original regs came out,” said state Rep. Terry Alexander, a Florence Democrat who was a member of a special ad hoc House committee that probed issues at charter schools in 2019. It issued a sweeping report in January 2020 that suggested myriad changes to the law, but the coronavirus pandemic put improvement efforts on hold.

This week, the Legislative Audit Council issued a 92-page audit of the S.C. Public Charter School District, which oversees 33 charter schools.

The state’s other authorizer of charter schools, The Charter Institute at Erskine, sponsors 26 charter schools.

“I am not shocked at all about the findings [in the audit],” Alexander said.

“We kind of saw that during our ad hoc committee meetings. No real oversight has been given. That’s why this ad hoc committee came into being.”

State Rep. Raye Felder, a York County Republican who co-chaired the ad hoc House committee, said some charter schools excel, while others have challenges — just like with traditional public schools.

“I anticipate changes to charter school legislation that was created over 20 years ago to include provisions not only highlighted in the [House] report but also shared by administration and parents over the course of the special committee that reviewed the charter school legislation,” she told Statehouse Report.

Charleston Republican Rep. Lin Bennett echoed her colleagues: “Changes are needed. Not just to address these concerns, but to also bring the law upto-date. This is something we hope to do over the summer and fall and introduce when we return to session in January.”

State Sen. Larry Grooms, R-Berkeley, added that he’s heard criticisms of the Public Charter School District (SCPCD) for years.

“For a while, it seemed that the SCPCD became more interested in nitpicking than in providing positive leadership,” he said. “The success CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

‘P&C’ readying move from Columbus Street The Post and Courier will begin the process of moving staff out of its longtime headquarters at the corner of Columbus and King streets later this month, the paper reported last week. The move will allow the newspaper to finally vacate the valuable property its parent company, Evening Post Industries, has been redeveloping alongside the nondescript P&C offices for the better part of a decade.

The newspaper’s newsroom, advertising, marketing and circulation departments will take over space at 148 Williman St., in the Half Mile North development built by Raven Cliff Company.

“We are happy to welcome The Post and Courier to NoMo, a neighborhood which is evolving rapidly to meet the needs of a changing Charleston,” said Raven Cliff CEO Stephen Zoukis in a statement to the paper.

“NoMo” refers to the area’s position along

northern Morrison Drive, a moniker foisted upon Charleston back in 2011 by City Paper staff, among others. For 10 years, Charleston City Paper’s offices were nearby at Morrison Drive and Isabella Street until the paper relocated in 2016.

Printing operations will also relocate from the paper’s Columbus Street complex to space at the World Trade Center development on Leeds Avenue in North Charleston.

That facility is expected to be online by spring 2022.

Once P&C completes its move, initial plans for the area along Line and St. Philip include a senior living facility and a separate apartment complex. Two massive buildings have already been built along Meeting Street as part of Evening Post’s redevelopment: The Guild apartments and the new headquarters for Greystar Development. —Sam Spence

Employees at a West Ashley department store told officers that a pair of men accused them of being rude to them for being homosexual in an attempt to distract the workers while another pair of men stole merchandise. The attempt was equally as unsuccessful as it was confusing.

A downtown man approached patrolling officers and told them he was “too drunk to run anymore.” While they appreciated the honesty and compliance, they didn’t have much to arrest him for until he started shouting profanities at them and passersby.

tinues evolving, moving from a mostly Black town to a more diverse neighborhood feeling the impact of suburban gentrification.

“The demographics of AshleyvilleMaryville have changed drastically,” Hamilton said. “The town was always majority Black, but now Maryville is almost one-third caucasian; it’s common for me to look through my sunroom and see white people walking their dogs or their children riding around on bikes.”

With that change comes the loss of much of what made the neighborhood historically unique.

“There’s been quite a lot of construction as property changes hands from those who’ve lived here for generations, to people and developers with no interest in the neighborhood,” Hamilton said. “They don’t

want to stay here — they go off to big cities and they don’t come back; they buy property here and then just sell it off.”

But some local advocacy groups are at work to preserve historical plots of land in the area and keep housing costs down for those who have spent their lives there.

The St. Andrews Preservation Society, for example, last year moved a historic home in its entirety from its original plot in West Ashley to a protected space in Maryville.

And president of the Maryville/ Ashleyville Neighborhood Association, Hamilton has plenty of opportunities now and still ahead of her to make noticeable improvement in the area.

