In February, the College of Charleston conducted a second round of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) scans at 106 Coming St., the site of a former burial ground where it wants to build a dormitory. Those tests were inconclusive for the presence of human remains, a college spokesman said.

CofC, citizens group disagree on use of site as new dorm

By Herb Frazier

A member of a local citizens group said it and the College of Charleston are at an “impasse” on where the college should build a proposed dormitory.

The relationship between the Community Engagement Council (CEC) and the college has “bogged down” over explaining to the college the importance of adhering to a federal policy on the desecration of burial sites, said CEC member Millicent Brown of Charleston.

The CEC and the college “have not fully argued the question ‘can you have a dormitory on top of a cemetery?’ ” stressed Brown, a retired history professor and member of the descendant community. The college has not been transparent with the Charleston community, she charged.

At issue

The college wants to build a dormitory at 106 Coming St., an address that was once part of an 18th century city-owned cemetery for poor and enslaved people and strangers. The college purchased the land knowing it was once a burial ground.

The CEC, however, wants the college to adhere to a federal policy pertaining to the disturbance of burial sites and consider alternative locations for the dorm.

Because of the tension, Charleston resident Julie Bowling stepped off the 20-member council because she felt it was

More than 50 unmarked graves uncovered at Citadel

Construction on the eastern side of The Citadel’s Johnson Hagood Stadium last month unearthed more than 50 unmarked gravesites containing human remains.

News broke this month that the military college plans to exhume and reinter the bodies on the south side of the stadium per a city ordinance established in 2004. The city built the stadium in 1927 atop Tower Hill Cemetery, where more than 26,000 people were estimated to have been buried since 1841.

“The idea of people tailgating on top of the bodies of enslaved people next to a stadium named for a Confederate general is appalling,” said volunteer researcher Julia Bowling, who lives in the Wagener Terrace neighborhood near The Citadel. “They never moved the bodies. They just erased them. And every few years, more are found.”

The graves were discovered during

“window dressing” for the college.

“It was clear the (college) had made up its mind they were not really going to get any discussion from us in regards to whether it was ethical or not to remove the bodies. I feel almost used.”

In a prepared statement that was exclusive to the Charleston City Paper, the college said it is following state law governing

Weird PETA campaign riffs on Gadsden

flag

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) recently unveiled a “striking” billboard it says honors South Carolina’s heritage just in time for Carolina Day. Others may think it’s just odd.

The billboard, a bright yellow backdrop with bold black text reading “DON’T TREAD ON ME” is a clear reference to the historic flag designed by Charleston patriot Christopher Gadsden in 1775 during the American Revolution. In PETA’s reimagining, three more words follow: “Please, wear vegan.”

The billboard shows an image of a cowboy boot with a snake coiled around it with messaging that pleads for people to ditch snakeskin boots and other fashion crafted from animal skins.

the installation of a new drainage system beneath a new set of stands. Workers were excavating the site to nearly 9 feet below sea level to install plastic chambers to hold excess water. The remains were found close to the surface, according to officials.

Operations stopped upon their discovery, according to a May 23 newsletter, only to resume about a week later.

“We understand the deep importance of historic remains to the Charleston community and with the city will engage with the broader community on this topic,” Jonathan Hoffman, The Citadel’s vice president of communications and marketing, said in a June 24 news release.

“We will continue to follow archaeological best practices and guidance provided by the State Historic Preservation Office and coordinate with various stakeholders throughout this project and future construction activities.” —Skyler Baldwin

S.C. companies lag on security as cybercrime losses soar

By Jack O’Toole

Two-thirds of South Carolina’s largest business enterprises leave their computer systems vulnerable to common email scams — a hole that’s helping to enable a cybercrime spree that the FBI says cost state residents $264 million last year, according to a new report.

Released June 8 by the Colorado-based cybersecurity firm Red Sift, the report found that only 35% of the 100 large S.C. ventures that it examined have fully implemented a security measure known as DMARC — an internet safeguard that prevents fraudulent emails bearing their company’s address from being delivered.

Put simply, DMARC helps ensure that any email you receive from, say, charlestoncitypaper.com, actually came from charlestoncitypaper.com — and not from a cybercriminal who faked the address.

In Red Sift’s data, Georgia and Tennessee were tied for first place in the Southeast for DMARC compliance at 45%, with Mississippi and S.C. bringing up the rear.

A Red Sift spokesperson declined to share the names of S.C. entities that haven’t fully adopted the DMARC standard, but offered a partial list including Boeing South Carolina, the S.C. Ports Authority and several major banks and universities.

“These days, most of the ways we work, bank and shop rely on trustworthy email,” Red Sift Vice President Brian Westnedge told the Charleston City Paper. “And when those trustworthy email communications break down, there are real consequences in terms of email phishing, fraud, ransomware and wire transfer attacks.”

What’s worse, Westnedge noted, those types of scams have only grown more sophisticated in the age of artificial intelligence.

“These aren’t the obvious Nigerian scams of yesteryear,” he said. “And because they’re now often crafted with AI, even a nonnative speaker can make something that looks very convincing.”

‘A constant threat’

The “real consequences” Westnedge alluded to were quantified in an April 2026 report from the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, which found that S.C. ranked 21st in the country for cybercrimes in 2025, with annual losses rising from $146 million to $264 million over the past year.

While the vast majority of those crimes receive little public notice, several high-profile cases have made headlines across the Palmetto State in recent months.

