TIMEOUT FOR GOOD TIMES

Proposed dorm on cemetery site sparks spirited community debate

By Herb Frazier

The College of Charleston bought land last year near its downtown campus to build a dormitory knowing a centuries-old burial ground for poor and enslaved people surrounds the site, a college official said.

The remains of poor Whites, Africans newly arrived on slave ships, travelers and orphaned children in the soil raised immediate concerns, Paul Patrick, the college’s chief of staff, told the Charleston City Paper

With that awareness, Patrick said, the college commissioned a study to validate that history and conduct ground penetrating radar to look for burials.

Radar scans last year were inconclusive on whether human remains are under a parking lot at 106 Cannon St., the former headquarters for the YWCA of Greater Charleston, he said.

Street Commons, a multi-level residency hall for several hundred students to meet the college’s growing need for affordable oncampus housing, he said.

The YWCA site is part of the western edge of the block bounded by Calhoun, Vanderhorst and Coming streets that could contain thousands of late 18th– to early 19th–century graves, according to a 27-page report prepared by BVL Historic Preservation Research in Charleston.

“Based on vital records, death statistics, average grave dimensions, and varying interpretations of the site’s period of use, historians and cultural resource specialists estimate that between 4,600 and 12,000 individuals may be buried on the site,” according to the report.

Some are skeptical

“We aren’t saying there aren’t human remains,” Patrick explained. “We are saying that we didn’t find them” because the parking lot’s asphalt surface interfered with the radar scans.

Meeting with the public

In January 2025, the college paid $28.7 million for slightly more than an acre for the YWCA land with plans to build Coming

The college’s plans, however, have received stiff objections from Charlestonians who want the college to do more study before construction begins or put the dorm on another site. Some say they wonder whether the college is concerned about historic preservation and respects the dead.

The college will hold its third public meeting at 6 p.m. Monday at the St. Julian Devine Community Center at 1 Cooper St. on Charleston’s east side.

The property’s previous owner, McAlister Development Group, bought the land from the YWCA with plans to build student housing on it and lease the building to the college, Patrick said. But the college decided it would be best to own the property and

The Rundown

Lowcountry may have South’s best barbecue, according to ranking

South Carolina has 11 of the South’s top barbecue restaurants in Southern Living magazine’s new list of 50 Top BBQ Joints in the South. Only Texas, with 17 of 50 barbecue eateries, has more as a state. But remember, the Lone Star State has six times as many people as the Palmetto State.

What’s more amazing is the Lowcountry is home to seven of those top 50 places, according to the list compiled by Robert Moss, the magazine’s contributing barbecue editor and one-time City Paper food writer.

build housing for students who are struggling to find affordable off-campus options.

If the college gains approvals to build the dormitory, it will reflect the history of the pottery’s field and the YWCA that “was without question one of the epicenters of the civil rights movement in our community,” Patrick said. “We are prepared to follow the law, and we want to engage the public.”

But Charleston civil rights activist and educator Millicent Brown is not convinced.

“This project is so out of line with the wishes of large segments of the community that it needs to be totally re-thought through,” she stressed.

Brown is part of Protect and Respect the Bodies, a coalition of individuals, organization and faith groups that opposes a dorm on the 18th century “Strangers and Negroes Burying Ground.” The coalition is planning to meet at 5 p.m. Sept. 29 at the Charleston County Public Library on Calhoun Street.

The coalition has asked the S.C. Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) to hold a separate public hearing on the college’s request to demolish the YWCA building, Brown said.

The city’s Board of Architectural Review earlier this summer approved the college’s request to tear down the 1960s-era building. But the college will need a series of other approvals before it can begin construction, Patrick said.

A SCDES spokesman said the agency is “currently planning to hold a public meeting

Demolition proposal of property on Meeting Street deferred

By Skyler Baldwin

A proposal to demolish a building housing three Meeting Street businesses was met this month with such vehement community disapproval that the architect deferred the application before a city board considered it.

For now, the tenants at the 20th-century building at 280 Meeting St., which is home to The Bicycle Shoppe, 319 Men and Theatre 99, can breathe a little easier — at least for a while. According to media reports, the tenants were blindsided by the demolition proposal, which they only found out about after word spread through social media.

“I think everyone is a little bit relieved that they’re taking a beat here to, presumably, talk with the community,” said Preservation Society of Charleston President and CEO Brian Turner. “We encouraged people to comment when this was first posted on the Board of Architectural Review’s (BAR) agenda, and we were really glad to see a lot of people register their objections on the online portal.”

The board’s agenda, posted ahead of the Sept. 10 public meeting, was amended on Sept. 8 after the applicant, Eddie Bello of Bello Garris Architects, deferred the proposal on behalf of the property owner, listed as W.E. Applegate III.

Bello did not respond to requests for comment.

“As we often are in these situations, we’re really mindful that the way the BAR process is set up,” Turner said. “There’s pros and cons for dealing with something like this. The natural question is how would the board analyze a building like this? They have a lot of different tools they can use to say, ‘No.’ ”

Turner pointed to language in the BAR’s policies as evidence in favor of the building: importance to city culture, architecture and aesthetics, the nature and character of the surrounding area and more.

