n the 23 years I’ve lived and worked in Charleston, one of saddest realities I’ve heard over and over are children who live here but have never been to the beach. Never been to the beach?! One is within 20 miles of nearly anywhere a kid lives in this town. Not only should children have a chance to play in the sand, frolic in the gentle surf and smell the salt air at least once, but they should be making fairly regular visits to truly the greatest parks we have to offer. Also having mulled over the obesity epidemic for both professional and personal reasons, I’ve come to believe that a component of it is our disconnection with nature and being outdoors — for both kids and adults. Consistently, I’ve equated the indoors with inactivity (and overeating) and outdoors with activity. Studies back it up (see www.whitehutchinson. com for a rundown), and much of it is summed up in a new book, “The Nature Principal: Human Restoration and the End of Nature-Deficit Disorder” by

Yes, “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” is in 3-D (it’s the only installment in the series to be presented that way) and as usual, that was unnecessary. The technical elements all looked flawless and immersive in the previous film. (Warner Bros. wisely chose not to rush the conversion from 2-D on “Deathly Hallows: Part 1,” and instead took more time for the process here.) But the addition of a third dimension does allow some details to pop, and it’s never a distraction. Although the “Potter” films have always been about the escape of the spectacle, the kids and their struggle to navigate both good and evil provides some much-needed rooting

in reality. Radcliffe has never been better, and brief flashbacks to the earliest images of him in the role only serve as a reminder of how far he’s come. The character has long since been cemented into his identity, but more is required of him physically and emotionally than ever before, and he’s more than up for it all. “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” drops us into a menacing version of this world we’ve come to know, immediately and without explanation; it’s a bit disorienting at first, even if you’ve seen all that’s come before it. Then again, if you’re bothering to check out the finale, in theory you should know what’s going on. Harry, Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma

Watson) are still hunting Horcruxes, scattered containers that hold pieces of Voldemort’s soul, which are crucial to Harry’s survival, in order to destroy them. One of them is being stored in Bellatrix Lestrange’s bank vault, which allows Helena Bonham Carter to have a bit of fun with her wicked character. Hogwarts is no longer a place of refuge as Voldemort draws ever closer; his attack on the stately school is thrilling, but it also provides moments of heroism for some characters you might not expect. Still, this is the place where all the narrative and emotional threads must converge and tie up at last. While “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” offers long-promised answers, it also dares

mariniere ($9) arrived at the table full of plump shellfish, but their broth of white wine, garlic, shallots and herb butter could have benefitted from more time on the heat to marry the flavors and anoint the crustaceans with taste. A starter of tomato soup ($5) was served, and faster than you could say “Wadmalaw,” the chicken entree was pecking at the appetizer. A plate was prepped with potato puree, collards and portobello Marsala gravy, and while they chilled and the “gravy” congealed, a nicely flavored meatloaf slice was placed on the grill as the vegetables turned cold awaiting the entree. A similar fate befell a boneless halfchicken (actually a boneless, flattened chicken breast). The plate was prepped with vegetables and waited on the

line for the poultry. All easy to fix but frustrating for the diner. Desserts will change daily. A blackberry mousse ($7) seemed right for the season, and its presentation was clever: a peach bottom, topped with gelatin-enhanced mousse and a garnish of coconut shavings. The other options of lava cake, creme brulee and chocolate mousse cake spoke to another season. There is no denying the sylvan setting for Leaf Cafe + Bar. I am betting this sapling of a restaurant will branch out with precision in its cooking, an improved sense of staffing and a refinement of its food pairings. Add some culinary roots and this specimen will thrive in the garden of restaurants that call Charleston home.

Pork belly sandwich from the ’Wich Doctor.

The ’Wich Doctor casts a very satisfying spell BY ROB YOUNG

Special to The Post and Courier

ne can only marvel at the curative powers possessed by the ’Wich Doctor. The antidote for your appetite? Definitely. Just feast your eyes on the restaurant’s sizable sammies, piled high on toast and brimming with any number of exceptional ingredients: pork belly, lemongrass beef, Korean barbecue and housesmoked pastrami. Housed at the cozy address on Folly Beach formerly occupied by Lil’ Mama’s and Kirby’s Cafe, the ’Wich Doctor opened shop in March. The beach clientele often can be swayed by the Center Street offerings, but here’s hoping they make their way to the ’Wich Doctor instead. They won’t be let down.

