S.C. logs 25 officer-involved shootings in 2024

By Skyler Baldwin

About once a week — including this week — somebody in South Carolina is shot in a confrontation with police.

Since the beginning of the year through July 17, there have been 26 so-called “officer-involved shootings” in South Carolina. That’s four more than the 22 at this time last year, according to records from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED).

More than half of all reported officerinvolved shootings occurred in Upstate counties. More than a quarter occurred in Lowcountry counties.

“One shooting of this type, whether fatal or not, is one too many,” said the Rev. Thomas Dixon, a North Charleston activist. “The number of officer-involved shootings we see in South Carolina in the first six months of this year is disturbing. ... And if this is the norm, we are not winning the battle to make our communities safe.”

According to SLED and media reports, 15 people died during officer-involved shootings this year:

• Four died in physical altercations with police;

• Four died during exchanges of gunfire;

• Three died while barricaded in their homes; and

• Four died in other situations, including being struck by an officer’s patrol vehicle.

During the 28-week span, seven others were wounded or injured during officerinvolved shootings, according to state reports. Three officer-involved shootings resulted in no deaths or injuries.

The Charleston City Paper compiled reports from each shooting, where available — SLED is under no legal obligation to investigate officer-involved shootings, but does so upon request by the department involved. Three of this year’s reported shootings were not investigated by SLED.

The following is a brief account according to SLED and media reports of each officer-involved shooting on record this year in chronological order:

The city of Charleston will conduct its annual Operation Moveout collection program July 31 to Aug. 5 to remove trash and bulk items from downtown streets that are expected to be cluttered after college students finish leases at the end of the summer. Downtown tenants are asked to place trash on curbs by 7 a.m. for same-day pickup with the following restrictions:

• Solid waste is to be placed in green collection bins.

• Recyclables are to be placed in blue collection bins.

• Large household items should be stacked neatly at the curb.

• Small personal items and clothes should be in clear bags.

• Electronic items must be taken to a recycling center by the tenant.

Project 2025: What it is, why it matters

By Jack O’Toole

To understand the debate surrounding Project 2025 — a controversial conservative federal governing blueprint prepared by the Heritage Foundation and its ideological allies, such as South Carolina’s Palmetto Promise Institute — it helps to remember there are two great political contests in America every four years.

In the first, the Democratic and Republican parties duke it out to elect a president on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Then, in the second, various factions in the winning party — say, conservative Christians and libertarian free-marketeers in the GOP, or Bernie Sanders-style social democrats and Clintonian moderates on the Democratic side — fight a sharp-elbowed inside game to win control of the newly-elected president’s policy agenda and staffing process before he’s sworn in on January 20. For Beltway think tanks like the Heritage Foundation, once run by former GOP U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, the first contest is the playoffs. The second is the Super Bowl. And Project 2025, with its detailed, 992-page policy plan and database of pre-vetted potential staffers, is the foundation’s bid to win the big game if Trump wins a second term.

Why Project 2025 matters

So why all the hair-on-fire hullabaloo, if Project 2025 is basically just one conservative group’s long-ball effort to influence a future Trump administration? Experts say there are three good reasons to take it seriously.

First, Trump is a politician with strong instincts — immigration bad, defense good — but few concrete proposals. That kind of policy vacuum creates an ideal political environment at an untethered White House for enterprising ideologues, such as the wonks of the Heritage Foundation.

Second, Heritage has played and won this game before, most famously in 1980, when its pre-election governing plan was largely adopted by the incoming Reagan administration. By December 1982, more than 60% of the plan’s 2,000 recommendations had been implemented.

And third, the policy agenda outlined in Project 2025 is, as 2012 Republican presidential nominee and current U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney would say, severely conservative. In fact, some of its hardright proposals have proven so divisive that even Trump very publicly distanced himself recently from the plan, calling it

“absolutely ridiculous and abysmal” in a July 5 social media post.

Expanding power

In keeping with the currently fashionable view among some conservatives that all executive power is vested in the person of the president — the so-called “unitary executive theory” — Project 2025 recommends several changes that would expand the president’s power across the federal government.

A return to the “spoils system:” Since the passage of the Pendleton Act in 1883, all but the very top jobs in the federal government have been held by professional civil servants hired under a merit-based system. Project 2025 would reclassify tens of thousands of those jobs from civil service positions to political appointments, all serving at the pleasure of the president.

Political dispersal of federal funds: If political appointees move into jobs previously held by professionals, the apportionment of billions of dollars in federal program funds would for the first time be directly controlled by political supporters of the president. This could affect spending in virtually every area of government, including transportation projects, storm recovery efforts, vendor contracts and more.

Politicizing justice: With a more political staff and a clear mandate to bring the entire executive branch under direct presidential control, the bipartisan postWatergate tradition of Justice Department independence could effectively come to an end, according to a PBS report.

Playing the hits

The bulk of Project 2025 is a conservative wish list that will be familiar to anyone who’s been following American politics since the 1980s. Here are some of the highlights.

