A map from 1788 detailing several plats of land around the Early Hillsborough Plantation was the missing piece needed to locate the cemetery

West Ashley may be home to state’s 1st official cemetery

By Skyler Baldwin

South Carolina’s first official graveyard, believed to have been lost for centuries, may have been recently rediscovered in West Ashley. If it turns out to be the real thing, its graves could date all the way back to the founding of Charles Towne.

Local real estate agent Charlie Smith, part of the West Ashley Historians group, believes the Early Hillsborough Cemetery could be nestled between Magnolia Road, St. Andrews Boulevard and Sycamore Avenue. It could be the final resting place of Col. William Sayle, the first governor of the colony of Charles Towne, among more than a dozen other historical figures.

conveyed the plantation to the Godfrey family, which then split the 1,562-acre property into seven parts. But the maps were lost.

“There was supposed to be a four-acre site and a 16-acre site conveyed to Gov. Sayle, who died in 1671,” Smith said. “But there didn’t seem to be any record of where those two tracts were. Nobody seemed to know what happened. … The four-acre site, we assumed, was the church and the graveyard.”

Charles Hill, 1672-1734, left in his will that he intended to be buried in a vault on that site. His daughter, Sarah Hill, later married into the Lining family, whose descendents were later buried in another historic cemetery on Lining Island in what is now Maryville. But the Early Hillsborough Plantation cemetery predates the Lining family tomb by more than a century.

up perfectly with another map from 1826. Working together with other members of the West Ashley Historians, they were able to determine the location of the site when these maps were overlaid on a present-day map of West Ashley.

The group performed initial groundpenetrating radar studies on the site in fall 2023, finding four graves. With permission from the city of Charleston, the group moved forward with a more professional job, clearing the area of trees and partnering with archaeologists from Drayton Hall to bring a team with new equipment. The report is still in progress, Smith said, but the team found “all kinds of stuff.”

No hurricanes over weekend for first time in 27 years

For the first time since 1997, there was no tropical storm in the Atlantic basin over the long Labor Day weekend — between Aug. 21 and Sept. 2 — breaking a hurricane seasonal record, not for activity, but the lack thereof. September is historically the most active month of the Atlantic hurricane season as more “real estate” is available for tropical developments. On average, the Atlantic hurricane season has seven named storms by Sept. 24, including four hurricanes. So far this year, the U.S. has recorded five named tropical storms, including three hurricanes. Despite this year’s calm holiday weekend, experts say it’s critical to remain vigilant through the remainder of hurricane season. Statistically, another eight to 10 named storms are expected, according to the National Hurricane Center. Of those, up to four could have direct impacts on the United States. Hurricane season is expected to peak on Sept. 10. — City Paper Staff

“There’s a tremendous amount of prejudice about anything having any historical value outside the peninsula, but I think this is going to knock the socks off a lot of people once we figure out how far back it really goes,” Smith said.

Steeped in history

Early Hillsborough Cemetery was once part of the Proprietors Plantation, established in 1670 and owned by the Lords Proprietors who started South Carolina. It later was conveyed to the Hill family and renamed the Hillsborough Plantation. Some time between then and 1715, Smith said, the West Ashley Historians believe the family

“The first person buried in the Lining Island cemetery was probably in 1801, but Hillsborough Plantation could be the final resting place of John Lining, of the Hills, the Godfreys — all of whom were deputies to several of the first Lords Proprietors,” Smith said. “Three governors died on that property before 1680. Where else would you bury them?”

Years in the making

A 1971 archaeology study for Charles Towne Landing, Smith explained, detailed the historian’s regret that he could not locate the site of the church or cemetery. But Smith later found a map from 1788 illustrating a couple plats of land marked with very small notations.

“I realized one of them was a little cross with a little building — that’s a universal mark for a cemetery,” he said. “And that mark lined

“Once the full report comes in and we can see what the anomalies are, we can decide how to approach the next steps,” Smith said. “I’m in favor of doing DNA analysis on the remains, because if we find these people are from the first year of the settlement of Charles Towne, that’s important. We can do exactly what we did downtown at the Gaillard.”

The city of Charleston in 2012 led a large-scale project to expand and renovate the Gaillard Municipal Auditorium, but workers digging a new foundation halted after finding human remains on the east side of Anson Street. A six-year archaeological study eventually revealed 36 individuals buried there. A memorial is planned to be erected on the site.

Smith, a direct descendant of the Godfrey family, said he hopes for similar results in West Ashley.

“It would be cool to finally have that connection, and I think half of Charleston would have the same connections, too.”

EXPLAINER : The death penalty in South Carolina

By Jack O’Toole

After a 13-year hiatus, the state of South Carolina is planning to resume executions this month amid an ongoing debate about the fairness, expense and effectiveness of capital punishment.