In March of this year, the town of Surfside Beach sent $545,000 to a cyberscammer posing as a contractor in an email scam. The S.C. Law Enforcement Division (SLED) is investigating.

In January 2026, Laurens County paid $1.6 million to cybercriminals in an emailbased fake invoice scam. The county has filed a lawsuit in an attempt to gather information to identify the fraudsters.

In separate October 2025 incidents, Jasper County and York County officials warned residents of email phishing scams involving fake county bills and fees.

And in January 2025, a federal grand jury in Columbia indicted 12 people in a $25 million business email compromise scheme that authorities said targeted both companies and individuals.

“Cybercrime isn’t just a growing threat — it’s a constant one,” said Kevin Moore, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Columbia Field Office, in a release. “As the FBI works tirelessly to dismantle these criminal networks, we call on the public to do their part by adopting strenuous cyber hygiene practices and remaining vigilant in every online transaction.”

While law enforcement officials haven’t publicly connected those incidents to any one company’s email security settings, experts say they show how quickly email scams can turn into major public losses — and why basic security protections matter.

What businesses and individuals can do

For businesses and other enterprises, fully implementing DMARC is a three-step process that moves from gathering data on fraudulent emails, to quarantining suspicious messages, and finally, to telling recipients to automatically reject emails that can’t be authenticated as coming from their systems.

According to Red Sift, the good news for S.C. is that most of its largest organizations have at least started the process, with only 11% having not at least taken the first step.

Lou Vega, a Charleston-based senior security engineer with VDA Labs, explained why companies are often cautious about taking the final step.

“Protection is obviously critically important, but blindly implementing the DMARC standard could lead to legitimate email being rejected,” Vega said. “That’s the concern.”

As for the rest of us, Vega’s advice boils down to two simple security habits anyone can practice: patience and common sense.

In short, don’t rush to click the link in an urgent-sounding email from what appears to be a company with which you do business. Instead, go to the official company website or call a verified phone number to check if the message is real. And never forget that if it sounds too good, or too complicated, to be true, it almost certainly is.

“Just slow down, take a moment, and think about the email that’s demanding your attention,” Vega said. “And when you see them trying to explain all sorts of complicated steps involving money orders and things,

run away.”

Lacore, Honeycutt to meet in 1st District election

Wilson wins big in statewide gubernatorial runoff

By Andy Brack

Lowcountry voters on Tuesday nominated Democratic candidate Nancy Lacore and the GOP’s Jenny Honeycutt in runoff elections to square off in the 1st Congressional District race to succeed U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican who lost a bid for governor earlier this month.

Meanwhile in a testy, high-profile statewide Republican gubernatorial runoff, S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson shellacked Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette by a 38-point margin. He’ll face Democratic nominee Jermaine Johnson, a member of the S.C. House of Representatives from Richland County, in November.

In the congressional runoffs here, Lacore, a retired vice admiral who lives in Mount Pleasant, topped lawyer Mac Deford by a 52% to 48% margin. The low-turnout contest brought 24,545 Democratic voters to the runoff polls.

In a Republican runoff that attracted almost two times as many voters, Honeycutt, a lawyer and Charleston County Council member, polled 54% of the votes against Daniel Island funeral home owner and S.C. Rep. Mark Smith.

vation in place was determined not to be feasible within the context of the approved residence hall project,” the statement said.

The college said the proposed dorm would affect about one third of “the burial ground, an area that has experienced extensive development over the past two centuries. The remaining two-thirds of the historic burial ground area is currently occupied by private buildings and asphalt parking lots.

“Prior to acquiring the property, the (college) determined that this location represented the most feasible site for muchneeded student housing due to its proximity to campus, available open space and the city’s pre-approved zoning for high-density student housing,” according to the statement. The college created the CEC last fall “to advise on commemoration, memorialization and the respectful recovery and reinterment of any remains that may be encountered (and) not to determine whether the approved project should proceed,” according to the statement. “As a result, the (college) disagrees with characterizations suggesting that there is an impasse.

“Consultation and planning efforts remain focused on ensuring that the history of the site is appropriately honored and interpreted while advancing an important

On Wednesday, Lacore thanked family, friends and others — as well as Deford, who she said ran an incredible race.

“As we shift focus to November, I look forward to bringing more people into our movement. That means I’ll be out meeting you, listening to you and working to earn your trust” through a coalition built on integrity, service and results.

Honeycutt emphasized her Lowcountry roots in a brief statement after she won: “We need a lowcountry leader who will win for you. … I will always put the Lowcountry first.”

Expected to challenge Lacore and Honeycutt in the November general election are three third-party candidates — Margo Ellis of the Alliance Party, Libertarian Bill Reeside and independent write-in candidate Clayton Cuteri, according to Ballotpedia.

Throughout reporting of results Tuesday night, Wilson had a commanding lead over Evette, a Greenville businesswoman from Ohio who has served as term-limited incumbent Henry McMaster’s second since 2019. By the time all was said and done, Wilson more than doubled the votes cast for Evette. He tallied 218,321 votes to her 100,123 votes in a race where turnout was just over 10%, according to unofficial results.

institutional need,” the statement said.

The college “recognizes that some members of the community and some members of the (CEC) oppose any new construction on this site and believe that the land should remain undisturbed,” according to the statement. The college said it remains committed to ongoing dialogue.