Futurebirds’ album, “Hampton’s Lullaby,” can be ordered through www.futurebirdsmusic.com. BY MATTHEW GODBEY

Special to The Post and Courier

Futurebirds Tonight at The Pour House Athens-based Americana sextet Futurebirds has never prided itself on being a techsavvy band with a sleek, innovative sound that would change the way you thought about music. Instead, Futurebirds sounds more like the old tried-and-true music of the South carrying on to a new generation. As its name suggests, it takes the oldest, most natural form to transport itself into the future. The band has a gritty and loud guitar-driven sound as well as equally gritty vocals. The sound is psychedelic country, perfect in a roadhouse bar. Futurebirds will perform tonight at The Pour House, 1977 Maybank Highway,

with Old You and Eddie the Wheel. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door or online at www.etix. com. Doors open at 9 p.m. Call 571-4343 or visit www. charlestonpourhouse.com for more information.

Gaslight Street Saturday at The Pour House Led by former Live Oak front man Campbell Brown, local quartet Gaslight Street pulls from influences ranging from soul and blues to classic rock and folk to form an all-encompassing sound that represents decades of Southern music from a variety of different origins. Gaslight Street offers a soundtrack to life in the Lowcountry that seems to reflect the influences of Charleston’s long history. The band recently celebrated the release of its latest album, “Idle Speed,” in February. Gaslight Street will per-

form Saturday at The Pour House, 1977 Maybank Highway, with Actual Proof and Gangrene Machine. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 the day of the show and are available at the door or online at www.etix.com. Doors open at 8 p.m., show starts at 8:45 p.m. Call 5714343 or visit www.charlestonpourhouse.com for more information.

Sunny Ledfurd Saturday at The Windjammer Sunny Ledfurd is a man of persistence. When every label he contacted throughout the early part of the 2000s turned him down, he created his own label. When he had trouble finding a good studio close to his home, he built his own. When the suits told him to tone down his lyrical content, he made it more graphic. From the beginning, the North Carolina-based sing-

JASON THRASHER

er and songwriter was set on being completely honest with himself as well as his audience. “I wasn’t going to be a monkey on a string singing songs about falling in love, broken hearts and drinkin’ a six pack. I was chasing girls and getting hammered,” says Ledfurd on his Myspace page. Musically, Ledfurd’s style is a broad collection that has influenced the songwriter over the years and includes country, hard rock and hiphop. Ledfurd says that his songs are “about 90 percent autobiographical” and focus on the underbelly of Southern living and culture. He will perform Saturday at The Windjammer, 1007 Ocean Blvd., Isle of Palms, with Luke Kaufman. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 the day of the show and can be purchased at the door or online at www.the-windjammer.com. Call 886-8596 for information.

harleston is slowly, but surely, taking its rightful place as one of America’s great jazz towns. All the markers are emerging. There is a steadily growing number of fine, young musicians. There is some form of instruction at area schools — middle, high and university. There are more and more opportunities to consume jazz, of all the myriad styles. There’s an expanding constituency of savvy listeners who are buying tickets and going to venues in droves. There’s a buzz about the Charleston jazz scene in musician communities in other jazz strongholds such as Atlanta, New Orleans, Savannah, Columbia, Chicago, Charlotte and New York. Then there’s support infrastructure that doesn’t exist, as far as I know, in many other places in the country. There’s an eight-year-old research project, the Charleston Jazz Initiative, based at the College of Charleston that explores the history and legacy of the art form in South Carolina. Jazz Artists of Charleston, a three-yearold presenting group, puts on shows of all kinds yearround. I know from whence I speak. As I wrote here before, I’m a principal in both nonprofit groups. That positions me to not so much blow my own horn, if you will, or promote the organizations, but being involved gives me an inside look that I can share with you.

