Charleston County School District trustees said they want to continue building momentum through second terms

Trustee elections could shake up Charleston school board By Skyler Baldwin More than half of the seats that make up the Charleston County school board are up for election this year, four of which are currently held by trustees who were backed by right-wing advocacy group Moms for Liberty in 2022. Candidate filing closes on Aug. 17. As of noon Aug. 5, 13 candidates filed, including all five incumbents. Candidates include: • District 1 (East Cooper): Char Fitzater and Keith Grybowski (incumbent). • District 3 (downtown Charleston): Joseph Bennett, Stuart Day, Pam McKinney (incumbent), Bethany Nemitz and Tressa Pankovits. • District 5 (North Charleston): Carlotte Bailey (incumbent) and Libby Tisdale. • District 7 (West Ashley): Joy Brown and Leah Whatley (incumbent). • District 9 (James Island): Carol Tempel. McKinney, who serves as chair, told the Charleston City Paper she is not seeking re-election, despite having previously filed for candidacy. Tempel was not backed by Moms for Liberty in 2022.

“My husband and I are moving,” McKinney told the Charleston City Paper. “Our new address puts us outside District 3, and I am 100% committed to finishing my term through November, so we’re staying put for now and then moving out to District 9. … The overlap would make it impossible [to run for that district].” Bailey did not respond to requests for comment. Whatley was not available for an interview prior to publication. Both incumbents have active campaign websites.

Re-election reflections

In 2022, eight members of the nine-person board were new, with about half of them serving only two-year terms following a change required by state law. With only one incumbent survivor, the first year of the new board was marred by heavy politicization and poor communication with parents and each other. Votes often fell on faction lines, pushing what opponents called farright agendas. “It was a rough start,” Grybowski said. “Eight of us had no idea what we were doing, and until you’re on the board, you really don’t get it. You’re really so limited

in what you can do. It’s a very defined responsibility.” The first year also saw unannounced meetings that opponents asserted were illegal, allegations of incompetence, outcries from the LGBT community, calls for state intervention and school board meetings packed with dozens of angry attendees. But recent years have felt calmer and less frenetic. “That first year was very tough,” Grybowski said. “But it’s only getting better. Teacher appreciation is at the highest level.

Two people were hurt Monday morning in a horse carriage accident near the intersection of Cumberland and Church streets in Charleston. The carriage operator and one passenger were thrown from the carriage and taken to the hospital, according to media reports. Other passengers on board were not hurt. While the city did not identify a cause for the accident, Palmetto Carriage Works (PCW) said Howard, the horse, was startled by an approaching truck. The accident also caused damage to a parked car. Howard was not injured, PCW said, and he is now resting at the barn. Howard will not conduct tours while the incident is reviewed. The incident comes months after a fatal horse carriage incident in New York City. An 18-year-old tourist died after falling from a runaway horse carriage in Central Park, New York City police said. Carriage tours in Central Park have since been suspended. —City Paper Staff

White waits for kidney while helping other transplant hopefuls By Herb Frazier Johns Island event planner Jarvis L. White, who was diagnosed in December 2025 with kidney failure, is slowly growing a kidney-transplant support group to rally people who are anxiously awaiting the gift of an organ. The Villagers That Rock support group grew from White’s monthly sharing of kidney disease information at his Wadmalaw Island church, New Webster United Methodist Church, to a social media conversation about the latest medical treatments and implantation options. Two members of the five participants in the support group, he said, have received kidneys. They have joined the more than 3,000 South Carolinians who are living with donated organs, according to American Kidney Fund (AKF) data compiled in 2024. White does not take credit for helping support group members to find a viable match. Those patients were on the transplant list, he said, before they engaged with Villagers That Rock. “I was praying with them and for them as they were waiting,” he added. The Medical University of South Carolina recently told White it might have a donor for him. His medical team, he said, stressed that more testing is needed before that can be confirmed. White’s father, Jessie White of Johns Island, said he is “grateful” for the possibility that his son will be paired with a donor. But he can’t believe Jarvis’s kidney failed when it appears he was a healthy forty-three-old. The AKF reports that in 2023 only about one in three Palmetto State residents on the kidney transplant waiting list received a transplant.

