The character of our beloved Mount Pleasant reaches further than the borders of the Old Village – but it’s of a particular concentration in this section of town, where shady, crisscrossing streets still offer an old-fashioned vibe and friendly neighbors sunning themselves on a wide porch. If you’re yearning for that sort of atmosphere, head to the 2017 Old Village Home Garden … [Read more...]
TJ Phillips Returns to Radio: Walking on Air
TJ Phillips has been part of area radio listeners’ lives for more than three decades. A beloved radio show host on WEZL from 1990 to 2016, TJ rode with us in our cars on the way to work or school each morning and later moved to the ride home with us in the afternoon.

The roughly three-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 17 from the Ravenel Bridge to the Mark Clark Expressway hosts tens of thousands of cars daily and, after a major improvement project completed in 2013, looks great doing it. But a transportation corridor – or anything, for that matter – bearing the name … [Read more...]

My first experience at our nation’s capital was as an eighth grader at Moultrie Middle School. We chartered a few buses with students, teachers and parent/ chaperones to spend a few days visiting all the historical attractions.
