Vulnerable peninsula prepares new plan to ‘live with water’
By Herb Frazier
The challenge of living with water on the Charleston peninsula began in the 1680s when European settlers moved Charles Towne from West Ashley to high ground between the Ashley and Cooper rivers that wasn’t “washed by the tides.”
Between the late-1750s and early 20th century, Charleston completed two adjoining sea walls and Murray Boulevard to deal with the water at the peninsula’s sandy tip to create today’s White Point Garden with its iconic cannons at the Battery.
In 1909 as Charleston emerged from the post-Civil War doldrums, Mayor Robert Goodwyn Rhett envisioned a multi-year plan to extend the boulevard and the concrete sea wall three miles up the Ashley to Hampton Park.
That wall was not built, but the flood risk didn’t subside. Since 2019, Charleston has devised at least two plans to reduce flooding in various locations around the city. But now Charleston has its first city-wide flood risk management plan that looks at what should be done to control the flow of water for the next 25 years.
When freshman Charleston Mayor William Cogswell and other officials recently unveiled the city’s new water plan at City Hall, he said, “The concepts… are aspirational, and they are informative. I am confident they will help us as a community better understand what it means to live with water and more importantly it will help us in the future as we make policy and infrastructure decisions that will impact our city for generations to come.”
The plan is the latest action “toward con-
trolling and mitigating the threats caused not only by climate change and rising sea level, but by our predecessors’ desires to grow the city’s buildable land,” Charleston preservationist Christina Rae Butler told the Charleston City Paper
The city’s current leadership has inherited a “complex and multi-faceted landscape that took more than 300 years of human intervention to create,” said Butler, author of Lowcountry at High Tide. “Looking to the past is key in understanding what worked, what didn’t, what lies below our city streets, and how to respond to the engineering challenges created by earlier generations.”
What’s in the plan
The water plan builds on a 2019 Dutch Dialogues Charleston report, the 2021 Charleston City Plan and the proposed peninsula protection system and others, said Andy Sternad, an architect and planner at Waggonner & Ball, the New Orleans-based firm that led the city’s water-control plans.
This foundational strategy seeks to manage long-term flood risks from storms and severe rainfall, sea level and groundwater rise, tidal flooding and predict where the city is most at risk. It anticipates sea levels that rise 14 inches by 2050 and 2 feet to 4 feet by 2070, based on the city’s sea level rise strategy.
Sternad said the plan does more than recommend ways to keep the city dry in the future. It is also an “opportunity plan” to look at steps that can be taken to improve the quality of today in the city, he said.
At least two more steps are neces-
sary, however, to put the plan into action, Sternad said.
Still to do
The new plan delves into how vulnerable the city is to flooding, but it does not estimate the cost of the more than 100 small and large planned water control projects, he said. To calculate that cost, the city must first develop a comprehensive stormwater model to help determine whether the cost of a project justifies the investment to mitigate possible flood damage.
“To calculate the cost of a project versus the value in savings a model is needed to quantify the benefits and impact in greater detail,” he explained. The plan recommends that the city develop the model, he said. “Fragments of the model exist, but there is no comprehensive model city wide,” he added.
Also recommended:
New zoning rules. These would prioritize the best use of the high ground. It also encourages using low-lying areas for future marsh migration, storing sea water when levels rise and repairing the ecology.
Adaptive. It says city leaders should remain flexible to update and adapt strategies over time to protect ecologically sensitive areas and accentuate Charleston’s sense of place around water. Risk. The plan could also benefit inland communities, which risk being flooded if there is no place for water to go down stream. Sternad said.
Regional. City leaders recognized a

County awards contract for Main Road flyover
Charleston County Council on Sept. 10 awarded a contract for a flyover project to improve traffic at the perennially clogged intersection of U.S. Highway 17 and Main Road.
Council members Herb Sass, Teddie Pryor, Kylon Middleton, Brantley Moody, Joe Boykin and Jenny Honeycutt voted in favor of the measure. Council members Larry Kobrovsky, Rob Wehrman and Henry Darby voted against it.
Part of the reason for the split vote is the project’s price tag — estimated costs have tripled since 2020 from about $111 million to $354 million, as reported online earlier in the Charleston City Paper Upon funding, officials expect it could take between three and four years before the flyover is finished. —Skyler Baldwin

5 Statehouse races to watch in 2024
By Jack O’Toole
Palmetto State Democrats and Republicans don’t agree on much, but they’re of one mind on this: Ruby-red South Carolina, where the GOP holds every statewide office and enjoys supermajorities in both chambers of the state legislature, isn’t destined to turn blue in 2024.
But with Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of the Democratic ticket and no statewide offices to contend with, Democrats believe they have a clear shot at retaking four historically blue seats in Greenwood, Clarendon, Charleston and Hampton counties that flipped unexpectedly in 2022 — the first step, they say, in a long road back to competitiveness.
“We’re running a very targeted effort where we know we can win,” S.C. Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain told the Charleston City Paper. “And the top priorities for us are to get back those state House seats — those Democratic seats — that we lost in 2022.”
Republicans, on the other hand, see several possible pick-ups in the S.C. Senate due to changing demographics and former President Donald Trump’s strength in rural areas. But they also say they aren’t taking anything for granted, even in South Carolina.