Parent appreciation is at the highest level. Tempel and Grybowski pointed to the hiring of Superintendent Anita Huggins as the biggest accomplishment by the board since their elections in 2022. McKinney, though she isn’t running, summarized the last four years as a team effort. “There are nine trustees, and all of us only get one vote,” she explained. “It’s a joint effort, so I see these at board accomplishments.” McKinney pointed to Huggins’ hiring, and her recent rating by the Charleston Teacher Alliance of 3.6 out of 4 — the highest of any superintendent the district has had. She also noted the board raised the starting teacher salary to $65,000 as examples of that team effort. Grybowski said he was not seeking an endorsement from Moms for Liberty — or any political group for that matter — this year. He clarified he didn’t seek it in 2022, but admitted the politicization of the board was a big cause for a lot of the tension early in his term. “They had a platform, and I agreed with some of it,” he said. “I didn’t agree with all of it, but I’m not going to go out and seek an endorsement. If you endorse me, great, but that’s your opinion. … This is nonpartisan, and I take that pretty seriously.”

Building momentum

Tempel listed several agenda items she wanted to continue pushing for in the future if elected, including higher teacher pay, universal pre-K across the district and increasing transparency when engaging with the public. Grybowski agreed, though he said a second term might be enough for him. “I just want to continue to support Anita Huggins,” he said. “But eight years is enough for any school board member. You need fresh blood, but once you get started, you want that stability, and you need that relationship.” Huggins said it was important for Charleston County residents to be involved in the school board election. “The progress Charleston County has experienced reflects years of focused work by educators, families, community partners, district leadership and its Board of Trustees,” she told the City Paper in a statement. “While work remains, maintaining that momentum depends on thoughtful governance and a continued focus on what is working for students. “School board elections are an important opportunity for citizens to participate in the future of public education. When board members work collaboratively with one another and with district leadership, keeping students at the center of every decision, we create the conditions for meaningful progress and improved outcomes for all of Charleston County’s children.”

The College of Charleston quietly demolished the former YWCA headquarters to make way for a proposed dormitory

Group miffed by college’s demolition of YWCA building

News 08.07.2026

By Herb Frazier

A local citizens group has concerns that the College of Charleston did not notify members just before workers began to demolish the former YWCA headquarters at 106 Coming St., site of a proposed student dormitory. Demolition of the building, which was on land where thousands of 18th century people are believed to have been buried, started July 30. Six days earlier, the college’s president, Andrew Hsu, sent faculty, staff and CofC newsletter subscribers the following general update: “Over the next several weeks, additional building removal work is planned on campus: the one-story structure at 106 Coming Street (July 27–August 10) and the former residence hall on Calhoun Street (August 3–14). Both of these structures were approved for demolition by Charleston’s Board of Architectural Review in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The specific work dates are dependent on contractor scheduling and weather conditions.” Members of the Community Engagement Council asked for a more specific notice within 24 hours of demolition, but didn’t receive it. Meanwhile, the college’s board of trustees held a special meeting Aug. 3. Student housing was an agenda item. The trustees went into executive session to receive “legal advice and discussion of matters incidental to proposed contractual arrangements regarding student housing,” according to a statement from the college. It is not known whether that advice involved 106 Coming St. or nearby College Lodge on Calhoun Street, which also is being torn down. No votes reportedly were taken after the executive session. CEC member Walter Brown of Moncks Corner told the Charleston City Paper that

“

Honoring the YWCA could have started with a better communication of the building being torn down. That is not to say they don’t have plans, but I don’t know what those plans are.”

—LaVanda Brown

the Coming Street demolition of the YWCA building “saddens me (as) a loss of a place where young (African American) women had an opportunity to develop their personal skills. The college ignored that” with the decision to raze the entire structure. The 20-member CEC was scheduled to meet Aug. 6. According to an Aug. 5 release from the college, “the council will discuss a site commemoration event, engagement with funeral directors and receive project updates.” Brown said he might join the meeting remotely to raise his concerns. The college is seeking to build a dormitory on the former YWCA property that covers a portion of an 18th century cityowned paupers’ cemetery. It formed the CEC as an advisory group for the project. The group, however, is “not to determine whether the approved project should proceed,” the college has said. LaVanda Brown, executive director of the YWCA of Greater Charleston, said the community knew that at some point the building would be removed, “but I was surprised when it happened. I didn’t know

