Memorial wall at Liberty Square for Revolutionary War patriots

By Herb Frazier

Daniel Island resident Kenneth Scarlett will lead a new task force to erect a Patriots Memorial Wall at Liberty Square in Charleston to honor the estimated 7,500 men and women in South Carolina who died during the Revolutionary War.

Scarlett said he wants the wall to be a national wall similar to the Vietnam Veterans Wall in Washington, D.C., and “serve as the glue of patriotism that unites us as Americans.” If all goes well, it will be unveiled July 4, 2026, when America observes its 250th anniversary.

The South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission (SC250), which recently met at Wofford College in Spartanburg, agreed to spend $12,000 for a design and construction process for the wall that could cost $1 million in public and private contributions.

A SC250 staff member said the task force will determine a lot of the details before a secondary vote by the commission is required to build the wall.

The S.C. General Assembly created the commission in 2018 to help organizations throughout the state celebrate the state’s

We want this to be a South Carolina project for everyone.”

—Kenneth Scarlett

Revolutionary War legacy.

Scarlett, who is a member of the SC250 commission, was assigned to lead a task force to study the idea that will be the commission’s “signature project.”

During the recent meeting, the commission awarded 11 grants totalling $2.6 million to government agencies and nonprofit groups.

Wall to list S.C. patriots

The wall will list the names of men and women of all races, nationalities and colonies who supported the cause of American patriotism and died in South Carolina from 1775 to 1783. The wall will be inscribed: “Freedom is the light for which many have died in darkness so we may enjoy the fruits of liberty today. Remember

and honor their sacrifice.”

Scarlett told the commissioners the wall will stand on a significant site in South Carolina’s colonial history at Liberty Square, part of the former site of Gadsden’s Wharf where the last British troops occupied Charlestown before withdrawing on Dec. 14, 1782.

Collecting the names of people to place on the wall will require a widespread research effort to partner with historians, archives and history organizations, Scarlett said. He is the former president of the Nathanael Greene Freedom Monument Foundation that produced a life-sized statue of Greene, a Revolutionary War general, that stands in Greenville (formerly spelled “Greeneville”), his namesake.

“We want to have full community participation,” Scarlett said. The task force, which will be made up of volunteers, will “take all the steps [toward] community involvement,” he added. “We want this to be a South Carolina project for everyone.”

Scarlett said the thousands of people who died in South Carolina in “pursuit of political and economic independence from Britain deserve to finally be honored during our nation’s 250th anniversary.”

Controversy swirls around private-school subsidies

By Jack O’Toole

A new pilot program from the S.C. Department of Education (SCDE) is sending nearly 3,000 South Carolina students to private schools at taxpayer expense this fall as two critical questions remain unanswered: Is it legal, and is it a good idea?

The program, authorized by the S.C. General Assembly in 2023, provides parents with up to $6,000 in a special savings account to pay for private school tuition and a wide range of related expenses, including textbooks, computers, private tutoring and transportation costs. In the first year, participation is limited to families making 200% of the federal poverty limit, or about $60,000. That number rises to 300% and 400% in years two and three.

Here’s what we know about the students who are participating this year, according to demographic data provided to the Charleston City Paper by SCDE:

Grade levels: 58% of recipients are in elementary school, 22% middle school, 20% high school.

Ethnicity: 49% Black, 36% White, 7% Hispanic, 1% Asian.

Sex: 52% male, 48% female.

Supporters say the program is essential to improving the state’s historically poor education system.

“The point of our schools is to have more educated students who have a greater chance of succeeding in life,” said Sam Aaron, an analyst with the S.C. Policy Council, which supports the program. “And if the current school isn’t serving them, they should have this option to find a school that does serve them.”

But opponents describe the program as warmed-over vouchers that subsidize private school tuition – the equivalent of handing parachutes to a handful of children while leaving the rest to go down with the plane.

“For every kid that might go on under this program to get what’s perceived to be a better education in a private school, there’ll be 10 to 15 that are stuck in schools that are lagging behind,” said Calhoun County Democratic Rep. Russell Ott, who’s currently running for state Senate. “So let’s roll up our sleeves and fix the public schools.”

Is the program legal?

This isn’t the first time South Carolina has tried to implement a private school scholarship, or voucher, program. (Supporters typically prefer the terms “school choice” and “scholarships,” which poll well, while opponents prefer “privatization” and “vouchers,”

which don’t.)

“Private schools … provide parents the ability to choose the type of education environment and instruction they feel best suits their child’s unique needs,” S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster said in July 2020.

But less than four months later, the S.C. Supreme Court struck down McMaster’s program in a unanimous decision, finding that it violated the state constitution’s prohibition against “direct aid to religious or other private educational institutions.”

“The direct payment of the funds to the private schools is contrary to the framers’ intention not to grant public funds ‘outrightly’ to such institutions,” wrote thenChief Justice Don Beatty.

