Received a comment on the blog that asked us to share some of our Charleston favorites and local photos, which we are [...]

Our friends and neighbors at Garden & Gun threw a fantastic launch party tonight for the new Billy Reid store at 150 King Street. Per Billy’s website, he is a “steady hearted Southener,” which I think is a brilliant description and wish I had thought of it. Reid creates beautifully stylish and wearable clothing for [...]

That peek of light you see above (come into the light, Carol Ann!) is our fine construction team breaking through the wall at 442 King Street (Fish) into 440 King Street (soon to be Fish too). That’s right, we are through! No turning back now, campers. It’s full tilt boogie from here on out. [...]

Sometimes a blast from the past serves as great inspiration…or at least a good laugh. Today, Heather, writer of one of my favorite blogs, received a package of Land of the Lost t-shirts. If you are familiar with Land of the Lost, you must know that I spent more than the recommended daily allowance [...]

So, had a great conversation with Managing Partner Randall Goldman this afternoon about his trip to Dubrovnik. (Photos to come next week.) You know when you have one of those conversations that has so much in it that it keeps resonating well after it’s over? This was one of those conversations. Which is not surprising [...]

Which came first? The moo or the shu?

Know what’s fun about marketing? Sparking peoples’ curiosity. I have to say, it’s one of my favorite things. Just yesterday morning, my partner in crime painted a message on the butcher paper that is now covering the windows of Fish. The message, you ask? Do you moo shu? Coming this September. The message hadn’t been up even [...]

American Theater…I couldn’t help but wonder…

Standing in the vast, empty quiet space of the nearly gutted theater this afternoon, I could help but wonder what kind of celebrations will take place here. This morning at 8 am, sledgehammers cracked against wood; workmen hollered across the vast space to each other; power saws churned out sawdust. The whole space was vibrating [...]