other than rumors that it would be happening (last) week.” While the college has said it wanted to preserve the YWCA’s legacy, the building’s unceremonious demise raises questions “as to whether they are sensitive to how much that building meant to so many people,” LaVanda Brown said. “Honoring the YWCA could have started with a better communication of the building being torn down. That is not to say they don’t have plans, but I don’t know what those plans are” beyond a proposed mural and a plaque at the site, she said. “They missed an opportunity to honor the organization’s history with those folks who would have wanted to know” about the building’s removal, she added. Walter Brown, who is not related, said he had proposed that the college preserve a portion of the building. “The CEC has become a tool” for the college to engage with the community, he said. “But we are only in an advisory capacity” and it is not a working partnership with the college, he added. The YWCA moved into the 5,000 squarefoot, single-story building in 1964, a time when the organization was still segregated. The college received city’s Board of Architectural Review approval to demolish the building in June 2025. The college still needs approvals from state agencies to remove the asphalt parking lot around the building. In a statement, the college said, clearing the site could extend through Aug. 11. “As part of planned redevelopment of 106 Coming St., the College of Charleston initiated demolition of the long vacant single-story building on Thursday, July 30, 2026. Demolition is weather-dependent and may occur over a period of days,” the statement said.

A James Island woman told Charleston police on July 23 someone stuffed five dead fish into her mailbox, creating an “overwhelming and pungent odor that permeated the entire mailbox.” Police said the woman is known for reporting several kids to the state Department of Natural Resources for fishing a pond on her property. Related? Hmmm. Yeah, probably. Gross? Oh yeah, absolutely. Just cooling off Mount Pleasant police on July 24 arrested an apparently drunken man on Hungryneck Boulevard after watching him crawl out of a retention pond with his bicycle. Police pieced together the scene pretty quickly, even though the man couldn’t coherently answer any of their questions. It helped that they found two empty mini-bottles of whisky in his backpack. Put the lotion in the basket Charleston police on July 20 responded to a Savannah Highway pharmacy after receiving reports that someone stole over a dozen bottles of lotion from the store. Officers quickly found the suspect and the stolen goods — roughly $200 worth of lotion — and returned them to the store before arresting the thief. Hey, y’all, might want to check that guy’s house. You know … just in case. By Skyler Baldwin Illustration by Steve Stegelin The Blotter is taken from reports filed with area police departments between July 20 and July 26.

Change in S.C. will look different in 2026 T

he midterm elections in November are shaping up to be a tipping point for change nationally, but in South Carolina? Maybe not so much. Across the nation in red, blue and purple states, it’s not uncommon to see big rallies for candidates who want to shake up the system. People are frustrated by the high costs of gas, health care, housing and the price of eggs. They’re angry because of corruption and double-dealing in Washington, ICE, neglect of the rule of law and a general disregard by both parties of getting real things done to help regular people. The swamp, it appears, has just gotten swampier. Nationally, recent polling shows a Democratic candidate holds a seven-point advantage over a Republican candidate in a generic U.S. House district. That’s similar to just before the galvanizing 2018 congressional midterms when Democrats gained a net total of 40 seats — 17 more than the 23 they needed to flip the House. Right now, Republicans hold a shaky, razor-thin majority, controlling 219 of 435 seats with four vacancies. Democrats have 212 seats. But with the scent of change burning, most pundits expect the House to flip control in November. But any change isn’t expected to be as dramatic as eight years ago because Republicans in 2022 and this year shored up their strength through unusual and blatant redistricting efforts. “Gerrymandering puts a lot of members of Congress in safe seats that otherwise would be in danger,” said Winthrop University pollster Scott Huffmon. In the Senate, where Republicans also hold a narrow majority, only a third of the seats are up for reelection. It may not flip to Democratic control, he said, due to a bias toward incumbents. Nevertheless, many frustrated voters may not want to turn