Proponents of the current program believe it will ultimately pass constitutional muster because it awards money to parents rather than providing it directly to the private schools.

But opponents like Sherry East, president of the S.C. Education Association which is challenging the program in court, argue that that’s a distinction without a difference.

“Cut and dried, it’s unconstitutional,” East told the City Paper. “We’re not opposed to private schools — I don’t fault any parent for wanting to do what they think is right for their child — but it’s not fair, or legal, to ask taxpayers to do that.”

But as East is quick to point out, her concerns run deeper than the law.

“In the public schools, we teach everybody,” she said. “If we have this extra money for education, why can’t we put that toward the [historically underfunded] Corridor of Shame or school districts that are struggling with facilities?”

How much money is East talking about? Under current law, the pilot will cost state taxpayers $30 million this year, with the price tag rising to $90 million by year three of the program.

A wait-and-see approach

To the surprise of many longtime Statehouse observers, Republicans in the House of Representatives pushed through a bill earlier this year to expand the new program to all students at all income levels immediately, before the pilot had even begun.

The bill died without a vote in the Senate, where members like Beaufort Republican Sen. Tom Davis wanted to see the pilot results first.

“I always believe that you get a better product at a lower cost when there’s competition among providers and the consumer has choices,” Davis told the City Paper. “But when you take theory and translate it into practice, you’ve got to carefully measure outcomes and make sure your assumption is correct.”

$117 million West Ashley sewer project causing a stench

By Andy Brack

Charleston Water System (CWS) starts construction next month on a $117 million sewer upgrade project that will bore a larger wastewater line almost 4 miles along the West Ashley Greenway.

It’s a project that you, like many residents along Albemarle Road, have probably never heard of. During its peak, the mostly underground boring operation on the greenway, which CWS owns, will go on up to 20 hours a day during the work week, with a lighter Saturday schedule.

At this point, utility officials say there’s no stopping the project, which they emphasize is vital to deal with future wastewater loads from growth in West Ashley, Johns Island, Hollywood, Ravenel and Meggett.

Nevertheless, the project is causing something of a stench, even though fewer than a dozen neighborhood leaders turned out to learn more at an Aug. 27 meeting.

George Panciera, president of the homeowners’ association at The Albemarle condominiums across the street from the project location, said he learned the 65-unit complex was “ground zero” for the project in a phone call less than a month ago. And he’s worried about its impact on quality of life, infrastructure, noise, congestion and more.

“The disruption to our community and potential damage to our building and premises from this massive, multiyear project are truly alarming,” Panciera told the City Paper on Aug. 28. “The sheer volume of material that will be excavated from the tunnel and trucked off site, the around-theclock operation of heavy equipment and the constant delivery of tunnel supplies is going to generate a level of excessive, unwanted noise and vibrations for everyone living in the vicinity of this project.”

A Fenwick Drive neighbor added, “it sounds expensive, noisy, long, but probably necessary for infrastructure at the end of the day.”

CWS spokesman Mike Saia said the utility has made outreach on the project to neighbors since June.

“We’ve spent considerable time canvasing the community near each project site, going door-to-door to every home, apartment/ condo complex and business in the impact area to let them know about the significant work and its impacts,” he said in a statement to the newspaper.

Former mayor lives nearby

Former Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg’s home is about 200 steps from

the project site.

“I’m OK with it because it’s long-term needed infrastructure,” he said in an interview. “They told me back when I was on the [CWS] board it would provide some relief to this overflow issue that we’ve been experiencing recently and long-term.”

He said he didn’t think the project would look as bad as an earlier one several years ago when work was being done at the Croghan Spur location at Albemarle Road.

“They’re extending the existing tunnel,” Tecklenburg said. “It’s not brand new. Once you get a shaft and a boring machine in, you don’t see a lot of the work.”

Project details

According to a one-page summary of the project, CWS will “excavate a 20,000-foot tunnel for a new 5-foot wastewater main under the West Ashley Greenway from Albemarle Road to a point near Arlington Drive, with shafts at Coburg Road and Markfield Drive.”

The project will commence in three weeks.

“All project plans are complete and construction begins September 16 in the Croghan area,” Saia said. He added construction activity over the three-year life of the project would vary “from site to site, with significant localized impact at the Croghan area, Coburg Road and at our pump station in the Citadel Woods neighborhood.”

Site preparation will last through December “with an increase in daytime activity, noise and vibration from sheet pile installation January through February. We begin 7 a.m. to 3 a.m., 20 hour-per-day weekday work in March, which will continue for about two years. Minor daytime

Blotter of the Week

work will occur Saturdays, and no work is scheduled Sundays. However, challenges may arise that require expanding that work schedule, but we plan to stick to the established schedule if possible.”

Saia emphasized that boring activity, which will occur 130 feet below the surface, will not impact any structures. Residents, he said, will not hear it or feel it. A summary of the project noted:

Construction machinery and vehicles were to have sound-muffling devices; Operations were to be conducted to avoid unnecessary noise.