Turner said 20th-century buildings like the 280 Meeting St. property get a lot of skepticism from the board.

“Oh, they’ve lost their integrity, or well, they’ve been heavily altered, as if that’s a

sort of factor that warrants against their continued survival,” he said. That’s been frustrating for us.

“The city should be doing all it can to preserve these cultural spaces that are funky and give us a unique identity,” Turner added.

“Not to mention, but the likelihood of what replaces this from an economic perspective is probably not these kinds of spaces.”

Turner, however, admits speculation on the future of the site isn’t as relevant to the board as what currently lies there. BAR rules state that demolition applications are to be submitted on their own merits, and replacement projects aren’t really to be considered when discussing demolition proposals.

“It may be less relevant for the board to consider, but the reality is that it has the power to consider these cases for the city’s continued viability as a thriving arts and culture district,” Turner said.

The Preservation Society received an outpouring of support from community members on social media, with 44 comments on an Instagram post asking people to stand with the small businesses housed at 280 Meeting Street.

It is not clear how many public comments the BAR received ahead of the Sept. 10 meeting. Representatives with the BAR and the city of Charleston did not respond to requests for comment. When the board next takes up the proposal, however, all submitted comments that were not read on Sept. 10 will be read then.

The governing BAR committee meets on the second Wednesday of every month. Its next meeting will be Oct. 8. The agenda has not yet been posted.

On the impact, future of S.C. Guard deployments

By Jack O’Toole

Two hundred South Carolina National Guard (SCNG) troops deployed to Washington, D.C., in early August as part of President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown should be back in the Palmetto State by the end of the month.

“South Carolina National Guard will conduct a relief-inplace with the Georgia National Guard and expects its soldiers to return home to South Carolina before the end of the month,” Maj. Karla N. Evans told the Charleston City Paper in a Sept. 11 email.

S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster authorized the Washington deployment on Aug. 16, saying that “South Carolina is proud to stand with President Trump as he works to restore law and order.”

But critics of Trump’s move to use soldiers for domestic law enforcement note that crime in Washington and other major cities has fallen steadily since a pandemicrelated spike in 2020.

Also at issue is the impact that potentially frequent crime-fighting deployments could have on companies that employ members of the Guard, according to S.C. Small Business Chamber of Commerce President Frank Knapp.

“We’re concerned that employers are going to say this isn’t what we signed up for,” Knapp said, noting that employers are required to hold Guardsmen’s jobs open when they’re called up for duty. “So will we be seeing less interest in hiring members of the Guard if this continues?”

On the ground in Washington

Since deploying to Washington, Palmetto State Guardsmen have “engaged in a broad range of public safety support activities— including Metro station presence, hightraffic patrols, traffic operations and school safety initiatives,” Evans said.

Asked for specific examples of

and hearing based on the public comments we’ve received.” No date has been set.

With SCDES’s approval, Patrick said, the college plans to demolish the YWCA building, remove the parking lot and do more ground penetrating radar scans to look for human remains.

That work will proceed while the building is being designed, and the college obtains other approvals, he said.

The SCDES request includes approval to do soil testing for pilings into the ground, he said. “But none of that (piling) will be done until we have gone through the process to ensure that there are no

Guardsmen’s activities during the operation, SCNG pointed the City Paper to the Guard’s news channels, where a video news release detailed work in helping to apprehend a robbery suspect on Aug. 31.

“I stayed with that individual as he was moving down the street to keep track of his location,” Staff Sgt. Hardy Bogue said in the video. “The police came up quickly … and they apprehended the individual.”

In contrast, one Palmetto State resident who recently visited Union Station in Washington told the City Paper he saw troops from other states that seemed to be stuck with little to do.

“I was able to talk to several of them as they were largely just standing around, and many of them seemed quite bored,” he said. “Most of the time, they were just gathered in groups talking.”

Nevertheless, in a Sept. 9 visit with Palmetto State Guardsmen, Republican U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of S.C. said Trump made “the right decision” in sending the troops.

“The men and women of the National Guard represent the principles that keep our country strong, and I am grateful for their commitment to public safety and the security of vulnerable citizens,” Scott said.

On to Chicago?

With Trump threatening to send troops to more cities amid news reports of declining morale among those deployed, some are beginning to wonder what’s next for South Carolina’s guardsmen — and whether they’re being asked to take on a mission that critics say could turn dangerous in a New York, Atlanta or Chicago minute.

For instance, when Trump initially indicated that Chicago would be next, saying in a Sept. 6 social media post that the city “is about to find out why it’s called the Department of War,” Illinois officials were quick to push back.

“The president is using fear to deflect

human remains or if human remains are discovered then all of those human remains” can be reinterred at the site or elsewhere, he said.

The college will also need approval from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHIPO) to do archaeological investigations.