St. Philip, Vanderhorst and Calhoun streets border the site. The property is the former headquarters for the YWCA of Greater Charleston.

Brown said the college has not fully and accurately documented the site’s history. “They have misinterpreted the importance of the YWCA by calling it a historic civil rights site,” she explained.

Cost-benefit analysis

The college said it presented a comprehensive research and analysis of alternate sites at the CEC meeting in January. But Brown said hte presentation was not comprehensive.

The four-page analysis concludes that 106 Coming St. is the only site that meets “the minimum density (of beds) required” to make the dorm financially feasible.

The college also studied nine other locations, including its Lightsey Annex residence hall and the Wentworth Street Parking Garage.

The per bed cost at the Lightsey Street annex, which is not used for student

“Are we having fun tonight?” Wilson asked an enthusiastic Columbia crowd after his win before making a long list of thank-yous.

“Over the coming days and coming weeks, we’re going to unify,” Wilson said after mentioning several Republican candidates who he beat through the political season. “We need to unify. We can’t focus on what divides us; we have to focus on what unites us. That’s what’s important to South Carolina.”

During the two-week runoff period, Wilson saw his political star rise when he received a rare co-endorsement on Friday from President Donald Trump, who endorsed only Evette in the June 9 primary.

Observers say Evette’s fortunes started to fall after she criticized students at S.C. State University last month for opposing her as the graduation speaker. She called them a “woke mob” and eventually said some funding should be taken away from the school.

Other Republican runoff winners on Tuesday were 8th Circuit Solicitor David Stumbo of the Greenwood area, who beat Georgetown state Sen. Stephen Goldfinch by a 56% to 44% margin to become the GOP nominee for attorney general. Also, Cody Simpson outpolled Danny Ford II by a 26-point margin to win the party nomination for commissioner of agriculture.

housing, is too high, and the site would not provide enough beds, the report said. The parking garage was ruled out because the college does not own it.

The college acknowledged that to place a dorm at 106 Coming St., it would need to obtain city and state approvals, schedule public comment and undergo institutional oversight. The report also mentioned the removal and reinterment of human remains, but it does not estimate how much that would cost. A CEC member said without those cost estimates, the report lacks meaning.

Human remains, CEC members stressed, are not limited to bones and human tissue. Human remains also include soil stained from decomposed human tissue.

Between 4,600 and 12,000 individuals may be in the burial grounds, according to a report prepared for the college. The deceased include poor Whites, Africans newly arrived on slave ships, travelers and orphaned children. The site may also hold the remains of Native Americans.

The college acknowledged in its costbenefit report that a dorm at 106 Coming St. could “trigger” the rules under a 1990 federal law that details how to return the remains of Native American people to their ancestors.

Brian Harris, chief of the Catawba Nation in South Carolina, told the City Paper the college “needs to cease and desist. They need to put boundaries around that cemetery and put a memorial up.”

Blotter of the Week

Two West Ashley women on June 11 entered an Old Towne Road dollar store and separated inside. The first woman reportedly stole a mop and bucket from the laundry aisle, while the second sneaked into the back area of the store and urinated on the floor. The two then left the store with the mop without paying. This apparently was not a mess that they wanted to clean up. The investigation is ongoing.

Awww, man!

North Charleston police on June 13 arrested a man for disorderly conduct after escorting him out of a Noisette Boulevard club. The man reportedly swung at officers and demanded that he wanted his “flip flops.” Police told him one of his flip flops was still on his feet as he was arrested, which, a report noted, only made him more belligerent. The missing flip flop was never recovered.

Chickening out

Mount Pleasant police on June 12 received a phone call from a person who they later discovered to be a 12-year-old girl. She reportedly was upset that her father, due to health concerns, wouldn’t let her eat the chicken that she hid under her bed. She told police that her mom, who is divorced from her father, encouraged her to call the police while she was with her dad. What a happy Father’s Day!

When doing things right doesn’t work

tate and local leaders need to take a long, hard look at a new economic report from Trident United Way and come up with ways to help struggling families, instead of generally ignoring their needs like they’ve done for generations.

According to the newly-released study, more than one-third of households in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties are struggling to pay for basics. This strife involves some 35,822 households that live in poverty. It’s also rampant among the 93,767 households where breadwinners work, but just don’t have enough money to meet their needs.

This larger group is defined as “asset-limited, incomeconstrained and employed,” also known as “ALICE” households. Family members in these households may have more than one job but still often struggle to pay for housing, child care, food, transportation and health care.

In the Tri-county area, a family of four that earns less than $91,000 a year is considered to be an ALICE household where basics are a struggle. When you add debt, emergency expenses and anything beyond everyday expenditures, the struggle is starker.

Put frankly, the 7% of area residents in poverty plus the 30% of area ALICE households live in a world of financial instability where leaders too often blather on about affordability when they want to be reelected. But once in power, they seem to do little to address the real needs of working families. Many seem obsessed, rather, with lowering taxes of the wealthiest of South Carolinians.

TUW President and CEO D.J. Hampton has succinctly observed, “These are not abstract numbers. These families in our community who are working hard, raising children, caring for loved ones and keeping our region moving, yet still [are] one expense away from crisis. Far too many families are doing everything right and still cannot get ahead.”

