The Holy City’s mix of higher education, coastal culture, restaurants and entertainment helped it stand out in a national study examining what makes a city appealing to college students.

Charleston is known for its historic architecture, celebrated food scene and coastal lifestyle. Now, the city has another distinction to add to its résumé: national recognition as one of America’s leading college destinations.

According to a recent study by personal finance website WalletHub, Charleston was the only South Carolina city included among the nation’s best college towns and cities. The ranking evaluates more than just what happens on campus, examining the affordability, social environment and economic opportunities students can expect in the communities where they pursue their degrees.

The recognition highlights a key part of Charleston’s identity: it is not simply a destination for tourists and retirees, but also a place where thousands of students build their academic, professional and social lives.

Charleston ranks No. 10 nationally

In WalletHub’s 2026 ranking, Charleston placed 10th overall among more than 400 U.S. college towns and cities. The city also ranked second among midsize college cities, according to coverage of the study published by The State on October 21.

The study examined 31 indicators across three major categories: wallet friendliness, social environment, and academic and economic opportunities. Rather than evaluating universities alone, WalletHub considered how the surrounding city contributes to the student experience.

Those measurements included housing costs, cost of living, crime rates, higher education quality, employment prospects, nightlife, restaurants, recreation and the availability of part-time jobs. Even everyday expenses, such as the cost of pizza, fitness-club memberships and bowling, factored into the analysis.

The College of Charleston’s downtown advantage

At the center of Charleston’s college-town identity is the College of Charleston. Founded in 1770, the institution is one of the oldest colleges in the United States and places students within walking distance of much of downtown Charleston’s historic district.

The campus setting offers a distinctive blend of historic buildings, established neighborhoods, restaurants, independent shops, cultural attractions and waterfront spaces. For students, that means college life can extend well beyond classrooms and residence halls.

The surrounding city also provides access to the arts, live music, festivals, outdoor recreation and the region’s beaches. Those amenities contribute to the broader social environment that WalletHub considers in its rankings.

Charleston’s higher education community extends beyond the College of Charleston, with institutions such as The Citadel and the Medical University of South Carolina contributing to the city’s academic and professional landscape.

How affordability factors into the rankings

A high overall placement does not necessarily mean a city is inexpensive for students.

WalletHub’s methodology gives significant weight to academic and economic opportunities while also measuring affordability and social conditions. Its analysis considers housing expenses, education costs, student debt, part-time employment, graduate earnings and local job growth.

For Charleston, the distinction is particularly relevant. The city’s appeal comes with the practical challenge of managing living expenses in a popular coastal destination. Students weighing their options still need to compare tuition, housing, transportation and everyday costs against their budgets.

The ranking is best understood as a broad assessment of the opportunities and experiences available in a city, rather than a guarantee that college life there will be affordable for everyone.

Why the recognition matters for Charleston

The ranking reinforces Charleston’s standing as more than a historic tourist destination. Its universities, cultural attractions, restaurants, entertainment options and coastal setting make it a place where education intersects with the wider community.

A strong college-town reputation can also matter beyond enrollment. Students who establish professional and personal connections during their college years may choose to remain in the region after graduation, contributing to its workforce, businesses and cultural life.

Charleston’s placement is especially notable because it was the only South Carolina city featured in the list highlighted by the recent report. That gives the Holy City a distinction in a national comparison spanning hundreds of communities.

For prospective students and their families, the takeaway is straightforward: choosing a college means choosing a community, too. In Charleston, the experience extends from the historic campus into a city shaped by centuries of history, a diverse cultural scene and an evolving modern economy.

From cozy wine bars to neighborhood favorites, these six downtown Charleston destinations prove that a good glass of wine and something delicious to share don’t have to come with a fine-dining price tag.

There is something special about slowing down in Charleston. Maybe it’s a glass of wine after a long day exploring the historic district, a small plate shared with someone special, or a dessert that turns an ordinary evening into a memorable one.