Unknowns in the ground

The BVL report says the site may hold “a higher degree of historic integrity and has the potential to yield” archaeological data and human remains left behind when it was a public burial ground from the 1790s through 1807.

Although much of the Charleston peninsula is built on forgotten burial sites,

and drive a wedge among us,” U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin said. “Unfortunately, he seems to be succeeding to some extent, but the people of Chicago won’t take kindly to a bully and a wannabe dictator.”

At press time, it was unclear where Trump’s troops-to-Chicago plan stood, with the president signing a Sept. 15 executive order deploying the Guard to Memphis, Tenn., while again telling reporters that Chicago is “probably next.”

Asked last week whether McMaster would consider sending troops to Chicago or any other city if asked, the governor’s office directed the City Paper to his public comments on Aug 26.

“There’s no doubt in some of these big cities [people] aren’t safe,” McMaster told reporters. “So as long as we are requested to do it and as long as the law allows it … we will help.”

Unfair to troops?

Charleston Democratic Sen. Ed Sutton, a decorated combat pilot who flew one of the last American military planes out of Kabul, Afghanistan, told the City Paper he believes the whole exercise unfairly politicizes the nation’s armed forces.

“It’s incredibly unfortunate that our National Guard is being used as political props,” Sutton said in a Sept. 10 interview. “Nobody signed up for this service.”

In particular, he said, he’s concerned about the safety of both troops and citizens in tense urban environments, given that the National Guard is trained to fight, not to police American cities.

“A military action and a law enforcement action are two totally different animals,” he said. “So we’re just applying the wrong tools to the problem there.

“Imagine if Illinois sent troops to a South Carolina city against our governor’s wishes under a Democratic president,” Sutton said. “Those folks in Columbia would be screaming their heads off about Big Brother and federal overreach, and rightly, if the shoe was on the other foot.”

College of Charleston sophomore Marion Vujevich said the college should not continue that precedent.

“I think it is crazy that we are building a dormitory on a cemetery,” said Vugevich, a political science student from Pittsburgh. “It is inhuman and disrespectful in general to build on top of a historic gravesite that (holds) four thousand people.”

Miller said she’d prefer that the college and the city “let the bodies rest in peace. Demolish the building, place a memorial and create a park that commemorates the city’s poor and unknown of yesteryear.”

Blotter of the Week

A downtown man on Sept. 3 reportedly stole two packs of short ribs from a Westside grocery store. Security footage captured the man shoving the meat down his pants before slipping out of the store. Police patrolled the area shortly after but were unable to locate the suspect.

Inconspicuous

North Charleston police on Sept. 14 pulled over a driver near the intersection of Dorchester Road and Interstate 26 that they suspected was driving under the influence. The driver reportedly hid a Red Solo cup in the passenger floorboard, but left the white can labeled “Margarita” in a cupholder in plain view of the officer. Yup, the driver was arrested.

Just hearing things

A Mount Pleasant man on Sept. 7 told town police that a skateboarder rolled past him on Park West Boulevard and said, “Give me your wallet,” but continued skating like nothing happened. Police later questioned the suspect, but he seemed confused and denied saying anything. Conclusion: Either the man was hearing things — or police need to question the skateboard itself.

EDITORIAL

Don’t use a tragedy to erode freedom

This is an editorial about free speech and how it’s a core American value to protect words used in public debate — even if we abhor those very words. In fact, we need to fight harder to protect words we detest if we say we truly are for free speech. Censoring words — even words we hate — leads us away from freedom and towards fascism.

So imagine what people think when they hear that a South Carolina college professor was fired this week for saying that tragically slain political activist Charlie Kirk was “awful” and “not a good person.”

You wouldn’t be surprised, right? Because those hard words about a dead man piss you off, right? Except get this: A professor didn’t say those words. Kirk did, when speaking about another tragically slain activist — the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Here’s Kirk’s full quote — including a gratuitous claim that King was lying when he talked about judging people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

“MLK was awful,” Kirk said at a December 2023 America Fest conference. “He’s not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn’t believe.”

So think about Kirk’s words. They’re wrong — just as wrong as political violence and some of the words we’ve read about Kirk’s tragic death.

Yet some S.C. Republicans want to trample the constitutional protection of free speech to get state employees fired for insulting Kirk’s memory for talking like Charlie Kirk. Really?

People, let’s slow down. It’s time to respect and honor the dead, including the Democratic state senator slain earlier this year in political violence in Minnesota. It’s time to ratchet down intemperance for words and come together, not continue to split.

This latest Palmetto State witch hunt over words started shortly after Kirk’s horrific Sept. 10 murder on the campus of Utah Valley University. Some responded with rage, others with horror. And sadly, a relative few hit “send” on messages that showed bad judgment and a startling lack of empathy. No surprise there. Social media enables people to say the first thing that pops into their head.

But that’s why we generally extend a measure of grace even in pretty extreme rhetorical circumstances. Just this week, for instance, a Fox News host was allowed to apologize and keep his job after saying that mentally ill homeless people should be killed.