Trident United Way has a lofty goal of working to uplift area families by bringing 15,000 out of poverty through coaching them financially on setting goals, increasing income, decreasing debt, building credit and finding resources that can help. That’s good, but more needs to be done by local and state governments to set policies that focus on the bottom half of residents who power the state’s success. Five examples:

Better pay. South Carolina doesn’t have a minimum wage. State lawmakers should set a living minimum wage to lift incomes, which will also boost business.

Housing. Local governments should focus even more than they are to get more affordable housing built that allows residents to partner and own their homes.

Health care. Expand Medicaid to add 400,000 people to the state’s insurance rolls, which will dramatically improve health outcomes — and help to keep struggling hospitals open.

Food. Reduce food deserts, particularly in rural areas, and connect people with healthier lifestyles. Make it a big outreach effort that blasts traditional and social media.

Education. Make improvements that focus more on positive outcomes. Teacher pay has been rising dramatically thanks to state efforts. But now it’s time to benefit from what we’re paying for so that students can be more ready for better work.

What’s ahead for South Carolina isn’t easy, but it’s time for state and local leaders to get down to work to make real differences for people who struggle. Continuing the same old mess isn’t going to make South Carolina a better place for everyone.

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.

ACCIDENT AND INJURY CASES

The 2028 election can’t come soon enough

By Andy Brack

The Trump Administration continues to be an embarrassment for lovers of liberty.

It seems to screw up just about everything it touches or so corrodes what America’s democracy has stood for that it has made our nation a laughing stock again and again.

The world breathed a sigh of relief in 2021 when Joe Biden and the adults took office to lead the United States. But in 2025 with the return of a grumpy, petulant, conspiracy-fueled Donald Trump to the White House, it’s gotten way, way worse. You may not have liked Biden — and he had some failures — but he turned the tide on Covid to help the country recover, invested in America to strengthen neglected infrastructure, showed world leadership on Ukraine. His economic policies improved the economy and generated more than 2 million jobs.

Trump and his lackeys, on the other hand, used a no-bid contract to a big supporter for renovations of the National Mall’s reflecting pool to make it blue, only to have it turn green again within weeks thanks to algal blooms.

They denigrated the White House grounds by removing a symbolic rose garden. They tore down a wing for an ill-conceived, unnecessary ballroom where costs are escalating. And, of all things, they littered the lawn into a tacky spectacle for a mixed martial arts humiliation.

They knocked up Trump’s name and image all over the place, from the Kennedy Center (removed by a judge) to National Park passes to passports. There are even Soviet-style banners of his face on some federal buildings in Washington. And don’t forget his planned huge and garish arched monument that would be in full view of the stately Lincoln Memorial.

Here in South Carolina, future impacts of the administration’s intentional neglect will be telling.

Since being sworn in for the second time, the national embarrassments created by this unhealthy, sleepy president have expanded from surface branding to deeper intrusions into what has made our country special.

Trump got America into a war with Iran that he supposedly ended this month by backtracking to where we were before the war. The country spent gazillions, bombed and killed innocent people and interrupted global commerce — only to return to the status quo. This agreement embarrassingly signed in Versailles to reopen the Strait of Hormuz got us what new that we didn’t have before? Experienced, strategic foreign policy at work? Nah, just the modern version of the Keystone Cops.

The list of disgraces goes on. Now the administration apparently is planning to sell or give away 11 immigration warehouses worth $700 million that it once said it just had to have. Officials are still quietly working to snare Greenland. Trump blustered to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. And he tried to create a $1.8 billion fund to pay the convicted felons who attacked the U.S. Capital while ignoring the police officers killed in the melee.

Also on this Executive Branch’s misadministration list: It threw ethical standards out of the door by accepting a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar that many call a bribe. It sold pardons. It continually talks about rigged elections (not true) to confuse voters and create distrust in a process for Americans to exercise a key and fundamental democratic right.

Here in South Carolina, future impacts of the administration’s intentional neglect will be telling. What happens, for example, if a hurricane devastates the state? One thing is for sure — the Federal Emergency Management Agency won’t come running to fix things like it used to because Trump has gutted it, just like it impaired the National Weather Service’s resources to do its job.

Across the country as Americans prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of declaring our shores to be independent of tyranny, we’ve got a childish despot in office who is wrecking what we’ve stood for in a bipartisan manner for generations.

The 2028 presidential election can’t come soon enough. Maybe the adults will return.

While the ever-popular Marion Square and Waterfront Park get a lot of attention already, there are several hidden gents tucked away in downtown neighborhoods, beside sea island bridges and more.

With the official first day of summer marked off on our calendars, the Charleston City Paper is spotlighting the multitude of parks, gardens and green spaces and showing a little extra love to those less frequented by summer crowds.

“Summer is a beautiful time to explore Charleston’s green spaces, particularly in the morning or early evening,” said Sarah Reynolds, spokeswoman for the Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission. “We are so fortunate that many of our local parks border waterways, so you can enjoy breezes off the water, scenery along marsh boardwalks and activities such as fishing or kayaking.

“Plus, the parks are typically in full color this time of year, often with bright blue water and vivid green grass,” she added. “Summer can be a great time to spot local wildlife, such as seabirds, wading birds and even dolphins or alligators.”

This list is not exhaustive, and there are several other parks around the Holy City and beyond worth a visit. You can find more online at these websites: charlestonparksconservancy.org, ccprc. com and southcarolinaparks.com.