Tunnel ventilation noise was to be dampened with barriers.

Nighttime work is to be limited.

Actions prohibited at night were trucking of material off and on the site, and alarms from cranes and for vehicles backing up.

“The only noticeable activity will occur at the four shaft sites and the only sites with the potential to impact structures are Croghan and Citadel Woods,” Saia said “We will … perform pre- and post-construction assessments to determine if any structural impact has occurred. We’re going to monitor vibration throughout construction to assure it’s within industry standards and we don’t expect any damage to occur.”

North Charleston police on Aug. 22 responded to a Dorchester Road dollar store after a man wearing a “gold glitter face mask” reportedly attempted to steal a shopping cart full of items after breaking the anti-theft pole from the cart. Police arrested the suspect after a “lengthy foot pursuit,” effectively ending this potential Bond villain’s reign of terror.

Cross-eyed crook

A Mount Pleasant woman on Aug. 14 told town police she believed someone tried to break into her apartment after she found damage to the drywall near the back door. Officers noted the damage to the wall — repeat, not the door — but nothing seemed to be missing. Whoever the would-be burglar was, they have some bad aim.

Messy getaway

Two North Charleston women on Aug. 25 were chased out of an Ashley Phosphate Road store after reportedly stealing about $150 in wigs. During the scramble, one of the women apparently dropped her car keys, which a store employee turned in to North Charleston police. If there was an Uber for getaway drivers, she would surely get 0 stars.

Build a wall that unites everyone Views

One of the most positive ideas we’re heard recently is for South Carolina to build a wall — no, not that kind of wall — to celebrate and honor our state’s heroic fight for freedom from tyranny 250 years ago.

As envisioned, a new memorial wall dedicated to the 7,500 men and women who died in South Carolina during the American Revolution would be similar to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

It would list the names of men and women of all races, nationalities and colonies who died in South Carolina from 1775 to 1783 and who furthered the cause of American freedom and democracy — rule by the people, not a despot.

As reported this week by senior editor Herb Frazier, Daniel Island resident Kenneth Scarlett has been put in charge of a task force to get the project done. He said the Patriots Memorial Wall would “serve as the glue of patriotism that unites us as Americans.”

A wall that unites, not divides or excludes. Imagine that. Great idea.

Earlier this year, the state formally kicked off the S.C. American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission. More easily remembered as SC250, the S.C. General Assembly chartered the effort in 2018 “to celebrate and promote South Carolina’s role in the American Revolution by educating, engaging and inspiring South Carolinians and visitors.”

Last week, the commission of which Scarlett is a member

agreed to spend $12,000 for the design and construction process for the wall, which could cost $1 million to be gleaned from public and private contributions.

Scarlett, former owner of an Upstate survey company and author of a 2022 book on American independence, said he hoped the new memorial would be unveiled on July 4, 2026, as the country celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Lots of details still need to be worked out about the wall, proposed to be built at Liberty Square in Charleston on land that once belonged to patriot and slave-trader Christopher Gadsden. That land, which also now is home to the International African American Museum just down the street, is the last place occupied by the British before they withdrew in December 1782.

Perhaps the most important thing to work out is to ensure as many names of people who should be listed on the wall are actually listed. Records of enslaved Africans tend to be scant, but organizers expect a large team of volunteer researchers will develop a professional list that surely will be added to in the years ahead.

Once built, visitors are expected to see this inscription on the inspirational wall: “Freedom is the light for which many have died in darkness so we may enjoy the fruits of liberty today. Remember and honor their sacrifice.”

Indeed. Let’s build this wall. Let’s inspire future generations of South Carolinians and Americans.

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.

The significance of Labor Day 2024

September 2 is Labor Day, the day when our nation honors the working women and men who build this country and make it prosperous.

It is also the time to remember the achievements of the organized labor movement in the United States. Unionized workers correctly refer to themselves as “the folks who brought you the weekend.”

Many basic American rights and benefits that are often taken for granted -- the 8-hour work day and a 5-day work week -- were not willingly handed to workers by benevolent employers. Workplace changes came through perseverance and struggle. Gaining legal recognition of workers’ rights to a voice in management and working conditions required the hard work and dedication of thousands of union men and women. They marched, protested, went on strike, boycotted, organized, voted, lobbied, sacrificed and were injured or killed to win these rights.

Today, union workers enjoy higher pay, superior benefit packages [including health insurance] and better pensions and retire-

ment programs than nonunion workers. Yet unions today represent less than 7% of the private sector workforce. In South Carolina, it’s less than 2%, the lowest in the nation.

This year, Labor Day is a call to action to defend the civil and economic rights of all working people and to oppose the repeal of such rights for public sector workers.

Remember how we all hailed the brave firefighters, EMTs and police in New York City on Sept. 11? All were and are proud public sector union members.