out incumbents because they’re Democratic or Republican. Rather, 2026 may be an election of change because people are mad at both parties and want a change agent from another party, whichever it is. “The new attitude is anti-institutional,” Huffmon said, “especially the current younger folks who are fed up with hyperpartisan politics. It is less about the policies than about the parties themselves, which they think are focused on undermining the other party and not working for the good of the people.” If the 2026 midterm elections are a national referendum on power and institutions in Washington, it might be good to ask how that would look in South Carolina, where all constitutional officers are Republican and both chambers of the General Assembly are dominated by Republicans. The answer, in short, is that 2026 won’t be as much of a “change” election in South Carolina. More than likely, the balance of power will stay mostly the same. Three races, however, might signal a slow movement toward change. Change could drift our way if Dr. Annie Andrews beats the still unknown Republican challenger in the race for U.S. Senate. Change could come if retired Admiral Nancy Lacore is successful in stoking anti-establishment sentiment in the First Congressional District race against GOP candidate Jenny Honeycutt. And change may be headed here if Democratic challenger and banker Vincent Coe snags a victory against GOP State Treasure Curtis Loftis, who some fellow Republicans wanted to fire for incompetence related to billions of dollars of accounting errors. Hang on for a wild ride.

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 infra structure and make smart climate change decisions about develop ment, 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.

OPINION

Better water planning would help state By Andy Brack Back in 1929, the man who became South Carolina’s longest-serving state superintendent of education (1922-1947) included a quote in a state report about the need to be prepared.

Moonlight Mixers August 21

“Failing to plan is planning to fail,” said the report by James H. Hope. It’s still true today. With recent news around the state about two challenges related to the state’s waters, maybe it’s time for South Carolina to get a little more serious about water planning. The Charleston City Paper recently outlined how millions of tiny plastic pellets called nurdles are finding their way into state waters due to carelessness, accidents or something else. The United States produces about 60 billion pounds of these granular plastics that make the plastic products we use everyday like toothbrushes, water bottles and lawn chairs. The big problem with nurdles is they get into the food chain because they look tasty to small fish, who eat them. Then big fish eat the small ones. And then we eat the bigger fish and end up with more pieces of microplastics floating around our bodies — not healthy. In July, the newspaper also reported how state waters may be at increasing risk from development. New research shows rainwater that hits temporary waterways called “ephemeral streams” to feed reservoirs and creeks may no longer have federal protections following a 2023 judicial decision. While some state protections remain, the rules are now a little more unsettled. Squishier rules make for more conservation volatility. This brings us back to planning. More than 30 years ago, the state passed a zoning measure to encourage local governments to do comprehensive land planning. Having more certainty where housing and industrial sites can develop, as well as knowing the areas where conservation is a priority, makes for better, more responsible long-term use of land. It also brings more certainty to economic development — and to conservation — if everyone knows the rules. These days with all of the hullabaloo over data centers, which use huge amounts of fresh water to cool electronics that keep information flowing, and over continuing environmental threats to water supplies, maybe it’s time to bring more certainty to how we manage water, just as we did with managing land. If each county had a comprehensive water management plan, for example, it might not have to spend so much time on a moratorium here or a reaction there when a crisis pops up. Why? Because the plan would help mitigate future crises. “I think it’s government’s responsibility to include the assurance that every citizen has the ability to depend on whatever public water supply is being provided and for it to not be affected by any contaminant,” said Johns Island conservationist Michael McShane, a Ducks Unlimited board member who recently won South Carolina’s highest civilian award for his decades of conservation commitment. Economic development and conservation can co-exist — and flourish — when rules are clear, said McShane, a former chair of the S.C. Department of Natural Resources board of directors and the S.C. Conservation Bank. McShane said offering more certainty in water planning would benefit everyone. It’s a logical step forward from the state’s 1994 land planning, too. And to ensure it wouldn’t be an unfunded mandate, the state should provide some financial assistance to local governments to assist water conservation planning efforts. “Do a water wetlands plan,” McShane said. “It ought to be part of what they’re doing with comprehensive planning anyway.” As General and later President Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “In preparing for battle, I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” With increasing threats to South Carolina’s much-heralded abundant waters from nurdles, pollution, development and storm-related flooding, the General Assembly in 2027 should help local governments get on top of water conservation planning with guidelines and funding to make it happen.