Seats are rarely empty for jazz performances at the Charleston Music Hall. Another sign of the times is the number of soundtracks in public buildings that use jazz. My current favorite is Monza, a pizza joint on King Street. The Meeting Street Piggly Wiggly, which I wrote about a couple of years ago, is still going strong, too. We don’t have a jazz club right now, but from time to time, the Music Farm and the Pour House bring in top-notch stuff. Restaurants, pubs and lounges are full of live jazz. The fastest rising star on the local landscape is the Charleston Jazz Orchestra, a 20-piece aggregation that comprises all local players. The home for its six-show season is a beautiful building that sits in the middle of John Street between King and Meeting streets, right in the heart of one of the most historic districts in the United States. Over the course of the 3½ years that CJO has been

holding forth there, the magnificent room has come to be known to jazz fans as the House of Swing. And swing it does. The 1,000-seat palace has near perfect acoustics and pristine sight lines. You can see clearly from any seat in the house. You can hear the faintest, high-pitched note from a singer or the rumble of a big band with no distortion. The Charleston Music Hall is a concert hall par excellence. And a concert hall like it is a prerequisite for a city to call itself a jazz town. Jazz is art and it’s entertainment. So it’s just as important that it be presented in a concert format as it is to be offered in clubs and restaurants. CJO has sold out its firsts three concerts this year, with the last two being sold out before the day of the show. The second half of the season seems poised to continue the trend.

ALICE KEENEY/JAZZ ARTISTS OF CHARLESTON

The structure has a very interesting history. It’s official history reads: “37 John Street was originally named The Tower Depot, designed by Charleston architect Edward C. Jones and built between 1849 and 1850. The Gothic Revival style building originally had a threestory tower, which projected into John Street and served as the main entrance for a passenger depot for the South Carolina Railroad. Sadly, the original tower was destroyed in the earthquake of 1886 and subsequently, The Tower Depot became part of the Charleston Bagging & Manufacturing Company plant and was used as a warehouse for many years. Finally, the Bennett Hofford Company facilitated its amazing transformation into the Charleston Music Hall in 1995.” Mike Bennett, Hank Hofford and Daren Wolfe, manager, have one of the most unusual concert halls in the

country, and they’ve graciously allowed the famed landmark to anchor the Lowcountry’s jazz scene. The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, led by Wynton Marsalis, has performed there. So have Taj Mahal, Chris Botti, Fred Wesley, Herbie Hancock and other jazz luminaries. For us here in Charleston, the music hall is as important as Aeolian Hall in New York City was in 1924 when the Paul Whiteman Orchestra gave the first jazz performance in a concert hall. CJO is doing at our House of Swing what the Benny Goodman Orchestra did in 1938 and what Duke Ellington’s Orchestra did in 1943, both at Carnegie Hall. Making jazz history.

Hosting the event is the Village Tavern, and all proceeds will go to the Callen-Lacey Center for Children, an emergency center serving children and families in Berkeley County.

crisis” was considered a top priority, so the Berkeley County Department of Social Services and Trident United Way asked Carolina Youth Development Center to establish a center to serve the children of Berkeley

County. The Moncks Corner shelter seeks to provide “a secure, protective and nurturing environment for abused, abandoned and neglected children.” The center is open 24 hours a day and accepts children up to age 17. Over the years, the Callen-Lacey Center has offered a safe place and home for more than 800 children in the same spirit as Dr. William H. Lacey and Maude E. Callen. Due to the guidance and care they provided the community for more than 50 years, the center is dedicated in their memory and continues to offer support through the center’s advisory council

consisting of volunteers focused on community outreach projects. Boone planned the benefit concert to raise awareness about the center. This is the sixth benefit Boone has organized, and he chose the center based on his family’s recommendation. “This benefit came to me

on Easter Day, when I was hanging out with my family on Folly Beach,” explained Boone. “I wanted this event to be for an organization that isn’t known as much in Charleston, to help them grow and to make them feel welcomed in our amazing town.” His mother suggested the

Callen-Lacey Center because she was familiar with the organization through her work in the school district. “My mother informed me about how a lot of children at her school came from this house and how it would be a new and a great opportunity to help another group of people,” Boone said.

Though still young, Indy said she has no intention of slowing down and has set her sights on eventually performing in Atlanta and New York. “My voice has changed, it’s gotten better and more mature, but I haven’t changed as a person,” Indy said. “The music is getting wiser and bigger.”

Elvis Costello Long live the king

JAMES Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;MARA

Elvis Costello has been making music since the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s and is considered to be a rock legend. See him Monday in North Charleston.