The good news? You don’t need to book an expensive dinner or spend a small fortune to enjoy the city’s food and drink scene. Downtown Charleston has plenty of places where you can settle in for a glass of wine, split an appetizer or indulge in something sweet without committing to a full dinner.

Whether you’re planning a casual date night, catching up with a friend or simply looking for an affordable way to enjoy the Holy City’s hospitality, here are six spots worth considering.

1. Bin 152: A Wine Lover’s Hideaway

Location: 152 King Street

For those who believe wine deserves center stage, Bin 152 is a natural starting point. This intimate wine bar has long been associated with a relaxed, European-inspired approach to drinking and dining.

The appeal is simple: choose a glass of wine, settle into the cozy atmosphere and pair your pour with a cheese board or another small bite. It’s the kind of place where conversation comes easily and there’s no pressure to turn a quick stop into a three-course meal.

The budget-friendly approach: Share a cheese or charcuterie board and order individual glasses rather than a full bottle. It’s an especially appealing option for couples who want a date-night atmosphere without the expense of a formal dinner.

2. The Gin Joint: Small Plates With Big Personality

Location: 182 East Bay Street

Known for its inventive cocktails and intimate atmosphere, The Gin Joint is another downtown option for people who enjoy a lively evening built around drinks and small plates.

Although cocktails are a major draw, the food menu makes it worth considering for a shared bite before dinner or a late-evening stop. Its intimate setting is well suited to couples and friends who want something a little different from a traditional restaurant experience.

The budget-friendly approach: Check the current menu for smaller dishes that can be shared, and keep the visit to one drink and one bite per person. Prices can add up quickly if you get carried away with specialty cocktails, so a little restraint helps.

3. Carmella’s Café and Dessert Bar: Save Room for Something Sweet

Location: 198 East Bay Street

Sometimes the best evening out begins after dinner. Carmella’s is a downtown favorite to consider when your sweet tooth takes over and you’d rather share dessert than order another entrée.

With its dessert-bar atmosphere, the shop is suited to an after-dinner treat, a casual date or an afternoon indulgence. Depending on the current selection, you may find cakes, pastries and other sweets that are perfect for sharing.

The budget-friendly approach: Split one substantial dessert and enjoy the experience together. If you’re meeting someone after dinner elsewhere, Carmella’s can make an appealing second stop without the cost of another full meal.

4. Bodega: Casual Bites in a Relaxed Setting

Location: 23 Ann Street

Not every evening out needs white tablecloths and hushed conversation. Bodega offers a more casual downtown setting for people who want to enjoy food and drinks without making a production of it.

Its approachable atmosphere makes it worth considering for a low-key meet-up, a casual date or a stop while exploring the Upper King Street area. Look to the current menu for smaller bites or shareable options that complement a glass of wine.

The budget-friendly approach: Visit with the intention of sharing a starter rather than ordering a full meal. The relaxed setting is part of the appeal, especially when you’re looking to enjoy downtown without spending the evening’s entire budget in one place.

5. Wine & Company: A Neighborhood Feel for Wine Enthusiasts

Location: 441 Meeting Street

A little farther up Meeting Street, Wine & Company offers a welcoming alternative to the more formal wine-bar experience. Part wine shop and part gathering place, it’s designed for people who enjoy discovering wines without feeling they need a sommelier’s vocabulary to order a glass.

Cheese and charcuterie are natural companions to the wine list, making this a good choice for two people who would rather graze and talk than sit down for a lengthy dinner. The shop-and-bar format also makes it an appealing stop for anyone interested in discovering a bottle to take home. 

The budget-friendly approach: Ask about wines by the glass and choose a shared cheese board or snack plate. If you’re flexible about when you visit, look into the shop’s advertised tasting events, which can offer a more affordable way to sample different wines.

6. Kaminsky’s Dessert Cafe: A Sweet Ending to a Charleston Evening

Location: 78 North Market Street

For a final stop that puts dessert first, Kaminsky’s Dessert Cafe deserves a place on your list. Located near the historic City Market, this longtime downtown destination is built around a tempting selection of sweets, specialty coffees and dessert-inspired drinks.