But, she said, the most important thing for the people who live in Ashleyville-Maryville, both longtime residents and newcomers alike, is to know and understand their own history. And just moving in makes you a part of the history of your home.

of Erskine as an authorizer helped highlight some of the deficiencies at the SCPCD. The LAC audit verified some of those deficiencies.

Grooms said more competition due to two new authorizers would drive more improvements.

“With Limestone and Coastal Carolina coming online as additional charter authorizers, there will soon be even more comparative data that can be used to help drive improvement at the SCPCD,” he said. “The growth in charter school enrollment speaks to the success of the charter school movement. Charter authorizers have a responsibility to help their charters be successful and to shut them down when they fail their students.”

Arrington used a surprise Twitter endorsement from President Donald Trump in the 2018 GOP primary to knock off incumbent Congressman Mark Sanford, who had fallen out of favor among MAGA voters.

Soon after her run, Arrington was initially hired into the Trump administration Department of Defense as a “highly qualified expert,” eventually attaining nonpartisan Senior Executive Service status, Zaid told Bloomberg News.

The probe is reportedly not connected to Arrington’s work on a Pentagon program started under the old administration that is undergoing some changes after being passed on to Bidenadministration officials. —Sam Spence

EDITORIAL

C

onfederates and white supremacists may soon be packed up and whisked out of public view at the United States Capitol — at least in statue form. Each state can commission up to two statues to represent it in Washington in the National Statuary Hall Collection. Both South Carolina’s would be vanquished if a bill passed last week by a bipartisan group of House members makes it through the U.S. Senate.

Figures in the capitol collection are selected by each state from among deceased former residents deemed “illustrious for their historic renown or for distinguished civic or military services,” as laid out in federal law.

A statue of John C. Calhoun, who served as vice president from 1825 to 1832 and whose ideas on states rights helped form the foundation for Southern secession, stands in the Capitol crypt, a gift from S.C. in 1910. The marble likeness of Wade Hampton, the former Confederate lieutenant general who fought to reverse progress from Reconstruction with violent voter suppression targeting Black South Carolinians, is one of the first figures tourists and students encounter in the Capitol Visitor’s Center.

Calhoun is singled out for removal in House Resolution 3005, passed last week with support from Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California. Hampton, as a soldier for the Confederate States, would be plucked from his place as well.

If South Carolina’s statues are ordered to be removed, who should replace the Palmetto State? We have some ideas (in alphabetical order):

Clark is credited with pioneering “citizenship schools” that helped register hundreds of thousands of Black Southern voters and break down opposition in the fight for civil rights.

Sarah and Angelina Grimke - Born into a slave-holding, aristocratic family in Charleston, the Grimke sisters spoke out for abolition and women’s rights from young ages, remembered today among the earliest intellectual leaders in the cause for women’s suffrage.

Ronald McNair - Growing up in Lake City during a time when NASA astronauts were national celebrities, McNair defied racial norms to become an MIT-educated physicist and one of America’s first Black astronauts. In 1985, McNair was one of seven crew members who died when the shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after takeoff. The landmark federal McNair Scholars program today provides financial aid for underrepresented students in math and science.

William Moultrie - Outgunned and fighting from an unfinished fort built from packed earth and palmetto logs, Moultrie’s regiment of untested colonial soldiers saved Charleston from British capture in 1776 at the Battle of Sullivan’s Island, in the early days of American Revolution.

Today, we celebrate Carolina Day in honor of the battle at the fort that now bears his name.

South Carolina’s long history is full of leaders who would represent our state well, but Clark and Moultrie capture the unique and complex South Carolina story. The U.S. Capitol serves as “America’s classroom,” as U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn said Septima Clark - A Charleston-born teacher and activist, Clark fought for racial equity and community empowerment. last week. “And we ought to be teaching in this hall, that which As a leader in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, is wholesome about this country.”

OPINION

New challenge: Read the Declaration of Independence By Andy Brack Now that the fireworks and festivities from the Fourth of July are a new memory, how about taking a bolder, more reflective step to celebrate the true spirit of America? Find a quiet spot and seriously consider the 1,339 words of our country’s declaration against tyranny, our Declaration of Independence.

and bludgeoned the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

But they conveniently forget the cautious words that followed. Perhaps they missed that day in civics class. Or maybe they were so hellbent on getting their own way that they were blinded by the wisdom of colonial leaders who first focused not on a violent overthrow of power, but on reason and intellect to devise a new system to create a safe nation where all could pursue happiness:

Better yet: Sit down as a family and read it out aloud together.