Tax cuts: Under the plan, the top income tax rate would be cut from 37% to 30%, and corporate taxes would fall from 21% to 18%. All individual incomes under $170,000 would be taxed at 15%, representing a tax cut for most middle earners but a tax increase for those at the bottom.

Deregulation: The plan also calls for dramatic deregulation of the economy and environment, including an end to all federal preferences for green energy over fossil fuels.

Cutting programs for the poor: Currently, federal Medicaid funds flow to states based on need — in other words, how many people qualify and what medical services they’re receiving. Under Project 2025, these funds would

be converted into block grants with strict work requirements, forcing states to cut Medicaid expenditures or raise state taxes to pay for them. The plan also calls for cuts in other federal anti-poverty programs, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (what most people mean when they say “welfare”), cuts to nutritional assistance and the elimination of Head Start.

Dismantle the Department of Education: If adopted in full, Project 2025 would eliminate the U.S. Department of Education, privatize student loans and replace most federal education programs with block grants to the states. It also endorses a dramatic expansion of school choice, including the use of public funds for tuition at private religious schools.

Waging the culture war

In calling for a return to the “biblically based, social science-reinforced definition of marriage and family” (page 481), an end to all forms of “woke propaganda” (page 9) and the jailing of pornographers (page 5), Project 2025 is clear in its intention to make the federal government a combatant in the culture war.

Abortion: Under the plan, the Food and Drug Administration would reverse its approval of the abortion pill, Mifepristone (page 458), and the Comstock Act would be revived to make any mailing of the product illegal (page 459). It would also end the federal requirement that health insurance policies cover “Plan B” emergency contraception (page 485).

Immigration: Though Project 2025 does not explicitly call for a round-up of illegal immigrants and the establishment of detention camps as some have reported, Project 2025 would create a 100,000person strong cabinet level agency focused on border and immigration enforcement. The plan would also end student-loans at universities that allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition, and ban non-citizens from federally-subsidized housing.

DEI: Under the plan, diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives would be strictly curtailed within the federal government, and federal funds and authority would be used to limit affirmative action in the public and private sectors (page 582). In addition, it would reinstate the Trump-administration ban on transgender men and women serving in the military (page 104).

What journalists discovered as tourists in Charleston

By Andy Brack

When more than 100 journalists from around the country met in Charleston earlier this month for the annual AAN Publishing conference, they were sure to sniff out cool things to see and do that many visitors miss.

“No. 1 for me wasn’t any one place,” noted Krystal Knapp of the Jersey Vindicator in Princeton, N.Y. “I just loved how friendly, welcoming and helpful everyone was I encountered in Charleston. It made for a very pleasant stay.”

Attendees from Oregon to Arizona to Wisconsin, Texas and Florida saw the Holy City in ways you might not imagine. As you might expect, their observations keyed in on tasty food and concoctions at local restaurants and bars, but there were some surprises too. Here are some of the visitors’ discoveries.

Holy City offers great food

Residents know the tastes of Charleston are outstanding, but it’s great to hear from others too. Among the winners to visitors were:

Bowen’s Island Restaurant, where dolphins danced in the Folly River as guests attacked perfectly-cooked shrimp, corn, potatoes and sausage in a Frogmore (Beaufort) stew.

Big Gun Burger. “Enjoyed both the veggie burger and the vegan taco at Big Gun Burger, as well as the order-at-the-bar pub vibe,” said AAN Executive Director Todd Stauffer of Jackson, Miss. “The soundtrack offered a lovely opportunity to relive the hair-band-obsessed days of my youth.”

167 Raw Bar on King St. “(This) was the best seafood I think I’ve ever had,” said Caleb Woloszyn-Duffy of Lansing, Mich. Great coffee. Woloszyn-Duffy and others also said Charleston offered great coffee at

Rūta Smith file photo Bowen’s Island Restaurant is a perpetual hit among visitors

places like Clerk’s near the Market (the iced mocha), Kudu Coffee & Craft Beer (“great cold brew”) and Mudhouse (“Nice iced coffee”) and La Patisserie (coffee).

Other foodie accolades. Also touted by visitors was a “truly exceptional dinner at Edmund’s Oast Exchange,” the braised artichokes and focaccia with three dips at Le Farfalle.

Also: fried green tomatoes at Poogan’s Porch, Southern egg roll at Magnolia’s, bagel sandwich at Holey City Bagels and the salad Lyonnaise at Felix Cocktails et Cuisine.

Other Charleston hits

AAN President Jimmy Boegle, publisher of the Coachella Valley (Calif.) Independent, said his favorite thing in Charleston was the International African American Museum, which a group visited Saturday morning and enjoyed a special tour by CEO Tonya Matthews.

“Our visit was sobering and wonderful at the same time, he said. “I wish all Americans HAD TO visit this museum at this time when so many White politicians are trying to sweep portions of the dark history under the figurative rug.”

Also noted by visitors were: Looking down on Meeting Street.

Florida journalist Stephen Buel said he loved “the fabulous stretch of sidewalk in front of Jantzen Lock and Safe Co., which is encrusted with old keys and lock parts.”