But some S.C. Republicans, acting in concert with the Trump administration’s larger crackdown on speech since Kirk’s murder, decided apologies weren’t going to be good enough in this case. And before you could say “double standard,” they were threatening to defund state universities and school systems that didn’t purge social media transgressors. In turn, at least three colleges fired some professors and employees.

Republican officials leading the charge to fire educators insist they’re fighting for civility, not censorship. They’re not wrong to condemn comments that cheered Kirk’s murder.

But some of those career-ending statements were closer to what Kirk said of King. So let’s all remember something else Charlie Kirk wrote in May of last year: “There’s ugly speech. There’s gross speech. There’s evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free.”

S.C. Republicans need to take these words of Charlie Kirk to heart and stop their too-convenient, politicized witch hunt. Let’s not erode free speech. Let’s keep America — and South Carolina — free.

CHARLESTON CHECKLIST of community objectives

We encourage community leaders to act on these audacious priorities:

1. Deal with the water. Build a strong resiliency plan to harden infrastructure and make smart climate change decisions about development, roads and quality of life.

2. Fix roads, traffic. Repair and improve roads and reduce traffic. Speed up alternatives, including more public transportation.

3. Be smarter about education. Inject new energy into the broken Charleston County school board by focusing on kids, not national mantras.

4. Conduct public business in public. Be transparent in public business. Stop the secrecy.

5. Invest in quality of life. Build more parks. Have more festivals. Invest in infrastructure that promotes a broad sense of community.

6. Engage in real racial conciliation. If we embark on more conversations and actions on racial reconciliation, our community will strengthen and grow.

7. Develop fewer hotels, more affordable housing. Make Charleston a more affordable place to live for everyone.

8. Develop Union Pier at scale. Let’s not put ship-sized buildings on the coveted Union Pier property downtown. Instead, make what comes appropriate.

9. Build and follow a 50-year plan. Plan for the county’s long-term future and follow the plan.

10. Pay people more. Pay a living wage. Push South Carolina lawmakers to set a real minimum wage.

Are we at a tipping point? By

Andy Brack

The idiom you’ve probably heard more times than you can count is that hindsight is 20-20, meaning that it may be pretty easy now to see how and why something happened in the past.

For example, looking back, historians and politicians came up with all sorts of high-falutin’ explanations of why the Soviet Union crumbled and the Berlin Wall fell. But in the middle of everything leading up to it, did anyone really see that it would happen so quickly? Not really. Even people like the late Czech writer and leader Vaclav Havel, who opposed the Russian bear for years, were taken by surprise, writes cultural observer Malcolm Gladwell in last year’s Revenge of the Tipping Point. Another of several hindsight examples in the book is gay marriage — which seemed like a mountain for activists to climb for decades until it quickly happened starting around 2012. Gladwell points not to politics, but to a television show as moving the nation toward a tipping point to accepting gay marriage. And he quotes former conservative U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Penn., looking back:

“I was in politics for 16 years and I realized something particularly on the moral and cultural issues,” he said in a speech. “It’s that politics does not shape those issues. Popular culture shapes those issues, particularly the issue of [gay] marriage … When it came to the issue of marriage, and changing the definition of marriage, there was no change. None, zero, for 30 years. And then a television show came on the air called Will & Grace.”

Gladwell’s book also seems to seek to quantify tipping points in several discussions about a concept called the “magic third.”

One example is in elementary education. In general, he writes, studies show when Black kids are a minority in majority White classrooms, they fall behind more and more every year. In first grade, they often are 6% behind their White peers, but just five grades later, they can be 20% behind on testing measures.

But if the percentage of Black kids in classrooms rises to 25% or 30%, scoring differences dramatically shift — and the Black students don’t fall behind. There’s a “magic” number of having other people who look like them that seems to create a dynamic so that the Black students succeed, not fail.

There are a lot of people who are sick and tired of authoritarian crap infecting the democracy that our forefathers died for.

Another example cited — women on corporate boards. When corporate boards grudgingly started to diversify away from all White men, women didn’t really feel their voices were heard or that they made a difference when they were one of nine on a board. Add another and little changed. But if a third woman joined the board, the dynamic shifted. The majority started paying attention and the corporate culture changed, Gladwell writes, because of the magic third.

Such a concept — people being exposed to popular mass culture like a television show about a gay man living with a woman friend or the percentage of kids being in a classroom — is a kind of social engineering. But it raises interesting questions in today’s partisan, polarized political environment where no one can seem to get along and everything seems volatile: Is it possible that we now are in the middle of a national tipping point on how we want to govern in the future — but we don’t see it because we’re in the middle of it? Is it possible in two or four years that it will all be obvious in hindsight what was going to happen — even though the politicians and pundits seem incapable today of prognosticating our future?

I believe we are inside of a tipping point — and that it could go either way. There are a lot of people who are sick and tired of authoritarian crap infecting the democracy that our forefathers died for. But there are also a lot of people enraged by how they’ve been left out — and they seem to be willing to embrace simplistic, authoritarian solutions and rhetoric at the expense of their liberty.

