North Charleston is giving $1 million to a new
African American history museum in South Carolina and is asking the
museum to include the city’s story.
The North Charleston City
Council voted unanimously Thursday to give the money from the city’s
taxes on hotels to the International African American Museum being built
in Charleston.
Mayor Keith Summey says he
hopes the money helps tell the story of North Charleston’s predecessor
Liberty Hill, where a black couple bought farmland during the Civil War
that was later sold to other African Americans. Read more here: https://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article234307732.html#storylink=cpy
The dance in the middle of the park without music, without an audience but a story of a princess and the ball running through your head The mornings when the aroma of coffee and the warmth of the rising sun remind me of home
It is in the heart that you share The compassion for the weak that makes you strong
If I could feel the love you feel, I would know the answers I have sought as I journey to this sunset
On this horse named Hope, I ride without direction
Listening for your heartbeat
You hug as if it is the first time seeing me
Holding tight, reminding without words the importance of touch
You laugh with the strength of Hercules; cry with the devastation of Pompeii
Patience So much patience One step at a time Birth to twilight
When you close your eyes as the wind brushes back your hair, there is a connection with nature most can never understand
I love the way you love All things All dreams
In the rain, you see re-birth A cleansing of the soul The rest run
At night, you embrace the silence In the crowds and the screaming, the embrace of life
I love that you believe in the greater good Humanity is a gift you unwrap once strand at a time Mental nakedness lets you feel
I love the way you love
In you, I continue to learn
MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. — Mount Pleasant resident and Charleston Commercial managing director Joshua Schaap is redeveloping 1223 Ben Sawyer Blvd. into a retail space for two tenants.
The property — previously family owned for two generations — had fallen into disrepair. The two small buildings at this location are being combined into one building. The plans approved by the Town of Mount Pleasant include vaulted ceilings, dormers, additional windows and improved sidewalks. The overall site plan has been improved while maintaining the original buildings’ design integrity. The renovations will be complete this fall.
One of the two available spaces has been leased by Mulberry & King, an online retailer with a small showroom currently located at 1470 Ben Sawyer Blvd. Owners Megan Masters and Meredith Murphy, both of whom live in Mount Pleasant, sell women’s clothing, shoes and accessories at affordable price points while creating a personal shopping experience in their showroom.
“We wanted to be easily accessible and visible for our customers and continue to offer them a personal, one-on-one shopping experience when they come visit our showroom,” Masters said. “The space at 1223 Ben Sawyer has so much character and already feels like home, we can’t wait for our customers to feel the same way when they come shop with us.”
The second, and smaller of the two spaces, is available for lease. There are several other local companies that would like to move in as well.
“I live and work in Mount Pleasant so when this piece of property became available, I wanted to keep it local,” Schaap said. “Now 1223 Ben Sawyer Boulevard is locally owned and already one of the two available spaces is leased to a local tenant. I really believe in and value local businesses, and this new space will be a wonderful home to locally owned tenants.”

Two familiar lovers find refuge in euphoric haven of one another In the near distance, rain pours from the evening sky Crashing into the window A sound so comforting
Outside the patter of raindrops, an infrequent silence void of the chaos of life dawdles
Soothing sounds of heaven’s shower slipping into the pull of gravity
Only our breath fills the crisp air
The resistance to leave the soft fragrant sheets clinging to the pours and hugging every curve is powerful
With effortless spooning, our bodies draw near
Your timeless beauty and natural skin caress this weary soul
This morning will wait
For just a little longer
Closer I pull until we are one
Safe from a work of responsibility
Safe from the dangers and risks
Bound by a love, pure as the blue skies
One more moment
Just a few more hours to embrace the night
With you, effortless
A whisper in your ear “Close your eyes my dear and let one more dream fill your mind with lemon drops and cotton candy”
CHARLESTON, S.C., Aug. 21, 2019

the dancers on the Lifetime’s hit show, “Dance Moms.” In addition to
teaching, she has the rare privilege to stage works from both the George