Excellent shopping on King Street Visitors dipped in and out of shops along King Street throughout their visit.

Wandering downtown. Cassandra Yardeni Wagner, chief marketing officer of Chava Communications in San Antonio, Texas said she took herself out one evening. “I explored a lively King Street, stopping at self-serve wine bar Uncork for charcuterie and a glass, hearing live music spill out of the nearby spots.”

Beautiful music. Tucson (Ariz.) Sentinel publisher Dylan Smith visited Burns Alley Tavern off King Street at least three times during his days in Charleston. He called it the “perfect dive bar.”

“But what truly made that first decision to take a random turn down a dim alley truly a fortunate one was walking in on a night when Ed “Porkchop” Meyer was performing. His deft keyboard playing and varied vocal styles held the small crowd rapt, and his bawdy and self-deprecating original songs cracked them up over and over again.”

Smith emphasized that Charleston has a lot to offer visitors.

“But it can be a random left turn down an alley and quick decision that the music tinkling from an open bar door is worth checking out that can lead to a simple, emphatic ‘wow.’ ”

Reduce gun violence to make U.S. safer

o what’s it going to take for serious, bipartisan and real action on reducing gun violence in America, a nation that has more guns than people? Another assassination attempt? More school shootings? An attempted coup?

Our nation, a tinderbox of division, avoided a tragedy Saturday when a 20-year-old Pennsylvania shooter failed to assassinate former President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Penn. In the days ahead, there will be lots of questions about how the shooter was able to access a line-of-sight shooting position and which security agencies failed and why.

But what must not be lost in this time of national angst is the common understanding that we live in a gun culture in which violence is an answer to volatility too much of the time. As Democratic and many Republican leaders have said, it’s time to ratchet down incendiary rhetoric and unify — something current President Joe Biden and challenger Donald Trump agree on.

Biden: “We’re neighbors or friends, coworkers, citizens. Most importantly, we are fellow Americans, we must stand together … We can’t allow this violence to be normalized. I believe politics ought to be an arena for peaceful debate.”

Trump: “In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as Americans, remaining strong and determined, and not allowing evil to win.”

So what can we do, particularly in an environment in which tragic shootings of children in schools all over the country didn’t galvanize the forces of bipartisan change?

First, we must recognize there is a partisan divide fueled by the gun lobby. Republican leaders need to wake up and understand they’re being used as pawns too often. Democrats haven’t “taken away their guns,” but instead want some responsible policy offerings, such as bans on the kind of assault rifle used to attack Trump, to be enacted in a bipartisan manner.

And Democratic leaders can stop vilifying Republicans for standing up for Second Amendment rights. Rather, they can use this moment in time to sit down anew and focus on realistic strategies to reduce gun violence so we don’t have more school shootings and assassination attempts.

The time is now because gun violence isn’t getting better. In this week’s issue, reporter Skyler Baldwin highlights how there have been two dozen officer-involved shootings in the state so far this year. Why? It might be the gun culture. But it also might be that local police are more wary than ever when encountering any conflict since citizens now have the right to carry firearms any time they want.

And last year, the City Paper reported that Charleston County averaged three gun-related incidents per day during the month of November 2022 — three per day!

Gun violence is out of control. Let’s use this narrow window of opportunity to pull together as a nation and make America safer, not just greater.

CHARLESTON CHECKLIST of community objectives

We encourage community leaders to act on these audacious priorities:

1. Deal with the water. Build a strong resiliency plan to harden infrastructure and make smart climate change decisions about development, roads and quality of life.

2. Fix roads, traffic. Repair and improve roads and reduce traffic. Speed up alternatives, including more public transportation.

3. Be smarter about education. Inject new energy into the broken Charleston County school board by focusing on kids, not national mantras.

4. Conduct public business in public. Be transparent in public business. Stop the secrecy.

5. Invest in quality of life. Build more parks. Have more festivals. Invest in infrastructure that promotes a broad sense of community.

6. Engage in real racial conciliation. If we embark on more conversations and actions on racial reconciliation, our community will strengthen and grow.

7. Develop fewer hotels, more affordable housing. Make Charleston a more affordable place to live for everyone.

8. Develop Union Pier at scale. Let’s not put ship-sized buildings on the coveted Union Pier property downtown. Instead, make what comes appropriate.

9. Build and follow a 50-year plan. Plan for the county’s long-term future and follow the plan.

10. Pay people more. Pay a living wage. Push South Carolina lawmakers to set a real minimum wage.

Smalls’ statue is welcome accomplishment

By Andy Brack

Perhaps the most unheralded achievement of the 2024 legislative session was the bipartisan effort that will place the first individual statue honoring a great Black South Carolinian on the Statehouse grounds.

S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster on May 20 signed a bill into law to establish a monument to Robert Smalls, the Civil War hero and Reconstruction leader born enslaved in 1839 in Beaufort.

As a 23-year-old pilot in Charleston, Smalls commandeered a Confederate ship called the Planter, sailed 15 family members through a blockade and turned over the ship to Union forces, thus escaping slavery. After it was overhauled, he was made its captain as it was used in the rest of the war.