The next election will tell us a lot — but it’s going to take more than any magic third for things to change.

A ‘ museum nerd’ has landed at Gibbes

By Maura Hogan

lex Rich is in high gear. New business cards are freshly inked with the title “President and CEO, Gibbes Museum of Art” below his name, H. Alexander Rich.

He’s also mastering the menus at Gibbesproximate lunch spots like Basic Kitchen, where Charleston City Paper first connected with him.

At his new home just across the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, he’s landed with his family — husband Greg, toddler son and schnauzer — who are settling into their own routines of remote work and daycare.

It’s been several months since late 2024 when Rich was first contacted about the role in national search. A specialist in modern and contemporary art history, he was then executive director and chief curator of the Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art at Florida Southern College.

Fast-forward to 2025. Rich still boasts that new-car incredulity that comes with landing a dream job. It’s evidenced not only by own statements indicating as much but also by his twinkling, earnest eyes.

Drawn to the arts

It turns out that this palpable wonder started in his own wonder years.

“Not every kid loves museums more than playgrounds, but I did — and I felt that way for as long as I can recall,” he said.

His childhood home on Manhattan’s 82nd Street was a straight shot to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he was often taken by his grandfather.

Not every kid loves museums more than playgrounds, but I did — and I felt that way for as long as I can recall.”

—Alex Rich

From about age 2, Rich focused on cartooning, creating Sesame Street crayonon-construction paper drawings. At school, he became known as the class artist.

Aspirations of becoming a Disney animator prompted him to send an illustration of the Roger Rabbit character to the company. He then received a thank you letter signed by Roy E. Disney encouraging hard work to realize those dreams. He still has it.

While studying the Spanish Civil War as a teen, he gleaned insight from Picasso’s weeping women paintings. At 16, he landed a high school apprenticeship at the Met, which cemented his interest in becoming a museum director and led to a bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College followed by a Ph.D. in art history from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University.

Drawn by the Gibbes

Unlike many newcomers, it was not the allure of sought-after locale that piqued Rich’s interest in the Gibbes. He had, in fact, never before visited the city. The draw was the caliber of the Gibbes.

“From the vantage point of someone engaged deeply with the museum world, I had also always admired the exhibitions and programs the Gibbes produced, even going so far as to point to the Gibbes as an example and show each mailing I received to my previous team, saying ‘I love what the Gibbes is doing! These are aspirational goals!’ ”

It’s also not lost on him that he’s filling some estimable shoes, with outgoing leader Angela Mack having logged 44 years at the Gibbes, with 17 in the top spot. Rich said he is deeply appreciative of this strong foundation, as he is Mack’s quick friendship, which has helped guide his own focus.

“The Gibbes’ role in the city, in the county, in the region, nationally and internationally, is always evolving, and my deepest hope and most driving motivation is that we grow our audiences and steer attention toward the amazing work, exhibitions, programs and collections that make the Gibbes so special,” he said.

The arts are more important today than ever, Rich said.

“In divisive times especially, art allows us to appreciate how others think and feel and the best art helps us not merely better to understand and communicate with one another but also how better to navigate the world and our relationships.”

Cuisine

Sweatman’s Garden to start shipping housemade sodas

By Liz Regalia

Mixologist Danielle Sweatman is busy on most days behind the bar she owns with her husband Brent. On Mondays, however, she is guaranteed to be in the kitchen.

Together, the duo behind Sweatman’s Garden sodary, named Best Non-Alcoholic Bar of 2025 by Charleston City Paper, spend the start of every week dreaming up four new seasonal soda flavors to feature on an ever-changing menu. Whether it’s a summery peaches-and-cream lemonade or cozy cranberry orange soda with rosemary, the winners are then hand-crafted and batched in a 7-gallon pony keg on Tuesday and on tap by Wednesday.

But this month, the Sweatmans are adding a new task to their well-oiled weekly soda operation: They’re bottling fresh batches of their best-selling tonics and sodas to ship across the East Coast.

Fresh sodas on your doorstep Sweatman’s Garden is set to unveil an online retail store at the end of September so customers can get its most popular nonalcoholic drink products. The new venture will run out of its same cozy brick-andmortar space in the South Windermere Shopping Center in West Ashley.

“We do everything as fresh as we can,” Danielle said. “That means we make everything in-house that we will serve each week, and the same will go for what we ship. We feature a lot of seasonal and all-natural ingredients so we want our products to taste as fresh as possible.”

A mix of permanent menu items will be available to order this fall, including Sweatman’s original ginger beer, tonic, ginger beer mule, lime cream soda and habanero fresca soda. Down the road, Sweatman said she plans to expand offerings with fun items like surprise seasonal soda packs featuring rotating flavors for fans of her unique weekly specials. And for fans of the funky-yet-cozy ambiance of Sweatman’s Garden cocktail lounge? Rest assured the experience of sipping Sweatman’s soda at home will not disappoint. The packaging will have a similar vintage vibe and complement the refillable growlers and growlettes already on sale at the sodary for customers who want to bring

beverages home in eco-friendly style.