Today, manufacturing jobs continue to be “outsourced” while the low-wage service sector grows, paying most of its workers the minimum wage $7.25 per hour with no benefits-- and most workers there often get less than 40 hours work per week. Fast-food restaurants have similar policies. Because people cannot survive on these low wages and part-time hours, they must rely on food stamps, Medicaid and hospital emergency rooms for health care. This means that taxpayers like you and me are subsidizing these companies’ refusal to pay a living wage with benefits. While we in America subsidize low worker pay, these companies make record profits, avoid taxes

and hide their money through off-shoring banking and other subterfuges– AND their CEOs “earn” millions of dollars in salaries, benefits and stock options. In 2024, the United States has the worst economic inequality since 1929.

Yet workers are succeeding in organizing unions--at an Amazon warehouse on Long Island, numerous Starbucks locations and now a Chipotle. Workers at other fast-food outlets have voted to unionize, many aided by the Union of Southern Service Workers. But managers and corporations have often refused to bargain in good faith.

In South Carolina, the Charleston Alliance for Fair Employment [CAFE] has secured a major grant to establish a Charleston Workers Center (CWC). Its first public event was a “Charleston Workers’ Rights Workshop” to let workers know their rights under South Carolina and federal law. The successful event was well-attended. More workshops are being planned. This workers’ center joins other such centers around the country in a network of worker advocacy groups.

A recent Gallup poll showed that 71% of Americans have favorable views of unions

- the highest approval rate since 1965. This reflects, in part, the experiences of those who went through the Great Recession, which bailed out banks and corporations—but not workers with mortgages or rent to pay. It also reflects the experiences of Americans who went through the Great Pandemic and found that “essential workers” were still poorly paid—and that many companies had no concerns about employee health and safety.

Strong support for union reflects the awareness that the labor movement in the United States led or played major roles in the struggles from ending child labor and securing unemployment insurance for workers who lose their jobs to securing a guaranteed minimum wage and a host of health-related protections.

As we celebrate Labor Day, we must protect our nation’s union legacy and continue to defend the hard-earned rights of working people in America.

George Hopkins is professor emeritus in history at the College of Charleston.

Films, TV shows take advantage of scenic offerings

harleston, a top port of call for the nation’s travelers and transplants, is another kind of destination too — a thriving home for films and, lately, television shows.

“The Lowcountry of South Carolina has proven to be a great place for filmmakers to shoot,” said Matt Storm, director of the S.C. Film commission. “The unique locations, quality of crew and the friendly nature of the residents all result in a pretty special production experience.

“While our rebate incentives program certainly helps attract prospective filming to the state, it’s the look and feel of places like the Lowcountry that keeps them coming back again and again.”

Way back in 1941, Charleston played a backdrop for the moving pictures. In Cecil B. DeMille’s Reap the Wild Wind, John Wayne and Ray Miland vie for Claudette Goddard’s attention in the American South while battling a dangerous salvager and, at one point, an octopus. To recreate the look of 1840s era Church street, the crew hid modern-day signifiers, such as telephone poles and fireplugs, with vegetation. They also hired hundreds of Charlestonians as extras.

Fast forward to 1974. Everyone’s favorite television detective was Columbo, with his signature shabby raincoat and a bumbling persona. That year, he sauntered over to the Haynes Military Academy (The Citadel) to solve a murder in the barracks.

Charleston’s cobblestone streets, horsedrawn carriages and pastel antebellum houses continue to be great for period melodramas and Civil War epics, such as Cold Mountain and the North And South TV movies, that focus on the Palmetto State’s problematic past. Nowadays, location scouts also shrewdly highlight other aspects of South Carolina’s past that aren’t just callbacks to a bygone era. Here is a smattering of a few movies and TV shows that used the Lowcountry as a backdrop. You’ll probably be familiar with some of them, but maybe not all.

USS Laffey (Patriot’s Point)

In 1943, sailors David Herdeg (Michael Pare) and Jim Parker (Bobby Di Coco) try to stop an experiment that ultimately throws them 41 years into the future, where they race against time to set things right and maybe one of them finds a little romance with Nancy Allen. Director

Family-friendly dining options for school nights

By Connelly Hardaway

While Lowcountry families may be breathing a sigh of relief thanks to the return of school routines, plenty of folks are often sweating the hardest part of a long day: figuring out what’s for dinner.

We’ve rounded up a wide variety of family-friendly dining joints all over the area. Let these spots do the hard work for you. (And remember to breathe.)

Rancho Lewis

If you’ve ever been to the outdoor Charleston space shared by Rancho Lewis (located in former food hall, Workshop) and Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co. on a weekend evening, you’ve seen just how family-friendly this place can be. Thankfully, things are a little calmer on weeknights and families have the option of dining inside Rancho or ordering from a QR code at courtyard tables. Diners can order from the full food menu and if booze is on the table (it’s been a long day, you deserve a Mexican martini), you can simply order a drink from the bar in a plastic cup. Chase the kids around the outdoor turf area and make everyone happy with an order of Nachos Especiales.

Bonus: It may be a Mexican restaurant, but you can order french fries, which is often a make or break moment for dining-with-kids.