According to an Aug. 30 S.C. Supreme Court order, six death row inmates, four of whom are Black, have exhausted their appeals and can be executed by the state Department of Corrections (SCDC) at 35-day intervals. The men awaiting execution are:

• Freddie Owens, 46, convicted of murdering Greenville convenience store clerk Irene Graves in 1997. Owens later admitted to killing a Greenville County cellmate as he awaited sentencing for Graves’s murder. Owens’s execution is scheduled for Sep. 20.

• Richard Moore, 59, convicted of murdering Spartanburg convenience store clerk James Mahoney during a robbery in 1999.

• Marion Bowman, 44, convicted of murdering 21-year-old Kandee Louise Martin in Orangeburg in 2002.

• Brad Sigmon, 66, convicted of killing his girlfriend’s parents, Gladys and David Larke, in Greenville County in 2002.

• Mikal Mahdi, 41, convicted of murdering Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office

Captain James Myers in 2004.

• Steven Bixby, 57, convicted of murdering two law enforcement officers — Abbeville County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Danny Wilson and State Constable Donnie Outz — in 2007.

If Owens’s sentence is carried out as scheduled, he will be the 44th South Carolinian put to death since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976, and the first since Jeffrey Motts, who was executed for the murder of his cellmate, Charles Martin, in 2011.

Since then, the state’s efforts to carry out death sentences have been stymied by pharmaceutical distributors’ hesitance to provide drugs for states to use in lethal injections. To break the impasse, the S.C. General Assembly approved the legality of executions via the electric chair and then firing squads in 2021. Two years later, state lawmakers shielded drug providers from the risk of public exposure in 2023.

“Justice has been delayed for too long in South Carolina,” Gov. Henry McMaster said in a September 2023 statement after notifying the courts that the S.C. Department of Corrections had obtained the necessary drugs and was prepared to resume lethal injections as the primary method of execution. “This

filing brings our state one step closer to being able to once again carry out the rule of law and bring grieving families and loved ones the closure they are rightfully owed.”

But with new questions about the death penalty currently swirling, and public support for the method at a 30-year low, according to a recent Gallup poll, opponents say it’s time to end the practice.

“Our state has real problems,” ACLU-SC spokesman Paul Bowers told the Charleston City Paper in a Sept. 3 interview, “and we’d all benefit if our politicians put as much energy into keeping people alive as they do into killing them.”

South Carolina’s death penalty has long been plagued by questions of race, class, fairness, cost and more, as statistics maintained by the Death Penalty Information Center and South Carolinians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty demonstrate:

Race: 74% of South Carolinians executed since 1900 have been Black, as are more than half of those currently awaiting execution.

Procedure: Since the 1976 Supreme Court reinstatement, 60% of S.C. death sentences have been overturned due to court errors and prosecutorial misconduct.

Innocence: Two death row inmates, Michael Linder and Warren Manning, have been exonerated and released since 1981.

With 43 executions since 1976, that’s about 1 out of every 22 men executed.

Geography: Four counties—Lexington, Greenville, Horry and Spartanburg— account for 51% of the prisoners on death row, with Lexington County responsible for almost 20%.

Cost: Every inmate on death row costs South Carolina taxpayers more than $400,000 per year. Nationally, a death sentence has been found to cost between two and three times as much as a sentence of life without parole due to dramatically higher legal and incarceration expenses.

What critics say

Critics of capital punishment say the realities of those numbers were brought home in 2022 during South Carolina’s most infamous murder case, when S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson announced that prosecutors would not seek the death penalty against longtime Hampton County attorney and powerbroker Alex Murdaugh. Murdaugh, whose family essentially ran the county’s justice system for generations, was found guilty of murdering his wife and son and sentenced to life in prison in August 2023.

Groups receive $330K for Revolutionary War projects

By City Paper Staff

Four local projects to better understand and commemorate Charleston’s role in the American Revolution received more than $330,000 in grant funding from the South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission (SC250).

The S.C. General Assembly chartered the commission in 2018 to help organizations throughout the state celebrate the state’s Revolutionary War legacy in July 2026.

The commission approved $15,000 to St. Philip’s Church for a Charleston Revolutionary War Leaders Churchyard Marker Project. The grant will help the church create and enhance markers to better identify important Revolutionary War figures that are buried in its churchyard. Christopher Gadsden, Charles Pinckney and Edward Rutledge are just some of the Revolutionary War leaders buried at the church on Church Street.

Joseph McGill Jr., founder of the Slave Dwelling Project, and Herb Frazier, the Charleston City Paper’s senior editor, will do research into the Charleston-area Black Loyalists and Black Patriots. A $50,500 grant will allow them to deepen the understanding of African-Americans who joined the Loyalist ranks and Patriot forces during the war and present the stories of these underrepresented Charleston-area participants.