ometimes, the elephant in the room really is an elephant — as in the South Carolina Republican Party, the grand old pachyderm that’s stomped every Democrat running statewide for the past 20 years. That’s right. There are Palmetto State voters — tens of thousands of them, in fact — who literally weren’t alive the last time a statewide Democratic candidate uncorked the champagne at an election-night victory party. So how does Dr. Annie Andrews, the Lowcountry pediatrician turned Democratic U.S. Senate candidate, deal with the elephant at the center of her campaign? Directly. “Yes, we can absolutely win,” she told the Charleston City Paper this week, patiently ticking off the internal polling and fundraising data that show her in a dead heat with any potential Republican nominee. On Aug. 11, voters in a special Republican primary will pick her opponent following the unexpected recent death of the incumbent, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham. “I’m tied with all these Republicans because people are tired of a broken Washington, D.C.,” she said. “They’re looking for something different — and as a doctor and a mom and someone who represents a generational shift in leadership, that’s exactly what I’m offering.” Of course, this isn’t the race that she, or anyone else, was expecting. A month ago, Andrews was focused on beating Lindsey Graham — an uphill race, to be sure, but one whose outlines were clear. Now, she’s in uncharted territory, watching from the sidelines while the GOP’s snap primary plays out. Still, given the invariably low turnout in special elections, Andrews expects the GOP to serve up a candidate that’s a better fit for the party’s MAGA grassroots than its rankand-file November voters. “The people who are going to show up and vote in the primary are the most dialedin, most hyper-partisan Republicans in South Carolina,” she said. “That’s why a more moderate, reasonable Republican like Mark Sanford, sadly in my view, doesn’t stand a chance.” Sanford, the former congressman and governor who briefly challenged Trump for the GOP presidential nomination in 2020, is currently polling a distant fourth in the race. Last week, he was endorsed by the City Paper’s editorial board. Other high-profile candidates in the Aug. 11 race include U.S. Reps. Ralph Norman of York and Russell Fry of Myrtle Beach and the current incumbent, Graham’s sister Darline. And it’s precisely the growing gap she sees between MAGA and Main Street that the Andrews campaign campaign, with its relentless focus on pragmatic solutions to everyday S.C. problems like affordability and health care, was designed to exploit. “When I’m talking to center-right

Republicans, they feel like their party left them and they’re looking for an alternative,” she said. “I believe South Carolina can become central to the story of how we turned the page on this hyper-partisan and hyper-divisive era of American politics.” What’s more, she noted, she comes by that view honestly. After all, her own father is a lifelong Republican — and once a proud Lindsey Graham donor.

FROM PEDIATRICS TO POLITICS

rist,” and called some of the Democratic Socialists of America’s more controversial positions, such as prison abolition, “unAmerican and unhinged.” “That’s not the far-left of my party,” Andrews said, when asked about the latter comment. “The DSA is a separate party — the Democratic Socialists of America — and I’m not a socialist.”

“I believe South Carolina can become central to the story of how we turned the page on this hyper-partisan and hyper-divisive era of American politics.” —Dr. Annie Andrews Which may explain why she’s been so clear in this race about what she stands for — and what she doesn’t. In the past two weeks alone, she’s publicly condemned U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a “grifter and conspiracy theo-

And with DSA candidates winning highprofile Democratic primaries around the country, Andrews said her GOP opponents will try to tar her with the socialist brush — as indeed, some already have. “They’re going to try to associate me with this DSA movement,” she said. “But I don’t

support the DSA or its platform. And that’s not the last time you’ll hear me say that.”

IT’S THE AFFORDABILITY, STUPID

It seems hard to remember now, but in 1992, Republicans had been in the White House for 20 of the past 24 years — an electoral run not unlike the one the GOP is on here in the Palmetto State. That’s why then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton’s Democratic campaign was so ruthlessly disciplined about not being dragged off-message by the daily barrage of new issues and stories. That campaign’s mantra, captured in a legendary sign at its national headquarters? “Change versus more of the same. The economy, stupid. Don’t forget health care.” It’s hard to talk to Annie Andrews and not hear the echoes of that long-ago exercise in message discipline. “When I’m talking to voters, it’s really

two things that we’re talking about — affordability and health care,” Andrews said. “And to me, the health-care piece is part of the affordability conversation, because if you can’t afford to see the doctor, you’re never going to be able to thrive economically in any other way.” As Andrews continues, you can feel the underlying MAGA versus Main Street theory of her campaign start to take shape. “Grocery prices are high because of inflation and tariffs, gas prices are high because of the war Trump started with Iran, and our health care system is on the brink of disaster because of the Republican Medicaid budget cuts,” Andrews said, noting that every major S.C. GOP official has supported all of it. “That’s why they’re going to try to associate me with the DSA,” she added. “They don’t have a record to run on, and they haven’t delivered for South Carolina.” Asked what she’d want every South Carolinian to know about her before heading to the polls this November, her answer was simple. “I’m a pediatrician who’s worked on the front lines of our health care system for 20 years,” she said. “I’m a mom of three public school kids in Charleston County. I’m a pragmatic problem-solver and a public servant.” She paused briefly, and then finished her thought. “And I’m not a career politician,” she said. “I know South Carolina deserves a senator who will wake up every day and think about South Carolina first and fight for South Carolina first — and that’s exactly what I’ll do.”