Special to The Post and Courier

Not very often in life does someone find himself in the presence of royalty. Elvis Costello is deserving of such ranking. He has been nominated for 13 Grammys, winning once and received an Oscar nomination in 2003 for best original song. Also in 2003, Elvis Costello & the Attractions were inducted

into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There are scant few musicians who can be considered legends. The main criteria are impact, influence, productivity and time. Scouring the annals of rock history, one might find many artists who managed to meet two or three of these measures.

It is a short list of names who possess all four.

History

a special set of skills. While he poignantly captured the prevailing angst of his era, he also displayed a literacy that is uncommon in popular music. He did not repeat verses unnecessarily. He did not rhyme without reason. His lyrics told stories, sometimes biting, sometimes humorous, always coherent. With an elastic and evocative voice and some of the tightest backing bands around, Costello was a sensation in the late ’70s and throughout the ’80s, when every release seemed to set the bar higher for a standard pop song. Although he traveled mostly on the second rung of fame, he did manage to score two No. 1 U.S. singles, “Veronica,” written with Paul McCartney, and “The Other Side of Summer” in 1988 and 1989. His distinct style, clean production and somewhat bass-heavy music, was a staple of alternative and college rock radio.

Fun facts about hip-hop legends BY KEVIN YOUNG

Special to The Post and Courier

Success

As times changed, so did Costello’s music. He was able to make the leap forward that many of his contemporaries were unable to bridge. As if always compelled to travel elsewhere, he recorded a cover album of country songs in 1981. His stunning album, “King of America,” may be the first and best example of original music by a British singer playing Americana and created a template that Wilco, Ryan Adams and scores of others are familiar with. As a solo artist and with the Attractions, Costello dabbled in mod rhythm & blues, high-gloss ’80s production, angry political folk and Beatles pastiche. He even recorded an album where he was backed by a string quartet. Costello has had some of his greatest success teaming up with respected musicians in genres outside the contemporary pop landscape. His work with the Brodsky

Busta Rhymes

ELVIS COSTELLO PHOTOGRAPHS BY JAMES O’MARA

Quartet, Burt Bacharach and, more recently, Allen Toussaint showcase a talent adept wherever it may land. He also has done piano jazz, orchestrations and the oneoff hip-hop creation “The Bridge I Burned,” wherein he samples the Prince song “Pop Life.” It is this variety that has maintained his relevance for so long. Coupled with his output — a staggering 32 studio albums and counting — it becomes clear that Costello carries much more gravitas than is easily recognized. Few artists release more than one album every two or three years.

On top of his game

Many acts will combine a few years of fame with a lifetime of regurgitation, but Costello continues to be pro-

ductive long into the twilight of a lesser artist’s career. He easily could tour on a greatest hits revue, and recent set lists do have him dabbling in his many genres and biggest songs. There is also a purpose to this tour. He is coming to town in support of a new album, “National Ransom.” This highly rated release is an example of what the man is and was. Half of the album contains rocking numbers very much in the Attractions style. The other is a collection of jazz, blues and English music hall all told with Costello’s unique narrative. In fact, it is in these numbers where he shows his brilliance for observation and introspection. While new in composition, they echo a time long since past,

as if he could take center stage in a ’20s New Orleans speakeasy and not one note would be out of place. It might be speculated that familiarity is the truest enemy of creativity. But Costello is always exploring new territory, taking himself out of his comfort zone. When he stretches, he soars. He has done so time and time again. Besides producing some of the most critically acclaimed albums of the past three decades, he also has done some acting, even appearing as himself in an episode of “The Simpsons.” Whether or not Costello is in fact king is open to debate. That he is rock-’n’-roll nobility is not in question. That he is coming to North Charleston should be reason to rejoice.

Remember the date: July 17. That’s the day the Galliard Auditorium will be visited by two of hip-hop’s best. That night, the selfproclaimed “dungeon dragon” Busta Rhymes and Outkast’s Big Boi will visit. For the hip-hop fan, it represents the rare moment that two certified legends with two very different styles will share the stage in Big Boi Charleston. While Busta is touring in support of his upcoming album, “Extinction Level Event 2,” a sequel to his 1998 classic, Big Boi is touring on the strength of last year’s successful “Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.” Rather than run down the history of these two legends, here are a few gems about them.

