New book sheds different light on Vesey revolt

By Herb Frazier A new book by historian James O’Neil Spady suggests that Black freedman Denmark Vesey was not the sole leader of the failed 1822 plot to kill White Charlestonians before a planned escape to Haiti.

Two enslaved men revealed the pending attack, which led to the execution of 35 enslaved people, including Vesey, a carpenter, free man of color and a leader in an outlawed Black church.

Spady, an associate professor at Soka University of America in California, said he was inspired to dig deeper into the Vesey uprising after reading a startling 2001 essay

by John Hopkins University historian Michael P. Johnson. It Spady suggested Vesey and enslaved people did not plan the uprising but White Charlestonians concocted it as a ruse to kill Black people.

Spady said his book, Take Freedom: Recovering the Fugitive History of the Denmark Vesey Affair, is a response to Johnson’s premise and the underutilization by other historians of two unpublished legislative copies of the original trial records stored in the S.C. Department of Archives and History in Columbia. The new book is available on pre-sale from the University of North Carolina Press with delivery by midor late-December.

Different trial records

After the trials that led to the executions, the city of Charleston released An Official Report of the Trials of Sundry Negroes, Charged with an Attempt to Raise an Insurrection in the State of South Carolina.

Shortly after it was released, the original but now lost court records were copied to create two nearly identical handwritten versions of the trial records. An 80-page report was made for the S.C. House of Representatives, and a 100-page document

Lowcountry Land Trust protects McClellanville entrance The Lowcountry Land Trust earlier this month announced the permanent conservation protection of a key landmark property at the gateway to McClellanville in partnership with the town.

The partnership will safeguard 745 feet along U.S. Highway 17 and 415 feet along North Pinckney Street, the scenic entrance to the town. The measure will also transform the area into a public green space with two symbolic grand live oaks. The effort is a tribute to the town’s rural character and natural beauty.

The property will transfer directly from Lowcountry Land Trust to the town of McClellanville, which will immediately place a conservation easement on the land to ensure its permanent protection.

This project builds on a series of recent conservation successes in McClellanville, including projects like the Deerhead Oak (2023), Silver Hill Plantation (2023) and the Farm at McClellanville (2025). —City Paper staff

went to the S.C. Senate.

Spady argues historians have relied too much on the city’s 174page published report and not enough on the unpublished House and Senate versions of the court records.

When taken all together, Spady said, they show Vesey was not the sole leader of the planned uprising, but he was among a diverse community of enslaved Africans and free people of color who secretly planned the attack.

Spady also said he is the first historian to determine who produced the House and Senate versions of the reports, and he is the first to explain how they were made.

Handwritten notes

During the investigation of the uprising and trials, two lead judges took handwritten notes.

These notes were the first official trial account. Since then, they have been accidentally or purposefully destroyed or they are missing, Spady said.

Historians have assumed the court produced the House and Senate versions of the records. But Spady said his meticulous analysis of the House and Senate copies and other documents not seen before show that then-South Carolina Gov. Thomas Bennett hired Charleston clerk Christopher Jennerette, who was not part of the trials, to make copies of the judges’ notes that were given to the legislature.

Bennett pleaded for the court’s leniency in its sentences of death for three of his enslaved workers. Bennett believed the evidence was not strong enough to prove his enslaved people were involved in the uprising.

“He didn’t deny that there was a plan and a desire to do it, but he said the evidence was very thin and a sentence of death was

A new book argues Denmark Vesey was not the sole leader of an attempted 1822 slave uprising excessive,” Spady said.

Bennett didn’t use his authority as governor to pardon his enslaved people because to do so would have been too explosive politically, Spady said.

The hangings that followed a series of trials were the largest number of executions ever ordered by a U.S. civilian court. Spady contends that following the executions, Vesey and the others were quickly buried on what is now the campus of the Medical University of South Carolina.

Spady also tries to settle an ongoing debate in Charleston over where Vesey worshiped. In April 1817, Vesey completed the CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Thousands expected Saturday at No Kings protest in Columbia

By Skyler Baldwin Thousands of people from across the Palmetto State are expected at 1:30 p.m.

Saturday at the Statehouse for what is expected to be part of the nation’s largest organized protest in history.

A coalition of civil rights groups is pulling together millions of participants in more than 2,500 events in each state, Europe and Canada.

South Carolina organizers want people to rally at the Statehouse and then march 1.3 miles to the governor’s mansion.