charlestoncitypaper.com

Like the famous Hemingway character who went bankrupt “slowly, then all at once,” Andrews’ political origin story starts with small moments in the life of a doctor — the patient struggling to pay for life-saving care, the mother leaving her child’s bedside to work a third shift — followed by an abrupt transformation. “Everybody who makes a big pivot like I have from the practice of medicine to politics has that moment that drove them off the sidelines,” she said. “And for me, it was the shooting on Feb. 14, 2018, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.” Why that one, and not the many before it? “That was the first school shooting I experienced as the mother of a school-aged child,” she said quietly. “My oldest daughter was in kindergarten that year, so it just hit me differently. And I knew right then that I needed to find a way in, a way to be a part of solving these problems future generations of Americans were facing.” Three years later, Andrews found her first way in — an uphill run for Congress against the famously fractious GOP U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace in the heavily gerrymandered 1st District. “Nancy Mace really didn’t pull any punches,” Andrews said. “I got to see the ugliest side of politics in that race.” But she also learned a lot, she said, from how to raise money to how to spend her own time. “Mostly,” she said, “I learned how to confidently run the kind of campaign I want to run and to talk about the issues I want to talk about.”

CudaCo.’s culinary team can play with more experimental dishes at the Deck House

CudaCo. is much more than a seafood house

Cuisine 08.07.2026

By Becky Lacey

James Island native Chris John grew up on the Charleston waterways. After graduating from Bishop England High School, he enrolled at the University of California at Santa Cruz to study marine biology and ocean studies. Post college, life took him to Indonesia and Hawaii, where he ran importing businesses bringing local products back to the states. The Lowcountry waters called him back in 2007 and, after running a granite importing business, John shifted into commercial fishing. He started Oyster Point Seafood and he has provided fish to some of the top restaurants in Charleston for the past 15 years. A history of commercial fishing and oystering exposed him to the many facets of the seafood ecosystem. This, in turn, allowed him to create the elevated food program at CudaCo. Seafood House on James Island. Oyster Point remains the umbrella brand over the seafood house, the recently opened Deck House and a forthcoming retail space, which will live in a third building

on the compound on Folly Road. John said everything he and his team do under Oyster Point is geared towards the highest quality seafood and a vision of sustainability.

oysters, shrimp, scallops and fish. Deck House opened May 2026 and offers chef-inspired creations that are an extension of CudaCo. John said Deck House is a place where the team can “flex” a bit more, and the kitchen is led by Culinary Director Philip Costas. “The idea behind Deck House was to expand on our celebrations of the ocean that we’re doing with our food program at the seafood house,” John said. “It’s working. The feedback has been off the chain across the board. We’re so grateful for the welcome that everyone has given us and for everybody showing up.”

At the compound

CudaCo. Seafood House opened in January 2021 with Chef Shaun Brian Sells leading the kitchen. “With our food program, we want to be a celebration of the ocean,” John said. “We want to offer — through delectable and very selective bites — this elevated experience where people are getting their mind blown with every little moment.” CudaCo. fills space that formerly housed Huff’s Seafood. During Covid, the property became available, and John and Sells jumped at the opportunity to nab it. Since opening, the seafood house has quickly established itself as one of the best places to dine in Charleston. On any given day, you’ll find the freshest seafood on the menu and on ice for retail sale. Ceviche is simply prepared with lime juice, avocado mousse and scallions. A po’ boy