• Open for lunch and dinner daily. Downtown. rancholewis.com

Order pizza for dine-in or takeout at Summerville’s rustic Italian spot, Laura

D’Allesandro’s Pizza

Families have been feeding the beasts (small children) with D’Al’s pizza since 2006. The downtown landmark is popular for a reason — the spot keeps things simple with great pizza and a solid beer list. Whether you’re keeping it classic with a Margherita or Meat Lovers or getting a little more inventive with the Get Gnarly, which is made with an olive oil and garlic base, spinach, mozzarella, balsamic chicken and blue cheese crumbles, there’s something for everyone.

The James

Bonus: D’Al’s is vegan-friendly, so no one in the fam feels left out.

• Open for lunch and dinner daily. Downtown and Summerville. dalspizza.com

The Harlow

The Harlow, a restaurant that features coastal American cuisine, opened last year off of Harbor View Road on James Island. The spot features a full raw bar, burgers and specialty cocktails. It doesn’t get much more family-friendly than a spot named after the owners’ (Katie and Josh Dewry) youngest daughter. The James Island residents also dedicated a section of the menu, the chee-burgers, to their son, Rhett, who is always requesting them. Order a few cheeburgers and fish nuggets for the kids and still have a very adult meal with plenty of raw bar options and the restaurant’s signature drink, the Dill Creek Martini.

Bonus: If it’s going to be a late homework night, order yourself a cold brew martini for dessert.

• Open for dinner Monday through Saturday and Sunday brunch. James Island. theharlowchs.com

Part of The James’ appeal is its family-friendly atmosphere. Part of the Neighborhood Dining Group (NDG), The James serves elevated American cuisine that caters to local residents. Earlier this year, NDG president David Howard told the City Paper that his team decided to open a restaurant on James Island to fill a need for a quality restaurant that doesn’t cut corners on quality just because it caters to families. “I don’t think everybody is content just going to a bar and eating fast

variety of American fare, from a cheeseburger to chicken piccata.

Bonus: The restaurant has lots of parking and outdoor seating.

• Open for lunch and dinner Wednesday through Sunday and dinner only Monday and Tuesday. James Island. thejameschs.com

Islander 71

Isle of Palms’ Islander 71, a marina-front restaurant on 41st Avenue, has plenty of space for kids to run around. In a conversation with Charleston City Paper earlier this year, one of the restaurant’s partners, Dave Lorenz said he and the other Islander 71 owners live on IOP and understand the need for family-friendly dining options. Dig into classic fish house dishes like hush puppies and she-crab soup or stick to landlubbing fare like a fried chicken sandwich.

Bonus: Head to Islander 71 (home to 16 TVs) on the weekends for all your football viewing needs.

• Open for lunch and dinner daily. Isle of Palms. islander71.com

Belle Station

Belle Station understands that dining with kids doesn’t have to be a hassle. With a large outdoor area (including a play area specifically for kids), the restaurant is perfect for families and larger groups. Order from classic American fare like wings, burgers and fried seafood baskets and

keep things veg-forward with a solid list of salad options, too. Belle Station also serves pizza, a lengthy kids’ menu with everything from spaghetti to fish sticks and a variety of fun kid drinks.

Bonus: With the purchase of an equivalent number of adult meals, kids eat free on Mondays.

• Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday. Open for dinner only Monday. Mount Pleasant. bellestationmtp.com

The Perch at Get Carried Away Southern Market

The Perch, a Mount Pleasant indoor/outdoor bar and cafe located inside of Get Carried Away Southern Market, opened earlier this year and serves up an all-day menu of classic Southern dishes. Whether you and your family are looking to snack or dig into something heartier, The Perch offers everything from peel-and-eat shrimp to a smashburger. Kids can snack on a giant PB&J Uncrustable or grilled cheese, and adults looking for a drink can order from one of eight creative cocktails.

Bonus: Get Carried Away sells lots of grab-and-go meals so make it a two-fer and pick up something for dinner later in the week, too.

• Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday (note that The Perch closes at 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday and 8 p.m. the rest of the week).

Dashi

Remount Road’s casual fusion restaurant, Dashi, caters to busy families looking for big flavors. Kids can order from a simple menu of tacos, noodles and a quesadilla. The full menu features duck ramen, a gaucho steak plate, pad thai and more. Soothe anyone’s sweet tooth with a variety of King of Pop flavor choices.

Bonus: Dashi partners with loyalty dining app, Blackbird, so you can get rewards and perks for repeat dining.

Laura

Nico Romo’s Summerville Italian restaurant, Laura, has something for the whole family, including both a dine-in and takeout menu. Start with appetizers for the table, like focaccia or arancini then choose from Neapolitan pizzas like the Blanca or the Pistachio. There are additional entrees, too, like veal Saltimbocca and scallops with corn risotto. Choose from indoor or outdoor seating.

Bonus: The covered outdoor patio is prepared for all weather conditions with fans and heaters.