The Friends of the Charleston National Parks received a $118,000 matching grant for Revolutionary War interpretative panels at Fort Moultrie. The National Park Service plans to develop and deploy a series of interpretative panels covering the war’s history at Fort Moultrie on Fort Sullivan. The panels will educate visitors about the Battle of Sullivan’s Island, its diverse participants and the role of Fort Sullivan in defending Charleston from British attack.

The SC250 commissioners also approved $148,500 for a new video presentation that will highlight the Battle of Sullivan’s Island on June 28, 1776, for a new generation of Americans. In partnership with Wide Awake Films, an award-winning producer of similar battle presentations for the American Battlefield Trust and The Liberty Trail, a 12-minute film will be designed to be presented in a wide range of venues and channels. With delivery in late 2025, the video is projected to be delivered in late 2025, months before the 250th anniversary of the June 28 celebration of what is now known as Carolina Day. The presentation is to be designed to increase public awareness and appreciation for this key battle in which patriots repelled a British fleet in what was the first major naval victory of the war.

Blotter of the Week

A downtown Charleston man on Aug. 25 reportedly stripped naked during a police investigation to prove that he had nothing on his body. Police noted he was never asked to do this, and they were, in fact, investigating whether he was intoxicated. Yeah, so that’s a mystery, all right.

Trick up his pants

A North Charleston man on Sept. 2 allegedly threatened to shoot a U.S. Highway 78 apartment resident with a handgun. But it reportedly “fell out of his pants” while he was belligerently swinging his arms against the front door of the resident’s apartment. This is not the coolest way to draw a gun we’ve heard of, but it’s not the worst we’ve seen either.

That’s a new one

Mount Pleasant police on Sept. 2 pulled over a woman for suspected driving under the influence. She reportedly told officers she was not driving — she was the only person in her vehicle — while refusing to comply with field sobriety tests. The woman eventually cracked and admitted to drinking three vodka seltzers before getting behind the wheel. Perhaps she should have stuck to the first story. It was just stupid enough to work.

ACCIDENT AND INJURY

Character counts in 2024 elections

Now that Labor Day has passed, the nation’s bell of liberty is ringing to alert us to the proximity of November’s election. While Vice President Kamala Harris is new to the top of the Democratic Party’s ticket, the slog to the White House has been going on since the last election, topped by the destructive insurrection by lackeys of then-President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

What has emerged this campaign season is much different than in past elections. This time, there’s a noticeable lack of focus on real issues. We’re not really hearing much about the economy, stupid. Or foreign wars or the budget or trade or racial relations or whatnot. Sure, issues like abortion, immigration and guns rear their heads occasionally, but so far, big issues don’t really seem to be defining the presidential race.

Instead, it’s all about character and the future of our democracy. Do we want to continue in the ObamaBiden tradition to move forward and try to make a better America for everyone? Or do we want to steer the country backwards toward a more divided country where fear, injustice, inequality and poverty rule?

Notes The Washington Post in a recent editorial: “Ms. Harris offers an optimistic view of the country

and its future and has largely refused to respond to Mr. Trump’s jabs. Mr. Trump has chosen to make ‘American carnage,’ the term he coined in his 2017 inaugural address, his guiding theme. Hints of moderation that came after his near-assassination in July seem a thing of the past.

“In character, style, tone, outlook, dignity, and, yes, race and gender, the two candidates are distinct.”

So in the nine weeks or so until our elections, consider character and what you want in a national leader.

Do you want to return to the days of dysfunction, narcissism and spitefulness that reigned from 2017 to 2021 during the Trump administration? And don’t forget about the trials, tribulations and convictions of the former president in the years since.

Or do you want to continue the too-slow march toward progress with the optimistic, sometimes joyful, campaigning by Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota?

We’re not sure about you, but we’d far rather have someone more akin to Ted Lasso running the country than Ted Bundy or Ted Nugent.

Character counts and Kamala Harris has it.

Let’s not make a national mistake that would embarrass the Founding Fathers — and Mothers — by electing a convicted felon to the nation’s highest office.

CHARLESTON CHECKLIST

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.

Lock ‘em up and throw away the key

Now that the state of South Carolina has three court-approved methods that a condemned convict can choose from to meet his maker, it’s curious lawmakers didn’t consider a triedand-true method of execution so gruesome that it should be certain to have a deterrent effect: the guillotine.

South Carolina is scheduled to get back into the execution business Sept. 20 when a 46-year-old man, Freddie Eugene Owens, is set to die for the 1997 death and armed robbery of a Greenville store clerk. If there’s not some kind of delay in a state that hasn’t had an execution in 13 years, he’ll have a choice of dying by electrocution, lethal injection or firing squad, a new option approved by lawmakers in the last couple of years.

We’ve never been clear exactly why there needed to be three choices since the end result is the same — and it seems kind of counterintuitive for apologists to worry about pain in executions since many people want to see those put to death to suffer for their crimes.