In the market, you’ll find options like

Sustainability as a pillar

Sustainability has always been a big part of CudaCo., John said. “We decided early on to create CudaCo. as a water lifestyle brand,” he shared. “There are a lot of different components to it. CudaCo.’s main vision is sustainability and how all that affects our world’s oceans. One of the things that we wanted to do as a brand was offer solutions to some of these

bigger problems that we see affecting our waterways.” This means everything from recycling oyster shells to creating smoked fish at the restaurants, which uses any leftover fish from the market. It also means small — but impactful — changes like wrapping fish in parchment instead of plastic and using compostable products. The goal is zero waste. “We have our smoked program which is another thing we’re very passionate about and one of the big sectors we’re pushing into,” John said. “We take everything off the market and smoke it every day, and we create grab-and-go items. That’s where all our smoked fish, smoked mussels, smoked scallops and smoked oysters come from.” And these are great convenience foods. Smoked mussels are made with pesto so all you have to do is throw in some fresh pasta at home and you have a complete meal. Another place where sustainability is practiced is with the brands that CudaCo. supports and sells. Toadfish, for instance, is a Charleston-based coastal lifestyle brand that produces eco-friendly outdoor products. While retail currently is sold out of the seafood house, it will soon be found in the third building on the compound, slated to open later this year. This space will also house a wine shop and host special events. While on the surface it might look like Oyster Point Seafood and CudaCo. are just restaurants and a fish market, they are so much more. “It’s an elevated experience where you get to come, sit by the water and enjoy the CudaCo. compound,” John said about what he and his team have created on Folly Road. “We ultimately want to elevate people into connecting with the brand and the mission and the story. And what better place to do it than James Island? A place surrounded by water. The Lowcountry that we all love. “It’s been such a privilege to be able to bring something like this back to the island that I grew up on. I’m on this journey to create something bigger than myself and have everybody be a part of it.”

By Maura Hogan Cozy up to any Charleston coffee or cocktail counter, and you’ll quickly learn that everyone has a story. From beenya to comeya or somewhere in between, we are a region of raconteurs. And the city teems with tales rooted here for centuries. Now, the celebrated national StoryCorps organization has rolled into town in a Sprinter van to coax out these tales, record them for eternity and share them widely via weekly broadcasts, a podcast, animated shorts, digital platforms and bestselling books. For the uninitiated, StoryCorps is the national nonprofit organization that since 2003 has furthered the notion that everyone has an important story to tell and that each story matters. The aim is nothing short of shoring up humanity, while also illuminating the possibility of each individual, one poignant passage at a time. The recordings of those narratives are collected in the U.S. Library of Congress, and live also on an online archive that today is the largest single collection of human voices ever compiled–to date, more than 750,000 representing 50 states.

While StoryCorps has motored to town in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, its Charleston recordings take place indoors at Trident United Way, to ensure that air conditioning is ample during sweltering summer days.

Letojia Dawkins, director of Interview Collection at StoryCorp who leads the organization’s interview collection strategy, has been along for the ride. “So far on this tour, we’ve captured a lot of historical recordings. Friends have come in to share lifelong memories, and communities have been intentional about preserving stories they don’t want to see lost,”

10 concerts not to miss through December By Vincent Harris The dog days of summer may be winding down, but Charleston’s live music calendar is just getting warmed up. As the year moves into its final quarter, the Holy City’s concert scene shifts into high gear with a steady stream of touring favorites, genre-spanning club shows and hometown acts filling stages from downtown rooms to larger outdoor venues. The fall months have always been a sweet spot for live music here — cooler temperatures, packed calendars and a post-summer rush of artists making their way through the Lowcountry. Whether you’re looking for roots rock, country, jazz, indie, jam bands or something a little harder to define, here are 10 coming shows that offer plenty of reasons to leave the house for some great tunes:

Aug. 29: Goo Goo Dolls

Credit One Stadium Alternative rock veterans Goo Goo Dolls brings a catalog of radio staples to Credit One Stadium for a night of ’90s and early-2000s nostalgia. Led by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac, the band has spent more than three decades crafting emotionally charged rock anthems, including “Iris,” “Slide” and “Name.”

Sept. 2: The War and Treaty

The Refinery Husband-and-wife duo The War and

Treaty brings a powerful blend of soul, gospel, blues and Americana. With Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter’s soaring vocals at the center, the pair has earned acclaim for its electrifying live performances and emotionally charged songs that draw from love, struggle and resilience.

Sept. 10: Billy Currington and Kip Moore

Firefly Distillery Country hits take over Firefly Distillery when Billy Currington and Kip Moore share the stage for a night of laid-back anthems and radio favorites. Currington’s smooth vocals and songs like “People Are Crazy” and “Good Directions” pair with Moore’s heartland rock edge and fan favorites including “Somethin’ ’Bout a Truck” and “More Girls Like You.”