Culture

Abracadabra aims to make tattoo magic

By Chloe Hogan

Charleston City Paper readers voted Jacob Reiss, a.k.a. @j.j.quick as Charleston’s Best Tattoo Artist earlier this year — it’s a big title to win in an area like Charleston where the tattoo culture is strong and places to get tatted are a’plenty. Reiss’s work sticks out for its excellence and simplicity — he makes fine-line, clean and simple single-needle tattoos of just about anything.

Now he’s celebrating another win, this one shared with fellow tattoo artist and longtime pal Bunny Stardust, who said her bubbly, bright style of tattooing, often including full color and animated characters is “meant to make you smile.”

Reiss and Stardust celebrated this month the opening of their brand new business, the Abracadabra Tattoo Club in Moncks Corner.

Walking into Abracadabra, you’re greeted by cutesy Betty Boop figures on the front doors. The sun-filled studio boasts an open layout where you can see into each of the five resident tattooer’s spaces and gaze upon their awesome artworks covering the walls — from hyper realistic black and white drawings to wildly colorful oil paintings depicting anime characters.

“When you pull up, you just feel comfortable and safe,” Reiss said. “You walk through the door, you’re greeted by our receptionist Victoria, who is an angel. She always has a smile on and greets you with your name.”

Stardust said she and Reiss were adamant on making Abracadabra clients feel like they’re “hanging out at a friend’s house. … It’s about making a space where people feel comfortable and welcome.”

The dream team

There are totally diverse styles of tattooing covered by the five resident artists at Abracadabra: Nick Bishop thrives in black and gray hyper-realism, illustrative realism comes from Bre Eazy, and cool West Coaststyle work flows out of Cowboy Dan. Add Reiss’s single needle lines and Stardust’s colorful masterpieces, and you’ve got a pretty magical combination.

Many of the tattooers have worked together before — Reiss and Stardust met during their time working together at Blu

Dance at The Commodore this weekend

Meeting Street music joint The Commodore, voted by Charleston City Paper readers 2024’s Best Dance Club and Best Bouncers, offers live music five nights a week. This weekend kicks off with a Friday night performance from Tommy Brown and the Chucktown Players, starting 8:30 p.m. Aug. 30; followed by the Hypnotic Band on Aug. 31; and Partly Cloudy on Sept. 1. Ages 23+. Learn more on Instagram @thecommodorechs.

Wonderjam festival offers multi-genre lineup

Gorilla — and part of the motivation behind opening their business was to get all their favorite artists and friends in one space.

“We definitely have the dream team,” Reiss said. “And that was the point of opening this place. I wanted to work with my friends everyday and make a place where they want to go to work.”

“We’re like one big family,” Stardust added. Reiss and Stardust expressed gratitude for how smoothly and successfully the opening of their business has gone. It’s obvious that the friendship and communication between the business partners — who literally finish each other’s sentences — is a huge reason for that. “She’s my rock,” Reiss said. “We can get over any hump together.”

The pair’s emphasis on communication and respect pours into the way they approach clients.

“We get to personally know everybody that comes in here,” Reiss said. “It’s about building relationships with people so they want to come back. That’s what tattooing has always been about for me. It’s never been about the money. It’s getting to put my art on people and getting to know people.”

Stardust sees her role as a tattooer similarly. “I just love creating and helping someone express themself. In my view, self-expression is one of the most important things. And I love getting to help people do that.”

Making magic

Abracadabra is in Moncks Corner, but it’s super close to Goose Creek, Cane Bay and lots of new development, which is part

of the reason for the location choice, the pair explained. But also, there’s no need to work downtown when these artists are bringing in clientele from all over the country and beyond.

In the short time they’ve been open this summer, the Abracadabra team has already tattooed folks from Canada, England and Japan.

Opening the business that they’ve conceptualized for years is a dream come true for Stardust and Reiss, who each infused a bit of their personality in the shop’s details. “The Betty Boops on the door are an ode to my grandma,” Stardust said, “who is one of my favorite people on the entire planet. She’s the one who supported me when I first started tattooing.”

And Reiss said he’d been “sitting on the name forever,” explaining that it comes from the 1967 Brenton Wood song “Oogum Boogum.”

“I wanted to name this place after that song, but everyone I would talk to about it would be like, what in the f***, how do you even spell that?” he laughed. “I looked into it and it turns out the song was originally supposed to be called Abracadabra.”

Then Stardust suggested tattoo “club” instead of “studio” or “shop” for its connotation of community. Lots of elbow grease later, and a grand opening party on Aug. 11 — the first of many fun events to be held there — Abracadabra Tattoo Club was born.

Jerkweed covers pop-punk, emo hits

By Chloe Hogan

During the summer of 2020, musicians Matt Zutell and Dylan Swinson met at a bonfire hosted by Chris Huber, the founder of the Charleston music journal Extra Chill, and immediately connected over their shared love of pop-punk and emo music.