South Carolina’s execution process faced a slowdown when lethal injection was questioned a while

By Andy Brack

back for being cruel and unusual punishment that caused pain and undue suffering. And then companies that supplied the drugs said they were out of them, but that really meant they didn’t want people to know which company supplied the drug. So the legislature passed a law to keep their identities secret. And along the way, lawmakers decided to add another method for inmates to choose from for good measure — in case the lethal injection reboot didn’t work.

Of course, who’s to say electrocutions haven’t been botched or that firing squads are pain-free?

Which brings us back to the guillotine, last used officially in 1977 when the French executed a Tunisian for a particularly brutal death in Marseille in 1974. Used during the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, death by guillotine has awed and terrified the public for generations. According to a paper questioning whether death by guillotine was “the most gentle of lethal methods,” researchers concluded decapitation caused “nearly instant” loss of consciousness in humans and rats but “it is possible that the truth will never be fully known.”

So if you have reached this part of this commentary, you might be figuring out that discussing a return to the guillotine is a facetious suggestion to amplify the brutality of

Who’s to say electrocutions haven’t been botched or that firing squads are pain-free?

executing people in a state where boatloads of people go to church and hear how they should “love thy neighbor.”

State-directed executions should become a permanent thing of the past. Not only are they brutal, discriminatory and political, but they put the blood of the state on the hands of every citizen of the Palmetto State.

According to Amnesty International, almost 200 people sent to death row in the United States “have been later exonerated or released from death row on grounds of innocence. Others have been executed despite serious doubts about their guilt.”

The organization also claims execution as a deterrent “has been repeatedly discredited, and there is no evidence that the death penalty is any more effective in reducing crime than life imprisonment.”

Bottom line: The death penalty is an Old Testament punishment in an era when the majority of people subscribe to New Testament principles. Lock ’em up and throw away the key, but let’s get rid of executions and the blood on everyone’s hands.

A BEER WITH A VIEW

Game bar trend conjures wistful past

By Tiare Solis

In a city full of arcade and video game lovers (and perhaps some folks stuck in a sort of infantile fixation), bar-goers may begin to wonder where to find the nearest bar and turn those games into prizes.

This year saw the departure of long-standing entertainment venue, The Alley, but luckily, there are other arcade bars where gamers can get their fix.

The founding principle when opening a new bar comes from a simple question: “What things would I like to see?” Game bars are no exception, and if anything, may be the most ambitious examples of the query.

Pinky and Clyde’s

1044 E Montague Ave. Park Circle

You’ve heard the name, even if you don’t know it.

Pinky and Clyde’s Arcade Bar was opened in Park Circle in September 2023 by four friends who wanted to create a space their 12-year-old selves would love — a place that honored the Golden Age of Arcade video games.

For these four friends, this wasn’t their first rodeo by a longshot.

Part-owner Art Perry explained, “It’s me and my wife (Erin Tyler, who’s owned and operated Tin Roof for 12 years), and Ryan Hendrick and Sarah Henderson, who are also engaged. They’re our best

friends. Ryan is part-owner of the Brew Cellar in Park Circle. So we kind of know what we’re doing in the food-and-bev world.”

This arcade bar is full of authentic ’80s consoles. How could visitors be so sure? Well, most of the fixtures belonged to the owners as kids.

“I don’t know how it happened, but all of our parents either hung on to our stuff, or somehow, we kept so much awesome stuff from our childhoods,” Perry said.

The games aren’t the end of the 1980s wistfulness, though. The bar menu was designed by Kwei Fei’s former general manager, Aneel James, who created nostalgic cocktails to remain in alignment with the brand. One example is the Ecto Cooler served in a pouch which Perry said are like the old Hi-Cs — but with some booze in them.

INSIDER INFO: Pinky and Clyde are characters from Pac-Man. Clyde is the orange ghostly character while Pinky is — fittingly — the pink one.

High Score

8120 Windsor Hill Blvd., Suite 203. North Charleston Tony Williams and Chris Shelley opened High Score Brewing in December 2023, but Williams has been brewing since about 2015. During the pandemic, he and Shelley began to consider what they might like to do professionally long-term. Williams works remotely for a tech company in California while Shelley’s background is in health care.

“He [Shelley] was feeling a lot of the COVID stresses during that period,” Williams said. “So we started thinking about it: We liked making beer, and we like video games. So it kind of seemed like a perfect blend of those two things that we liked.”

He said the stars aligned when they found the space off Ashley Phosphate Road in summer 2022. At that time, the space was just the foundation but the structure began to take shape in June 2023. Williams and Shelley took over the space shortly thereafter and began to convert it into a brewery.