Corrine Jones Park

36 Marlow Drive, Downtown | Sunrise to sunset | Free

Formerly known as Hester Park, Corrine Jones Park is a neighborhood park in the heart of the Wagener Terrace neighborhood. Nestled along Hester Street, which runs north to south through the neighborhood, the park features picnic tables, benches, courts for basketball, tennis and pickleball and a soccer field. A large playground, added in 2011, was renovated in 2026. The Charleston Parks Conservancy also maintains a community garden, pollinator garden and other flora around the playground. The park hosts free music and events every spring and fall.

Theodora Park

86 Anson St., Downtown | 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. | Free

Theodora Park, commissioned by local philanthropist and public relations guru David Rawle and dedicated to his late mother, rests just behind the Gaillard Center in downtown Charleston. To those who have stumbled across the small green space, it has become a favorite place to stop and rest, read a book, have a quiet lunch and watch passersby. Every detail of the park benefited from Rawle’s design and support. Before its 2015 dedication, the space spent years as a fenced-in, neglected public space covered with dense magnolia trees. Rawle saw the space as an opportunity and hoped to transform it into a small urban oasis inspired by New York City pocket parks.

Melton Peter Demetre Park

640 Wampler Drive, James Island

6 a.m. to 8 p.m. | Free

A trolley bridge replaced the footbridge in 1898, and it was later replaced again by a vehicle bridge in 1927. The land bridge now offers green grass beneath palmetto trees, panoramic views of the harbor and a premier fishing spot perfect for blue crabs, flounder, bass and more.

Sandy beaches, blue water help beat summer heat

While spring is already in the rear-view mirror and summer temperatures and tourist numbers are steadily climbing, there’s still never a bad time to hit the beach. Brave the heat, fight the crowds and secure your spot — we can point you in the right direction.

Isle of Palms

The Isle of Palms, known to locals as IOP, is home to a long stretch of public beach as well as a popular resort and golf course. The “isle” proper is nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway — a 3,000-mile inland waterway that runs from Massachusetts to the southern tip of Florida before following the Gulf Coast to Texas — and the Atlantic Ocean. Book a “staycation” at the sea island’s resorts or take a relaxing day trip in the island town. IOP has everything you could need for a perfect summer break.

Sullivan’s Island

Sullivan’s Island, a two-and-a-half-mile long barrier island across a bridge from IOP, was settled in the 17th century by Captain Florence O’Sullivan while he was stationed as a lookout. The beach town has a strong military background and is the site of the first patriot naval victory during the Revolutionary War. History buffs will love the sights and stories waiting around every corner, while shoppers can find locally made goods by Charleston artisans from several boutiques and stores around the island.

Folly Beach

Lovingly referred to as “the edge of America,” Folly Beach is a 12-squaremile barrier island located just 11 miles from downtown Charleston. Six miles of beaches are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Folly River, and outdoor recreation is a big draw for folks visiting the town. Head to the Washout for local surfing, including surf lessons offered by Isla Surf School, or stop to grab all of your beach supply needs from Bert’s Market on East Ashley Avenue. This small beach town is perfectly compact and easily explored on foot with the sounds of ocean waves still audible in the near distance.

And you thought you knew how to cook corn

By Becky Lacey

Alert: This is, ahem, a corny story — in the best possible way.

According to a 2024 Food and Wine article, corn has the “most notable surge (or ‘increase in item share’) during the week leading up to July 4” at +380%. Potato salad follows at +177% and baby back ribs at +170%.

While political partisanship might be at an all-time high as the country prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, one thing we can all agree on is that corn deserves pride of place on your July 4 table.

Need inspiration and tips on the perfect way to prepare the veggie? Look no further than these tips from some of Charleston’s best food professionals.

Grilled or poached

Jason Stanhope, a Kansas native who is chef and partner at Sullivan’s Fish Camp, said he grew up learning that it was a blasphemy to put corn in the refrigerator. He grills it or poaches it first, then keeps it simple for serving.

“Usually we just cook the corn, oftentimes we shuck it, grill it or we’ll poach it in any sort of stock that we have around. I specifically love chicken stock that comes from the fridge, it just makes it so savory. We always cut it off the cob because we have young boys, and they love to eat it with rice and beans in a big tab of butter.”

Rubbed, pureed or naked

Jeremy Gozlan, executive chef at Estadio, waxes on about the sweet corn from Ambrose Farms, which he says is about as perfect as summer gets.

He said there were countless ways to prepare corn — by rubbing the ears with oil or dusting them with Tajín. And then there’s grilling corn until lightly charred, finished with cotija cheese and lime zest for an elote that might just transport you to the streets of Morelia.

Here’s another way: “Cut the kernels from the cob and gently simmer them in

cream before blending into a purée, the perfect addition to a steak fresh off the grill. If you’re feeling adventurous, save the cobs, smoke them and steep them in a dashi with wakame and bonito flakes for a surprisingly elegant summer soup.”

Gozlan adds, however, that his favorite way to enjoy sweet corn may be the simplest: “If the corn is fresh and the kernels are tender, shuck it, brush away the silk and eat it exactly as it is. No butter. No salt. No embellishment. This is actually how we are serving corn at Estadio right now. Just sweet corn at its peak, crisp, juicy and tasting exactly as nature intended.”

From simple to succotash

Rosebank Farms, located at the entrance to Kiawah River, provides Charleston and the surrounding areas with locally grown produce, fresh local seafood, packaged goods, grab-and-go dishes and seasonal flowers. Owner Sidi Limehouse is a luminary in the Charleston farming and food scene, an expert in local conservation and sustainability initiatives and the region’s first farmer to grow heirloom tomatoes.