Just six months ago, a bloodthirsty mob misused and misappropriated the fundamental principles enshrouded in American freedom by trying to rip apart our democracy in favor of the very tyranny which our forefathers fought in the fields of Camden and King’s Mountain, the swamps of the Lowcountry and forts from Ninety Six to Sullivan’s Island.

You may know by heart the opening words of the document penned by Thomas Jefferson and others that espouses the values of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” You may remember the part that follows and discusses how it’s the people’s right to alter or abolish a government that fails, which is oftcited by those who threw the destructive tantrum

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”

The Declaration continued by offering a list of abuses by the King of England. As you read of compounding restrictions that denied liberty to colonists, it should dawn on you how our forefathers eventually corrected those abuses with a constitution that created a representative democracy that became the world’s beacon of freedom, a continuing experiment in liberty that changed

The Declaration is remarkable in another way.

It frames the patience of colonists who wanted better lives for their families.

the course of humankind.

Furthermore, the Declaration is remarkable in another way. It frames the patience of colonists who wanted better lives for their families. Compare their years of endurance to get redress of their grievances to the volcanic violence that erupted in the halls of freedom over a few hours in January.

In 1776, 56 men from 13 colonies signed the Declaration of Independence. The oldest was Benjamin Franklin, then 70, of Pennsylvania; the youngest was Edward Rutledge, 26, of South Carolina.

The document ends like this: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

That’s the difference between what happened back then and this year: One was bound with honor, community, faith, goodwill and justice.

The other had none.

GAME ON CHARLESTON’S TABLETOP STORES ARE READY FOR A RE-ROLL

Feature 07.07.2021

By Michael Smallwood

o ur Tuesday-night adventuring party is coming by, and you need the right dragon figurine to finish the dungeon you’ve been preparing all week. Or it’s Friday night, you’ve got your black and red Magic deck and you’re looking for competition. Maybe you just want to sample a new version of Azul before introducing it to your friends during your weekend board game meetup.

You need a place to go.

Charleston’s tabletop gaming scene is served by a number of local stores that have you covered, no matter what your game of choice is. Perhaps you’re a traditionalist who likes board games. Here Be Books & Games in Summerville might be your go-to destination. If you love card games like Magic: The Gathering or Yu-Gi-Oh, then perhaps you frequent Zenergy Gamers in Goose Creek, The Final Quest in North Charleston or Final Round Game Shop in Summerville or West Ashley. If you’re looking for dice and miniatures for your roleplaying campaigns, then The Green Dragon in North Charleston has you covered.

Tabletop games are communal experiences that draw dedicated participants

into close proximity. Social distancing is unheard of in a gaming store, where two or more people are usually sat across a table from each other, poring over cards or a map. When the pandemic forced everyone to stand apart and shelter in place, many local hobby stores found themselves in a difficult situation.

“You’d be hard pressed to pick a category of industry and find that it wasn’t affected greatly by what happened last year,” said Andrew Braun, owner and operator of Zenergy Gamers. “With game stores specifically, the challenge was the gathering part. I mean, it’s literally in the name of the most popular item. So when you took away the gathering, it really caused a lot of us to question how we best survive.”

Not only were places shuttered for a few weeks, but they faced new restrictions once things started opening back up. Wizards of the Coast, one of the largest tabletop gaming companies in the world and license-holder for Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, placed an hold sanction on all officially recognized tournament events, effectively putting Magic: The

Tabletop games like Warhammer 40k (left) and Magic: The Gathering (above) have loyal followers who invest a lot of time and money into the pasttime Gathering on hiatus. Other card companies like Konami, which owns Yu-Gi-Oh, followed suit. Game stores were unable to hold official event nights and lost out on a big drawing point for bringing in players to their shops.

The internet also provided a new roadblock. With stay-at-home orders in effect and capacity limits on most gatherings, many board games and roleplaying games moved online. Sites like Board Game Arena and Roll20 allow players to connect and play from the safety of their homes. Local gaming stores were empty.

Scott and Beowulf Carter, the father and son who run The Green Dragon, found their in-person player business suffering despite never fully closing. The entirety of their gaming area, a large room adjacent to the shopping floor, went mostly unused. Here Be Books & Games in Summerville, where customers are welcome to take games off the shelves and demo them, was forced to keep people out at a time when the hobby was seeing an explosion in interest.