“There’s only two ways to run a race — unopposed or scared,” S.C. Republican Party Chair Drew McKissick said. “We have to do the things that we need to do. That’s how you keep winning.”
That’s the playing field as the parties see it . And according to Democratic and Republican insiders, these are the races to watch.
Senate District 41 (Charleston)
In what may be the most high-profile Statehouse race of the cycle, Democratic Charleston businesswoman Rita Adkins
is squaring off with Holy City Republican Rep. Matt Leber, following Leber’s bitter primary fight with incumbent GOP Sen. Sandy Senn of Charleston.
First elected in 2016, Senn was one of three Republican “sister Senators” who voted in 2023 against the state’s six-week abortion ban, all of whom were defeated in this year’s primaries. In a primary race decided by just 31 votes, Leber defeated Senn largely on the abortion issue, despite charges of domestic violence and alleged ties to a radical right-wing militia.
Political observers describe Adkins and Leber as hard workers, and partisans on both sides tell the City Paper they expect their candidate to win.
House District 116 (Charleston)
One of the four targeted seats by Democrats, this district is currently represented by Leber, who narrowly defeated then-Democratic incumbent Chardale Murray in 2022 and is now the GOP nominee for Senate District 41.
This year’s House race pits Republican businessman and Navy veteran James Teeple against Democratic nominee Charlie Murray, who serves as pastor to the First Baptist Church of James Island.
House
District 122 (Hampton)
Freshman incumbent GOP Rep. Bill Hager is another of the four targeted Republicans. He beat Democratic Rep. Shedron Williams two years ago. A retired engineer, Hager supported permitless carry and the sixweek abortion ban.
Opposing Hager this cycle is businesswoman and Town of Gifford official Audrey Williams. Her Democratic campaign stresses Williams’s strong business background and dedication to community development.
House District 64 (Clarendon)
A third Democratic target is Republican Rep. Fawn Pedalino, who sent first-term Rep. Kimberly Johnson packing in 2022. Like Gibson, Pedalino supported the state’s six-week abortion ban and was a primary sponsor of an election bill to limit the number of ballots that a single voter could witness.
She’s being challenged this cycle by former Clarendon 2 School Board member Quadri Bell. He says he’s running to improve public education, expand Medicaid and create jobs in the district.
Senate District 26 (Richland)
Pitting Democratic Rep. Russell Ott against Republican Jason Guerry, this seat opened up with the retirement of 47-year Democratic Sen. Nikki Setzler.
Ott, who manages his family’s farm in Calhoun County, became the Democratic nominee after a hard-fought primary contest with Sen. Dick Harpootlian, whose Richland seat was moved to Charleston in redistricting. Guerry says he’s running to improve vocational education, roads and mental health treatment options.
Five other races to watch
• House 12 (Greenwood): Rep. Daniel Gibson (R) vs. health administrator Jumelle Brooks (D).
• House 75 (Richland): Rep. Heather Bauer, (D) vs. former Rep. Kirkman Finlay (R).
• Senate 17 (Fairfield): Sen. Mike Fanning (D) vs. businessman Everett Stubbs (R).
• Senate 35 (Sumter): Former Camden Mayor Jeffrey Graham (D) vs. Camden businessman Mike Jones (R).
• Senate 36 (Clarendon): Sen. Kevin Johnson (D) vs. Sumter school board trustee Jeffrey Zell (R).
Blotter of the Week
An allegedly drunken man reportedly screamed obscenities Sept. 4 at a trash can on Savannah Hwy., punching it in front of Charleston police. We’re usure what the recepticle did to elicit the reaction, but we bet it deserved it. He was arrested for disorderly conduct.
That narrows it down Mount Pleasant police on Aug. 28 attempted to stop a speeding motorcycle on U.S. Highway 17, saying the rider was traveling in a “reckless manner” and that it was “quickly apparent” that he would not catch up. The officer described the bike as an unknown model, but it “appeared to be a sport bike.” Got it, Sherlock. Put out the BOLO.
Flashin’ the goods
need to take a regional approach to flood mitigation. City Councilman Keith Waring noted that whenever there was a “billion dollar need” for roads, bridges and green space local governments have pulled together to get them done.
“We have not broached drainage on a regional basis,” Waring said during the City Hall meeting. “There needs to be a stream of revenue dedicated to drainage on a regional basis,” he stressed.
Cogswell responded: “We need money to flow like water.”
Neighborhood boundaries
The plan divides Charleston into at least 18 drainage basins where water flows
into major rivers and creeks. The basins alongside its potential plans and on-going projects will serve as planning areas, which have its own unique water risks and characteristics.
The mayor said Charlestonians should not consider themselves as residents of any particular neighborhood. “People do need to start thinking about these (water basins) as part of their community,” he said. “You live in Avondale, but you’re also part of this drainage basin. That is an important aspect of living with water.”
The approach to divide the city by geographic areas simplifies the plan, said Charleston anti-flooding activist Susan Lyons, chairman of Groundwell.
“People can go to where they live and work in those basins and speak to that,” she said. “[The mayor] is asking for public engagement, and I endorse that. I am hearing a lot of concern about flooding, more than what I
heard seven years ago when (Groundswell) started after Hurricane Irma.” That storm washed the Lowcountry with a 9.92-foot surge, the highest since 1940.