The goal for the brew-cade was to be able to share nostalgic pieces of their childhood with friends and family, particularly the younger folks. Both partners have “a bunch of nephews” and saw this project as a way to connect their upbringing to them.

All of High Score’s games are free — a fact the partners are most proud of — and can be played by anyone. Besides consoles and beer, High Score has board games, pinball and a rotating group of food trucks.

The Break

778 Folly Road, Unit F. James Island

We’d be remiss not to mention one of the Charleston area’s longer-standing video game bars.

Matthew Gardener opened The Break on James Island in 2014, but his history with the space started some time before that.

Gardener, who owned an arcadeoperating business called Boardwalk Games at the time, had a bar called Oasis on his route which would later become the

location for The Break.

Seeing potential in the space, Gardener told the bar’s former owner to give him a call if he ever sold the place. It came out of the blue about a year later, and he jumped at the opportunity to put his professional background to use in creating a space he would enjoy.

“Basically, my idea for building the place was just to build a place that I would want to go to myself,” Gardener said. “If the place failed and nobody came here, at least I liked it.”

The Break has made itself known as a sports and game pub. The business shies away from live music or DJs preferring to retain a chill atmosphere. Instead, it does its own thing, allowing its clientele to engage in competitions like pinball.

“I figured that as long as I don’t have terrible taste, then it should work out. And it has for 10 years, so I can’t complain.”

Gardener said.

Over The Horizon Brewing now open Hops

By Connelly Hardaway

Located in the Charleston space formerly occupied by Brewlab, Over The Horizon (OTH) is the city’s newest brewery, serving beer, food and a gathering space for local veterans.

OTH is owned by Citadel grads James Browning, Chris Houston and Scotty Sheriff, all of whom wanted to start a brewery and jumped at the chance to move into the space at 2200 Heriot Street.

Houston and Sheriff have experience owning and operating restaurants (including Big John’s Tavern), which can help with running a brewery that has a full kitchen.

“We have a restaurant background, so we’re able to run it a little more like a restaurant that’s making its own beer,” Houston said. “And we’re also more pubfocused than distribution-focused.”

Guests can order from a menu that features Detroit-style pizza, a variety of french fries and a couple of salads. Between the menu, the space, which includes a fenced-in outdoor area and an adjoining custard business (more on that in a bit), OTH is incredibly family-friendly.

It’s not so family-friendly, though, that adults can’t have a good time, too. With a bevy of TVs and an outdoor stage, the spot is perfect for football viewing and catching some live music.

Former Revelry Brewing Co. brewer Hunter Dawson is brewing OTH’s beer. Current selections include everything from a hazy IPA to a lager to a saison.

“He’s an excellent brewer,” Houston said. “We had some ideas, he had some ideas and we’re kind of marrying that all together.”

Giving back

Browning, who served in the Army, thought it was important to incorporate local veterans into the operation. The brewery is working with the DOD SkillBridge Program which helps those in the military transition into a trade. In addition to bringing veterans into OTH

James Browning, Scott Sheriff and Chris Houston have created a familyfriendly gathering space for Citadel grads, veterans and anyone looking for a cold beer

for jobs, there’s also space in the brewery for soldiers to put up their medals or other accomplishments.

Houston said OTH will serve as a gathering place for those looking for support while transitioning from military to civilian life. OTH is also a natural gathering space for Citadel grads. In fact, two of the beers on draft right now are named after the school’s basketball and football coaches. One dollar from each of those beers will be donated to the Citadel’s basketball and football programs.

The Citadel connection is strong next door, too, where Gustard’s Custards, a new Greek yogurt spot, is run by Citadel grad Nelson Burch. Named after Burch’s 130pound black lab, Augustus, “Gus,” the sweet treat joint is a natural addition to the offerings already on tap at Heriot Street. Dogs are welcome at Gustard’s, where they can

enjoy frozen yogurt, and dogs can hang out at the outdoor spaces at the brewery, too. Located at the base of Exit 219 off of I-26 and featuring plenty of parking, OTH is easily accessible for folks looking to try a new brewery.

“We just want to have a cool spot, have good beer and give back as much as possible,” Houston said.

Over The Horizon is open from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday through Sunday.

Discount app, Goodie Bag, offers local foodie deals

By Connelly Hardaway

A Colorado-based startup, Goodie Bag, launches in Charleston this week to help local businesses manage unsold inventory.

Goodie Bag was founded by University of Colorado-Boulder college roommates Eddy Connors and Luke Siegert, who came up with the idea to address food waste and food affordability during a college summer internship.

“Part of what we do when we launch in a new area, is we work directly with locals to help us understand which shops are best, who we should be talking to, helping us raise awareness,” Connors said. “And so we did that in Charlotte and some of these, we like to call them ambassadors, connected us to people in Charleston who were equally as enthused about the local food scene.”

