Leading the Way.

the ideal spot for seeing the big game. And speaking of games, they have added games to the back of the venue –from skeeball to pop-a-shot, pool tables and Golden Tee, with more games to come. The Tavern has added breakfast to their offerings and is hosting Big Show Trivia on Wednesdays with a $100 cash prize for the winners, as well as music bingo on Thursdays. The new owners hope to make the place a locals favorite and plan to offer discounts to all islanders who give them a try.

Grand openings

UnCorked Wine, Bar, Food and Music, 1533 Fording Island Road, Suite 296 in Moss Creek Village, 609-412-6508: It has been a long journey to get their new project to the start line, but the former and last owners of Corks in The Promenade are finally ready for their grand opening June 6. Bringing a regular diet of musical acts to Corks was always the core passion for Neil and Lorrie Ritter and that will be the focus at their new venue, cleverly named UnCorked. The stage will be filled with many of the regulars that became faves in Old Town along with Lowcountry stars and new local talent gracing the stage Tuesday through Saturday. There will be a music fee on Fridays and Saturdays (usually $10), largely to go toward band travel to the area and to help fund local school music programs. The kitchen will be open Tuesday through Thursday 4 to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 4 to 11:30 pm. The first month of acts is posted on their Facebook page, with Bill Gwynn’s 12-piece band, Tower of Funk & Choosy Mothers Horns, christening the new stage June 6 at 7 p.m.

Across the bridge, there is another opening the same week. Gemma, a new handmade accessory and jewelry store in Main Street Village opened June 5. We’ve mentioned this in coming attractions, but for more information, follow Main Street Village on Facebook or Instagram.

We’re always on the lookout for better. That’s why we’re the pioneers in ultra-comfortable, exceptionally accurate laser cataract surgery. We were the first in the region to offer the technology a decade ago and have engaged with industry leaders to further perfect the technique ever since. In fact, we facilitated FDA approval of the latest CATALYS laser software and were the first in the country to implement it. We continually look over the horizon for what’s next so you can see the horizon more clearly.

Let’s talk about your eyes.