Jerkweed, “South Carolina’s premiere mediocre pop punk/emo band” was formed officially in September 2023, joined by Ryan Hanifin and drummer Marc Voyer.

The group covers the kind of music you could’ve caught in Warped Tour circa 2003, like blink-182, My Chemical Romance, Jimmy Eat World and Sum 41.

Zutell, (who is also the owner of Coast records, the downtown recording studio that is a six time Best of Charleston winner) said Jerkweed is about bringing new life to the music that he, Swinson and their friends grew up with.

“It’s pop punk, emo music, the music that shaped our teen years and continues to shape what we really like,” he said. “It was a huge part of our musical upbringing.”

During the pandemic, Zutell was revisiting those classics, and “falling back in love with it,” he said. “Something just clicked in me again, I went deep into the rabbit hole of all that type of music again, really hard. It was right around then that I bumped into Dylan at Chris’s house — we were blasting Taking Back Sunday on the sound system in the living room — and I told Dylan how I was toying around making a cover of the song “Memory” by Sugar Coat and I hadn’t finished it.

“That night, I was like, why don’t you come over to the studio and let’s mess around on it.”

The seed was planted for what would grow into a passion project, Jerkweed, a band that

taps into the energy of “playing in the garage for the first time,” as Swinson put it.

Since that fateful formation, the group has performed shows curated around specific bands or themes, starting with a show at Tin Roof last September for which they hung posters up all over town — including at the Hot Topic in the Citadel Mall — a marketing tactic they’ve repeated since. The two musicians reported an awesome turnout from the start.

“We ended up packing out the Tin Roof so much that they had to turn people down at the door,” Swinson said. “It was insane.”

Zutell thinks part of the reason for the turnout is the curated and original approach Jerkweed uses to select their material.

“It’s always going to be a specifically crafted, niche show where people are coming to have this particular experience, versus like, oh, like we play every week at wherever. For each show, we record our version of a cover, make a video for it, make content about it, and it all leads up to a show.

“Even though we are doing all covers at this point, we’re trying to show an original take on it.”

LO-Fi hosts blink-182 tribute

Jerkweed is excited to present on Sept. 6 a blink-182 tribute, performing hits like “Dammit,” “What’s My Age Again?” and “All the Small Things.”

Swinson and Zutell sing and play guitar, with Hanifin on vocals and bass. Swinson said the blink-182 theme is a particularly good fit for the group’s drummer, Marc Voyer, who has been referred to as the “Travis Barker of South Carolina.”

And opening up the night is the local group called In the Garage, which will also

offer high-energy covers of songs by Weezer.

“For me, what draws me to this genre … emo music literally means emotional music,” Swinson said. “As an angsty teenage kid, finding this music fueled with passion and anger … I think every every scene kid to a degree felt like he was a little bit of a misfit. It was like finding this music that was for those of us who didn’t feel like they fit in.”

With Jerkweed, Zutell and Swinson said, the band is wanting to share that space of belonging, and have concert-goers get a bit (or a lot) nostalgic, too.

“I kind of discovered this stuff around the time when I was going into high school, and then my parents got divorced, and my world was just suddenly changing,” Zutell said.

“I felt like this music conveyed how I was feeling. It was this source of connection.”

And the name “Jerkweed” totally matches the groups’ ethos, upon explanation.

“When I was growing up in the 90s, there was this show on Nickelodeon called The Adventures of Pete and Pete,” Swinson said.

“There was this one episode where Little Pete had a radio station built in his garage, and he was causing the electric bill to increase. Every time somebody called into his radio show with a request, he would tell them, ‘Get a life, jerk weed!’”

“When I heard it, it just made me laugh,” Zutell added. “It kind of leads to the vibe of the band — it’s just this stupid humor and poking fun at yourself. This isn’t like, we gotta take everything crazy seriously. We’re playing fun music that we grew up with and having a good time doing it.”