“Everything I do has to be aesthetic,” she said, the creative mastermind behind the bar’s unique design which features everything from disco balls to velvet couches. “We’ll be packaging everything in glass swing-top bottles with screen-printed logos. These are not single-use, but rather items people can use beyond pouring their soda out of which is important to me.”

Building on brand buzz

Sodas will ship only to locations along the East Coast to start, but don’t be surprised to see Sweatman’s products nationwide soon. While Sweatman’s Garden, which opened in 2023, is still relatively new to Charleston, the brand’s larger fanbase is anything but — thanks to multiple longstanding partnerships with restaurants around town.

The Obstinate Daughter’s cocktail list includes two signature drinks starring Sweatman’s house-made sodas. And at The Rarebit, where Brent ran the bar in 2015, Sweatman’s ginger beer is still a beloved menu staple for locals and Charleston visitors.

“The inspiration to launch a store really came from emails I get every week asking how to order,” he said. “Some people write to say they had our ginger beer at The Rarebit six years ago, and they need to

order it because they just found out we have a brick-and-mortar spot.”

Crafting cocktails, community

As word continues to spread about Sweatman’s products, so too does the buzz about Sweatman’s Garden here in the Holy City. On the heels of the bar’s second anniversary last month, Sweatman said she has seen an uptick in its popularity among locals.

“We started as a bar more for sober people and sober-curious people,” Sweatman said. “But now that people have found out that we do all kinds of amazing Delta-9 and alcoholic cocktails with our sodas also, we are getting more people who simply love delicious, high-quality drinks.”

Sweatman’s Garden continues to expand the ways to engage the community, too. Think themed Thursday nights featuring fun drink specials and even monthly Full Moon parties featuring a roster of female-owned small businesses so patrons can shop while they sip.

“The events started out as things that I would like to go to,” Sweatman said. “But they’ve now formed this awesome community for local vendors to come together as well as. My goal is to always be a really inclusive space, and I’m so happy that is coming to fruition.”

Fall soda sneak peek at Sweatman’s Garden

Sweatman’s Garden has 12 fresh house-made sodas on tap each week, four of which are always rotating — and wildly inventive.

“Fall and winter are the most fun time to make drinks because you get to use all the delicious nostalgia ingredients,” Danielle said. “Anything with apple and warm pumpkin spice flavors are so cozy.”

Curious what to expect in the coming months? After Sweatman debuted a tomato tonic this summer that sold out on regularly, she plans to bring new inventive tonics into the mix this fall. Expect apple and orange, as well as a few wild cards starring fresh seasonal produce.

Bestsellers from last fall will also be back by popular demand, including Sweatman’s sweet potato mule and S’mores mule.

“We also do a pumpkin soda every year that reminds me of a magical Harry Potter drink,” Sweatman said. “It’s too fun.”

Ma’am Saab introduces Pakistani

‘Lunch Punch’

By Becky Lacey

If you have ever eaten at the spice-infused Pakistani restaurant Ma’am Saab downtown, it is clear that the food is made with joy. And starting Sept. 19, there will be even more opportunities to enjoy the restaurant when a new lunch service begins. From 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays, the kitchen window on Meeting Street will be open for a new concept in the grab-and-go lunch landscape.

“I want to put our name on the map that we know how to do wraps and quick food,” said Raheel Gauba, Ma’am Saab’s owner and a native of Karachi, Pakistan. “We are known for a bit of an upscale dining experience. But for a person who is walking by and needs a quick bite for lunch, we want to give them something that they will remember.”

The lunch is reminiscent of the lively canteens that Gauba grew up frequenting in Karachi. Food will be served straight from the grill, wrapped up and placed into the hands of diners. Payment will be credit card only to keep things fast and the line moving.

Ma’am Saab is also partnering with College of Charleston’s off-campus meal plan (OCMP), and it will be live when the lunch menu launches.

Foods that punch

The lunch menu’s options are limited but scream of the flavors of Pakistan.

On the meat side, options include butter chicken, a frontier kabab (a ground beef patty with eggplant spread and kachoomar, a salad with cucumbers, onions, tomatoes and herbs) and chicken karachi (a secret, spiced tomato sauce). All three can be made with paneer (fresh South Asian cheese) for a vegetarian option and for vegans, the menu offers a sweet potato and cholay (curried chickpea) choice. All items are available as a paratha (a flaky flatbread) wrap or as a bowl with Biryani rice.

Lunch options are priced at $15 and can be made into a meal with a drink and bag of chips for an additional $4. Drinks include mango lassi, masala lemonade and other soft drinks. The chip selection will be a rotating offering of Asian flavors starting with Lay’s Magic Masala chips.

Developing the menu

Gauba and Chef Jason Lapp, a veteran of Charleston restaurants including Kwei Fei, Collectivo and La Tela Pizzeria, are clearly in sync. You can tell from the food and the kitchen operations that they trust and inspire one another.