Sept. 14-15: Little Feat

Charleston Music Hall Cult favorite band Little Feat is doing one last, very long run of shows before retiring. This Charleston stop is a two-night stand celebrating more than five decades of the band’s genre-bending music. Known for its distinctive blend of rock, blues, country, funk and New Orleans-inspired grooves, Little Feat’s catalog includes enduring favorites like “Dixie Chicken,” “Willin’ ” and “Fat Man in the Bathtub.” Live onstage, these songs grow to epic jams.

Oct. 14: Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox

Charleston Music Hall This band reimagines modern pop hits through the sounds of bygone eras, transforming familiar songs with vintage jazz, swing, soul and big-band arrangements. The rotating collective has built a global following with its creative covers, theatrical performances and old-meets-new approach to contemporary music. Valfred Mendoza

Unfortunately, he passed away before I could get him to the Atlanta StoryBooth.” The organization has continued to evolve with the times. While it no longer hosts

listening events in person, it continues to bring communities back together through virtual events so they can hear some of the stories collected during the tour. The shift to specific initiatives is recent, too. “While we’re still collecting every story, highlighting initiatives has helped participants connect with the kinds of stories they’d like to share,” Dawkins said.

Charleston Music Hall Charleston favorites the Blue Dogs close out the year with its traditional “Homecoming” show. After 40 years, the band still has its signature blend of Southern rock, roots and Americana.

than ever, and your gifts are ripening just as they are most valuable to your community. But I must add that the road ahead will not be frictionless. You will have to outmaneuver diversionary tactics and dispel pockets of confusion. To serve as a shimmering catalyst of beauty and truth for your allies—and a shrewd strategist in the presence of deflections—lean into the paradoxical counsel attributed to Jesus: Be gentle and pure like a dove, yet keenly perceptive and discerning like a serpent. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Concrete continues to cure beyond the time when it’s first poured. After seven days, it has 70 percent of its ultimate strength, and after 14 days, 90 percent. It usually keeps getting sturdier for a few months, even years. I propose that we use this as a metaphor for what you’re working on, Scorpio. The foundations you established a while back are still solidifying. Projects that are working pretty well are still developing potency. This is a good thing! Everything is slowly improving through processes you’re not actively managing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here’s your assignment: Find yourself a pair of enchanted pants that will bring you good luck and stir up fun. How will you know that they’re authentically charmed? Because when you put them on, you will instinctively wander toward adventures that expand your understandings about life. They may also lead you to explore places and situations that aren’t truly forbidden or taboo, but which you have oddly avoided as if they were forbidden or taboo. Finally, your enchanted pants are likely to inspire you to dream up a few crazy good ideas that will turn out not to be mostly good and not at all crazy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In classical music, a “fermata” is a symbol on the sheet music that instructs the instrumentalist to hold a note longer than its written duration. How long? It’s unpredictable. The musician decides. I think your life would benefit from a metaphorical fermata or two, Capricorn—maybe even more. You won’t come to a protracted pause, but you will engage in strategic prolonging, extending certain notes beyond their expected duration. Examples? Lingering longer in a conversation from which you’re inclined to exit early; staying with an ambiguous emotion rather than rushing to resolution; allowing a project to develop more leisurely than you might if you were simply pushing for sheer efficiency. Opt for what’s soulful instead of what’s crisp and neat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Fate is subtly but insistently pressuring you to stop squandering energy on half-hearted, hand-me-down desires. Why? So your real, holy obsessions can move to the center of your attention. The tepid wishes and lukewarm yearnings are being exposed for what they are: distractions that nibble away at your time and passion without fully feeding your soul. As these mediocre drives fade in importance, you’ll be exultant to see how much more fire, clarity, and juice you have available for the few burning, churning yearnings that truly belong to you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean is so deep that if Mount Everest were located at the bottom, its peak would be over a mile underwater. The deepest point in the ocean could swallow the highest point on land with room to spare. The world holds more below than above. Please meditate on this fun fact, Pisces. I hope it inspires you to understand that your most interesting power often lies in the depths, not the peaks. While others are summiting, you’re descending into the mysterious, fathomless interiors. Your explorations may not photograph well because they happen in darkness. But they are the source of your strength.