The current challenge, she said, is to take some of the current water control projects that are underway or proposed and keep them connected to the new plan.
“In an ideal world,” she said, “if we can get the work done, and get it all paid for after the 25-year point, we’d be safe, if we did it according to this plan.”
One of the proposed projects picks up where Rhett left off more than 100 years ago. The city is studying along with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers the idea of a barrier on the peninsula’s western edge that would extend from the Coast Guard station to the Ashley River bridges. When asked if she thinks it will take another 100 years to build the barrier, Lyons laughed and said “by then we’ll be under water, and it will be moot.”
North Charleston police on Sept. 6 pulled over a man for driving with an expired tag. While the man was looking for his vehicle registration, he revealed a black zipper bag with a marijuana leaf printed on it. The officer then searched the vehicle and found a joint, which police said was seized and destroyed. The driver was let off with a warning. Tip: Keep away from the hemp branding.

College of Charleston unveils renovated arts building
By Chloe Hogan
The College of Charleston (CofC) unveiled in August the anticipated new Albert Simons Center for the Arts following the building’s multimillion dollar, three-yearlong renovation. Those who studied at the College and took classes in the old Simons Center will be blown away upon seeing the building’s transformation: from dingy, dated and dark, to bright, clean and spacious, with updates to technology, sustainability and accessibility features.
The four-story Simons Center, located on St. Philip Street in the heart of the college’s campus, closed in the fall of 2021 to undergo extensive renovations. Students studying arts management, theater, music and more had classes relocated to different campus buildings during the interim. August marked the first time students were taking classes in the new facilities.
Improvements to the Simons Center include additions to the theater department such as a new, two-story black box theater, as well a state-of-the-art costume shop, scene shop and theater design studio. Art students in will enjoy new studios for printmaking and drawing, and revel in the addition of two kilns for ceramics, as well as spray booths for use of aerosols. There’s also
improved exhaust venting in studio spaces and a gallery for student solo exhibitions and guest artists.
“The new students just take it for granted, but the ones who know what it was like to work in that cramped-up, old studio are totally thrilled by it,” Professor Barbara Duvall said of the new printmaking studio.
“It’s a huge improvement.”
Students on the arts management or music performance tracks will get to take advantage of the new recording studio space, the digital lab, music practice rooms and improved acoustic experiences in the recital hall.
The building also has improvements in its mechanical, electrical and plumbing functions.
Fulfilling a need
Built in 1979, the Simons Center served around 800 students. With the largest firstyear class in the college’s history enrolled this semester — around 11,000 students — the renovation of the facility could not have come at a better time, instructors say.
Theater professor Todd McNerney said the college has been working towards this renovation since before he started at CofC back in 1995.
“The planning of this goes back to the
significant growth of the entire institution between 1973 and 1998. During that 25-year period, the institution sort of exploded. The need for this has existed for 20 years or more,” McNerney said.
“The Simons Center was built to support about 800 students of a campus population that was maybe 3,000, where they’d come and take an arts appreciation class or two. These days, we have approximately 800 arts majors alone.”
What took so long to get the ball rolling?
According to McNerney, the renovation got split into two separate projects, with the decision made in 2008 to renovate the Cato center first. It faces Calhoun Street and houses the Halsey Institute. That got done in 2009.
“For a number of reasons, the price tag made it difficult or challenging or impossible. As time goes on, that price tag changes. You invest in the institution, and the state invests money in one portion of a building, but then there are other buildings on our campus that need attention. And like with any construction project, you discover things along the way that slow you down.”
Other renovations also happened in segments, he explained, like the Rita Liddy Hollings Science Center, which opened on Coming Street in the fall of 2018 after a four-year, $65 million renovation.
Updates to the Simons Center include a new costume shop (above), black box theater and more
“The renovation of the Simons Center offers all kinds of new things to our students,” he said, “and allows us to be positioned to deliver outstanding arts education for another 40 years.”
From 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 14, the college will host the grand opening of the new Simons Center, featuring performances, creative work on display, and an opportunity to meet the new dean of the School of the Arts, Jayme Host, who started in July. Learn more online at cofc.edu.

Give Spoleto-like love to MOJA Festival
This year’s 11-day MOJA Arts Festival is just around the corner. We should all be excited by what’s ahead.
During its 40 years, MOJA’s rich blend of African and American and Caribbean arts has become a muchanticipated event that brings everyone together. If you haven’t experienced the vibrance, sounds, scents and passion that this festival brings to the Holy City, you need to carve out some time to partake in events from Sept. 26 to Oct. 6.
Kudos to Charleston City Council for appropriating $300,000 in 2023 and 2024 to grow the financial support of MOJA so it can become a fall festival on par with spring’s Piccolo Spoleto. This year, MOJA has an annual budget of about $500,000 and there are plans to grow it to a $1 million year-round event by 2027 with help from institutional and individual donors as well as leadership by a MOJA-related foundation.
Grammy-winning musician Charlton Singleton, who was invited last year to serve as MOJA’s artistic director, says the festival celebrates culture emanating from Gullah and, ultimately, West African roots. And that, he said, links everyone in the Lowcountry.
“Music, dance, visual arts — just about all of what we think of being ‘popular culture’ in today’s society can be traced back and is rooted in western Africa,
which eventually became the Gullah community, which spread to the Caribbean. It definitely connects all of us,” Singleton told the City Paper.