The duo was joined by Briana Boehmer, who serves as chief operating officer and who heard about the startup while teaching in Boulder. Locally Goodie Bag has partnered with Meredith Fischl, who runs the popular Instagram account @eatdrinkplaycharleston.

Connors said Goodie Bag’s path to Charleston was “guided by our desire to support locally owned businesses.”

As someone currently living in Charleston and working directly with local businesses, Jack Connors is head of partnerships at Goodie Bag, as well as Eddy’s brother. He described how some local restaurants and cafes, especially bakeries and coffee shops, are an immediate fit for Goodie Bag.

“Shops that have pastry-forward items immediately get it, because they’re dealing with their surplus day in and day out,” he said. Other businesses see the secondary benefits of bringing in customers to buy discounted food.

“It just puts so many more people in front of these local shops trying things that they might not otherwise try,” he said. “It’s really just a win, win.”

How does it work?

Users download the app, select their market (until Sept. 6 Charleston will be marked as

Download

the Goodie Bag app on your phone and start searching for discounted food around town at spots like The Daily, Red’s Ice House and Daddy’s Girls Bakery

“coming soon”) and peruse a list of participating shops as well as a list of shops that have products ready right now. For example, at a Colorado company in early September, a user could order a large or small goodie bag with a variety of kolaches at half of the retail price.

“A lot of these restaurant owners, when we talk to them, they say it’s one of their biggest pain points: ‘What do I do with this extra food?’” Boehmer said. “Some of them have solutions. A lot of them don’t, or they have a somewhat solution that still doesn’t quite effectively work. Putting something on the shelf at 50% off isn’t necessarily what people will gravitate towards, but if they have an opportunity like our app, it’s a different experience.”

Connors said that each Goodie Bag has to meet the same local, state and federal health regulations as any other product produced in a local restaurant’s kitchen. A bakery may not want to sell day-old bagels at full price, but the product is still edible.

“Instead of trashing those, now they can actually make money on it, and then the customer is able to get it at literally a fraction of the price, oftentimes 67% cheaper,” Connors said. Goodie Bag takes a 33% commission on items sold.

Boehmer said some shops don’t even realize how much money they lose when they discard extra products, citing a cookie shop owner in Charlotte who made $1,500 in three weeks by using Goodie Bag and selling cookies she would normally throw away.

Free app

The Goodie Bag app is free for users and participating restaurants. And while the benefits to the restaurant are clear, users get pretty sweet deals, too. Connors said Goodie Bag wants to lower the barrier to be able to afford good, local food products.

Goodie Bag users range from college students to young families to office workers looking to grab some extra treats for their coworkers. Current Charleston partnerships include but are not limited to: The Daily, Bodega, Saffron Cafe and Bakery, Benny Palmetto’s Pizza, Daddy’s Girls Bakery, Great Harvest Bread, Little Peanut Bake Shop and Carolina Butcher & Beer.

Anyone who joins the waitlist for Charleston before Sept. 6 (users have to be new to the app) will get $6 in credits to use for their first Goodie Bag purchase, which often covers an entire purchase.

The Goodie Bag team said it hopes Charleston will feel as passionately about this new way of supporting local businesses — and opening up opportunities for consumers to afford a wider variety of food — as they do.

“A core part of our belief as a company, based on what we’re seeing in the United States, is that most people are trying to save money on food,” Connors said. “We are trying to distinctly not have Goodie Bag be something that’s a barrier to use. You don’t have to meet any criteria. It truly is for anyone and everyone that wants to support local without breaking the bank.”

What’s new

Kiki’s Chicken & Waffles, which has two locations in Columbia, is now open in North Charleston, at 5623 Rivers Ave. Owned by Kitwanda “Kiki” and Tyrone Cyrus, Kiki’s was the first restaurant in the Midlands dedicated to serving chicken and waffles. The Kiki’s menu is divided into categories like classic breakfast, soul food and seafood and, of course, features several iterations of chicken and waffles. Learn more online at kikischickenandwaffles.com.

Ciudad Bonita is now open at 1063 E. Montague Ave. North in Park Circle. The Colombian-style restaurant serves up signature drinks made with natural fruit pulp imported from Colombia, as well as burgers, sausages and grilled steak and chicken. Follow the restaurant on Instagram @ ciudadbonitachs.

Bittermilk Bottling Co. recently launched a new ready to drink cocktail line, Drinkmanship, which features canned cocktails distilled in small batches. The four flavors include Rum Runner, Thai Rum Swizzle, Tropical Negroni and Passionfruit & Elderflower Gin Fizz. Learn more online at bittermilk.com.

What we’ll miss

Johns Island Mexican restaurant, Colectivo, closed its doors after being open for one year. The restaurant announced the closing on Instagram: “It is with profound sadness that we announce the closing of our doors … Maintaining the quality of food and service that you deserve has become unsustainable for our staff and families.”