Leaders, it was his thunderous final verse in A Tribe Called Quest’s posse cut of “Scenario” that cemented his hardcore rhyme status.

Big Boi

◗ When “MTV Cribs” was at

its pinnacle, one of the show’s highlights was Big Boi’s tour of his Atlanta house. Aside from the usual tour of spacious rooms and other extravagant luxuries, it was the stripper pole in his “Boom Boom” room that caught most viewers’ attention. ◗ In May, Big Boi went into the studio to help Modest Mouse record its next album, a project he called “a hodgepodge of funkiness.” ◗ Aside from his role in the Outkast musical “Idlewild” and his guest appearance as a rap artist in “Law & Order: Special Victim’s Unit,” Big Boi recently appeared in Morgan Spurlock’s documentary “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.” In it, he weighed in on the blurring lines between corporate interests and art.

Feast for the senses

BY CAITLIN O’DONNELL

codonnell@postandcourier.com

atives and visitors alike will be treated to a feast for the eyes, and mouth, at the sixth annual Palette & Palate Stroll, hosted Friday by the Charleston Fine Art Dealers Association. From 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., participants will have the chance to visit 10 local galleries paired with food by local restaurants in an event meant to raise awareness and funds for local art. CFADA began in 1999 as a collaboration between artists and gallery owners to develop Charleston as a fine arts destination while also supporting local arts education programs. “It’s a two-fold issue, started initially as a way to pull energies and power together to have the rest of the world understand Charleston has been an arts destination for centuries,” said Lese Corrigan, owner of Corrigan Gallery. “It has developed into more of a fundraising venture while also bringing attention to art and the importance of arts education for its survival.” To date, they have donated $245,000 from the Palette & Palate Stroll and the yearly Fine Art Annual in the fall. “I think this is an event that marries two of Charleston’s best attributes, the culinary and the fine arts,” said Hume Killian, owner of the Wells Gallery and a founding member of CFADA. “Both have strong histories and are great reasons why many people come to Charleston.” Often, art and food connoisseurs tend to be one in the same, said Cindy Hayes, president of CFADA and co-owner of Horton Hayes

Fine Art. But for those particularly attracted to the food, the stroll serves as a way to introduce them, as well as other visitors, to the galleries available downtown. “People get exposure and some come back at a later date,” she said. “It’s about getting people aware of your gallery, what art you have and things they like. Down the road, they remember you.” The event showcases more than 100 professional artists displaying work at the event, but equally significant are the young artists in the community in need of support and funding. The majority of funds raised will benefit CFADA’s fine arts scholarship, which is split among the Gibbes Museum of Art, Redux and College of Charleston. The donations are given in the form of gift certificates for art supplies, Hayes said, at a time when the arts often are pushed aside as the wallet tightens. “Everyone in the arts community realizes that education is a major part of the puzzle,” Killian said. “If you don’t have young kids exposed, you won’t have another generation of creators. People who live here have a wide array of talent, and we’re trying to help that along.” Kathryn Hartle, director of sales and marketing for Blu at Tides Folly Beach, said the restaurant joined the stroll last year in an effort to better connect with the community. It again is paired with Ella Richardson Fine Art and anticipates an increase in customers following the event, similar to last year. Blu also has supported local events including March

grams for artists were cut?” Mickey Bakst, general manager of Charleston Grill, which is paired with Robert Lange Studioes for the event, said he enjoys being part of the community of artists in Charleston. “We believe in the marriage of all forms of art and we look at our food as art,” he said. “It’s essential that we support our artists. It adds culture to the town that we so desperately need and thrive on.” One local group that has seen firsthand the benefits of the event is the Gibbes Museum, which uses the funds raised for community arts and education programs targeting students of all ages. “We are deeply grateful to CFADA for organizing this yearly event that brings our artists and our community closer together,” said Angela Mack, executive director and chief curator at the Gibbes.