The performer and educator said Charleston, which thrives on tourism, can further enhance MOJA to make it one of the best festivals in the Southeast.
“We have the history, location and local support to make it so,” he said. “We have all talked about it being bigger than anything. All we have to do now is work together to make it a reality.”
This year’s MOJA Arts Festival will offer lots of fun for everyone. You can enjoy jazz, gospel, comedy and even “gangstagrass,” an interesting blend of bluegrass and hip-hop. On Oct. 2 will be the always popular MOJA on King evening block party with outdoor dining, live music, dancing and vendors who sell arts and crafts.
MOJA also is exciting for area students. “In addition to kids getting the opportunity to experience many free events, performances and exhibits that are often not presented to them on a regular basis, we have our ‘4th Grade Readout’ program,” Singleton added. “The ‘4th grade Readout’ is an annual highlight, with 4th graders from participating Charleston County schools being given a selected book about African American history to take home and read.”
Get your mojo working this year by enjoying MOJA.
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 wit and wisdom of Ted Lasso
We’re pretty late to the national party celebrating the Apple television show Ted Lasso, but we’ve been making up for lost time with some major league binging.
Mainly, we didn’t want to pay Apple, already too rich, any more money. But after being assaulted in social media with common sense clips from the show and with a new season reportedly in the works soon, it seemed like time to figure out what all the fuss was about.
And we’re glad we did. The show about an American football coach hired to lead an English football (soccer) team is hilarious and heartwarming. It’s filled with aphorisms and advice, zingers and zest. Its characters jump off the screen. If Mark Twain or Will Rogers were around today, either would have made a similar show years ago. This is a comedy that all politicians should watch, if they haven’t already. It highlights how to deal with people better in modern society. Instead of everything between political parties being confrontational and too negative, the show is a lesson in how people can get along and work

together, despite differences of opinions. To get an idea of kinds of the sayings in each episode, here are some insightful, inspiring lessons from America’s coach:
Inquire: “Be curious, not judgmental.”
Possibilities: “You say impossible, but all I hear is ‘I’m possible.’”
Potential: “I do love a locker room. It smells like potential.”
Success: “For me, success is not about the wins and losses. It’s about helping these young fellas be the best versions of themselves on and off the field.”
Look ahead: “You know what the happiest animal on Earth is? It’s a goldfish. It has a 10-second memory. Be a goldfish.”
Challenge yourself: “Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn’t it? If you’re comfortable while you’re doing it, you’re probably doing it wrong.”
Put in the time: “As the man once said, ‘The harder you work, the luckier you get.’ ”
Gut check: “Just listen to your gut, and on the way down to your gut, check in with your heart. Between those two things, they’ll let you know what’s what.”
Opportunity: “I think things come
into our lives to help us get from one place to a better one.”
Ethics: “Doing the right thing is never the wrong thing.”
Hope: “It may not work out how you think it will or how you hope it does. But believe me, it will all work out.”
Now: “Living in the moment, it’s a gift. That’s why they call it the present.”
Keep at it: “Isn’t the idea of ‘never give up’ one of them things we always talk about in sports? And shouldn’t that apply to people too?”
Also recently in the news, though not as inspiring as any episode of Ted Lasso: Junket. S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson’s recent jaunt to the U.S.-Mexico border was little more than a political stunt, notwithstanding denials by the wannabe
governor obsessed with illegal immigration. Sue Berkowitz, director of policy at South Carolina Appleseed Legal Justice Center, described Wilson’s stunt as a dog whistle to The Post and Courier: “America is a safe haven. People are coming here because they’re trying to do what’s best for their children, because they’re facing crime in their country, not because they want to come here and commit crimes in our country.”
Wonder how many advertising agency cameras the GOP had at the border for Wilson and the two other junketing Republican attorneys general?

Throw a stone in downown Charleston and you’ll hit a boutique hotel. Defined loosely as a small, sophisticated hotel in a city’s urban district, boutique hotels offer what larger lodging establishments cannot: Curated experiences tailored to meet travelers’ needs.
Charleston’s boutique hotels have everything from chartered boat trips to cooking classes to wine blending. Rooms are bigger, mini bars are stocked with locally sourced goods — and a chic hotel bar is a given. You’ll find popular restaurants in hotels now, too, with more than one helmed by an award-winning chef.
People around the globe are on the hunt for what Forbes described as “elevated experiences.” And in a city that’s been ranked No. 1 in the United States for 12 consecutive years by Condé Nast, that’s what visitors are likely to find at one of the peninsula’s many boutique hotels.
The rise of boutique properties
You can’t talk about travelers flocking to Charleston’s hotels without (albeit, briefly) talking about the city’s history of tourism.
In A Short History of Charleston, Robert N. Rosen writes of Mayor Joe Riley’s first term in the late 1970s: “The city embarked on numerous development projects, the boldest of which was Charleston Place… Riley prevailed in building Charleston Place after the Historic Charleston Foundation, other preservation groups, and the city ultimately negotiated a compromise for the development.”
The story around The Charleston Place’s origins speaks both to the need for luxury lodging in an increasingly popular Charleston — and to the constant discussions around what kind of hotels are allowed in our small, historic city. While The Charleston Place was built on a large scale and features over 400 rooms, today the city restricts what hotel properties can be built and opened in a specific overlay zone.