“He served the Union Army as a civilian boat pilot with distinction in numerous engagements, acted as a spokesperson for African Americans, and was made the first Black captain of an Army vessel for his valor,” according to text in the new law.

Smalls later served in the S.C. House and S.C. Senate before being elected for five terms as a member of Congress between 1875 to 1887. He endured “violent elections to achieve internal improvements for coastal South Carolina and to fight for his Black constituents in the face of growing disenfranchisement.”

Michael B. Moore, a direct descendant of Smalls, is a current Charleston-area Democratic candidate trying to win a seat in Congress.

“I am deeply honored and proud to see my greatgreat-grandfather, Robert Smalls, celebrated with a statue on the Statehouse grounds,” Moore told the City Paper. “In this hyperpartisan world, the fact that this was an overwhelmingly bipartisan effort is both exceedingly rare and meaningful. It is a testament to his enduring legacy and the power of unity.”

A statue recognizing Smalls is a win for all South Carolinians.

Freshman Republican Rep. Brandon Cox of Berkeley County, who introduced the bill honoring Smalls, earlier this year said its unanimous support in the House in March “says a lot about the state of South Carolina and where we are today. It shows that we are in the 21st century and that is a positive thing for our state.”

South Carolina made history in 2001 as the first of 50 states to have a monument dedicated to Black history on the grounds of its state capitol. But until now, all of the Statehouse’s stand-alone monuments, markers and statues have memorialized White leaders.

The new law empowers a Robert Smalls Monument Commission to determine the design and location of a monument to the Beaufort native and for it to be erected “as soon as is reasonably possible after the design plan has been approved by the General Assembly by a concurrent resolution.” The commission, made up of five members appointed each by the House and Senate plus the director of the state Department of Administration or a designee, has a deadline to report a proposed design and location to legislators by Jan. 15, 2025.

According to a 90-page report from 2015 by the State Historic Preservation Office of the S.C. Department of Archives and History, there are scores of historic places in the Palmetto State that have important associations with African American history. These include schools, churches, cemeteries, homes, libraries, battle sites, markets, orphanages and more.

But there appeared to be no statues in the report. In recent years, however, Charleston unveiled a monument to freedman Denmark Vesey in Hampton Park. Last month saw the unveiling in Beaufort of a monument to Harriet Tubman, the conductor on the Underground Railroad who escaped slavery, only to return several times to liberate 70 people before and during the Civil War.

A statue recognizing Smalls is a win for all South Carolinians. Let’s hope state legislators can come together more often next year in a bipartisan manner to create policy wins that will improve education, provide access to health care to more people, clean up pollution and generate greener power.

The iconic sweetgrass basket celebrates art, history, culture

Festival set for July 27 in Mount Pleasant

By Joey Izzo

The 20th-annual Sweetgrass Festival in Mount Pleasant is the perfect place to better understand the multi-generational artistry, history and heart behind the region’s signature craft. Using sweetgrass to craft baskets dates back to the 1700s, a tradition that has been kept alive in Mount Pleasant for more than 300 years.

“I think it’s good for the culture to spread basket-weaving [knowledge] among the people,” said artisan William Rouse of Mount Pleasant. A fourth generation sweetgrass basket maker at Charleston City Market, Rouse has been making baskets for the past 73 years. He says he’s passing his skills down to his daughter to keep the tradition alive, as his mother did when she taught him.

Established in 2004, the annual Sweetgrass Festival highlights the Gullah Geechee people’s history and cultural impact in Mount Pleasant and the Charleston area while showcasing what makes the community so special. Alongside sweetgrass basket vendors, the festival will offer stage performances, cooking demonstrations and sweetgrass basketmaking demonstrations.

“This is history,” said basket weaver Letha Mae German-Brown of Mount Pleasant. “It’s something that should be cherished and kept going.”

German-Brown, who sells baskets at the City Market and on U.S. Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant, said she started weaving at age 4 and has been carrying on the tradition for 63 years. As another fourthgeneration basket weaver, she is passing her knowledge down to her children and nine of her grandkids.

The 20th annual Sweetgrass Festival will take place 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 27 at Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park. More info: https://experiencemountpleasant.com/events/ sweetgrass-festival

These spots will curb your Caribbean cravings

By Tiare Solis

Caribbean roots run deep in the city of Charleston

Each year, the city sees events like Carifest, the founder of which, Lorna Shelton Beck, was honored by the Institute of Caribbean Studies in Washington D.C. last year, and Charleston Caribbean Jerk Festival, which takes place on July 20 at Riverfront Park. Each event brings reminders of the islands located far from the American South and their prevalence throughout local cuisine and culture.

Throughout the year, shadows of Charleson’s Caribbean history can be found in restaurants around the city with options like plantains or conch fritters being relatively easy to find. Yet restaurants that serve solely Caribbean food — foregoing fusion — are still niche.

The Charleston area is home to a number of Caribbean restaurants, and we chatted with a couple about what makes their food so special.