Ninety percent of the produce available at the farmstand is grown by Rosebank Farms, and it sources its corn from local farmers for its market. Limehouse keeps it simple and enjoys freshly cooked corn right off the ear after boiling it.

Chef Jonathan Kronsberg of Rosebank Farms gets a little more involved. He favors

a seasonal succotash made with sweet corn cut off the cob, Rosebank’s butter beans, Rosebank’s pink-eyed peas, Rosebank’s green beans (Kentucky Wonders or Half Runners), Sidi’s sweet onions and Rosebank’s petite heirloom tomatoes. He dresses the mix with white balsamic vinegar, local honey, black pepper and emulsified basil, and serves it at room temperature.

If this is too much work, Kronsberg recommended a two-minute boil of the shucked corn, bathed in Isigny Sainte-Mere churned butter with Guerande sea salt crystals, both available at the farmstand.

Keep the husk on

Kristy Bialas and Eric Rogers were the husband-wife duo behind baked-goods business Two Fat Cooks. They unofficially took over operations of the Sea Island Farmers Market on Johns Island in 2020. Their trick for cooking corn at home is all about keeping the husk on.

“Cook your corn however you like: grilled, steamed, boiled, roasted — just keep it in the husk. I trim the stalk end a little if it is too long for the pan or grill, but other than that leave it intact. Once cooked, take a sturdy knife, and cut the stalk end of the cob off about one row of kernels in.

“Squeeze the corn out of the husk from the silk end. All of the silk will stay in the husk. Now you have perfectly cleaned corn without any trouble. You may want to use a clean towel or hot pads to handle the hot corn.”

Foxy G’s Birthday Bash returns to the Pour House

By Vincent Harris

It’s not for us to say whether George Alan Fox, also known as “Foxy G,” is as attractive as his nickname suggests. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course. But what we CAN tell you is that the Charleston singer, songwriter and guitarist is the focus of Foxy G’s 4th Annual Birthday Bash at the Pour House on July 9.

Fox is a founding member of Big Stoner Creek, the group headlining this mini-music fest. And as with most birthday parties, some friends and family will be on hand.

Charleston guitarist Jeff Caldwell, formerly of Col. Bruce Hampton’s band, will play, along with multi-instrumentalist David Vaughan (Dallas Baker and Friends) and vocalist Joan Hale (The Hopeaholics). There will also be some surprises that will continue the whole birthday theme.

A question about the event

So how did this event come about? Why is it focused on Fox?

“I’ve always tried to find a gig on my birthday,” Fox said in a recent interview. “And the Pour House just happens to be a fantastic spot to not only play but to hang out. So four years ago, I asked (the owner) Alex Harris if I could get a gig there and call it the Birthday Bash.”

Ta-dah. An annual staple at the Pour House is born.

“A lot of people don’t want to work on their birthday,” Fox said. “I give a self-indulgent gift to myself by asking some of the best musicians I know to play music with me.”

Fox sounds like one of the most chilledout people around. But as laid-back as the band’s name Big Stoner Creek might be, the music certainly isn’t. It offers a style of music that Fox calls postmodern industrial Appalachian trailer park. That basically means that the band takes acoustic instruments (notably fiddle and mandolin), cranks the volume with some electric guitars and drums and throws a bit of punk sneer to top it off.

An example is “Hey Colleen” from the band’s 2022 self-titled album. Pure bluegrass fiddle lines do battle with an insistent, sleazy blues riff, the beat is relentless and Fox’s vocal is pure wolfish rockabilly leer.

The band’s tangled roots stretch to the 1980s, when a young George Alan Fox moved with his immediate family from Kentucky to Charleston, where his extended family awaited along with the music of the South.

“I came to South Carolina as a child, but that was where all my grandparents, aunts and uncles were,” he said. “I spent a lot of my formative years here in the summer-

Charleston singer-songwriter George Alan Fox will play his own birthday bash at the Pour House July 9

time, staying with the folks up here who were horse farmers. That’s where I heard the bluegrass sound that’s influenced my music ever since.”

The band launched in the early 1990s, standing out musically in the era of Hootie and The Blowfish, Edwin McCain and the Blue Dogs. Since then, the lineup has basically revolved around Fox, though he does have his son playing drums now.

The Birthday Bash is more than the music Fox has made over the years. It’s also about his love of the Charleston music scene. He’s also become an integral part of it. For years, Fox has organized and hosted a weekly concert series called “The Soap Box” at Chico Feo on Folly Beach where hundreds of performers have played.

“Becoming part of the Charleston scene was just something that I was excited about,” he said. “I get excited to be around creative people and trying to facilitate a spot where the audience sits down and listens to something that they’re not familiar with.”

Fox added with a laugh that he’s found a secret talent while running the Soapbox series.

“It turns out that I’m good at organizing musicians in one spot and keeping everything on a schedule,” he said. “I don’t know where it came from, but it seems to be something I can do. It’s a lot like herding cats.”

Thank you to our friends at for teaming up on this issue.

WRITTEN BY BELVIN OLASOV

The Charleston peninsula has a sister.