The rules and restrictions laid out by the city dictate that most hotels operate on a smaller scale — hence the large number of boutique properties. For the parameters of this story, the Charleston City Paper considered hotels with less than 100 rooms.
Any hotel built south of the Crosstown must have 50 rooms or less (unless it falls into the full-service corridor bounded by King Street on the west, Meeting Street on the east, Mary Street on the south and Line Street on the north, or has applied for specific ordinances) and must meet a slew of requirements — from not leading to a loss in dwellings to not displacing more than 25% of the linear frontage of existing ground floor storefront retail space.

King and George streets. As he tells it, it’s not easy to open a hotel in Charleston.
“I knew from the very beginning that it was going to be a challenge,” he said of opening the 24-room hotel. “I saw the complexities of doing it as justified because Charleston wouldn’t be as amazing as it is if this was easy… If the process is easy, it wouldn’t be such a perfect city in so many ways.”
Part of the process in opening The Pinch was restoring two of its structures (it built a third to complete the property) that date back to as early as 1843 and are included on the National Register of Historic Places. Cook said the Method Co. team worked closely with the city’s Board of Architectural Review (BAR) and local architects on the restoration.
“I feel an obligation to do something creative that the locals are going to be proud of,” Cook said.
Good neighbors
Increasingly, Charleston hotels are marketing themselves not just as places for outof-towners, but as go-to spots for locals, too.
The Restoration Hotel, located on Wentworth Street, opened in 2016.
“The thing that really attracted me to this hotel was they were trying to enhance the neighborhood, not just be visitors from out of town,” said The Restoration’s corporate director of sales and marketing, Karen Winn. “It’s about being a good neighbor and letting people come into spaces and just feel like it’s part of their neighborhood.”
The Restoration offers a revolving slate of community-focused series, including one that featured Charleston changemakers, a poetry series and an ongoing weekly, rooftop yoga class. “All of these things exist for locals, too,” Winn said. “It’s not just for the overnight traveler.”
Like The Restoration, State Street’s The Loutrel offers a variety of experiences tailored to tourists and locals alike, like its afternoon rooftop tea. The tea service includes Charleston-based Oliver Pluff & Co. teas and pays homage to the Charles Towne tea parties of the 1770s.
“It’s important for locals to be able to have some fun experiences,” said The Loutrel’s general manager, Karl von Ramm.
Part and parcel of running a boutique hotel is not just catering to any customer who may walk through the door, but in keeping your pulse on the needs of today’s consumers. Tony Liartis, the general manager of The Grand Bohemian hotel, described the hospitality industry as one that’s in “constant evolution.”
“You know there’s always a new shiny thing. The test is: OK, two years from now, where are we?” he said. The Grand Bohemian, part of the Autograph Collection by Marriott, opened on Wentworth Street in 2015. Liartis said that he and his team are always working to “find that balance between the core things of who we are, but also, not saying that is all that we are.”
The (evolving) guest experience
Liartis said today’s travelers are looking for curated, sophisticated experiences — words that are, in today’s world, synonymous with boutique. Travelers are also looking for experiences rooted in place, especially when they’re staying in a historic city like Charleston.
Karen Winn at The Restoration said that the hotel wants to feel like — and be — a place for travelers and locals alike. “The idea of the brand was, when you go to a city and walk up to the concierge and say, ‘Hey, where do locals eat, tell me the truth,’ [The Restoration is] the environment where locals go, so our guests are already in that spot.”
At The Ryder Hotel, general manager Irvin Dinkel said that the 91-room property, which opened in 2021, is “experiencedriven,” and noted the popularity of the hotel’s gear garage, which includes longboards, bikes and beach equipment for guests to check out. You can even rent a Polaroid camera that comes with a roll of film, taking your walking tour photo captures to the next level.
The Palmetto Hotel, at Cumberland and East Bay streets, opened in March 2023.
The hotel’s director of sales and marketing, Shannon Hartman, said that guests staying at The Palmetto are looking for “authentic experiences and connections.”
“With a boutique hotel, it really is an extension of the community and [we want it] to feel very authentic to Charleston,” Hartman said. “There’s a lot that goes into the branding and the design and the aesthetic, so that you feel the sense of place and design… All of that makes a connection with the guest, and they feel part of something.”
Guests are looking to feel part of something for longer stints, too.
Randy Cook of The Pinch said that his team has noticed that travelers are spending more time in Charleston — extending a typical weekend trip to four or five days long. Each of the Pinch’s 24 rooms includes a washer and dryer and full kitchen. “The rooms have a residential nature to them,” Cook said. “That was something very intentional, where there’s something comforting and relaxing, like being at home.”
Increasingly boutique properties are offering “residences,” larger suites and townhomes that are available for weekslong stays — and longer.
You can find residences at Zero George hotel, which features 16 rooms and five residences and is owned by the Easton Porter Group. Co-founder and CEO of Easton Porter Group, Dean Andrews, said that he’s seen guests who work remotely rent out a residence for a month and then stay another month. And another.
Part of the appeal, of course, are the historic, aesthetically pleasing accommodations and concierge services. Andrews said Zero George’s appeal goes beyond that, though. “One of the things we do that’s important is having people aware of what a cool city they’re coming into,” he said.