Goose Creek’s Mini Mart Caribbean Grocery & Cuisine offers both takeout options and a grocery which brings more than fare to the area. It fills a gap for the population of the city.

“The grocery is important for a lot of the Caribbean citizens that are actually living here, in the Charleston area,” owner Shomari Tait said. “A lot of them don’t have access to a lot of these specialized grocery products,” he said, citing items like jerk spices, Jamaican Hard Dough bread or cocoa bread as some of those hard-toobtain options.

Tait’s parents hail from Jamaica and Guyana and first opened the business as a mini mart in North Charleston in the early 2000s after moving from Brooklyn. The family moved the business to its current home at 119 N. Goose Creek Blvd. in 2020, adding the takeout component in March 2023. Tait took over the business when he got out of the military in 2021, but he’s been involved since the business first opened. He credits his father, Burke Tait, as a pioneer of Caribbean food in the area, having opened one of the earliest groceries.

What’s new

Ma’am Saab recently launched its first happy hour program featuring specialty drinks and special pricing from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. every Tuesday through Saturday. During happy hour guests can order $13 happy hour exclusive cocktails, including an evolving “bartender’s creation” as well as $6 beers and $9 glasses of wine. Bites include street food from $9 to $12 with dishes like a smash burger, masala fries and samosa chaat over Lahori Cholay. Learn more online at maamsaabchs.com.

“A large majority of the Caribbean people here in Charleston, and especially like the long tenured Caribbean people, they know my dad,” Tait said. “He’s got customers that he’s known for over 20 years at this point.”

Recently, the business grew again with the addition of a food truck, so its dishes can have a presence in festivals, allowing the greater population to get to know Mini Mart Caribbean Grocery & Cuisine.

Some bestsellers include the jerk chicken and oxtails.

“Some people bake jerk chicken, but the authentic way is to put it on the grill and let the smoke do the work,” Tait said.

Local business owner, Tiffany James owns Ocho Orleans Food Truck and marries her culinary background with her husband’s.

“We do Jamaican and Cajun food,” James explained, “Even the name ‘Ocho Orleans,’ we have that name [because] we combined our two cultures and cities. So he’s from Ocho Rios in Jamaica, and I’m from New Orleans.”

James and her husband, Anthony, met in Horseshoe Bay, Texas and began the business in 2021. It began as a catering business before moving into a food truck in the Austin area.

The pair moved to Charleston about a year and a half ago, looking for something

new and feeling the city would be a good place for their food.

“In New Orleans, cooking is a big thing,” James said. “You start really young, and you start prepping, cutting up the onions and the bell peppers and the celery. And then eventually, after a few years, you might move on to stirring the pot.”

James has been cooking her whole life and derived many of her influences from her grandfather, who was the cook of the family.

As a result, the cuisine of the food truck is fusion, and for James, it’s one that’s close to her heart. The menu does what food does best — bring people together — for a union of dishes representative of both cultures.

James prepares a New Orleans-style succotash that she calls her favorite food in the world. Her “must tries” are her crawfish macaroni, beignets, jerk chicken tacos, gumbo and Jamaican rum raisin bread pudding.

“It’s to die for,” she said of the pudding. “We use a specific rum. … It’s called Wray & Nephew.”

The rum is the main ingredient but it’s

60 area restaurants celebrate Duke’s Hot Tomato Summer

By Connelly Hardaway

Duke’s Mayonnaise has “got that twang” and Charleston has got tomato fever this week when the classic southern condiment brand teams up with over 60 local bars, restaurants and catering companies to present Duke’s Hot Tomato Summer from July 18 through July 28.

The annual event, which started in Duke’s headquarters in Richmond, Va., in 2021, has grown to include six southern cities and 330 participating restaurants.

“It was a way, after the pandemic, to bring foot traffic back to our restaurants and bring a little bit of joy back into eating out,” said Duke’s brand manager, Rebecca Lupesco. “But we all had so much fun and the restaurants had so much fun — that we were like, let’s keep expanding this.”

Participating cities now include Richmond, Raleigh, Charlotte, Knoxville, Greenville and of course, Charleston (which is in its second year).

How does one celebrate a hot tomato summer? According to Lupesco, participating restaurants simply have to create a menu item that incorporates Duke’s mayo and tomatoes.

“It’s really the creativity of these restaurants and how playful they want to get or, you know, how serious they want to be,” she said. “It’s just a way to celebrate the season.”

The range of mayo/tomato creations is

broad — from classic sandwiches (grab a pork belly BLT at Baguette Magic’s locations) to funky cocktails (Gin Joint’s serving a clarified milk punch) to, yes, dessert items (head to The Royal American for a carrot cake made with Duke’s).

The hot tomato offerings span the globe, too. You can find iterations of mayo and tomato dishes at French, Spanish and Filipino restaurants in town, like

Give them what they want

Local restaurants have seized the opportunity to include local tomatoes on their seasonal summer menus too, expanding on the 10 days of fun with the ideal hotweather dish.