The nationwide protests coincide with an ongoing government shutdown, threatening federal workers and services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in several U.S. cities and the Trump administration’s musings about invoking the Insurrection Act to quash political dissent.

“We are under an authoritarian regime right now in the United States,” said Charleston County Democratic Party Chair Pastor Thomas Dixon. “But there are people who really want to preserve democracy.

“I don’t want a different form of government,” he added. “I’m very good with democracy, even though it hasn’t necessarily treated people of color in the best way. I believe our government is one that is designed to work for everyone Dixon when effectively applied.”

The massive protest follows the successful No Kings rallies that took place in June.

“The first version was very successful,” Indivisible Charleston organizer Kristy Kinney said. “It was the largest protest in American history, and it was organized by ordinary folks who wanted to show our dissent to this blatant authoritarianism.

What to do if you’re arrested or detained The American Civil Liberties Union has several lists that remind protesters of legal rights as well as give advice for avoiding more dangerous interactions with law enforcement: • Do not argue, resist or obstruct the police, even if they are violating your rights.

• If you are under arrest, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent, and ask for a lawyer immediately.

• You have the right to make a local phone call. Police are not allowed to listen.

• You do not have to consent to a search of yourself or your belongings.

Police may “pat down” your clothing if they suspect you have a weapon and may search you after an arrest.

• If you believe your rights have been violated, write down everything you can remember, get contact information for witnesses, photograph any injuries and file a written complaint with the agency’s internal affairs division or civilian complaint board.

“We’re witnessing people who were born here be kidnapped by masked thugs with no accountability, and they’re filming it all,” she added. “It’s so beyond the pale that people are ready to have our voices heard and to gather and celebrate the freedoms that we have.”

Smaller rallies planned

Two other rallies are scheduled near Charleston for those unable to make it to Columbia. Protesters will gather in

Summerville from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Dorchester County offices at 500 N. Main St. Another protest will be held in North Charleston from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at 5201 Ashley Phosphate Road.

Dixon said he will attend both local protests.

“The larger protest in Columbia — the optics are always better,” Dixon said. “But I am one who believes that organizing needs to begin at the local level.

“One of the problems we see happening, especially under this authoritarian regime, is that these people are bullies,” he added. “And one way that bullies continue to thrive is that they don’t get any pushback. When we gather for these protests, big and small, we’re showing the bullies that we’re not going to be pushed around. We are going to stand up. We’re going to say something.”

According to an Oct. 14 press release, the rally in North Charleston is specifically in response to S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson’s June claim that No Kings protesters and “outside instigators” were threatening to bring violence and chaos to our communities.”

The release said protest organizers dismissed Wilson’s claims and filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking the factual basis for his claims. The documents they received had no mention of “outside agitators,” “violence” or “chaos” — and one explicitly stated that there was “no current or verifiable intelligence” that would warrant such claims.

“The attorney general of South Carolina intentionally used his office to spread fear and division, with no evidence to back it up,” S.C. attorney Gustave “Tree” Martschink, the person who submitted the FOIA request, said in a press release. “Alan Wilson’s behavior was a dangerous and calculated attempt to intimidate peaceful protesters and poison public discourse.”

Stay safe while protesting

Kinney said she understands many people who want to join the protests are fearful of law enforcement. Officers, however, will be present at the Columbia protest, Kinney said, mostly to protect attendants from counter-protesters.

“Just like Donald Trump, these people want you to get mad, throw something, throw a punch,” she said. “By remaining calm, disengaging and just ignoring them, we will be more effective. … We are a nonviolent, peaceful organization.”

Kinney added that Indivisible Charleston encourages people to peacefully comply with any and all commands given by law enforcement during the protest.

Dixon agreed, saying peaceful protests were one of the things that made the civil rights movement successful. He pointed to more modern forms of peaceful protest as great examples, including Portland protesters dressed in costumes, dancing and riding hoverboards during small rallies.

“This stands against the picture that has been painted of hostile protesters in the street, which is meant to trigger unfair responses from law enforcement and those who may want to do us harm,” Dixon said.

“The key is always to not engage. Do not interact. Do not let these people get under your skin. Continue to stay focused on the reason you are out. Nonviolent protest is the only means to success.”

By Jack O’Toole Ninety years ago this month, S.C. Gov. Olin D. Johnston tried to impose his will on the state Highway Department by ordering a company of machine-gun-wielding National Guardsmen to take it by force.