“The pandemic hurt us because we did have in-store gaming all the time. Anytime, someone could come in and play for free,” said Tina McDuffie from Here Be Books.

“And then, we’d have game nights the first Saturday of the month where we’d stay open ’til midnight. So with the pandemic, obviously, we were closed for a month or two months. So we had to pivot, and more of our sales were pretty much happening online than in the store.”

Here Be Books also offered curbside pickup and tried to venture into online gaming.

Braun and Zenergy tried offering some at-home deliveries but found the enterprise a bit taxing. As people found Dungeons & Dragons during the pandemic, The Green Dragon saw its miniaBraun tures and games sales increase enough to keep them afloat through the worst of the storm. Everyone held on and waited for the winds to shift.

away, there’s an entirely new crop of diehards who are finding local game stores and keeping them busy.

Every store in town has special nights and events upcoming for players looking to get involved. Saturday and Sunday are typically the busiest, but most places have something going on most days of the week. And plenty of places, like Here Be Books and The Green Dragon, are always open for players to come

in, grab a table and have a good time.

As everyone cautiously opens doors and welcomes back their customers, it seems that the ground is fertile for a new renaissance for the local gaming scene. Many new players are joining the hobby at a time where Charleston has plenty of shops for whatever you’re looking for, and a plethora of games and pieces are on the shelves for whatever you need.

The Green Dragon’s gaming room sat mainly unused during the pandemic, according to owners Scott (above, left) and Beowulf Carter

As vaccines rolled out and cases dropped, local gaming stores started opening their doors again to players. Here Be Books has started hosting weekend gaming sessions. Anyone can show up and jump into a game, right off the shelves.

Visitors must provide proof of vaccination to attend, but then they are allowed to play unmasked. However, playing it safely, Here Be Books is restricting attendance to 10 people at a time.

Wizards of the Coast recently lifted its ban on organized play and reintroduced Friday Night Magic, thus allowing places like The Final Quest and Zenergy to welcome back their dedicated players. A recent visit to both stores on a Saturday saw multiple tables nearly filled with eager and engaged players, huddled over cards and dice. Traders haggled for prices on individual rare cards.

While many players were eager to return, there is some hesitancy. Players are slowly venturing back out. Mask or vaccine requirements don’t seem to be driving the hesitancy for returns. When asked what’s been the hardest thing about getting people back through the doors of The Green Dragon, Beowulf Carter admits some of their most loyal, older players are staying home to play virtually or in very small groups.

But The Green Dragon has seen a jump in brand-new customers, many of whom discovered tabletop hobbies during the pandemic and now want a new community to share them with. So while some are staying

It’s been over a year since we last spoke to Charleston’s own novelist Grady Hendrix.

The erstwhile Mount Pleasant madman has been busier than Jason Voorhees during summer camp. Two of his books, Horrorstör and My Best Friend’s Exorcism, are being adapted for the screen. He’s just finished co-authoring These Fists Break Bricks: How Kung Fu Movies Swept America. There is his never-ending quest to curse the world with his Bram Stoker Award-winning book Paperbacks from Hell. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s about to debut his newest book, The Final Girl Support Group.

Hendrix’s latest focuses on a support group for six “final girls” — fictional survivors of mass-murderer rampages whose experiences inspired some slasher film franchises in the 1980s and Hendrix ’90s. After one of its members is murdered, Lynnette Tarkington, the hyper-vigilant survivor of the 1988 Silent Night Slayings, thinks it may be part of a grander scheme to kill them all.

Hendrix’s interest in final girls — a term famously coined by Carol J. Clover in her 1992 book, Men, Women and Chainsaws — dates back to that time in 1981 when he bought his first issue of Fangoria at the Oasis gas station on Coleman Boulevard.

“It had a big feature on Friday the 13th, Part 2,” he said. “I remember getting really obsessed with the opening of that movie.”

“Here was Alice Hardy, who survived the first movie, and all of a sudden she gets killed by Jason,” he said. “That just struck me as really cruel.’”

After coming up with the title nearly a decade ago, Hendrix, a fount of movie knowledge, built the story from there.

“I did very little slasher research because

I know these movies,” he said.