Downtown brewery Fatty’s Beer Works announced on Instagram that it will be closing its Meeting Street taproom sometime in September. The brewery cited “extraordinary economic times” and “the complexion of the downtown Charleston real estate market” as reasons for closing, but did reassure loyal customers that Fatty’s beer will continue to be produced and sold at local restaurants and stores. Fatty’s beer will, according to the brewery’s announcement “continue to be produced by an outstanding and reputable Charleston brewery.”

Culture

Black Masking and beadwork on display at the Halsey

By Chloe Hogan

Demond Melancon brings a New Orleans tradition into the contemporary art world with his first solo museum exhibition, As Any Means Are Necessary, now on view at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art. Working with a needle and thread to sew glass beads onto canvas, the 46-year-old is well-known as one of the most skilled creators in the Black Masking culture of New Orleans, also referred to as the Mardi Gras Indians. Dating back to the 1800s, Black Masking represents a mix of AfricanAmerican and Native American influences.

Because Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans were racially segregated at the turn of the 20th century, Black New Orleanians in 1909 formed the Zulu Krewe, their own Mardi Gras celebration. As Melacon explains it in a documentary by The New Yorker, the Mardi Gras Indians celebrate how the Native Americans gave enslaved folks refuge on the underground railroad.

Provided

Melancon is pioneering the use of glass beads as a fine arts medium, primarily honoring Black subjects who have been historically excluded from the canon

he said in an interview with the Charleston City Paper. “One year, I went and got my mom, I told her the Indians were out there, and she took me out to follow them all the way Uptown. I kept telling her, get the man’s number. I wanted to talk to someone and be a part of it.

“That night, I went with them until about 2:30 in the morning. The next year, I made a suit and I marched.”

Melancon was recruited into a tribe, where he found an elder willing to teach him how to bead. After 16 years, Melacon was named a “Big Chief” for his skills and his teaching the younger members of the tribe.

about what you do than you do. I’ve studied my beads for over 32 years [but still] have to go in with all guns blazing,” Melancon said. I started thinking about how can I make my beadwork look like I’m using a paint brush? How can I do what Caravaggio does with light? I have to create new conversations that (the culture) has never had in some 250 years.”

Melancon will spend about a year on each suit, but he thinks about them for many years before he puts beads into canvas. “I’m already studying the histories and the iconography that I’m going to use for the next suit a year before I try to make it,” he said.

The Holy City Vintage Market returns

“And know what else the Indians are? The most beautiful thing in New Orleans on Mardi Gras,” Melancon said.

On Mardi Gras morning across New Orleans, from Uptown to the Ninth Ward, Black Maskers emerge from their homes to the beating of drums to parade their way through the streets wearing intricately beaded suits covered in colorful glass beads, feathers and rhinestones.

Inspired as a child

The art that the Black Maskers create is some of the most important contemporary African diasporan art in our country. And Melacon is one of the best makers of those beaded suits. He’s been working at it since 1992, when he was just 14.

“When I was a kid, I used to always run outside to watch the Indians marching by,”

In 2017, he started showing his suits in contemporary art galleries. Melancon said he dreamed of getting his work into a museum collection, and that dream came true in 2016 when the International African American Museum acquired his ornate “Jah Defender Suit.”

Long days of beading

Bringing the Black Masking Culture into the museum and art world has brought new inspiration to Melancon, who takes seriously the responsibility of representation. As he beads in his New Orleans studio from 5 a.m. until 11 p.m. daily, he listens to interviews and documentaries on Black contemporary artists, especially enjoying the ideas of the figurative painter Kerry James Marshall.

“(Marshall) says there cannot be people operating in the world who know more

As Any Means Are Necessary also includes new avenues of his beading practice, such as 2-dimensional portraits and sculptural objects. There’s a gallery wall focused on resistance and protest which includes portraits of Black individuals who have been murdered by police.

“We’re still going through a lot of injustices,” Melancon said. “In New Orleans, we’re still in a bad state since Katrina. We have gentrification, not many resources, which makes it hard to sustain the culture. Beyond that, we’ve got people killing you for dumb stuff in the streets.”

“The perception of racism that lies between people’s heads and their hearts is something that I try to fight every day with my needle and thread.”

As Any Means Are Necessary is on view at the Halsey until Dec. 7. Learn more at halsey.cofc.edu and demondmelancon.com.

Hotel Fiction brings its dreamy new album to Royal American

By Vincent Harris

Jessica Thompson, singer and guitarist for the Athens, Georgia-based band Hotel Fiction, is laughing just a few minutes into our interview, after I described the band’s music — especially their recently released album, Staring At The Sun, as having a certain “blurriness” to it.

“I’ve never heard the word ‘blurriness’ to describe our music,” Thompson said. “I think that’s cool. I really picked up what you put down there.”