ACE’S ON BRIDGE

Nature-inspired art on display on Sullivan’s Island

By BOBBY WOLFF

Robert Lange Studios, photography exhibits and alliance’s OPEN event round out local highlights

eslie Pratt-Thomas and Beth McLean have been friends for a long time, almost the same amount of time that they’ve been artists. Over the years, they’ve traveled together and painted on location in many places, but they often just have to step outside to feel inspired by the stunning beauty that makes up our own breathtaking Lowcountry. Join these artists 5-7 p.m. Saturday at the Sandpiper Gallery on Sullivan’s Island for their two-person show called “Coastal Heritage: Our Bond With Nature.” The show will demonstrate how the friends work together and how each artist’s style changes the look and feel of similar Lowcountry scenery. Sandpiper Gallery is at 2019-C Middle St. on Sullivan’s Island and can be reached at 883-0200 or online at www.sandpiper gallery.net.

‘Moving Into Stillness’

“Photography teaches me to be open and receptive to the world around me and how to be an active participant in the present moment,” says photographer Jennifer Ervin. Ervin’s black-and-white photographs are on display at the Saul Alexander Gallery inside the Charleston County Public Library, 68 Calhoun St., and will be up through the end of July. “Moving Into Stillness” delves into an exploration of “still life with an emphasis on design, carefully selecting details to create a poetic language, transforming objects into sensory experiences.” View more of her work online at www.jenniferervin. com.

In time, it became apparent that she had a talent for finding just the right view and angle to portray Southern life: fishing villages, marshes, sweetgrass, boats, Gullah women, etc. View her work at The Real Estate Studio, 214 King St., through July 26.

At the Dyspeptics Club the player sitting West today is regarded as something of a loose cannon. You never know in which direction he is going to be shooting, and as East will tell you, quite often he has been the victim of “friendly fire.” However, in today’s deal it was South who took something of a mortal wound, and despite repeated and loaded questions, was never able to discover if he was the victim of malice or a lucky accident. Before I tell you precisely what happened, consider the play in three no-trump when West leads a fourth-highest club six. Declarer takes East’s jack with his king and infers from the spot led that West has four clubs ready to cash as soon as the defenders get on lead. The best chance for the contract will therefore be to run the spades with the aid of a finesse. (This line succeeds whenever West has the spade queen in a two- or three-card suit. Playing for that layout, South would emerge with nine tricks.) But compare what happened at the table when West kicked off with a deceptive club two. Now declarer believed clubs were breaking 4-3, so it was safe for him to knock out the diamond ace rather than rely on the spades. West won his diamond ace and impassively cashed out the clubs.

Ellen Berlin, fourth-generation clothier, says Charleston style is a whimsical mix of creative and traditional.

Digging even deeper in the Lowcountry fashion scene I n last week’s issue, I did the cover story on local fashion and where to shop. I was excited to highlight the independent shops, the places that carry hard-tofind labels so you won’t look like everyone else and where it’s often the owner helping you with sizes or ringing you up. Also, when you shop local, the money goes back into the community. All are worthwhile reasons to hit up these places. But I quickly ran into a problem while working on the cover story: I had limited space and so, sadly, couldn’t include every local store. With a little more digging and feedback, I came up with some more shops for

salon-type setting. Around since 1978, RTW was in the vanguard of revitalizing downtown Charleston and certainly has influenced local style. And even more shops downtown: Finicky Filly, 303 King St., owned by a mother and daughter; the legendary Bob Ellis, 332 readers to check out. King St., where you can Berlins, 114 King St., is a drop some serious dough venerable old shop that has on a pair of designer heels; anchored the corner of King Copper Penny, 317 King and Broad for more than a St., which has another locahundred years. They’ve been tion in Mount Pleasant; and around so long that genRachel Gordon’s One Love erations of the same family Shop, 478 King St. have probably been fitted for Also on the list of shops suits there. are Magar Hatworks, 57 There’s also RTW, 186 Cannon St., where you can King St., a very sophistibuy enchanting couturecated shop where you can quality hats; Las Olas Surf buy this season’s Lanvin in a Shop, 441 King St.; and

Continuum Skate Shop, 49 Spring St. And outside of downtown, Bashful Boutique, 829 Savannah Highway; the new Smolder in I’On, 152-B Civitas St.; Beba Luxe on James Island, 1962 Maybank Highway; and Mary Mojo in Mount Pleasant, 1405 Ben Sawyer Blvd. Then there was the whole vintage/thrift market, and, well, you get the idea. So many places, so little space. In working on the cover story, though, it was heartening to see how many independent shops there are around here. These are the kinds of places that will continue to make Charleston a popular shopping destination and a great town for major style.