Hendrix said each of his books stems from the question: “Why have I spent 40 years of my life watching people get murdered for fun? What does that mean?”

“I really wanted to write this to explore that and what these movies meant to me.

I wanted to take the final girl concept seriously and treat them not as these campy icons, but treat them with respect,” he said.

“I’m not pretending this is some deep thinkpiece or something, but that’s what got me to my desk every morning.”

While there are moments focused on the visceral thrills of violence, the novel also features moments of sober reality.

“For all the death I saw in horror movies and action movies, none of them are real.

Nothing. That’s just not how it is. I’ve sat in a hospital room to know how it is … It’s long, and it’s sad, and it’s painful. There’s no drama to it. There’s no fight.”

“I think death gets really cheap in movies and in books sometimes,” Hendrix said. “I really wanted to remind the reader that it’s a big deal. It’s a really big deal, and it’s OK that it’s a big deal.”

Hendrix’s previous book, The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, which is being adapted into a series by AmazonStudios, became a New York Times bestseller upon its release.

The Second City stopping at Music Hall “It’s sold better than anything I’ve written to date. The big reason that happened was independent bookstores,” he proudly stated. “They really, really got behind that book, and they had sold it and got it to customers. And so I’m eternally grateful.”

Indie bookstores were especially helpful during COVID-19 lockdowns, Hendrix said.

“During the pandemic, my mom had to stay home and take it really seriously,” he said. “She just gave Buxton Books her credit card and they would just bring her a new stack of books every week, leave them on the porch and they’d wave through the window.

Polly (from Buxton Books) would often text to let me know how my mom was doing, and Amazon doesn’t do that. Jonathan (Sanchez) at Blue Bicycle Books was the first person to cut me a break to do an event.

These guys have been huge supporters, and there’s no excuse not to be buying (from them). Charleston is really lucky.”

Buxton Books will host a virtual event at 7 p.m., July 13. For more information, visit buxtonbooks.com

Tickets are now available for The Second City’s return to the Charleston Music Hall Nov. 3, 2021.

As a huge fan of NBC’s Making It, my eagerness to talk to Becca Barnet was matched by her own excitement to talk about the show and her journey to becoming a Charleston-area artist set to be featured on national television.

If you’ve never seen Making It, you are severely missing out.

Unlike most competition shows that air in the U.S., it has a zany but ultimately calm atmosphere. The Makers, the show’s name for the artists competing for a $100,000 prize, are challenged to create a myriad of large- and small-scale crafts in a limited amount of time.

This atmosphere is not the product of fancy television editing.

Barnet describes the show’s crafting barn as “such a positive environment where everyone is rooting for everyone else.”

“If I have an extra 10 minutes after I finish my piece and someone needs help gluing something, you run and glue it! Everyone is invested in each other. When someone is eliminated, everyone cries.

The only real pressure comes from yourself and the clock.”

Not thinking she would ever be seriously considered for a national crafting competition, she decided to “shoot her shot,” and a mere two days after getting the call that she had been selected to be on the show, she was flying out to Los Angeles to begin filming.

The show is hosted by Parks and Recreation stars Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler. Barnet, a fan of the show, said this was part of her reason for applying.

“In the barn, (The Makers) found our stations that were outfitted to what we do best. They Courtesy Making It/NBC said to have fun and check out our tools, and I remember hearing these little gasps, so I turned Between the hosts and crafting, Becca Barnet was sold on the idea around and there they were. It was crazy,” of the TV competition Barnet said.

She recalled how the Makers would try to joke with the hosts, only to have their jokes outshined moments later by their quick wits.

Barnet has been a local artist in Charleston for many years. Her company, Sisal Creative, works with many different art styles to create intentional, often large-scale art installations and interior design.

Barnet said her favorite local project to date has been a massive About the photo mural created for an atrium in the new MUSC children’s writer … hospital. She laid out various objects on a large painted mural in Kirstin her studio, took a photo of it, and installed it on a 30-foot wall in McWaters is the hospital on wipeable paper. a freelance Barnet said kids can leave their rooms, get their minds off their writer and treatment for a moment, and find objects like, “How many bananas blogger who can you find?” splits her “Bringing joy to people through my art, not being in a gallery or time equally even having my name on it, satisfies my creative needs while edubetween cating and bringing joy to people is the best — while also getting her home in paid,” she said.

Greenville Barnet said if she were describe her season of Making It with and her local one phrase, it would be “Emotional tears.”

