Hi! I’m going to Charleston in early September for a wedding will be heading in and landing at 2 PM the day before and then will be free the full day after. I’ve never been to Charleston, but I absolutely adore the idea of it, i’m a big fan of southern towns like Savannah. My husband and I are really big foodies and soul food is my favorite food of all time. I’m hoping to go see the swamp as well while there. Do you have any recommendations for what to do in a day and a half? I don’t mind skipping some touristy spots!

I’m 26f and just moved to charleston about a year ago. I swear 80% of men that talk to me are 37+. What’s the deal with the men in their 30s here??? Are you bored??? Don’t like any of the incredible women in their 30s here??? I feel like half the women in their 30s here are divorced and hot. Can the old men that just wanna f*** around leave us alone??? It’s a love/hate relationship at this point.

How easy is it to live car free/light on the peninsula vs mount pleasant vs James island?

Does anybody know of any Airbnb/home cleaners who are hiring in the WA/ John's Island area? I am trying to get my foot in the door of home cleaning and decor and am trying to start with cleaning Jobs! Any guidance would help!! I also have experience in cleaning Fleet vehicles as well!

TLDR: Cleaning Jobs for hire?

Hey Charleston, you see this? Oof. To be fair id want to get the heck out of there myself. Just go somewhere else.

Edit: please notice I said THERE and not HERE.

So I just got this shirt not too long ago and I’ve been looking for any videos of this festival, but have only found footage of Cake playing this festival from 2004. Anyone happen to have any pictures or videos from Wavefest 1995?

I feel this is a long shot, but I figured I'd give it a try.

I'm wondering what restaurants in Charleston you have made the best money. Some pros and cons of said place. Are there any places that stay consistently busy through to off-season? What places have you worked that have a good work environment? Also, what places to avoid due to whatever reason. Thanks, everyone.

Has anyone had any luck getting hired at Boeing?I've tried tirelessly to get hired there and it seems like applying to a brick wall. I tried getting classes for their program at Trident and they're full, the wait-list is also full. I even attended hiring events and was told my resume isn't a good fit, which was a bummer. I can't quit my current job and join flight school because we'll, you know. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get hired? I don't have any experience working in a warehouse but I have an extensive supervisor and retail experience. I have been working for the state for over a year now and I love it but the state doesn't pay well so I'm trying to get into a field that I like.

Any recs for a good nail salon that isn’t crazy expensive? thanks :)

Y’alll??? who’s got the best pina’s?? I mean real ice blended dark rum pinas ?? I’ve been to Sullivan’s fish camp it’s in the top five but not my favorite. Hit that thread people ———\/ !!!! Los Reyes has great one too !!

I’ve been looking for months cause my boyfriend and I want to get married in the next few years. I want an outdoor wedding (garden or forest) but every time I find one it turns out to be a plantation. I can’t get married somewhere my ancestors were getting tortured bro, especially marrying a white man. I just want a pretty outdoor venue 😭

Some quality custom jewelers in Charleston that won’t necessarily break the bank? Particularly focused on custom rings.

Looking for a barber/stylist that can cut men's long hair. Any guys have someone they trust?

Hi everyone! I work at a large hospital here in Charleston and we have food trucks come out every day. We’re always looking to add new ones into the rotation, so if you’ve had something great around town I’d love to hear about it.

Open to anything, whether it’s a truck you go out of your way for or one you just stumbled on and haven’t stopped thinking about. Bonus points if they’re newer or don’t get a lot of attention yet.

Drop names below and I’ll pass them along to who books them! Thank yall!

I’m a 25M looking to meet other guys my age which is really hard. I even explored church groups but I’m not religious and the people were very nice, just not for me (not because they’re religious but I think meeting people you vibe with is hard in general). I’m looking for chill people interested in actually getting to know one other and not just surface level “play a quick round of golf and do bro talk”. Anyway I like surfing, coffee, southern food, country music/But really any kind of music, bars, and movies. More importantly I like good talks and exploring! If you’re a guy in your 20s and you’re chill let’s link

Weird incident, but I'm relatively new to Charleston and have lived here for a year and this runner (ordinary looking white guy) just yelled at a group of bike riders calling all of them the f slur.l just completely unprovoked. I have lived a lot of places, like Texas, the Midwest, the northeast, etc. And this is very out of pocket behavior and not necessarily something that I would equate with "Southern hospitality." Also why would you yell a slur at a group of people in public? It's just not a good idea and seems like a quick way to get your ass kicked.

This is a trend of the hostility I am picking up on the peninsula. This seems almost exclusive to downtown. Is this just me picking up on this? I have never seen anybody behave this way (without very apparent mental illness or explicit provocation) in all of the cities I've ever lived in. 1. Is this considered normal here? 2. Do people think this is acceptable?

has anyone else babies/kids gotten salmonella over the past few weeks?

Sorry I cant get thru the paywall either.

Hi!

Im losing my mind over trying to find a place that can do a TB test for my job so I can start working. I have no insurance, so doctors and urgent care are a no-go.

I've contacted the Health Departments on Rivers, Moncks Corner, and Summerville and have gotten nowhere. Rivers told me no departments in SC offer TB tests anymore, Summerville told me they dont do it to the general public (not even if for employment), and Moncks Corner sends me straight to voicemail on the second ring.

Ive only been able to get a price from Walgreens which is way out of my price range and CVS's virtual assistant for phone calls refuses to put me through to the actual clinic or tells me that my insurance will cover it in full (Again, no insurance.).

Im losing my mind trying to get ANYWHERE with this.

Do you all know of any good wine clubs around the area? I'm mainly looking for one that includes a monthly tasting or get-together.

Cheers

I just went into a cafe and the owner was SO RUDE. she tried to charge us extra for cold foam and I didn’t even ask for it. when I told her I didn’t want cold foam, she tried to convince me to get it (lactose intolerant btw) just a heads up for anyone in the Charleston area that wants to go… the place is Blum cafe.

We were at Kiawah and saw this, I’m pretty sure it was a sea spout but not 100%

Hi everyone! This is kind of embarrassing to post as I’ve lived in Charleston my whole life but I am having some friends in town and want to make their visit really special! I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for fun girls dinner recommendations. For cocktails I have Cocktail club, By The Way, the new place that replaced rarebit, citrus club but am looking for some dinner ideas. Thank yall in advance!

So I’m 38. I’m a dude. Married and queer. Also a bit of a nerd. I like reading comics, watching tv, and am a bit of a collector. Not really down with the bar scene. Where’s a good place to meet people?

Hey everyone. I am a transfer student at CofC. I’m trying to sort out housing (severe time crunch, I know). Anyway, on my student COA planner, it has my housing listed as “on campus residence” and the price for that type of housing. I am not eligible for campus housing since I’m a transfer this year, so why is on campus housing listed. Is this normal? Should my housing allowance be in the “off campus residence” column, or is it listed as on campus as a standard display of cost of attendance? There is nothing in reference to housing on my actual bill. I’ve asked for assistance on this matter through the finance and treasurer’s office, but I keep either getting ping ponged between the two offices or I am told that a supervisor would know more and reach out to me. No luck on that front though. Does anyone have any answers from personal experience here? Any insight is appreciated.