Whether you’re craving a slice of cake, a decadent pie or something chocolatey, it’s an inviting spot to extend an evening without ordering another full meal. The atmosphere works equally well for a date night, a catch-up with friends or a spontaneous dessert stop after exploring the historic district. 

The budget-friendly approach: Share a slice of cake or pie and enjoy the experience together. If you’re visiting after dinner, splitting one dessert can be every bit as satisfying as ordering separate plates.

From a multibillion-dollar flood protection plan to airport access, roadway improvements and wastewater upgrades, the Lowcountry is investing in infrastructure to keep pace with growth. Here’s where the major projects stand.

Charleston’s infrastructure landscape is changing, with public agencies advancing projects designed to reduce flooding, improve traffic flow, modernize wastewater treatment and create safer connections between communities.

The projects vary widely in scale and schedule. Some are approaching completion, others remain in design or permitting, and several of the region’s largest transportation investments will take years to deliver.

Here is a look at six significant projects, their estimated costs, funding sources and current status.

1. The Battery Extension: A multibillion-dollar defense against flooding

Estimated cost: $1.3 billion originally authorized for the full project; approximately $613.2 million for the initial segments under 2026 estimates.

Funding: 65% federal funding through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and 35% local funding, subject to the project’s cost-sharing arrangements.

Status: Engineering and design are underway.

One of Charleston’s most consequential infrastructure projects aims to protect the historic peninsula from storm surge and coastal flooding. The Battery Extension would expand the city’s existing waterfront defenses, combining flood barriers with public spaces and pedestrian promenades.

In September, the Army Corps awarded more than $6.2 million in engineering and design contracts covering two sections, including Adger’s Wharf and the Lockwood Drive waterfront. These contracts represent early design work, not the cost of constructing the entire system.

The city’s 2026 estimates put the initial segments at approximately $613.2 million. That estimate excludes several potential expenses, including aesthetic enhancements, utility relocation and certain environmental mitigation costs.

The project remains in its pre-construction engineering and design phase. Its ultimate price and schedule will depend on design decisions, funding and construction sequencing.

2. Airport Connector Road: A new route to Charleston International Airport

Estimated funding: $205 million in Charleston County’s FY2025 capital improvement plan.

Funding: Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax program.

Status: Right-of-way acquisition and permitting; construction has not yet begun.

The Airport Connector Road project is intended to create more direct access to Charleston International Airport and improve connections between Dorchester Road, Montague Avenue and I-526.

The goal is to separate airport traffic from other commuter movements in an area experiencing continued residential, commercial and employment growth.

In June 2026, county officials said land acquisition was approximately 50% complete. The project must also complete the necessary permitting before moving into construction.

The federal permitting dashboard lists environmental review and permitting as ongoing, with an estimated completion date of June 30, 2027. That is a permitting milestone, not a guaranteed opening date for the road.

The county’s FY2025 capital plan listed $205 million in funding and an expected completion year of 2027. Given the later permitting timeline, residents should watch for updated construction and completion schedules.

3. Main Road Corridor: A long-term investment in Johns Island and West Ashley

Estimated funding: $407 million for the broader Main Road Corridor program in the county’s FY2025 capital plan.

Funding: Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax program.

Status: Construction and phased improvements are progressing, with additional work continuing over multiple years.

Main Road is a critical route for residents traveling through Johns Island and West Ashley. The county’s corridor program includes intersection improvements, roadway widening and connections intended to accommodate growth and improve traffic movement.

Segment A includes improvements at the U.S. 17 and Main Road intersection and along Main Road between Bees Ferry Road and River Road. Other segments address additional portions of the corridor.

The county’s published capital plan listed an expected 2029 completion for Segment A, while Segment C was listed for 2027. Individual schedules may change as engineering, construction and right-of-way requirements evolve.

The project is supported through the county’s transportation sales tax program, with funding allocated across a broader portfolio of road investments.