Twenty miles northeast along the Wando River, there's a beautiful, still largely wild piece of land known as the Cainhoy Peninsula. When Charleston was growing into a major port city, Cainhoy was a satellite, playing support with its brickyards and plantations. When Charleston was beginning to modernize at the turn of the 20th century, Cainhoy was largely the province of two societies: the many small Black communities put together by freedmen in the late 1800s and the estate of Henry F. Guggenheim.

Guggenheim, flush with the riches of the family whose mining empire once controlled most of the world’s copper, silver, and lead, bought the 15,000 acres that are modern day Daniel Island and Cainhoy in the mid-20th century and preserved them well. His Cain Hoy Plantation featured some logging, but largely he kept it as hunting grounds. That meant, until the 526 extension and annexation and development of Daniel Island, Cainhoy was allowed to remain in a state of original wildness that much of the rest of the Charleston area wasn’t.

“It was overshadowed by Charleston. Charleston has a huge historic footprint,” said

Herb Frazier, author of Behind God’s Back, the preeminent history book on the Cainhoy area. “Up until 1992, people by and large didn’t even know Cainhoy was there.”

But no peace lasts forever. After Henry F. Guggenheim passed, the rest of the family soon began planning to develop the land. They began with developing Daniel Island, and then turned their eye to the 9000 acres of the Cainhoy peninsula with their palns for “Point Hope.”

The vision is for what is essentially a new small city down past Daniel Island. With 12,000 new residential units, it would be one of the largest new developments we've seen in the area. Which raises questions, like: how will the already overburdened Clements Ferry Road and Highway 41 deal with that kind of commuter influx? What sort of impact would this have on the wildlife that calls those 9000 acres home? And how much of the land they’re looking to build on would be critical, water-absorbing wetlands?

The Fight

The Coastal Conservation League (co-producer of this issue) and allies like the Southern Environmental Law Center, Charleston Waterkeeper, and the South Carolina Wildlife Federation have argued for years that the scope and environmental impact of the development is unacceptable. If the plans continue as is, it would represent a loss of nearly 200 acres of wetlands, one of the largest single losses in modern Charleston history.

They filed a lawsuit in 2022 on the grounds that the federal Clean Water Act prohibits filling wetlands if there’s a less environmentally damaging alternative – so the 200 acres of lost wetlands, as well as the fact that 45% of the planned housing would be in the 50 year floodplain, would need to be mitigated by the developers.

The environmental coalition also opposes the Army Corps of Engineers permit allowing the “take” of over 100 red-cockaded woodpeckers (which bond to their tree homes and will likely

die if displaced); the habitat destruction of waterbirds like great egrets and wood storks; and the disregard of wildlife found in the area of the Francis Marion Forest like northern long-eared bats and frosted flatwood salamanders. They see it as a dereliction of the Endangered Species Act, and another example of wildlife welfare being disregarded in the wake of development.

The legal fight continues, but may be winding down. The wildlife challenges have been struck down, and the Clean Water Act challenge is up for final review this fall. The assembled environmental groups still believe in the comments they made through SELC attorney Catherine Wannamaker in a 2024 hearing:

“The Cainhoy development is not your average new residential development,” Wanamaker said. “Rather it’s the creation of a new small city sprawling across 9,000 acres of wetlands and pristine forest habitat, bordering a national forest.”

The Path Forward

The environmental coalition is now working on a way to thread the needle, a path forward for the development that they hope will preserve as much wetland and habitat as possible. They’re arguing for the Guggenheims to condense the footprint of the development, building denser, with less suburban sprawl, in order to conserve the critical land along Flagg Creek to the north, to not crowd out communities like Jack Primus that have lived there for generations, and to protect the wetlands in the southern edge of the peninsula.

They also have an alternative plan that would reduce the unit count to address the traffic bomb coming to the area – but they’re not too hopeful about winning that piece. There's an economic incentive to maximize development, after all. If the original plans go through, the Guggenheims stand to make an estimated $6 billion from a widely developed Cainhoy.

To make this happen, the coalition is pushing the City of Charleston to bring the Guggenheims back to the table and adjust the 30-yearold development agreement. They argue that circumstances have changed – in a time of climate crisis and rising sea levels, the last thing we need is mass wetlands destruction that would cascade into more flooding downstream, or more car pollution from continued sprawl, or killing threatened species already vulnerable to climatedriven storms.

So we find ourselves at a crossroads: will this new small city be built sprawling over nature and wetlands to maximize profit for the Guggenheim family? Or will it be built denser to steward the land, water, and wildlife of the Lowcountry?

The Wildlife That Call It Home

Nestled between the explosive development along Clements Ferry Road and the Francis Marion National Forest lies a gem of nature: the undeveloped tracts of the Cainhoy peninsula. Open expanses of longleaf pines and sandy ridges formed by ancient dune systems line the northwestern tracts. Home to red cockaded woodpeckers, these pine savannas are scattered with freshwater wetlands that offer refuge and breeding areas for salamanders, turtles, and frogs. Native wildflowers and grasses flourish and birds and insects flit through the air. At dusk, bats take flight, feasting on mosquitoes. Despite its serene beauty, this land is under imminent threat of being forever lost.

Today the land is facing an aggressive development agreement that proposes 12,000 residential units, as many as 900 docks clawing into the peninsula, additional commercial areas, stormwater ponds and miles upon miles of pavement for roads and driveways. What will become of the thousands of species of trees, grasses, flowers, birds, insects, and fish that call it home?

Sara Green, Executive Director of the SC Wildlife Federation knows this landscape well.

