Know what’s fun about owning historic properties? Finding historic memorabilia tucked away in the nooks and crannies. Exhibit A: a vintage campaign button for one L.C.A.

One of our fantastic Event Managers, Sarah McSweeney, is engaged. Even more exciting is that she and her fiance chose Lowndes Grove (AKA her place of employment) for their vows and festivities.

America is tired, our military is tired, and yes, I’m tired. But yesterday’s inauguration however brought a sigh of relief and proof that these three words are [...]

What a weekend at PP! Tonight kicks off the Charleston Comedy Festival. Several of the PP staffers and I went last night to a pre-festival improv show at Theater 99, and I was laughing so hard I was crying. Oh, laughter is simply the best. The American Theater and Stars Lounge are just one of [...]

Since I wrote about this whole staycation business last time, I thought I’d offer a sneak peek of our Valentine’s Day Staycation packages before they’re officially released (see, there ARE perks to being a regular blog reader).

One of the best parts of my job, I mean besides the dollar dim sum and happy hour priced cocktails, is getting to see all of our properties through the new eyes of our clients and the folks we choose to work with. Our pal Brennan Wesley joined us this evening to snap some bio [...]