4. Ashley River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge: Connecting downtown and West Ashley

Additional funding approved in 2026: $437,500.

Total project cost: A current, verified total was not established in the available updates.

Funding: A federal BUILD grant, alongside local funding and other project allocations.

Status: Construction is underway; opening is targeted for fall 2027.

The Ashley River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge is designed to provide a safer way to cross the river between downtown Charleston and West Ashley without relying on existing bridges that prohibit bicycle and pedestrian travel.

The project will connect the West Ashley Greenway with the peninsula’s pedestrian network. Construction began in January 2025.

A July 2026 update from Charleston Moves reported that construction was approximately two-thirds complete and the movable span was being installed. The eastern landing design, including connections to the Medical District and Brittlebank Park, remained an important issue for city officials.

In February, Charleston City Council approved an additional $437,500 for design work and a contract adjustment associated with unexpected site conditions.

The bridge represents a different kind of infrastructure investment: rather than adding vehicle capacity, it creates a dedicated connection for people walking and cycling.

Sources: Charleston Moves⁠ | City of Charleston Projects⁠

5. Plum Island Wastewater Treatment Plant: $115 million in upgrades

Reported investment: $115 million in plant improvements.

Funding: Charleston Water System capital improvement funding; the specific funding breakdown for these improvements was not established in the available report.

Status: Multiple upgrades are at different stages of operation and implementation.

Charleston’s growth requires investments below ground as well as on its roads. Charleston Water System is undertaking $115 million in improvements at the Plum Island Wastewater Treatment Plant to support operations, capacity and long-term reliability.

The upgrades include a new primary clarifier, a solids-dewatering process and a disinfection facility. The clarifier was already online by March 2026, while the solids building was expected to become operational during summer 2026.

The improvements are intended to help the plant manage wastewater volumes and maintain treatment performance as the region grows.

Charleston Water System’s broader 2024–2027 capital improvement program also includes projects to replace aging infrastructure, expand service capacity and address regulatory requirements.

6. Palmetto Commerce Interchange: A major project completed ahead of schedule

Reported project cost: Approximately $90 million in projected funding; the county reported a construction cost of $60.4 million.

Funding: Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax program.

Status: Substantially complete and opened in November 2025; remaining landscaping work was scheduled for 2026.

The Palmetto Commerce Interchange was designed to improve access between I-26, U.S. 78 and the growing Palmetto Commerce Parkway area in North Charleston.

The project opened in November 2025, ahead of its original February 2026 completion target. County leaders said it was completed under budget, leaving funding available for other transportation priorities.

The new interchange is intended to improve traffic flow, provide additional access options and support the area’s expanding employment and commercial development.

Although the main construction project is complete, associated landscaping and tree replacement work continued into 2026.

Sources: Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax Program⁠ | Live 5 News⁠

What comes next?

Charleston County is also developing its next Transportation Sales Tax program, with a proposed long-term investment framework covering roadways, public transit, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and green space.

In February 2026, county officials discussed a draft program projected to generate approximately $4.25 billion over 25 years. The proposal has since gone through additional review and public outreach. Proposed allocations and project lists should not be confused with money already spent or construction contracts already awarded.

For residents, the takeaway is that Charleston’s infrastructure needs extend well beyond any single road project. Flood protection, wastewater treatment, airport access and safe transportation connections are all part of the region’s response to growth and environmental challenges.

The coming years will test whether these investments can keep pace with development while protecting the Lowcountry’s historic communities, neighborhoods and quality of life.

Charleston Daily will continue tracking project costs, funding decisions, construction milestones and schedule changes as these major investments move forward.

At the corner of St. Philip and Cannon streets, in Charleston’s revitalized Cannonborough neighborhood, a distinctive blend of culinary creativity, local character and neighborhood charm comes together. With Sorghum & Salt, Annie Mae’s Bakeshop and Hermosa Jewelry adding their own personalities to the surrounding streetscape, this corner has become a reflection of the independent spirit that continues to shape Charleston’s evolving food and lifestyle scene.