“Nobody held back, in terms of who they really are or for TV. We talk movie theater. about our experiences in life with depression, anxiety, etc. and how that affects our art,” she said.

“It’s like one big family,” she said.

NBC’s Making It airs on NBC at 8 p.m. every Thursday. Season 3 is also available to stream on Peacock+.

Two Twenty Two’s cinnamon rolls come in unique flavors like matcha strawberry or carrot cake

Shem Creek 1313 Shrimp Boat Lane | 843-884-4440 | vickerysmtp.com

By Elise DeVoe Two Twenty Two Pastry founder Allie Blackburn used the pandemic as an opportunity to start the vegan pastry business she always dreamed of creating.

And although it may sound daunting, making vegan pastries is not as complicated as it may seem, Blackburn said.

“I use vegan butter, which you can find in a lot of grocery stores. I use soy milk in all of my cakes, and if the customers are soy-free, I use rice milk,” she said. “I use all-vegan sugars. I think a lot of people don’t realize that refined white sugar isn’t vegan.”

Like other new small business owners, the pandemic led to the launch of Two Twenty Two Pastry.

“The week before the pandemic, I was hired at Neon Tiger as their pastry chef.

When the pandemic happened, it all kind of fell through, but it pushed me to pursue my own business,” Blackburn said.

The studied pastry chef spent the unexpected time off developing the recipes for her vegan pastries and had her first pop-up in September 2020.

Blackburn started her culinary journey back in high school when she was involved in culinary trade school. After high school, she attended Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, where she pursued a degree in baking and pastry. When she graduated, she worked in restaurants in Rhode Island before moving to Austin, Texas.

“I worked at an all-vegan bakery in Austin called Capital City Bakery, and I learned a lot there,” she said. Blackburn has been vegan for seven years and has been creating vegan baked goods for about five years.

In place of eggs, she uses flax meal mixed with water. Another key ingredient to help the pastries rise is apple cider vinegar, she said.

“Mixing my milks with apple cider vinegar basically makes it a buttermilk, which reacts with the baking soda to help the cake rise,” she said.

Two Twenty Two’s most popular item is its brunch pastry boxes — each box comes with three different vegan pastries for $22.

“I like to do cinnamon rolls, Pop-Tarts CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

and the third item is up in the air. I recently made coffee cake and that turned out really well,” she said. “I like to take normal brunch pastries and make them elevated and fun.”

One of her best-selling items is her cinnamon rolls, which are kicked up a notch with unique flavors such as matcha strawberry or carrot cake.

Blackburn will also bake vegan cakes upon request that are great for special occasions. Customers have their choice between a six- or eight-inch round, and she even offers a gluten-free version of her cakes.

“The cakes are based on seasonal flavors, like right now I have raspberry, a birthday cake that’s all chocolate and a lemon blueberry one,” she said.

According to Blackburn, she relies on pre-ordering for the pastry boxes. “I have found that doing pre-orders really helps me with my inventory, and it’s best for my business, especially because I’m selling multiple items in a box it’s just easier to have the numbers down,” she said.

One of her favorite reactions when people try her pastries is when they can’t tell that they are vegan. “It’s getting better, but vegan pastries can get a bad wrap for not being good,” she said. “I’m trying to get people excited about it.”

Two Twenty Two vegan pastry boxes are available to pre-order for pick-up from 12-2 p.m.

The Co-Op, the uber-popular frosé cafe has added an “outpost” in downtown Charleston, joining existing locations on Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms.

Now open in the building attached to Sushi Wa Izakaya in the Pacific Box & Crate development, “The Co-Op Outpost at Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co.” serves three flavors of frosé from 11 a.m.-9p.m. daily.

The move downtown will make its frosé more accessible for folks who live on or near the peninsula, owner Jess Patterson said. The Outpost Patterson serves The Co-Op’s original frosé and two rotating flavors in 16-ounce pints, flights (three 5-ounce pours) and sealed bottles to go. In the future, Patterson said they will add soft-serve ice cream and offer larger bottles of frosé if there’s a market for it.

Juan Luis rebrands as Rancho Lewis ahead of winter 2022 opening

Lewis Barbecue owner John Lewis’ forthcoming El Paso, Texas-style eatery at 1503 King St. (previously occupied

by Workshop) already has a new name: Rancho Lewis. Initially dubbed Juan Luis like the trailer parked outside of Lewis Barbecue, the brick-and-mortar eatery’s new name “better represents their commitment to respecting the Southwest Texas-El Paso region that inspires their concept and pays homage to the culture and cuisine they admire,” a press release said.