They said a lot of testing went into the recipe development. Lapp has piggybacked off the existing dinner menu prep. The only items that the lunch menu has added to the daily prep list are an eggplant spread and a ginger-scallion mixture that goes into a mayonnaise.

Gauba said his mother, Hamida Gauba, visited recently from Toronto and joined Lapp in the kitchen to show him the family recipe for a Chapli kabab, a flat, generously spiced meat patty from Peshawar, Pakistan. Gauba and Lapp decided to put a modern, Ma’am Saab spin on the traditional chapli and created the Frontier kabab. Frontier has multiple meanings as it’s the northwest province in Pakistan and the place where chapli was created.

“Frontier, I love that word because we are breaking boundaries and doing cool things,” said Gauba. “A traditional kabab roll is going to have your tamarind chutney. It’s going to have your traditional green chili, cilantro chutney. Jason created this eggplant spread, and that’s where the smokiness is coming from.

“He made some modifications and made this Frontier kabab his own. So he is staying true to tradition but also is breaking all kinds of rules in the most amazing way possible.”

What is striking about all of the options is the balance between flavors and textures.

The depth of the butter chicken is brightened by the sweetness and crunch of pomegranate seeds. Many of the options start with a hint of sweet before ending with mild heat thanks to chili powder.

Vegans and vegetarian options are often an afterthought on lunch menus. At Ma’am Saam, the opposite is true. These dishes shine and manage to be both substantial and light. Sweet potato is tossed in chaat masala, and elements of salt, brown sugar and tamarind-date chutney shine through.

Making magic

Lunch and dinner menus at the restaurant are rooted in tradition with a spin.

“The foundation is still tradition and if you move away from that tradition, then everything else you build on top of it, collapses. What Jason nailed was the foundation and then he’s created a funhouse on top of it.”

Lapp noted that Pakistani food has been the most challenging of the cuisines he’s cooked because he didn’t have a base in it. But he bounces everything off Gauba and they are constantly developing, tasting and tweaking. Gauba said this process only works with trust, respect and love.

“Jason has proven that he is not going to let the tradition part down, but then he’s also proven that he can get super-creative. And when you put those two things together, magic happens.”

Culture

The Sound of Music captivates, hits home

By Maura Hogan

With the decades-long, steady stream of holiday airings of the JulieAndrews-powered movie version of The Sound of Music, you may well think you’ve already utterly cracked the crowd-pleasing family favorite.

The 1959 Broadway musical version, based on the 1965 American musical drama film, launches Charleston Stage’s 2025-26 season in a beguiling production directed by Marybeth Clark at the Dock Street Theatre.

Inspired by a true story, the musical is the work of composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein, with a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. Both dramatized versions center on the ostensible problem of an Austrian nun-intraining named Maria, as she assumes her reluctant role as nanny to the seven motherless, mischievous von Trapp children.

So this is not the movie, per se, but, moreover, it is not the moment when many of us first encountered it. Then, the notion of an Austria so menaced by occupying Nazis that it compelled Captain Georg von Trapp to flee seemed a terrible chapter wholly relegated to darker days behind us, rather than to come.

Gorgeous local performance

The Sound of Music is absolutely engaging and affecting in Charleston Stage’s gorgeously performed new production. What’s more, given the current world order, its driving truths loom anew and with added agency.

Sure, you’ll perk up to captivating vocal stylings of beloved numbers that many of us know word for word — the cheering, charming “My Favorite Things” with its raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, the “Do-Re-Mi,” that figured into many an early musical education, the rousing pronouncement that the hills are alive with the sound of music–and that, according to a certain mother superior,

The Broadway musical version of The Sound of Music goes the distance at 21/2 hours with scenes that were not included in the cinematic version

every one of them should be climbed.

The performers, who are accompanied by an 11-piece live orchestra led by music director/conductor Michael Lopez, enfold you in the comfort of nostalgia as if it were a well-loved family quilt.

If you have seen the movie many times, you’ll note some that are in a different sequence. Some aren’t accounted for, and others are present that had landed on the cutting-room floor, particularly those spotlighting Georg’s presumptive marriage to Elsa Schrader (Kerri Roberts), and her kinship with her partner-in-socializing, Uncle Max (Julian Blake Gordon).

This all plays out on a welcoming set, designed by Juian Wiles with brightly painted backdrops and panels — from its opening convent that gives way to Maria idling on a bridge with the Alps to the proud yellow manse the von Trapps call home.

Movie devotees will more than get their fix from the Broadway show, thanks in particular to wide-eyed, winsome Maria, as portrayed with heart, esprit, gumption and glorious vocals by Abby Vernon. Those were close to heaven as the Alps can get you, no easy matter for songs with such a hold on our collective memory. She finds ballast in her military-minded counterpart and love interest Georg, as portrayed in a measured rendition by Lee Lewis.