But for those seeking a dining experience that goes beyond what arrives on the plate, Sorghum & Salt deserves a closer look.

At the center of it all is owner Tres Jackson, immersed in the final preparations and details that define the restaurant’s identity. Behind the scenes, a familiar head of curls  (Tres son) moves through the kitchen, while a staff that understands the importance of personal connection ensures that hospitality is as much a part of the experience as the food itself.

The result is a memorable blend of approachable fine dining, thoughtful culinary experimentation and genuine warmth — the kind of experience that stays with you long after the last bite.

Hospitality and a commitment to exceptional customer experiences are hardly new to Charleston. They are woven into the fabric of the city. Yet Sorghum & Salt brings something distinctive to the table.

I had known the restaurant’s reputation since 2018: a place recognized for exceptional ingredients, creative freedom and artistic presentation. Those expectations were met, but the story behind the food reveals something more meaningful.

For Jackson, cooking is rooted in family. Growing up in a household where food was an extension of family life helped establish an appreciation for the connections created around a table. Fourteen years operating a restaurant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, further shaped his understanding of the business. Travels through Iceland, Belgium and Amsterdam offered opportunities to observe different culinary traditions, flavor combinations and approaches to presentation.

Chef Tres has a distinctive ability to transform familiar vegetables into something unexpected, using techniques such as roasting, dehydrating, fermenting and pickling to develop layers of flavor and texture. His rainbow carrots exemplify this approach. After roasting, the carrots are dehydrated for four to six hours the following day to concentrate their flavor, then flashed to create a leathery exterior. They are served with miso emulsion, pickled carrots and lavender, bringing together contrasting textures and complementary flavors. The roasted beets showcase that same spirit of creativity, featuring house-made vegetable bottarga crafted by smoking, baking and drying vegetable scraps over several weeks. Paired with cumin caramel, capers and rosemary, the dish transforms a familiar root vegetable into a complex and memorable culinary experience.

These experiences and techniques have become part of the foundation for Sorghum & Salt — a restaurant that reflects a lifetime of learning while embracing the freedom to do things a little differently.

Choose Your Dining Experience

Located at 186 St. Philip Street, the restaurant’s new space offers three distinct ways to experience the evening: the dining room, the bar and seating overlooking the open kitchen.

Although the areas share one open, welcoming environment, each offers its own atmosphere.

For those who appreciate the artistry behind a meal, the open kitchen is the place to be. Watching ingredients move from the pan to the plate offers a front-row seat to the precision, timing and creativity that bring each dish to life.

If your ideal evening begins with a thoughtfully prepared cocktail and a little conversation, the bar provides a natural gathering place.

And for a quieter, more intimate dinner, the dining area offers a comfortable setting. If available, a window seat is worth requesting. In this part of Charleston, people-watching is an experience all its own, providing a glimpse into the neighborhood’s lively mix of residents, visitors and local businesses.

Food and Presentation: A Beautiful Marriage

The first question is straightforward: Do we recommend Sorghum & Salt, and who should make a reservation?

Absolutely.

If you appreciate vegetables treated as culinary stars, fresh ingredients, inventive sauces and the science behind balancing flavors, this restaurant belongs high on your Charleston dining list. The menu brings together fruits, vegetables, proteins and spices with remarkable precision, creating dishes that are visually engaging without sacrificing flavor.

Seafood and meat preparations lean toward a more delicate approach, allowing the ingredients and accompanying flavors to share the spotlight. Many plates are ideal for sharing, making it easy to explore several different directions throughout the meal.

The second question is a little more complicated: What should you order? (Menus)

Personal taste always plays a role, but a few dishes made a particularly strong impression.

The Gem Lettuce — featuring maple tahini, pistachios, breadcrumbs and pink peppercorns — is an excellent place to begin. Refreshing and layered with flavor, it offers a lively combination of textures and a welcome introduction to the kitchen’s approach to balancing ingredients.

