JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C –Joint Base Charleston celebrated U.S. military aviation past and present with the Charleston Airshow on April 20-21.
Opening to a large crowd of over 65,000 attendees, the “Heroes of Flight” themed event celebrated aviation heroes with thrilling displays. From the United States Air Force demonstration “Thunderbirds” to the U.S. Air Force Academy parachute team Wings of Blue, spectators enjoyed exciting performances and interacted with military personnel.
A powerful collection of modern and historic military aircraft and equipment populated the flight line, showcasing aerial performances by the C-17 Globemaster III, the F-35B Lightning, and historical aircraft such as the P-51 Mustang and North American SNJ Texan.
The airshow also hosted a STEM exhibit for 7,000 local students with engaging activities that aimed to ignite a passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
“It was a memory of a lifetime for a lot of people,” said Col. Samuel Todd, 437th Airlift Wing commander. “From the incentive flights all the way to the STEM exhibit, the atmosphere was terrific all weekend long.”
From people traveling out of state, to the local Charleston populous and civic leaders, the airshow was a way for Joint Base Charleston to reciprocate the support given by the local community.
“The Charleston and metropolitan region supports the military community so much,” said Col. Michael Freeman, 628th Air Base Wing and Joint Base Charleston commander. The air show was an opportunity for us to show some of that love back and show them what they are supporting.”
New studio brings full schedule of yoga classes to North Charleston’s vibrant Park Circle neighborhood
North Charleston, SC, April 24, 2024 – Park Circle Yoga will officially open its doors on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, in the heart of North Charleston’s Park Circle neighborhood. The studio’s opening at Marquis Station (1021 E. Montague Ave #103 North) is a welcome addition to the burgeoning Park Circle neighborhood that has been without a yoga studio for several years.
The studio will provide a truly unique experience as the space itself is located within a historic Quonset Hut, dating back to 1947. In 2017, Iola Modern, Cityolve and Middleton Group worked together to reimagine the rusted, old hut into a sleek modern studio space. The space served as Iola Modern’s design studio until their expansion to West Montague Avenue in December, 2022.
Park Circle Yoga will offer classes seven days per week with several class times scheduled each day, all taught by a diverse group of local teachers and practitioners. Students can expect classes rooted in solar and lunar experience, which honors the essential energies of both the sun and the moon.
About the solar + lunar experience:
The light, energy and warmth of the sun is essential for our survival. Solar practice includes dynamic, strong, physically invigorating movements. It produces a certain amount of heat in the body. The moon directly impacts the water on our planet. Lunar practice is more fluid and flowing and has an intuitive, calming effect. Most classes will have some of both types of movements with either solar or lunar being the primary energy.
Studio Founder Steven Ortego is excited to bring this offering to the Park Circle area. “While we live in one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in the entire Southeast, Park Circle has been yearning for a dedicated space for the practice of Yoga,” he said. “It is my sincere desire to make yoga accessible to our entire community which is rich in diversity. All are welcome at Park Circle Yoga Studio.”
Park Circle Yoga provides access to yoga for all, regardless of age, size, gender, or identity. Students can find comfort in knowing there is a place for every person in the space, regardless of where they may be on their journey.
“I want to take people beyond what the body can and cannot do,” said Studio Director Suzanne Goldston. “I want to take students beyond a practice that’s too fast, too hard and not properly supported. You have a body but you’re not a body. Uniting us with something beyond the body is yoga.”
Pay-per-class and monthly membership options are available via thePark Circle Studio website. The first 100 members who sign up for unlimited membership will receive 10% off their first year of membership.
Aside from the regular class schedule, Park Circle Yoga will soon offer beginner courses, workshops, camps, teacher certification and special events.
South Carolina Surf Soccer Club (“SC Surf”), in partnership with a local family, has officially broken ground on a new three-field, state-of-the-art soccer facility. The family’s charitable foundation has made a long-term commitment to the Charleston community through this significant investment and land donation. The recreational facility will be located on a 104-acre property at 5050 Hwy 17 N., which is being acquired from the McCaskill family, who have owned the land since the 1970s.