After a guest has booked a stay, Zero George reaches out with information about Charleston, from details about art galleries to walking tours to museums. “It gives you the breadth of range,” Andrews said. “Before you even come down here, you already have a sense of connection.”
The bigger picture
Beyond connecting with travelers and locals looking for special experiences, boutique hotels are intricately woven into the local job market.
Chris Campbell, vice president of strategy and external affairs at the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CACVB), said Charleston hotels are job creators. “Regionally, this [hospitality] industry is employing more people than it ever has, close to 54,000 people region wide,” he said.
The College of Charleston (CofC) even has a department dedicated to the city’s biggest industry, the Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTMT). Daniel Guttentag, director of the CofC’s Office of Tourism Analysis, said that
Charming Charleston, cha-ching, cha-ching
The City of Charleston established a tourism commission in 1984, and was one of the first cities in the country to do so. Today, the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CACVB), also referred to as Explore Charleston, represents Charleston as a destination through, according to its website, “sustainable tourism marketing and management strategies.”
“We take, very seriously, our role in destination management,” said Chris Campbell of the CACVB. “And that’s an important part of what we do, and how we ensure that the industry evolves in a way that’s sustainable and responsible — and is looking through the lens of residents and quality of life.”
Part of a resident’s quality of life can be attributed, quite simply, to money. And tourists are bringing in plenty of it. Campbell said that almost 25% of sales in the Charleston region are attributed to tourism.
“[Hotels] create tax revenue, which is incredibly important to the municipalities and helps offset what might otherwise be property taxes paid by all of us as residents,” Campbell said. “There is downstream revenue from these overnight guests who are taking tours, dining in restaurants, shopping in stores, taking in theaters, visiting the museums, renting the kayaks.”

he teaches the importance of tourism to his students on their first day of class.
“Everybody should take this class,” he said. “You cannot understand this city if you don’t understand tourism. And, if you want a job, it’s a great way to find work.”
For now, boutique hotels show no sign of slowing down. This month, The Ansonborough, formerly The Ansonborough Inn, reopens on Hasell Street. Purchased by Wrights Investments, the renovated 45-room property pays homage to Charleston’s Lord Anson.
President and CEO of Wright Investments, Larry Wright Jr., said that his team came into the project operating out of respect for both the history of the property and the neighborhood.
“We really wanted to run towards the local,” he said. “We don’t have the egotism to believe that we understand Charleston better than anybody. We wanted to leverage and embrace what is already so special about the community. It’s already a place that is aesthetically, historically, culturally so rich that you just want to be a part of that.”

Can’t find the words? You’re not alone.
By Toni Reale, special to City Paper
About half of customers that phone the shop to place a flower order get stumped when asked what they want the card to say. Just so you know, it’s standard to include a card with a flower delivery. So the surprise interaction can be quite comical at times. Some people know exactly what flowers they want — they know the desired arrangement size and the recipient’s favorite color or flower. They even know our unique style and are good with the farm-to-table look. They can check all the boxes we ask of them.
But when we get to the part of the conversation where we ask what they want their note to say, the phone will go silent. Many have said, “Oh, I was afraid you would ask.”
Or “what should I say?”
Or even, “Can you just write something for me?” Worse yet is when the sender wants to say nothing and says, “They’ll know who it is from.” That’s a non-starter because most florists will not deliver flowers anonymously. Why? It’s kind of creepy and confusing for us and the recipient. So don’t do it.
This trend of uncertainty around what to write has noticeably increased over the past 12 years of owning Roadside Blooms. Sometimes, a customer will get cold feet on the phone and ask to call back later with a message or choose to email us instead of sharing thoughts over the phone. I’m certain the hesitation isn’t limited to just cards, but extends to many forms of written expression, including social media and emails.
Sending gifts or a card is often correlated with a special occasion such as a birthday, new job, loss of a loved one or an anniversary. People feel pressure to say exactly the right thing for that specific occasion. There is a fear of being misunderstood should they go off script. Nobody wants to say the wrong thing and cause offense if their words were misconstrued. On the other hand, there is a fear of not saying enough.
The societal pressure of saying the right thing at the right time can lead to perfectionism and second guessing so many revert to playing it safe with a simple “Happy Birthday” or “Congratulations.” While it’s fine to use these straightforward statements, we can give the recipient a bit more as the words in the card often outweigh the accompanying gift.
I believe we as a species are yearning for deeper connection to one another. We’ve gotten used to responding to and receiving sentiment with emojis. We all find it an easier way to communicate, although it is incredibly superficial. I remember thinking after posting about the passing of my father seven years ago that it was kind of sad how many more “care” and “sad” emojis I received rather than some sort of real acknowledgement from people I care about as to what I was going through. Since then, I’ve tried to make responses to such things more personable.
Just say something authentic
My best advice is to let go of all that anxiety and worry about finding the right words and just say something authentic. I believe it’s better to be vulnerable and say something that isn’t perfect than to just be generic. Get to the heart of why you are sending the gift in the first place. Here are some examples of how to turn something otherwise generic into something meaningful without trying too hard.
Instead of just saying “Happy Birthday” to a coworker, say something like “Happy Birthday to the one who brings muchneeded humor to the workplace. I appreciate your light-heartedness.” If the coworker is actually a downer, you can acknowledge hard work, dedication or another positive attribute. Just saying “Happy Birthday” suggests you just went through the motions of ordering flowers for them from the office. With a little effort, you can change that narrative.