For those who prefer a deeper, more savory vegetable dish, the Roasted Beets, accompanied by cumin caramel, capers, rosemary and vegetable botarga, offer another compelling option. The combination brings earthiness, sweetness and savory complexity together in a way that gives a familiar ingredient a new dimension.

Two dishes, however, stood out as favorites: the Seared Yellowfin Tuna, served with cashew tahini, plums and porcini mushroom powder, and the Acorn Squash, paired with pistachio butter, peppers, pork katsuobushi and seabean agave.

Both delivered an experience that went well beyond simply enjoying a good meal. Each bite revealed a different interplay of flavors, textures and unexpected combinations. The tuna balanced its delicate character with the richness of cashew tahini and the fruit-forward notes of plum, while the acorn squash offered a deeper, more layered experience.

These are dishes worth slowing down for — and sharing. Both earned a place on our list of Lowcountry favorites.

A Pasta Worth Saving Room For

Pasta lovers have another reason to visit. Sorghum & Salt makes its pastas from scratch daily, and the attention to texture and preparation is evident.

If there is one dish to prioritize, it is the Carrot Bolognese, featuring house-made rigatoni, labneh, smoked breadcrumbs and Parmesan.

The pasta’s delicate texture provides the foundation, while the smoked breadcrumbs add an unexpected dimension. The accompanying sauce brings everything together, creating a satisfying, deeply flavorful dish that feels both comforting and distinctive.

It is the kind of plate that reminds you how much creativity can emerge from familiar ingredients when technique and imagination work together.

Save Room for Dessert

We cannot leave without indulging your sweet tooth. If you are looking for a dessert that delivers a genuine wow factor, consider the Beets Crémeux, featuring blackberries, cocoa nibs and dulce de leche.

Unexpected, inventive and beautifully composed, this is not your typical dessert. The combination brings together contrasting flavors and textures in a way that challenges expectations while delivering a memorable finish. It is the kind of dish that stays with you long after you leave the table — and one you are unlikely to find replicated elsewhere.

More Than a Meal

Charleston, South Carolina, continues to strengthen its reputation as a culinary destination, with an ever-growing selection of restaurants offering distinctive experiences. But when we evaluate a dining experience, we look beyond the menu. Hospitality, quality, culture, selection, education and service all contribute to the larger picture. The most memorable restaurants are those that bring these elements together to create a complete experience.

Sorghum & Salt is one of those places.

From Jackson’s culinary vision and the kitchen’s thoughtful creativity to the welcoming staff and dishes that invite exploration, the restaurant delivers an experience that engages more than the palate. It encourages curiosity, sparks conversation and reminds us that dining can be as much about discovery as it is about nourishment.

Consider Sorghum & Salt for your next Charleston restaurant adventure. Come with an open mind, share a few plates, save room for dessert and prepare to be surprised.

It really is an adventure for the senses.

Come for the food. Stay for the experience. And leave with a few new favorite dishes — along with a reminder of why Charleston’s independent restaurant community continues to give this city its unmistakable flavor.

From learning to knit at six years old to creating original artwork, designing wallpaper and bringing color to Charleston’s streets, Brooke Callery has spent a lifetime turning creativity into something tangible.

In a city celebrated for its historic architecture, colorful streets and unmistakable character, local artists play an essential role in keeping Charleston’s creative spirit alive. Artist and designer Brooke Callery is one of those creatives, bringing together the charm of the Lowcountry and the grit of Massachusetts in a body of work that reflects both her artistic roots and her entrepreneurial spirit.

For Brooke, creativity began early. She learned to knit at just six years old and started taking sewing lessons at eight. Long before establishing herself as an artist and designer, she was already developing the hands-on skills, curiosity and imagination that would become the foundation of her career.

Today, her work extends across multiple creative disciplines, from original artwork to wallpaper and design. Her story is a reminder that artistic talent can grow into an entire creative enterprise when passion is paired with persistence.

An Artistic Journey That Reaches Beyond Charleston

Brooke’s artistic accomplishments include having her work displayed at a state Capitol building. In a particularly remarkable milestone, that same piece was later used as the cover of a college textbook in China, giving her artwork an international connection that reaches far beyond the city she calls home.

