Beauty from the Ashes: St. Andrew’s Finds Strength in Community

Beauty from the Ashes: St. Andrew’s Finds Strength in Community

It’ll take more than a fire to crush the indomitable spirit of St. Andrew’s Church in Mount Pleasant. In fact, the tragedy seems to have done just the opposite. The Rev. Steve Wood, bishop of the Diocese of the Carolinas, has been the rector of St. Andrew’s in the Old Village for 18 years. He takes the paraphrased words of the prophet Isaiah 61:3 to heart: God brings beauty … [Read more...]

The Art of Business

American author, monk and mystic Thomas Merton once proclaimed, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Without intricate portraits, oil paintings of captivating cityscapes and funky abstracts, where would we be? Mediums of creative expression have the ability to transform a space and create a mood. We chose a variety of Mount Pleasant businesses … [Read more...]

The Thieves Market’s Days Are Numbered: Turning the Page

It took five years for Carl Page to find a permanent home for his business, a primitive building in an old lumber yard on a dusty, two-lane road along the route to a couple of small, quiet beach towns. More than half a century later, Page’s Thieves Market is still a Mount Pleasant icon, a place where locals and visitors – and, now, online shoppers – can browse for everything … [Read more...]

An Amusing Story: The Coney Island of the South

Once upon a time it was Hunter Island. Then its name changed to Long Island. In the early 1900s, it earned the nickname “the Coney Island of the South.” Today, you know this 5.4-square-mile barrier island as Isle of Palms. Home to just over 4,000 souls, according to the most recent census, Isle of Palms boasts a popular beach, numerous restaurants and shops, an elegant … [Read more...]

Old School Knowledge for New School Families: A Refresher Course

Recently, the Charleston County School District sold the old Laing Middle School and its site, located here in Mount Pleasant, to corporate giant Home Depot. The building is still there as I write this article, as Home Depot has yet to tear it down, but I know it’ll soon be gone, and I’m trying not to be unhappy about it. While I never actually went inside the building, its … [Read more...]

That Long-Ago Mount Pleasant: Francis Graddick Looks Back

Looking at Mount Pleasant today, you might have a tough time believing that this ever-expanding town was once a small, quaint bedroom community where everyone knew everyone else’s name and life moved at slow and steady pace. Modern development has a way of changing all that, and, if not for a few history books and the recollections of those who grew up here, that idyllic … [Read more...]

Bringing Art to All: Perspective Gallery in Mount Pleasant

There’s a duality in the world’s view of art. On one hand, it is seen as a mere luxury afforded to those with financial means, while there are those who believe that to express oneself is a necessity and that enjoying the beauty and emotion captured in a painting or in print is an essential part of life. Under this premise, art is and should be accessible to everyone. The … [Read more...]
