But if you grew up in the South, … [Read more...]
I was sitting in an illustrious banquet room, at a table covered neatly by white cloth. To my left was a game room of sorts, where a group of chirpy women were playing bridge. Ten previous, the newly-renovated clubhouse at Snee Farm Country Club in Mount Pleasant was no more than a “dilapidated, leaky, muggy, smelly and run-down” facility, but … [Read more...]

The restaurants and bars we currently love would be gone, of course, replaced by … [Read more...]
The army wives were stationed in Landings Run, a Mount Pleasant neighborhood, this past January. Now in its sixth season, “Army Wives” is filmed in the Charleston area, and, while many scenes are shot on a soundstage downtown, they often go on location to lend authenticity to the drama. Over the last five seasons, Charleston and its environs … [Read more...]

Mapped references to the area now known as Mount Pleasant first appeared in the late 1600s. A 1672 map created for the Lords Proprietors refers to the land surrounded by Charleston Harbor, Shem Creek and Cove Inlet as North Point, while a later undated map indicates it is Oldwanus Point. The earliest known inhabitants of the land were members of … [Read more...]