Instead of saying “Sorry for your loss,” try something like, “We are deeply sorry for the loss of your uncle. Please know that we are here with heartfelt support.” Be sure to mention the name of the person who passed.
I say “I love you” to my friends all the time. I think we should normalize telling people that we care and why. I know I like to hear it. I had a friend once write in a card to me that they loved me and were grateful for my friendship because I’m a good listener and they felt seen by me. That meant so much. I don’t even remember what gift that was attached to but I’ll always remember how I felt when I read that card.
Cuisine
Gabriel Haaz aims to reinvent Charleston Place’s dining
By Helen Mitternight
Diners visiting the four restaurants at The Charleston Place — Charleston Grill, Thoroughbred Club, Palmetto Café and Meeting at Market — will see a shift in menus this fall as the culinary influence shifts from the property’s long-time chef, Michelle Weaver, to the incoming culinary director, Gabriel Haaz, a Mexican-born chef who wants to elevate the menus to reflect his Michelin-star experience.
“Michelle Weaver [is] a phenomenal chef, and what she has done for Charleston Grill and the community is remarkable,” Haaz said. “I think the approach to culinary offerings we have now is really good, so it’s just: How do we elevate or enhance the offerings?”
Part of that elevation is incorporating caviar into the menu at Thoroughbred Club.
“We’re adding a section of signature caviar custom-made for us by one of the suppliers I used to work with in San Francisco,” Haaz said. “Literally every single dish will have a caviar component, but you can eat it without caviar, too. ”
Above all, Haaz doesn’t want dishes overcomplicated.
“We want to focus on: How do you make something basic, perfect?” he said. “I don’t want to give too much away, but one of my favorite dishes is a variation of pommes frites (French fries), a ‘Duck Pommes Anna’ made from thinly-sliced potatoes that we layer down and season with herbinfused duck fat and Bulls Bay Sea Salt, then cook for one and a half hours.
incorporate native staples like rice, grits and shrimp into his offerings to ensure the food and beverages “make sense of the place we are and have a story to tell.”
“Whether it’s local produce and some staple dishes. We want to make things you would serve to your most beloved person but make it elevated, but we also don’t want to cross that thin line where you don’t want to mess around with flavors. Like, with shrimp and grits, whenever you are doing something better, you’d better make sure you’re not destroying what you already have.”
Seasonality is also paramount.
“You have to use produce only when it’s ready to be used,” Haaz said. “Otherwise, it will not be at its peak or taste how it should taste. Seasonality requires a lot of respect.”
That approach comes from lessons learned during his earliest experiences with food as a kid in Mexico, when he would steal away from his cousins to spy on his grandmother cooking.
“Literally, cooking has been in my blood since I have memory,” Haaz said. “I remember I would wake up ridiculously early just to go with my grandmother to the local market.
“ I was only thinking about the food itself but never realizing what an overall experience it was. It’s about the hospitality you live, not just the dish.” —Gabriel Haaz
“We press for a day or two to remove excess fat, and then we deep fry it on really high heat and it goes with a French Tomme de Savoie cheese Espuma and charred Vidalia onion dust. It’s a dish that sounds simple, but you need to be able to execute it to perfection.”
In addition to the salt harvested from Bulls Bay, Haaz said he will continue to
“I was super young, but she just grabbed me and walked super fast, saying hi to everyone, to the suppliers or farmers. I can remember tasting, just as we do right now, by the hand of my grandma.”
Later, Haaz studied at the Culinary Institute of Mexico and decided he never wanted to work in a hotel because restaurants were where the good cooking was. An internship at the Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island convinced him to embrace a broader perspective.
“It literally changed my way of thinking about what hospitality was,” he said. “At the beginning, I was only thinking about the food itself but never realizing what an overall experience it was. It’s about the hospitality you live, not just the dish.”
A few stints at other Ritz-Carlton locations
along with opening the Big Sky Resort as culinary director for the property’s parent group, Montage, the world’s only Forbes 5-star hotel company cemented his love of the hospitality industry. Time spent at Martín Berasategui Olazábal’s Basque restaurant in Spain, which has earned multiple Michelin stars, solidified his love of fine dining.
Seeing Stars
When he was asked by Charleston’s Beemok Hospitality Collection if he was ready to enjoy a little “Southern hospitality” at The Charleston Place, he leaped at the chance.
“I met the most amazing group of people who guided me through its history,” he recalled about his first visit to Charleston Place. “I fell in love and I’m really excited to be a part of this reimagination of the place,
to continue elevating and enhancing the culinary experience.”
As for whether Haaz is going for a Michelin star for any of Charleston Place’s restaurants, he avoids prognostications.
“I don’t want to say yes or no,” he said. “For now, I want to focus on making every single one of our offerings perfect. I don’t want to over-focus on Michelin or James Beard or anything similar; I want to focus on great quality, and teaching and mentoring every single one of our culinarians, as well as blending in with the community.
“The food scene in Charleston is very big. From what I’ve seen, it’s so diverse and keeps changing and I want to make sure we are part of that change and ambassadors for that change. We are literally the most iconic hotel in the Charleston area, so we need to be part of it.”

