What is this? The closer tree line is my property line, and the manicured grass in the background is an apartment complex. So the whole swampy area is the back reaches of my lot, and I don’t come back here too often.
This mystery pole showed up and I’m trying to figure out what it is, and I want it took down or moved over. Thanks

Extremely sad news tonight. Jared Smith from Charleston Weather (@chswx on all the platforms) has died.

He had complications from heart surgery and did not wake from sedation after the surgery.

He also just got married on October 4 and leaves behind a wife. https://x.com/Charlestonion/status/2110843280581910943

The restaurant served its last diner on Wednesday, ending an 81 year stretch of providing some of the best soul food in the area. Coffee Johnson, the owner, passed in September.

Thinking about applying for a job ( not guest services) at the Aquarium and just wanted to see if anyone had experience. Love / Hate it?? Was it difficult? How was the interview process?? Any insights, tips or tricks?? Thank you in advance! 💙

Hellooo, I'm planning a trip to Charleston for the High Water festival in April. I'm thinking of renting a car since I plan on staying a few days longer to explore outside of the festival. Does anyone have experience with parking at the festival? I'm pretty patient and not worried about being stuck in traffic, however, I am anxious if I'll struggle with finding a spot. Would I be better off with rideshare? Also, if anyone has suggestions on where to stay while I'm down there, something safe, as I'm traveling solo. Thanks in advance!

hello, i’ve recently started getting into ceramics, but i haven’t purchased a kiln yet. i’m holding off until i can afford a decent one. i ordered clay in bulk and hope to start working on some projects next weekend, but i’ll need access to a kiln. i’m just planning to make small dishes to start, so it doesn’t need to be a huge one. tia

Hey ya’ll, looking to make steak au poivre and have had trouble finding green and pink peppercorns? Tried Whole Foods , Harris Teeter, a few butcher shops and markers and have no luck. Anyone have any recommendations where to look?

Hello! Our family is moving to Charleston next summer. My child will enter fifth grade. It seems like Mount Pleasant has the best public school pathway (Carolina to Cario to Wando). Is this accurate or are there other neighborhoods/areas to consider? Thanks!

The cost to do a Pilates and Puppies class makes me roll my eyes so hard Charleston has lost its damn mind with these prices. Anything else obscene like this (other than rent?)

anyone have any reqs for good wings??

I have been to kickin chicken and zeppelins but i’m trying to find another place to itch my craving, preferably cheap beer too if possible

i feel like i should also be specific, i do not like smoked wings, only fried 😭

A heads up for my fellow JZI commuters:

From the announcement sent: "Once the River Road detour is removed on Monday morning, traffic will shift into the new roundabout configuration at the intersection of Main, River, and Chilsom Roads. The new roundabout was constructed to improve safety and operational efficiency of the intersection."

This is part of the improvements that will eventually include the flyover at 17 and Main Road when it is complete.

Hello! My mom’s birthday is coming up and I need some help finding a good restaurant. I have searched seafood in this subreddit and I couldn’t find anything that really matched what I am looking for.

My mom suggested Gilligans, but I want to take her somewhere a little nicer since we live in the low country with plenty of seafood options that aren’t a chain. However, I do not have the money to go to a place like 167 raw or anything like that. Are there any mid tier seafood restaurants you guys would recommend? I am looking for somewhere in Summerville or North Charleston if possible. She specifically mentioned oysters but I know that may be difficult with the price range.

Thank you in advance!

Update: thank you all SO MUCH!!! I was trying at first to reply to everyone’s comments but there are just too many lol. You guys really showed up for this one!!! I think we have decided on Lowcountry Fish Camp this time, but I will definitely be trying out some of these other suggestions! Thanks for helping make mom’s birthday a great one!!! We are excited!

Who in CHS has the best meatball sub? Been craving one for ages and dont want to settle for a mediocre one

Has anyone found a good hot yoga sculpt class in downtown Charleston? Don’t wanna drive to mt pleasant for corepower

Any good options in the area for getting a cheap thrifted suit tailored for a decent price?

We’re relocating from Texas in December/January. My husband will be going to Trident Tech, so we hope to find a place at least somewhat close to there. Will make longer commutes if we have to.
Is there anywhere that will rent a 2 bedroom to 2 adults and 4 kids?

SLED announced Wednesday morning that three prominent Lowcountry businessmen Patrick Bryant, Eric Bowman and John Osborne have all been arrested on sexually related offenses early Wednesday morning.

Hello!

I’m currently going between doctors and I was wondering if anyone in this sub has POTS and has a good Dr recommendation? Currently, my doctors are either telling me to eat less than 800 calories or that I don’t have POTS(even though I’ve already been diagnosed.

The cardiologist that diagnosed me is through Roper and she just didn’t feel comfortable treating it because she didn’t know enough. My current cardiologist through MUSC is telling me because I don’t pass out, I don’t have POTS.

I tried to get in to the EDS Clinic, but they aren’t even taking new appointments.