You’ll find heirloom tomato toast, made with Normandy Farms sourdough and tomatoes from Rosebank Farms on Prohibition’s summer menu. Rudy Royale’s summer dish, heirloom tomato salad, is a fixture on the seasonal menu and gets the Duke’s treatment this week with the addition of the mayo and breadcrumbs.

The folks at King BBQ (where you can find a glowing Duke’s sign behind the bar) love using Duke’s year-round (look no further than their frequent use of it in daily specials) and they plan on serving a house smoked pork belly BLT with local heirloom tomatoes, crunchy

bibb lettuce and Duke’s during hot tomato summer.

Chef-owner Shuai Wang said: “The beautiful part about a tomato with Duke’s mayonnaise is that’s all you need. Salt and pepper if you want to, but I just like it as is. It’s a perfect sandwich.”

Part of the fun of Duke’s hot tomato summer is also the opportunity to score bragging rights by taking home the Golden Tomato. Diners can vote on their favorite local hot tomato dish starting on July 18. The Royal American took home the gold last year with their array of tomato specials, including a tripledecker BLT.

Whether they’re taking home the gold or not, all local restaurants are invited to a wrap party, a first for Duke’s hot tomato summer participants. Duke’s has partnered with Charleston Wine + Food to throw a pool party for participating hot tomato restaurants and their staff, a rare break for food and bev workers sweating through long summer shifts.

“They don’t have to cook, they can let loose, there are no customers there,” said Lupesco. “It’s just a party.”

The party starts for area diners on July 18. As Lupesco suggests, lean into the heat and bite into a fresh tomato dish. “The name of the event has ‘hot’ in it. You know it’s hot,” she said. “Go out and sweat and eat some mayonnaise and tomatoes.”

Additional Charleston-area Caribbean restaurants include: Caribbean Delight on Rivers Avenue, Irie Jam Souls on Ashley Phosphate Road and Taste of the Islands in West Ashley. All of these locations prove there’s a plethora of Caribbean food around town, and if you’re in Charleston, you don’t need to cross the sea to get to it. … At most, you need only cross Interstate 26.

City gallery now showing Preservation Through Art

By Chloe Hogan

The City Gallery on July 19 will celebrate the opening of a new exhibition, Preservation Through Art: Charleston, on view until Sept. 8, with proceeds of artwork sales to raise funds for local preservation causes. The beneficiaries of artwork sales include the Preservation Society of Charleston, the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor, Drayton Hall Preservation Trust, American College of the Building Arts, Charleston Waterkeeper, Charleston Parks Conservancy and more. The nonprofit behind the project, Preserving A Picturesque America (PAPA), uses the power of the arts to protect and preserve natural and historic landmarks across the country.

PAPA’s founder and executive director, Scott Varn, is an artist and longtime conservationist who started his nonprofit project 14 years ago after becoming inspired by America’s first travel book, published in the late 1800s, Picturesque America. The project has resulted in exhibitions like this one all over the East Coast, most recently in Saluda, N.C., as well as a PBS docuseries which premiered in February and featured Charleston as a key location.

Then and now

This is a unique “then and now” exhibition, where each participating S.C. artist created new interpretations of the 150-yearold etchings of local vistas in Picturesque America. More than 50 artists will show work, including Charleston legends like Jonathan Green and Mary Edna Fraser. The Picturesque America travelog, created by Appleton Press between 1872 and 1874, included over 900 engravings of natural and historic landscapes to raise public awareness of our country’s bountiful beauty. Varn said the book played an impor-

The nonprofit organization Preserving a Picturesque America has invited more than 50 South Carolina artists to create new versions of 150-year old artworks depicting the state’s natural beauty. The City Gallery opens the resulting art exhibition, where artwork sales raise funds for local causes, on July 19.

tant role in the protection of natural lands and historic places.

PAPA aims to follow in the brushstrokes of those artists to rediscover the same places and document their current state of existence. In the exhibition, you’ll find a work by Fraser that depicts present-day Colonial Lake, for example, next to an enlarged reproduction of that same area as it was depicted in Picturesque America. Each artwork will specifically raise funds based on what’s depicted: a painting of Saint Michael’s Bell Tower, upon purchase, will see the funds split between the artist behind the work, and the Saint Michael’s Bell Tower.

“Art is a great way to bring people into the cause, to inspire people towards preservation,” Varn said.

Coming together over nature

Varn emphasized that Picturesque America helped to reconnect our nation as we were recovering from the Civil War during the time of its print. He hopes his project can do the same in a time of hot political division.

“Preservation is an issue that goes beyond party lines; these depictions of nature remind us that there are things we all agree

on, like the importance of being a steward of the natural environment.”

He also said the conversation that got him started with the PAPA project over 14 years ago was actually one with his kids.

“I was having a conversation with my kids and charging them to be good stewards, talking about how important this world is and how important it is to take good care of it. Well, they threw back at me immediately, ‘Well, what do you do, Dad?’ I realized, I think about these things as an artist, but I’m not actively participating.