“This new iteration of the concept allows the team to build upon the menu they created for the Juan Luis trailer, featuring classic border favorites such as enchiladas and mesquite grilled fajitas alongside fresh soups and salads and tacos,” the release said.

Initially slated to open Sept. 1, 2021, Rancho Lewis is now targeting a winter 2022 opening date. Once open, look for enchiladas, mesquite grilled meat and seafood, tacos and more for lunch and dinner, alongside an extensive cocktail list. The restaurant will feature an in-house tortilleria, and Texas native Patricia Arredondo will lead front-ofhouse operations. —PM

Pulse Singer-songwriter Haley Mae Campbell to play two local shows

With touring paused across the globe, Finnegan Bell had time to shoot live sessions with Susto’s Dries Vandenberg

Charleston’s Finnegan Bell sings ‘in cursive’

Music 07.07.2021

By Kevin Wilson

Shane Williams and Warren Bazemore began composing music and playing in bands together while attending college at University of South Carolina. This shapeshifting partnership endured more than 20 years and morphed into a longstanding Americana duo known as Finnegan Bell.

With both guys strumming guitars and contributing vocals, it’s hard to pin down Finnegan Bell’s sound precisely. Bazemore told the City Paper that along the way, the two have been under the influence of many disparate musical forces: everything from singer-songwriter types like Emmylou Harris and Bruce Springsteen to barbershop quartets and big bands.

With such diverse influences, it’s safe to say Finnegan Bell is a dynamic addition to the Lowcountry’s palette of sounds. Still, Bazemore insists that it took countless seasons of hard work and determination to mold Finnegan Bell into something special.

“When we were right out of college, we toured non-stop for eight years, doing 200plus shows each of those years. In sports, nothing takes the place of getting reps, and for musicians I really believe it is the same.

You’ve just gotta get out and do it. In front of big crowds, small crowds and everything in between. It all matters, and it all serves the purpose of helping you find out who you

are and what you are capable of pulling off.

I think through that process we realized what we are good at, and what we can stop trying to be that we are not.”

This ongoing adventure has also made it easier than ever for Williams and Bazemore to collaborate. “There is certainly a ‘we finish each other’s sentences’ aspect to it,” Bazemore said. “And certainly, musically, we are kind of working off of one shared brain when it comes to the direction of a song, or what feels right and fits the moment. The guys from [local ensemble] Penny & Sparrow gave us a great compliment by saying, ‘You guys sing in cursive.’

That only happens because there is a lot of trust and because there are a lot of shared miles behind us.”

While they weren’t able to add many miles on the odometer during the height of the pandemic, Williams and Bazemore did manage to stay busy building their songbook during the lockdown. As Bazemore recalls, “We took the year and spent a lot of time focusing on writing new material.

Since we could not play shows, it gave us an unexpected opportunity to get done the things that often get buried in day-to-day, week-to-week survival routines.”

It won’t be long, Bazemore said, until this latest batch of tunes gets showcased on an album. In the meantime, however, Bazemore is excited about the new record-

“

We took the year and spent a lot of time focusing on writing new material.” —Warren Bazemore

ings that he and Williams have already completed.

“We decided to do a couple of live videos at Coast Records with Matt Zutell and Dries Vandenberg, and they turned out so well that we’re releasing them both as digital singles too. One is coming out on July 9, an original called ‘Camille on Her Death Bed.’ Then, we are releasing a re-imagined version of ‘Fly Me Courageous’ [originally recorded by Drivin N Cryin] on July 23.

We stripped both of them down to guitars and vocals and did them in one take each.”

To commemorate the occasion, Finnegan Bell will be returning to the stage at The Royal American this week with a full band on-hand, including Kerrine Gifford [from the group Sweet Sweet] on cello. “It’s our favorite spot to play in town,” Bazemore said. “And the staff there has become family to us over the years, so there’s nowhere else we’d rather celebrate our release.”

Country artist Haley Mae Campbell is thrilled to return to her hometown of Charleston in July to promote her new single, “Never Been in Love.”

