Ty’s Roadside Coastal Kitchen (Mount Pleasant) – Great Food, Warm Southern Vibes and so much more

May 12, 2023 by 1 Comment
Read More

For many, the draw of Ty’s Roadside Coastal Kitchen is the enticing menu; for others, the casual and comforting restaurant environment or perhaps the inviting happy hour specials.

For us, Ty’s Roadside is the personal and inviting family style appeal that makes it a welcome addition to the Mount Pleasant, SC family of restaurants.

Let us tell a little bit more about Ty Neal and his vision:

Ty Neal, owner of Ty’s Roadside Coastal Kitchen, opened his doors at 713 Coleman Boulevard in 2020 in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic after moving to South Carolina with his wife, three kids and dog from the Washington D.C. area. It’s said that many of the businesses at this address experienced challenges unlike their neighbors, inevitably leading them to close up shop. Since their opening, Ty’s Roadside has demonstrated what it really takes to survive as a family business over the last three years.

With local charm and next-level Americana, Ty’s has a heart-warming presence within the community. Ty’s daughter, Frankie, runs head of house after school. Ty’s wife, Alaina, assists Frankie and helps out in the prep kitchen on her days off from work as a nurse. And his sister, Sarah, often comes up from Miami to help out her big brother wherever hands are needed. 

Authentic family business is hard to come by, but that’s what makes Ty’s Roadside a cornerstone of the Mount Pleasant community.

If that doesn’t convince you, take a peak at these amazing menus and happy hour specials!

We will see y’all at Ty’s!!

Every quarter, FishingBooker, the world’s largest platform connecting anglers and fishing guides, announces its Angler’s Choice Award to account for the seasonality of the fishing business. This exclusive recognition acknowledges charter operators for their exceptional customer service, reliability, and quality of fishing trips. Notably, some captains demonstrate consistent excellence across multiple seasons. 

This is the first time that special recognition is given to guides who have won the award three times in a row. 

Out of 7,242 captains who partner with FishingBooker, only 576, or 8%, were recognized for their excellence 3 times – and 7 of them run their trips from Charleston County!

What’s more, is that 11.6% of all captains in Charleston County on FishingBooker got this special annual Angler’s Choice recognition – 7 out of 60. This showcases the outstanding performance of these captains, placing them well above the national average. 

Here is a list of fishing captains in Charleston County that received the Angler’s Choice Award 3 times in a row (ranked in alphabetical order):

Vukan Simic, CEO of FishingBooker, says: “We’ve been awarding the Angler’s Choice Award since 2015. In October 2022, we started releasing the award quarterly with tougher criteria than ever before. We wanted to recognize and honor our most committed captains, and to make it easier for anglers to identify the very best guides on our platform.

Now, we have the pleasure of recognizing a very special group of guides who have earned the award every single time since the new version was introduced. We couldn’t be more excited to honor them for their hard work and dedication.”

To be eligible for the award, the charter operators had to meet the following criteria over the past 12 months:

  • 4.8+ out of 5-star review rating from 10+ verified reviews

Charleston County Parks breaks ground on renovations for Wiltown Community Center Park

May 9, 2023 by 0 Comments

[ADAMS RUN] – On Saturday, May 6, the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission (CCPRC) broke ground on renovations for the park at Wiltown Community Center. 

Wiltown Community Center is a community administered recreation area providing services for families in the surrounding Adams Run area. In an effort to renovate and expand recreational facilities in this part of Charleston County, CCPRC entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Wiltown Community Organization to care and maintain the renovated park through 2041. The conceptual site plan was created by CCPRC through a community participation process to identify and rank park features the community considered most critical.

A steering committee comprised of CCPRC representatives and Wiltown Community Center officers guided the development and approval of the final site plan. Some of the main driving design elements for the plan were the commitment to universal accessibility and durability of park features that require minimal maintenance.

Final site plan elements for the renovations of Wiltown Community Center include:

  • A colorful 3000-sq.-ft. playground with a thoughtful design to accommodate use for people of all ages, along with mix of accessible surfaces and playground features, and a sensory panel. Close to the playground will be a swinging bench and a covered picnic table.
  • A 50’ x 74’ combination basketball/pickleball court with accessible pathway to the court and the adjoining grass 70’ x 183’ multi-purpose activity field.
  • Major renovations to the outdoor shelter: existing bathrooms will be renovated to ADA standards; a third bathroom will be added off the catering kitchen; HVAC will be installed for the restroom and catering kitchen area; a new roof will be installed; wall height will be extended; and a new catering kitchen will be equipped with stainless steel work tables/countertops surfaces, stainless steel service carts, two sinks, a full-sized insulated heated holding/proofing cabinet, and a microwave and condiment cabinet station.
  • New 10’ x 10’ grill pad area near the outdoor shelter with an ADA stainless steel grill.
  • Widening and re-surfacing of the main road and adding two additional parking areas, making it safer and more accessible to the park features. The new parking areas will include accessible cement parking spaces. 
  • New accessible paths to the new and renovated park features: playground, outdoor shelter, grill pad area, basketball/pickleball court and activity field.
  • Additional landscaping using native plantings.

Wiltown Community Center is located at 5779 Parkers Ferry Road in Adams Run, SC. The center will remain open to the public during the renovations; however, the park will close for short periods only when necessary to complete certain phases of the build. The project is expected to be completed in October 2023.

For updates on the project and the reopening timeframe, please visit CharlestonCountyParks.com (direct link).

The mission of CCPRC is to improve the quality of life in Charleston County by offering a diverse system of park facilities, programs and services. The large park system features over 11,000 acres of property and includes six regional parks, three beach parks, three dog parks, two landmark fishing piers, three waterparks, a historic plantation site, a skate park, 19 boat landings, a climbing wall, a challenge course, an interpretive center, an equestrian center, cottages, a campground, a marina, as well as wedding, meeting and event facilities.