“So it was that nagging part that in the back of my mind and in my heart — I realized we could take this so much further beyond just the treasure hunt to find these places. The exhibition is a summation of Provided

LandonTalks serves Southern laughs

By Chloe Hogan

North Charleston’s Wit’s End Comedy Club, which opened at the start of June, is the cool new destination for comedy lovers. Founded by comedian Josh Bates and entrepreneurs Rick Blind and Bo Silliman, Wit’s End offers a cozy and intimate setting for enjoying the best local and national stand-up acts.

This weekend, July 21, Wit’s End added a second show after the first sold out for the Southern comic, Landon Bryant, known to nearly-half a million Instagram followers as @landontalks. The Mississippi born and bred storyteller has blown up on social media for his discussions of everything Southern — from fried green tomatoes to unpacking phrases like “fixin’ to” or “might could.”

Now, the social media personality is offering in-person performances in the form of stand up comedy. He’ll talk about the ins and outs of Southern culture, plus what he calls “his personal story of going to school at Walmart High.”

“I talk a whole lot, and one day, as I was talking to my wife, she said, very kindly but with a bored look in her eyes, that maybe I should tell my stories to the internet,” Bryant said in an interview with the Charleston City Paper. “So I started telling stories about my life … and I was blown away at the response.

“It’s turned into a whole community of the nicest people who love to talk about all of the specific ways we live life here and in other parts of the world,” he said. “I think the key

to social media is authenticity and opening your audience up to discuss with you.”

In his videos and now his stand up, Bryant finds a way to offer real information while making people laugh, a trait he attributes to his experience teaching public school.

“I love learning. I’m intensely curious, and I love sharing information,” he said.

“That curiosity, combined with years of desperately trying to hold the attention of classrooms full of small humans, shaped my approach to content creation.”

Bryant said he also likes to clear up misconceptions about the South in his work.

“I am so proud of where I’m from,” he said. “It’s the biggest honor to be able to

share our culture with the world. Doing this has helped me realize just how special it is.

“I think the biggest misconception about the south is that it is monolithic,” Bryant added. “The street that I live on is full of people from all different backgrounds and cultures. There’s so much more to the South and I love to say that we aren’t ‘barefoot and backwards’ as portrayed in popular media — because there’s ants and stickers in the yard, and everyone knows you can’t go barefoot!”

Landon Bryant will perform at Wit’s End in North Charleston, 9 p.m., July 21. Find $25 tickets at witsendcharleston.com.

all of our work, to go back, not just to find these locations, but then to invite S.C. artists to recreate them so we can look back and see if we’ve been good stewards or not.”

Charleston has been a unique location for Varn in the project for its significant successes in preservation, he said.

“It’s always a very disappointing moment where entire forests are gone, where instead of a historic icon, there’s a Walmart, terrible things like that. But Charleston is one of the most heartwarming success stories that I’ve ever dealt with in my entire experience of doing this for 14 years.

“So I hope people can see really clearly with the ‘then and now’ artworks why preservation is so vital.”

Fundraising through sales

PAPA is slowly creating chapters throughout the country with this project, bringing in artists, historians, art and nature lovers, all to create lasting positive impact on our natural world. The exhibition offers works made in varied materials — from oils to watercolor, sculptures and more — and empowers diverse voices from our Palmetto State, Varn said.

“The mission of PAPA is to help bring awareness, but also raise funds for the people that are actually the boots on the ground and doing the work. As artists, we can touch people’s hearts. We can motivate them. We can inspire them. But it’s nonprofits like the Charleston Waterkeeper who are measuring the E.coli levels in the water. Or we have the Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor doing amazing things for keeping the cultural aspects of Charleston from getting lost — you’ll see 20 or so pieces that focus on that.”

Varn said his hope is that the exhibition’s impact follows its way into your home.

“When the art’s hanging on your wall, it will remind you of why these places need to be protected. When you tell your friends the story behind it, that influences continued care for these historic, natural places.

“We’re actually going to make a difference here. I’m finally answering my children’s question now. PAPA is giving artists all around the country the opportunity to give back to their muse; the thing that inspires them. They can give nature a voice. That’s what this show is all about.”

City Gallery hosts the opening reception of Preservation Through Art: Charleston, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. July 19 and an artist talk at 2 p.m., Aug. 11. Both events are free and open to the public. Learn more about PAPA at preservationthroughart.org.