Zelnick brings comedy tour to Theatre 99
By Ryan Biddix
The New York–based comedian Lucas Zelnick, renowned for a razor-sharp wit and considerable social media following, brings his Highly Laffeinated Comedy Tour to Theatre 99 on Sept. 19. A second late night performance was added last week due to demand.
Zelnick’s journey from the hallowed halls of Stanford University to the gritty comedy clubs of New York City is nothing short of remarkable. Entering college with his eyes set on the world of business and Wall Street, the Covid-19 pandemic provided a life-altering twist that set Zelnick on a completely different career course.
“I was interested in comedy when I applied to and started attending Stanford,” he explained. “But it was during Covid-19, so I couldn’t perform, and I still wasn’t in a place where I could do it professionally.”
Between his first and second year in the Stanford MBA program during the summer in his New York City home, he launched Sesh Comedy Club on the Lower East Side with his comedian friends.
“At the time, we were just trying to produce shows and get on stage and perform a bunch, but the club ended up spreading via word of mouth,” he recalled. “It was through doing that many shows I realized that I could handle the schedule of a professional comedian.” He embraced his career pivot and became a full-time comedian, eventually selling the club to fund his comedy tour across the country.
Though he’s popular on social media, performing on stage and getting his comedy legs the old-fashioned way has proved important
“ When there are moments that feel especially meaningful, funny or memorable in the live performance, I’m usually lucky enough to have footage of it to put online.” —Lucas Zelnick
to the 28-year-old comic, who gets some of his most viral clips through skillful crowd work.
A signature New York wit
Growing up in Manhattan has profoundly impacted Zelnick’s comedic style. He describes himself as a “snarky, out-of-touch, sarcastic elitist.” Although divisive, his style draws in energetic and dynamic crowds, he said.
“I will say, growing up in New York, you learn to argue with and talk to people at a very young age and you learn to fend for yourself,” he noted. “I think I bring that energy on stage with an argumentative, self-confident sort of vibe that I think has mostly served me well comedically.”
Zelnick’s online presence is nearly as large as his personality. He’s gained 100 million views and has 700,000 followers on social media platforms, especially TikTok.
“I think about live performances first and just keep the camera rolling,” he said. “When there are moments that feel espe-

cially meaningful, funny or memorable in the live performance, I’m usually lucky enough to have footage of it to put online.”
Although his rise to social media stardom seems rather rapid, Zelnick remains grounded about his newfound fame. “It’s opened up the avenue to me making this a career,” he said. “And sometimes it means that I get stopped on the street, but I’m not exactly Matt Damon.”
For anyone who’s watched Zelnick’s taped performances or Tik Tok clips, it’s evident that crowd work is where he shines. When asked about his approach to hecklers, he told the Charleston City Paper that he takes a measured approach.
“I would say the only thing I focus on is being in a very calm and very relaxed mindstate. What I try to do with any improvised comedy is be myself, react honestly and do that as quickly as possible,” he explained. His ability to self-deprecate and stay authentic turns these candid conversations into memorable moments.
The Highly Laffeinated Comedy Tour has taken Zelnick to many cities, introducing new and novel experiences that he said improve his comedic skills.
“Those shows in smaller cities make me a better comedian, because I have to appeal to people with a much different worldview than mine,” he said.
His ability to respond with an attitude of charm and directness can sway even the most reluctant audience member — see it for yourself on Theatre 99’s stage.

Soak up the end of summer with outdoor music
By Chloe Hogan
As the summer comes to a close, enjoy the last of the late-evening light and warm temperatures at these outdoor concerts around town. For those looking for a more laid-back experience than a concert hall or music venue, we’ve got you covered.
City Lights Eastside
City Lights Eastside offers a fun weekly music series that rotates between emerging talent and established artists, like Chris Boone, who is scheduled to perform on Oct. 24.
City Lights is a downtown café, coffee shop and wine bar that now hosts live music on its patio from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. each Thursday night. The eatery, open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday is a new go-to neighborhood spot. It’s open 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
“I like to switch it up and have up-andcomers one week and established artists the next week,” owner Candace Patterson said. “I grew up with coffee shops of the ’90s, so it is my mission to make sure that we are a true community café.
“We’re only four months old. But I want (City Lights) to be a space where people come and they can feel like they can create. We’ll eventually expand to slam poetry and more creative events. … The future is bright for these things.”
Patterson said she sources the musical lineup from making open calls on neighborhood group pages and hanging up posters.
“We get people from Wagener Terrace and we get people from the East Side neighborhood,” she said. “We get a lot of drag-alongs from the artists and their friends, and it ends up just being like a really vibrant, fun time.
The patio fills up, but people drop in and drop out. It’s a casual, relaxed vibe.”
You can order wine, beer, cocktails, casual food and build-your-own charcuterie platters during the live music Thursdays — plus, catch rotating local art on the walls. Stay up to date with City Lights on Instagram and catch weekly music announcements at @citylightseastside.

A sax player for more than 15 years, Cosmo has performed at many weddings, restaurants and events around the Charleston area. He’s most known as the player that’s lit up King Street with his music outside of Sewing Down South since the summer of 2022.
“Charleston has always been a home for me,” Burton said. “After the pandemic, I felt the need to spread a little bit of joy on a musical level. I started street performing on King Street where I improved on a variety of genres including jazz, R&B, pop and motown.”