But the truth is that blurriness is a big part of what Hotel Fiction does. Starting with their 2021 debut album, Soft Focus, the band has created music that is both ethereal and grounded. Thompson’s guitars are drenched in reverb and delay, giving them a distinctive dreamlike feel.

And Thompson and her musical partner, co-lead singer and keyboard player Jade Long, are very conscious of creating that feel.

“I think that one thing we both appreciate about having an ethereal feel in our songs is how it places a song in a specific setting,” she said. “A dreamy, held out note can really place a song somewhere and take you out of the room you’re listening in. We enjoy that sort of imaginative way of thinking about it.”

Then there are the vocals, often shared by Thompson and Long. Put simply, they’re gorgeous. The two voices mesh and weave around one another like DNA strands. Adn there’s an innocent sparkle in those harmonies, even when the two are singing about darker subjects.

“Sometimes life feels blurry and dreamlike in a lot of ways,” Long said, “A lot of our songs are about mental health, dissociation, or what is going on in your brain, things that you can’t really fully conceive. The music feels like you can get lost in it. That’s something that inspires us at the moment.”

Growing confidence

That ethereal inspiration has been there since the beginning. Thompson and Long met at the University of Georgia back in 2019, while both musicians were working on other projects. But there was an instant connection that neither could deny.

“When we met for this first band practice, we had a lot of musical chemistry,” Thompson said. “So we kept writing together and we’ve been a band ever since then. There have been other members, but the two of us have been constantly in it, writing and recording and touring and performing.”

As for the vocal harmonies, Long said the duo discovered them early on, as well.

“I think we started singing together right off the bat,” she said, “and as we’ve grown in confidence, we’ve also grown vocally, and

I feel like our harmonies have just become stronger and stronger.”

The band’s new album, Staring At The Sun, displays a newfound confidence in Hotel Fiction’s sound, especially in how to best use a recording studio.

“Our first record was us figuring things out,” Long said, “and it was a lot of fun, but now we know so much more about recording and what we want out of our songs, and we can even envision it while we’re writing it. So when we go into the studio, we’re not really afraid of anything.”

The new album has 10 tracks on it, and more than half of them were played live before the album was even recorded, much less released. But Thompson says that over their six-year career, they’ve become known for slipping new material into their shows.

“I think people are really excited about all of them,” Thompson said of the new songs.

“It’s a theme in our band that we play a lot of songs that we’ve written before they’re even released, just because we’re excited about them and they’re what inspires us. And this album kind of grew out of people at shows asking, ‘When is this coming out?’ which is definitely a compliment to us. We’re just excited that the songs are all out now and people have gotten the chance to become familiar with them.”

Death penalty

CONTINUED

Wilson told The New York Times that the decision not to seek the death penalty was primarily driven by concerns about cost and the low likelihood that Murdaugh would ever be put to death.

“There are so many factors you have to consider,” Wilson said. “We felt like this case is complicated enough.”

At sentencing, S.C. Circuit Court Judge Clifton Newman, the Black man who presided over Murdaugh’s trial, noted the irony that Murdaugh and his family had sought the death penalty against more than 30 defendants during their time as county prosecutors.

“This case qualifies under our death penalty statute,” Newman said. “And as I sit here in this courtroom and look around at the many portraits of judges and other court officials, [I] reflect on the fact that over the past century, your family, including you, have been prosecuting people here in this courtroom, and many have received the death penalty, probably for lesser conduct,” Newman said.

South Carolina’s former U.S. Attorney, Bill Nettles of Columbia, said the Murdaugh case raises troubling questions about the state’s death penalty system.

“I don’t think there’s been nearly as fulsome a discussion as there should have been about why it is that people of color and less resources, having committed heinous but arguably not as heinous a crime as what Alex Murdaugh did, faced the death penalty and he didn’t,” Nettles told the BBC.

But does ‘state assisted homicide’ deter crime?

While death penalty advocates generally acknowledge there are problems with the system, they argue that some errors are inevitable in any human endeavor and that the deterrent effects of capital punishment are worth the price.

But research on the subject is mixed, with most recent studies finding that it has no measurable effect compared to a sentence of life in prison. In fact, in a 30-year head-tohead analysis, the murder rate was found to be significantly higher in death penalty states than in those without the death penalty.

In the end, though, critics of the death penalty like the ACLU-SC’s Bowers tend to set aside the numbers and speak of the human toll they say it takes on crime victims’ families, prisoners, executioners and members of the general public.

“We use sterile terms to talk about the death penalty, but it’s a brutal process that brutalizes everybody involved…including the people who work in execution chambers,” Bowers said. “The few who’ve come forward have said it was a life-changing experience and not in a good way.”

One of those few was Craig Baxley, who told NPR in 2022 that he contemplated suicide after executing 10 men on South Carolina’s death row.