Her educational background also helped shape her creative approach. Brooke studied studio art and arts management at the College of Charleston before pursuing an internship in textile design. That experience helped bridge her fine-art background with digital art, allowing her to combine traditional artistic sensibilities with contemporary techniques.

The result is a creative practice that can move between different formats and settings while maintaining a distinctive visual perspective.

Brooke has also brought her talents directly into Charleston’s streets through hand-painted holiday window displays for local businesses. These installations transform ordinary storefront windows into seasonal works of art, adding color, personality and a sense of celebration to the downtown shopping experience. Her work has been featured on local television and in The Post and Courier, further showcasing the connection between her creativity and the community around her.

From Original Art to Gable Ridge Wallpaper

Beyond Brooke Callery Art, Brooke has developed her own wallpaper brand, Gable Ridge, expanding her creative vision into interior design.

Wallpaper offers artists a unique opportunity to bring their designs into the spaces where people live, gather and create memories. It turns walls into visual experiences, making patterns, colors and artistic details part of everyday life.

For Brooke, this additional venture reflects the entrepreneurial side of her creativity. Rather than limiting herself to a single medium, she has built a broader artistic identity that allows her work to reach people in different ways.

Her inspiration comes from two places with distinct personalities: the charm of Charleston and the grit of Massachusetts. That combination offers an intriguing creative foundation, blending the warmth, architectural beauty and historic character of the South with the resilience and straightforward spirit associated with New England.

It is a balance that feels particularly at home in Charleston, where tradition and individuality have always found ways to coexist.

Brooke’s presence reflects what makes this kind of creative community special: artists are not simply selling products; they are sharing their perspectives, skills and personal stories.

From childhood knitting and sewing lessons to internationally featured artwork, original designs and her own wallpaper brand, Brooke Callery’s journey illustrates how a lifelong love of making can evolve into a multifaceted creative career.

CITY MODERNIZES PENINSULA PARKING WITH TRANSITION TO PARKMOBILE

CHARLESTON, S.C. — The City of Charleston is modernizing on-street parking on the peninsula, moving to ParkMobile over the next several weeks and gradually phasing out physical parking meters over the next several months, with significant completion expected by 2nd quarter of 2027. The change brings peninsula parking onto a single platform, creating a streamlined, user-friendly experience for drivers.

The move is one of the first concrete steps under the City’s new tourism management plan, which puts residents first and takes a more active approach to managing the pressures that come with a busy, visited city. Parking is one of those everyday pressures, and a modern system helps the peninsula work better for the people who live and work there.

What does this mean for drivers?

• Pay by app, online, or phone. New ParkMobile signs will be going up in the coming weeks explaining how to pay through the ParkMobile app, online or by phone. The call-in option requires no smartphone or app, so drivers without smartphones can still pay easily.
• Find your zone and start your session. Parking areas on the peninsula are divided into ParkMobile zones, each with its own number posted on nearby signs and shown in the app. After parking, enter your zone number, choose how long you’ll stay, add your license plate and payment method, and tap “Start.” Your session is linked to your license plate, so there’s no receipt to display on your dashboard.
• Get reminders and add time from anywhere. Drivers receive a reminder before their session ends and can extend it from their phone, up to the posted time limit, without returning to their vehicle.
• Meters keep working until they’re removed. Meter removal will begin on the Eastern side of the peninsula. Remaining meters across the peninsula will continue to accept payment until they are taken out of service.

Moving away from aging meter equipment also helps posted time limits work as intended. Spaces will turn over the way they’re meant to instead of being occupied for hours or days, giving more drivers a better chance of finding a spot near where they’re headed. On a peninsula that draws residents, workers and visitors to the same blocks every day, reliable turnover is one of the simplest ways to keep downtown accessible to the people who call it home.