“Longleaf pine was throughout the Southeast, as far as Mississippi, maybe into North Carolina,” Green said. “Now it’s just in smaller pockets.”

The red-cockaded woodpecker, once an endangered species due to habitat loss, has rebounded precisely because places like Cainhoy still contain quality longleaf pine. The species' recovery, Green emphasizes, is inextricably linked to the habitat itself, not just the individual birds.

In the marshes fringing the peninsula, great blue herons and snowy egrets fish along the edges of the water at low tide next to clusters of oysters, while redfish weave into the marsh grass at high tide in search of fiddler crabs. Smaller creeks act as nurseries for both recreational and commercial species: blue crabs, shrimp, and a myriad of fish.

Wetland-dependent species are especially vulnerable. Amphibians require wetlands for their development but also need the surrounding uplands kept in a natural state, not simply manicured grass. Fill those wetlands, and floodwaters begin pushing into the marsh, changing salinity in ways that ripple through the food web.

“So much of that is tied to our seafood industry and recreational fishing,” Green said.

The threat from 700 to 900 proposed docks compounds. Green points out that whether docks are installed all at once, or over the course of a decade, the disruption is constant. And while docks attract fish, high volumes of boat traffic that follows ultimately drives them away.

“Boat traffic stirs sediment into the water column, which then reduces oxygen and adds silt in the smaller waterways,” Green said.

Oysters, which filter the water, can only do so much, and excessive sediment caused by the docks can kill them. Boat wakes also cause rapid erosion from the edges of marshes, causing even more degradation of the creeks.

The developers propose to preserve just 650 of the 9,000 acres of the Cainhoy peninsula’s wild areas. Called the Point Hope Nature Sanctuary, it will sit in the middle of new roads and housing.

What will become of the thousands of species that rely on the complex mosaic of habitats Cainhoy currently holds? And the chemicals that come with new suburban homes –fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides–will wash through the stormwater system into nearby creeks, adding toxic pollutants to the wading birds, fish, and crustaceans that remain. The question is not whether Cainhoy will change. It is how much will be left when the dust finally settles.

The Water It Holds

WRITTEN BY TORREY SANDERS

In an age of worsening flooding, wetlands – nature’s sponges – are only going to become more precious. And with 7.7 billion gallons of natural flood protection, the Cainhoy Peninsula holds more wetland storage capacity than any other part of the City of Charleston.

A team of students from the College of Charleston's Environmental and Sustainability Studies program built an interactive dashboard mapping wetland storage capacity across every city council district in Charleston. Using EPA estimates and National Wetlands Inventory data, they can calculate how much floodwater wetlands can hold in any given region.

"District 1 includes Daniel Island and the Cainhoy Peninsula, that has the most wetlands in the city of Charleston," said Melanie Thorne, who led the team. She hopes that the tool will help build under-

standing of the sheer impact of wetlands. "Billions of gallons of water is really difficult to visualize, but still a very helpful reference."

A billion gallons of water is enough to fill 1,534 Olympic swimming pools, or eight billion 16-ounce water bottles.

"Cainhoy is our local example for why this dashboard matters," said team member Daniel Barney. "The area includes wetlands, portioned land, and low-lying coastal landscapes, but is prone to major development pressures."

The current development proposal, which is looking to bring 12,000 residential units to the peninsula, would require filling approximately 200 acres of those wetlands.

"If this plan were to be fulfilled, we would see losses in natural flood storage capacity, and the biodiverse habitats that make

up these regions' ecosystems," Barney said. "200 acres could represent nearly 200 to 300 million gallons of storage at risk."

Taking away those wetlands, he added, "decreases the island's resilience to tidal flooding, storm surge, and intense rainfall."

That loss would ripple outward. According to a May 2026 study from the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) in Nature Water, wetland destruction along the lower Cooper River corridor, the same system that drains much of the Cainhoy area, has already cost the region an estimated $13.5 million in flood damage reduction since 1985. Nationwide, the study estimates wetland loss has driven up flood insurance claims by roughly $10 billion since that time.

Charleston educator and wetlands advocate Merrie Koester, Ph.D., noted the EDF study only tells part of the story. "The study doesn't even begin to touch the loss of development of our coastal salt marshes, which attenuate stormsurge impacts and stabilize shorelines, saving lives and property during hurricanes."

On Cainhoy, nearly 200 million gallons of flood storage is at stake. When those wetlands are gone, so is the flood storage. No stormwater ponds or pipes will replace what nature provides us for free.

Oy Vey, the Traffic!

The proposed Cainhoy development’s massive influx of new houses would transform the peninsula in unimaginable ways. Traffic modeling for the Clements Ferry Road widening project, completed in 2024, estimates that full buildout would push somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 vehicles per day through what is still a two-corridor system. A national expert retained by the Southern Environmental Law Center found that even after the road was widened, Cainhoy development at scale would drive it to a failing Level of Service, the traffic engineering designation for conditions so congested they become genuinely dangerous. Not slow. Failed.

The Cainhoy Peninsula is at stake.

Sign the petition

30 years ago, the the City of Charleston signed a development agreement for the Cainhoy Peninsula. A lot has changed since 1996, but the developers still plan to fill nearly 200 acres of wetlands, place roughly half the homes in the floodplain, and build up to 12,000 units on one of the last large undeveloped tracts on the Charleston neck. Tell City Council and the Mayor it's time to update that agreement.