Her style combines the earnest charm of early Taylor Swift with the big sound of traditional country greats like Shania Twain. She will be performing at Red’s Ice House July 9, followed by a show at Home Team BBQ July 10.

“Performing live is my heart and soul,” Campbell said. “You’re going to hear a lot of new stuff that is not released yet.” —Kate Bryan

Whitehall Returns to The Royal American Indie garage-rock group Whitehall is headlining a show at The Royal American July 10, sharing the stage with fellow locals, singer-songwriter Cole Collins and five-piece indie outfit Dead Swells.

It will be one of Whitehall’s first live shows since the most recent album, Swordfish Catcher, has been released.

Dead Swells, which includes frontman Paul Nederostek, bassist Ben Moody, keyboardist Luke Reeves, drummer Joe Landsburg and guitarist Adam Haltiwanger, just finished up a self-titled album peppered with dreamy synth-laden psychedelia. —KB

Doom Flamingo releases a new dance floor-ready EP Synthwave rock group Doom Flamingo’s newest EP, Flamingo, is the effervescent, beach vacation complement to the more ominous EP, Doom. While Doom is composed of heavier ‘80s-inspired rock tracks, Flamingo is a buoyant collection of songs that epitomize the playful mood of the warmer months.

“The Flamingo EP is sort of the response to the Doom EP,” said guitarist Thomas Kenney. “The original concept was to create this almost bipolar double EP release, with the Doom being very ‘80s rock influenced, almost hair metal at times, and the Flamingo being more Miami-vice-roller-skates-poolparty summer jams.” —KB

Tucked next to Mercantile & Mash off East Bay and Columbus streets is its whiskey-centric barroom, Bar Mash. It’s a spot to hang out if you want a great bar menu and a thorough domestic selection of spirits, wine and beer, but you can also catch two sets of live music every Monday night. Since the musicians performing tend to blend jazz, funk and soul, the Bar Mash team navigates any vibe changes with a playlist between sets to keep the energy up for the second half.

Here’s a list of five songs they’ve used recently to bridge the gap: “Soul Child” - Zak Abel “Fade Out Lines” - The Avener “Dang!” - Mac Miller, featuring Anderson Paak “Tokyo Drifting” - Glass Animals “Goon Squad” - Ripe

Aggie Flores wants to forge artistic partnerships by hosting events and workshops at new venue, Buddha Beach that vision early on and has fostered it for everyone else who has come along.”

She went from working 60 hours a week traveling the U.S., Canada and South America to being jobless. “All of a sudden, I didn’t have to prove myself anymore. I wanted to prove that I was worthy of my green card — you literally have to prove that no other American can do your job. And being a woman and a Latina, I was trying to do it all.”

“That’s what the void of 2020 gave me: the realization that I never did art for fun or for love or just because I was bored. Before, art was my function. It was my golden ticket. The pandemic gave me the opportunity to do art and express myself without anything in exchange.” —Chelsea Grinstead

Last October, when singer-songwriter Aggie Flores opened for local guitarist Johnny Holliday at Tobin’s Market, a seed was planted that bloomed into an eclectic ensemble: Aggie Flores & the Wildflowers.

After playing several shows joined by Little Bird’s Oleg Tarentiev and Little Stranger’s John Shields, the Wildflowers will gather again to perform with indie outfits Tennis Courts and Hotel Fiction at The Royal American July 24.

While Flores’ songwriting has been influenced by international musicians like Natalia Lafourcade, Jorge Drexler and Zoe Gotusso, she considers local acts Damn Skippy, Little Stranger and Loser Chris to be her mentors. It’s no surprise she wants to infuse rap and electronic elements into her sound going forward. “My folk music is lullaby-esque, and it served me for a long time because I needed my music to breathe.

But now I want to dance.”

As part of the team at Woodlands Nature Reserve, Flores helped conceptualize and launch its newest venue, Buddha Beach. In addition to hosting sunset dance parties, she’s been putting together Artcelium Fest, a cross between an artist workshop and vendor market with over 15 artists on site creating and teaching to be held July 11 and August 15.

Flores finds the network of musicians in Charleston to be similar to the community she was a part of in Buenos Aires, Argentina, when she was studying industrial design.

“The community down there was just having fun and doing things because we had the energy to do it. I see that same hunger for creation in the activity here.

There’s something about the way that people create here — not from an ego standpoint. There’s a sense of, ‘We will take off together. Let’s come together and join forces.’ I think this city has adopted