“We heard residents loud and clear: parking on the peninsula needs to work better,” said Mayor William Cogswell. “Moving to one modern, streamlined system makes parking simple and consistent, and helps keep spaces turning over for the people who live, work, eat and shop downtown.”

Drivers are encouraged to download the ParkMobile app ahead of the transition. Download it here.

Drivers who already have the app can use their existing account.

11-time WTA champion Pegula is the first player announced for the 2027 field

CHARLESTON, S.C. – 2025 and 2026 Charleston champion and World No. 4 Jessica Pegula will return to defend her title at the Credit One Charleston Open, North America’s largest women’s-only professional tennis tournament, taking place March 27 – April 4, 2027. Pegula is looking to become the first tournament champion to win three titles in a row since Chris Evert won the event five times in a row from 1974-1978. 

Pegula enters the 2027 Charleston Open after a season that featured some of the deepest tournament runs of her career. She won titles in Dubai, her fourth WTA 1000 crown, and in Charleston, where she beat Yuliia Starodubtseva 6-2, 6-2 to become the first player to defend the title there since Serena Williams in 2013. She also reached the semifinals at the Australian Open, the final in Berlin after a win over World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. She followed her grass season with back-to-back finals in Washington D.C. and Cincinnati and a third straight semifinal at the US Open in September. With 50+ tour-level wins this season, she extended her run to four straight year-end Top 10 finishes and five straight WTA Finals qualifications. 

Off the court, Pegula has become a prominent leader in shaping the future of the sport. She is currently the chair of the Tour Architecture Council and serves on the WTA Player Council and the Grand Slam Player Advisory Council. 

“We are incredibly proud to welcome Jessie Pegula to Charleston as our back-to-back champion,” said Bob Moran, President of Beemok Sports & Entertainment. “Jess is playing the best tennis of her career, and what makes us even prouder is the impact she’s having on the game. As a member of the tournament council, she is helping drive meaningful change for women’s tennis. We look forward to watching her go for the three-peat on Daniel Island.”

Pegula will compete in the Charleston main draw for the ninth time. She holds a 21–6 win-loss record and was a two-time semifinalist in 2023 and 2024 before capturing the titles in 2025 and 2026.

“Charleston just feels like home to me. Winning the Credit One Charleston Open back-to-back was such a great feeling, so of course now I want to go for the three-peat in 2027. I love playing in the Lowcountry and the crowds there bring so much energy. I always seem to end up in some big matches in Charleston and I can’t wait to be back to play in front of the fans again.”

Pegula has played a number of three-set matches in Charleston in recent years, including saving four match points against Victoria Azarenka in the 2024 quarterfinals, rallying from a set and a break down to defeat Danielle Collins in the 2025 quarterfinals and winning four straight three-setters on the way to the 2026 final.

The nine-day Credit One Charleston Open showcases a singles draw of 48 players, a qualifying draw of 24 players, and a doubles draw of 16 players. The event traditionally hosts more than 90,000 attendees on Daniel Island. 

As the kickoff event of the clay season, the Credit One Charleston Open is held annually at Credit One Stadium and was named the WTA 500 Tournament of the Year from 2022-2025. The Credit One Charleston Open has offered equal prize money since 2026, when it became the first standalone WTA 500 tournament to voluntarily match comparable ATP 500 events. The change followed Credit One Bank’s April 2025 announcement extending its title partnership through 2031, a move that reflected the bank’s belief that women athletes deserve equal investment and opportunity and further cemented Charleston’s role as a leader on the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz.

The Credit One Charleston Open has been a pioneer in women’s professional sports since 1973, paving the way for female tennis players to receive equal recognition, respect and compensation in the sport. The tournament has a long history of breaking new ground in tennis, having been the first women’s tennis event to offer $100,000 in prize money in 1973 and the first to be broadcast live on network television. The inaugural champion, Rosie Casals, received a check for $30,000, which was the largest prize money payout awarded to a woman that year. Originally held on Hilton Head Island, the event relocated to Charleston in 2001 and is now played at the LTP Daniel Island tennis center, home to Credit One Stadium.