Free Will Astrology

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Although there are over 7,000 varieties of apples, your grocery store probably offers no more than 15. But you shouldn’t feel deprived. Having 15 alternatives is magnificent. In fact, most of us do better in dealing with a modicum of choices rather than an extravagant abundance. This is true not just about apples but also about most things. I mention this, Aries, because now is an excellent time to pare down your options in regard to all your resources and influences. You will function best if you’re not overwhelmed with possibilities. You will thrive as you experiment with the principle that less is more.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus comedian Jerry Seinfeld, now 70 years old, has testified, “As a child, the only clear thought I had was ‘get candy.’” I encourage you to be equally singleminded in the near future, Taurus. Not necessarily about candy — but about goodies that appeal to your inner child as well as your inner teenager and inner adult. You are authorized by cosmic forces to go in quest of experiences that tickle your bliss.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’m not saying I would refuse to hire a Gemini person to housesit while I’m on vacation. You folks probably wouldn’t let my houseplants die, allow raccoons to sneak in and steal food, or leave piles of unwashed dishes in the sink. On the other hand, I’m not entirely confident you would take impeccable care of my home in every little way. But wait! Everything I just said does not apply to you now. My analysis of the omens suggests you will have a high aptitude for the domestic arts in the coming weeks. You will be more likely than usual to take good care of my home — and your own home, too. It’s a good time to redecorate and freshen up the vibe.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): These days, you are even smarter and more perceptive than usual. The deep intelligence of your higher self is pouring into your conscious awareness with extra intensity. That’s a good thing, right? Yes, mostly. But there may be a downside: You could be hyperaware of people whose thinking is mediocre and whose discernment is substandard. That could be frustrating, though it also puts you in a good position to correct mistakes those people make. As you wield the healing power of your wisdom, heed these words from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: “Misunderstandings and lethargy produce more wrong in the world than deceit and malice do.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had an older sister, born under the sign of Leo. Her nickname was Nannerl. During their childhoods, she was as much a musical prodigy as he. Supervised by their father, they toured Europe performing together, playing harpsichord and piano. Nannerl periodically got top billing, and some critics regarded her as the superior talent. But misfortune struck when her parents decided it was unseemly for her, as a female, to continue her development as a genius. She was forcibly retired so she could learn the arts of housekeeping and prepare for marriage and children. Your assignment in the coming months, Leo, is to rebel against any influence that tempts you to tamp down your gifts and specialties. Assert your sovereignty. Identify what you do best, and do it more and better than you ever have before.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When an infant giraffe leaves its mother’s womb, it falls six feet to the ground. I suspect that when you are reborn sometime soon, Virgo, a milder and more genial jolt will occur. It may even be quite rousing and inspirational — not rudely bumpy at all. By the way, the plunge of the baby giraffe snaps its umbilical cord and stimulates the creature to take its initial breaths — getting it ready to begin its life journey. I suspect your genial jolt will bring comparable benefits.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Many people living in the Napo province of Ecuador enjoy eating a dish called ukuy, which is a Kichwa word for large ants. This is not an exotic meal for them. They may cook the ukuy or simply eat the creatures alive. If you travel to Napo anytime soon, Libra, I urge you to sample

By Rob Brezsny

the ukuy. According to my reading of the astrological omens, such an experiment is in alignment with the kinds of experiences you Libras should be seeking: outside your usual habits, beyond your typical expectations, and in amused rebellion against your customary way of doing things.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The theory of karma suggests that all our actions, good and bad and in-between, send ripples out into the world. These ripples eventually circle back to us, ensuring we experience events that mirror our original actions. If we lie and cheat, we will be lied to and cheated on. If we give generously and speak kindly about other people, we will be the recipient of generosity and kind words. I bring this up, Scorpio, because I believe you will soon harvest a slew of good karma that you have set in motion through your generosity and kindness. It may sometimes seem as if you’re getting more benevolence than you deserve, but in my estimation, it’s all well-earned.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I encourage you to buy yourself fun presents that give you a feisty boost. Why? Because I want you to bring an innovative, starting-fresh spirit into the ripening projects you are working on. Your attitude and approach could become too serious unless you infuse them with the spunky energy of an excitable kid. Gift suggestions: new music that makes you feel wild; new jewelry or clothes that make you feel daring; new tools that raise your confidence; and new information that stirs your creativity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): On a Tuesday in August in 2012 — one full Jupiter cycle ago — a Capricorn friend of mine called in sick to his job as a marketing specialist. He never returned. Instead, after enjoying a week off to relax, he began working to become a dance instructor. After six months, he was teaching novice students. Three years later, he was proficient enough to teach advanced students, and five years later, he was an expert. I am not advising you, Capricorn, to quit your job and launch your own quixotic quest for supremely gratifying work. But if you were ever going to start taking small steps towards that goal, now would be a good time. It’s also a favorable phase to improve the way your current job works for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Three years ago, an Indonesian man celebrated his marriage to a rice cooker, which is a kitchen accessory. Khoirul Anam wore his finest clothes while his new spouse donned a white veil. In photos posted on social media, the happy couple are shown hugging and kissing. Now might also be a favorable time for you to wed your fortunes more closely with a valuable resource — though there’s no need to perform literal nuptials. What material thing helps bring out the best in you? If there is no such thing, now would be a good time to get it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For many years, I didn’t earn enough money to pay taxes. I was indigent. Fortunately, social programs provided me with food and some medical care. In recent years, though, I have had a better cash flow. I regularly send the US government a share of my income. I wish they would spend all my tax contributions to help people in need. Alas, just 42 percent of my taxes pay for acts of kindness to my fellow humans, while 24 percent goes to funding the biggest military machine on earth. Maybe someday, there will be an option to allocate my tax donations exactly as I want. In this spirit, Pisces, I invite you to take inventory of the gifts and blessings you dole out. Now is a good time to correct any dubious priorities. Take steps to ensure that your generosity is going where it’s most needed and appreciated. What kind of giving makes you feel best?