As the Charleston community has grown, so has the demand for accessible and quality field space. “This is a very exciting time for the Charleston youth soccer community, especially for those kids looking to play competitively,” says SC Surf President Tripp Moye. “SC Surf has made a commitment to enhancing the player development and family experience, ensuring that all kids have an opportunity to thrive through the game of soccer, and these fields will play an important role in allowing us to carry out that commitment.” Moye, a long-time Mount Pleasant resident, was inspired to get involved by the positive impact soccer has had on his three children.
“This will be an incredible community asset,” says Charleston Battery Chairman Rob Salvatore. “We see firsthand how much participation and enthusiasm there is for the game at the youth level. And with that, there is a need for more quality fields. A facility like this provides more capacity and a wonderful environment for the area’s youth to train and develop. We are thankful to all involved for supporting our community and growing the game.”
SC Surf will be the anchor tenant of the initial 12-acre phase. Anticipated phase one completion is expected by Labor Day of this year and will feature:
More than five acres of artificial turf
Two FIFA-regulated full-size 11v11 fields
One 9v9 field
Dedicated goalkeeper training area
Additionally, a covered pavilion and permanent restroom structure will be added, and the two 11v11 full-size fields will be marked for 7v7 and 9v9 games, ensuring flexibility for various age groups. An official field dedication will occur later this year.
A phase two portion of the master development will include an additional full-size (11v11) grass field and parking. This phase is currently going through the permitting process, with approvals expected this summer. Negotiations are ongoing with a potential long-term user of this additional field. The foundation hopes to conserve a significant portion of the remaining land as green space and is looking for a local partner to optimize the use of this acreage to benefit the Charleston community.
Building a Positive Environment for Charleston’s Youth
“Our vision is to create a positive environment that fosters lasting qualities that will shape each player into the best version of themselves on and off the field,” says SC Surf’s Director of Coaching and Player Development Tam McGowan. “The importance of these fields to the Charleston community cannot be overstated. Having a facility like this will provide world-class training and game experience for both players and coaches. It will be instrumental in creating a positive environment that allows us to serve more of Charleston’s youth.”
Commitment to Growing the Game for All
SC Surf currently serves over 900 local families and is dedicated to making soccer accessible to players regardless of their socioeconomic background. Outside of their members, SC Surf touches the lives of children through impactful partnerships with local nonprofits, including Kids on Point for the past three years, and hopes to expand their relationships with organizations like Windwood Family Services, Awendaw Recreation Department, Mount Pleasant Recreation Department, Citadel, College of Charleston and the Charleston County School District. Since 2015, SC Surf’s fundraising efforts and parent support have resulted in over $550,000 in player scholarships awarded to over 590 families.
Jimmy Buffett will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this year. That’s great news for the late musician and his following, but it comes as something of a huge surprise–but not because he’s undeserving of the honor.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has decided to honor Buffett not as a performer, but rather in a different capacity. The organization is choosing to recognize the laidback rocker for “musical excellence.”
Buffett wins his entrance into the group in a non-voted category, one which has seen many well-known stars finally get their due–or at least some version of it. His inclusion was chosen behind the scenes, and revealed as a delightful shock.
He isn’t the only artist set to receive this specific honor from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Buffett is joined in the musical excellence category by MC5, Norman Whitfield, and Dionne Warwick.
Buffett’s inclusion is surprising, given the fact that he’s never been nominated for the more traditional honor before. His name hadn’t been mentioned by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, so the fact that he was honored in any way is unexpected.
131 Columbus Street in downtown Charleston, South Carolina had been the home of The Alley, a concept bowling alley, restaurant and event space. The Alley was approved for demolition in the city’s Board of Architectural Review meeting on Feb. 14, 2024.
Planning for a new hotel is in early development stages and the expectation is that the new Lowline Hotel will take on this space. This new hotel will be an eight-stories with underground parking. The plans show the hotel featuring 175 rooms, a bar, dining room and 125 parking spaces.
The Lowline Hotel will sit right along the future Lowcountry Lowline Park. This is a planned linear park along the former rail line. The new hotel will be located at 131 Columbus Street, between King Street and Meeting Street in downtown Charleston, South Carolina.
The new location will offer comprehensive mental health services in Charleston and the surrounding areas, providing patients with the tools they need to live life to the fullest.
