Have you seen this massive anchor statue hidden on Daniel Island?   It is along a nice walking path where there is heavy foot traffic, especially during the lunch rush, however, not many people stop to take notice. Have you?   At the base of the statue, there is a plaque with a globe...
When I hear that neighbors no longer talk to one another, because of their political differences, it makes me wonder: Was it always like this?    Is it notably worse than decades ago? And is this just a passing trend, given the higher-than-usual political polarization?   One can only hope...
Let’s face it—between balancing work, kids, and everything in between, getting a healthy, home-cooked meal on the table can be stressful.   If you’re anything like me, the days are long, and the last thing you want to do is worry over dinner.    That’s why I’ve become a huge fan of...
This may be a familiar site if you enter or exit Daniel Island frequently.   Or perhaps if you have ever sat in traffic overlooking the Cooper River.   The structure I find myself sitting on during rush hour daily, carries I-526 over the river between Charleston and North Charleston...