In a recent performance, Vernon was only occasionally upstaged by 5-year-old Eva Davis as Gretl, the youngest von Trapp. The production alternates the youth performers, so I also enjoyed spirited performances that

ART CONTEST

evening by Rafaella Connolly as Louisa, Connor Collette as Kurt, Evelyn Ahlert as Brigitta and Vivian Coppel as Marta.

Throughout the run, Kelsey Engen is a sweet-piped, effervescent Liesl, wellmatched by the macho-wannabe of Max Mast in the role of her 17-going-on-18-yearold Nazi youth paramour Franz. As Friedrich, Harry Baxley nailed the role, and his hallmark high note, too.

Clocking in at two and half hours, not counting intermission, the musical goes the distance. Even though most were well aware of the show’s narrative arc, it succeeds in striking a suitably ominous chord near the end. When two red banners with large swastikas flank the family, we can only stare helplessly from our seats as soldiers storm the stage.

Amid dulcet sounds and sentiments of those aforementioned raindrops on roses, it’s hard not to question whether we, like the von Trapps, could climb every mountain in the face of such force. That’s driven home when the captain, throat catching with emotions, sings “Edelweiss” to his audience and us, the score’s number that became a patriotic song in Austria.

As the captain struggles under the weight of his threatened homeland with aggression advancing toward him, my throat caught for my homeland, too.

Legendary McMurtry returns to play Pour House

By Vincent Harris

Texas singer/songwriter James McMurtry’s new album, The Black Dog and The Wandering Boy, opens with a menacing, corrosive tune called “Laredo (Small Dark Something).” It’s a true stomper, a natural fit for opening an album: A four-on-thefloor nihilistic rocker that chain smokes Camels and doesn’t like your face.

“We shot dope ’til the money ran out,” McMurtry sneers repeatedly at one point as the grinding music falls away.

The song is a natural album-opener. It’s also a natural concert-opener. So watch out for it at McMurtry’s show at the Charleston Pour House on Sept. 23.

A song like that is typically recorded best on the first take, and that’s what you’re hearing on McMurtry’s new album. In fact, it’s not even really a take, per se.

“It was a complete accident,” McMurtry told the Charleston City Paper in a recent interview. “It happened our first week in studio. We used to perform ‘Laredo’ in our live sets, but we hadn’t done it in a while, so we decided to rehearse it. We’d already set up in the studio, and we had the drum sound dialed in. So we figured we’d just record the rehearsal.”

Now it’s the intro to a brilliant new collection of songs, McMurtry’s 11th. Artists from Jason Isbell to the Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood to John Mellencamp (who produced McMurtry’s first two albums) have praised his songwriting. Author Stephen King went so far as to say, “James McMurtry may be the truest, fiercest songwriter of his generation.”

That gift is on display on the title track.

“The black dog and the wanderin’ boy/ Come around every night,” McMurtry intones over a slow-burn, creeping rocker. “The wanderin’ boy never gets any older/ The black dog doesn’t bite/They oughta both go away when I take my meds/But they don’t.”

The song, about a man’s eerie hallucinations as he dies, is loosely based on James’ father, acclaimed author Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove), who died in 2021. He began hallucinating before he passed, and there was one vision that kept recurring that inspired his son.

“After my father passed away, my stepmom asked me if he’d ever talked about his hallucinations with me, and he hadn’t. She asked if he’d ever mentioned the black dog and the wandering boy, and he never mentioned that.”

—James McMurtry

“After my father passed away, my stepmom asked me if he’d ever talked about his hallucinations with me, and he hadn’t,” McMurtry said. “She asked if he’d ever mentioned the black dog and the wandering boy, and he never mentioned that. And I used that image to create a fictional character.”

The album’s tough, wiry sound comes courtesy of producer/musician Don Dixon, a key figure in the Athens, Ga., music scene of the early 1980s. A couple of albums ago, McMurtry said he needed to go back to “producer school,” and Dixon’s bare-bones approach and decades of experience as a

musician made him the perfect fit.

“If I’m producing myself, I can’t always tell what’s happening while it’s happening,” he said. “I have to go back into the control room and listen to it. What I like about working with Don is that he saves you a lot of time. He likes to cut live in the studio and so do I.”

In addition to Dixon, who pitched in on everything from baritone guitar to trombone on the album, and guest musicians like Americana star Sarah Jarosz, McMurtry brought his tough-and-tested road band into the studio to record the basic tracks.

Drummer Daren Hess, guitarist Tim Holt and the bass player known only as Cornbread have played with McMurtry for years, and the lived-in feel they bring to the music makes them sound like the ultimate garage band that just happens to feature one of America’s greatest songwriters. That’s the unit that will be on the Pour House stage.

McMurtry, in his typically dry, taciturn way, is slyly affectionate about that longtime band.

“I guess Cornbread is the new guy,” he says. “He’s only been in the band about 15 years. We hadn’t done much in the studio together, but it really worked here.”

IF YOU WANT TO GO: Doors open at 7 p.m., Sept. 23, Charleston Pour House, 1977 Maybank Highway, James Island. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door: charlestonpourhouse.com