Free Will Astrology

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Have you ever been given a Starbucks gift card but then neglected to use it? Many people fail to cash in such freebies. Believe it or not, there are also folks who buy lottery tickets that turn out to have the winning number — but they never actually claim their rewards. Don’t be like them in the coming weeks, Aries. Be aggressive about cashing in on the offers you receive, even subtle and shy offers. Don’t let invitations and opportunities go to waste. Be alert for good luck, and seize it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to enhance your relationship with food. In every way you can imagine, be smart and discerning as you plan and eat your meals. Here are ideas to ponder: 1. Do you know exactly which foods are best for your unique body? 2. Are you sufficiently relaxed and emotionally present when you eat? 3. Could you upgrade your willpower to ensure you joyfully gravitate toward what’s healthiest? 4. Do you have any bad habits you could outgrow? 5. Is your approach to eating affected by problematic emotions that you could heal? 6. Are you willing to try improving things incrementally without insisting on being perfect?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Hybridization could be a fun theme for you in the coming weeks. You’re likely to align yourself with cosmic rhythms if you explore the joys and challenges of creating amalgamations, medleys and mash-ups. Your spirit creatures will be the liger, which is a cross between a lion and a tiger, and a mule, a cross between a horse and a donkey. But please note that your spirit creatures will not be impossible hybrids like a giroose (a cross between a giraffe and a moose) or a coyadger (a cross between a coyote and a badger). It’s good to be experimental and audacious in your mixing and matching, but not lunatic delusional.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1986, Cancerian singer-songwriter George Michael released his song “A Different Corner.” It was a big hit. Never before in British pop music had an artist done what Michael accomplished: wrote, sang, arranged, and produced the tune, and played all the instruments. I foresee the possibility of a similar proficiency in your near future, Cancerian — if you want it. Maybe you would prefer to collaborate with others in your big projects, but if you choose, you could perform minor miracles all by yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the Biblical allegory of Noah and the Ark, God warns Noah about an impending flood and commands him to build a giant lifeboat to save living things from extinction. Noah obeys. When the heavy rains come, he, his family and many creatures board the boat to weather the storm. After 40 days and nights of inundation, they are all safe but stranded in a newly created sea. Hoping for a sign of where they might seek sanctuary, Noah sends out a dove to reconnoiter for dry land. But it returns with no clues. A week later, Noah dispatches a second dove. It returns with an olive leaf, showing that the earth is drying out and land is nearby. Dear Leo, your adventure isn’t as dire and dramatic as Noah’s, but I’m happy to tell you it’s time for you to do the equivalent of sending two doves out to explore.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to an ancient Chinese proverb, “An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.” I will add a corollary: An ant may be able to accomplish feats an ox can’t. For instance, I have observed an ant carrying a potato chip back to its nest, and I doubt that an ox could tote a potato chip without mangling it. Anyway, Virgo, this is my way of telling you that if you must choose between your ispiration being an ant or an ox in the coming days, choose the ant. Be meticulous, persistent and industrious rather than big, strong, and rugged.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “If it sounds too good to be true, it always is,” said stage magician Ricky Jay. I only partially agree with him. While I think it’s usually wise to use his formula as a fundamental principle, I suspect it won’t entirely apply to you in the coming weeks. At least one thing and

By Rob Brezsny

possibly as many as three may sound too good to be true — but will in fact be true. So if you’re tempted to be hyper-skeptical, tamp down that attitude a bit. Open yourself to the possibilities of amazing grace and minor miracles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What is the largest thing ever sold in human history? It was a 530-million-acre chunk of land in North America. In 1803, the French government sold it to the American government for $15 million. It stretched from what’s now Louisiana to Montana. Here’s the twist to the story: The land peddled by France and acquired by the US actually belonged to the Indigenous people who had lived there for many generations. The two nations pretended they had the right to make the transaction. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to make a big, important purchase or sale — as long as you have the authentic rights to do so. Make sure there are no hidden agendas or strings attached. Be thorough in your vetting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): An antiques dealer named Laura Young bought a marble bust of a distinguished man at a thrift store in Austin, Texas. Later she discovered that it was over 2,000 years old and worth far more than the $35 she had paid for it. It depicted a Roman military leader named Drusus the Elder. I foresee similar themes unfolding in your life, Sagittarius. Possible variations: 1. You come into possession of something that’s more valuable than it initially appears. 2. You connect with an influence that’s weightier than it initially appears. 3. A lucky accident unfolds, bringing unexpected goodies. 4. A seemingly ordinary thing turns out to be an interesting thing in disguise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): My childhood friend Jeanine used to say, “The best proof of friendship is when someone gives you half their candy bar. The best proof of fantastic friendship is when they give you even more than half.” And then she would hand me more than half of her Snickers bar, Milky Way, or Butterfinger. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to give away at least half your candy to those you care for in the coming days. It’s a phase of your astrological cycle when you will benefit from offering extra special affection and rewards to the allies who provide you with so much love and support.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you’re a teacher, it’s a favorable time to enjoy a stint as a student — and vice versa. If you’re a healthcare worker trained in Western medicine, it’s an excellent phase to explore alternative healing practices. If you’re a scientist, I suggest you read some holy and outrageous poetry, and if you’re a sensitive, introverted mystic, get better informed about messy political issues. In other words, dear Aquarius, open a channel to parts of reality you normally ignore or neglect. Fill in the gaps in your education. Seek out surprise and awakening.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Jane Brunette, a writer I admire, uses the made-up work “plurk” to refer to her favorite activity: a blend of play and work. I have always aspired to make that my core approach, too. I play at my work and work at my play. As much as possible, I have fun while I’m doing the labor-intensive tasks that earn me a living and fulfill my creative urges. And I invoke a disciplined, diligent attitude as I pursue the tasks and projects that bring me pleasure and amusement. I highly recommend you expand and refine your own ability as a plurker in the coming weeks, Pisces.