This year, state lawmakers are taking a less confrontational approach with the appointment of a bipartisan S.C. House committee to study potential reform of the agency, now called the S.C. Department of Transportation (SCDOT).

The last time that the legislature really looked at roads was in 2017, when lawmakers raised the gas tax from $0.16 to $0.28 per gallon — closer to the national average of $0.33 per gallon, though still leaving the average resident paying only about $200 a year for roads.

But as S.C. Secretary of Transportation Justin Powell told Statehouse Report on Oct. 9, those new gas tax dollars were mostly earmarked for long-overdue road repairs — not expansion of the already overburdened system.

“It was a fix-it-first bill to overcome 30 years of deferred maintenance on the system,” Powell said. “And we’ve worked hard to deliver on that.”

According to state records, SCDOT has repaved almost 10,000 miles of roadways since that bill passed, with traffic fatalities falling 20% on completed projects. But now, Powell explained, the state needs to address several structural challenges, including:

said. “That’s what the committee is trying to solve.”

Preparing to legislate

Since August, the House Ad Hoc SCDOT Modernization Committee has held four public meetings around the state, gathering testimony from state agencies, business leaders and citizens. The committee is next expected to meet in Charleston and Sumter. No dates have been announced.

“We’re listening to folks about what SCDOT is doing well and where it’s falling short,” said S.C. Rep. Shannon Erickson, the Beaufort County Republican who co-chairs the committee.

The goal, she said in an interview, is to gather enough information to be able to legislate when lawmakers return in January.

“At this point,” she said, “everything is on the table.”

As for what that “everything” is, state transportation officials say the proposed solutions are likely to fall into two major buckets — one labelled “More Money” and another marked “More Bang for the Buck.”

On the revenue side, the committee is expected to consider higher fees on electric vehicles, which don’t contribute to roads via the gas tax, and additional “newcomer” taxes to offset some of the cost of population growth.

But the committee’s real focus is • SCDOT operates the fourth largest stateexpected to be on the second bucket owned road system in the country, with — making SCDOT’s existing dollars 41,000 miles of roadway that need regular go further. And there, lawmakers are maintenance. expected to look at two major areas where • Since 2020, S.C. has consistently ranked other states have achieved savings: proamong the five fastest growing states in curement and permitting. the country, creating intense demand for In terms of procurement, the goal is new roadways. to speed up the process by shortening • Road construction costs have exploded bidding periods that add time and costs across the U.S., rising more than 100% to projects without adding value.

“

If approached the right way, the modernization commission can make a huge difference in the state. But it can’t just be about building roads — public transit has to be a part of that conversation.”

—Mike Seekings

Currently eight states, including California and Texas, participate in the program. They say it has allowed them to better align the timing of reviews with state priorities, ensuring that permitting is complete by the time major transportation projects are ready to break ground.

Also in the mix, and with significant public support at committee meetings to date: more state resources for public transportation and bikeped options.

Charleston Area Regional Transit Authority Chairman Mike Seekings called that broader focus “critical.”

“If approached the right way, the modernization commission can make a huge difference in the state,” Seekings said. “But it can’t just be about building roads — public transit has to be a part of that conversation.”

That issue is expected to be vetted at a future committee meeting, Erickson said, along with the larger subject of devolution — that is, turning some state roads over to local counties to manage.

“In many cases, they could do it more efficiently,” Erickson said. “They’re afraid they just wouldn’t be able to afford it. It’s up to us to make sure we figure out a way to make that work.”

Some of the people who were questioned about the uprising talked about it without mentioning Vesey, Spady said.

It is unlikely that Vesey, an established and older free man of color, the professor said, would have had the access and ability to break through the cultural and language barriers of a diverse enslaved community to organize a revolt.

“The more reasonable thing to say is the court was prejudiced against Denmark Vesey, and they couldn’t believe enslaved people would uprise against them,” Spady said. “They didn’t like that there was (Vesey), this critic of slavery, in their midst.”

Blotter of the Week

A Mount Pleasant man on Sept. 30 reportedly harvested several sweetgrass plants in front of a U.S. Highway 17 bank, loaded up a not-so-inconspicuous green moped and headed north. The “dozens” of security cameras surrounding the bank’s property captured the man, the moped and his license plate, officials said — but couldn’t spot any common sense.

The investigation is ongoing.

Slim pickings A North Charleston man on Oct. 4 flagged down police and told officers that his phone had been stolen. He told police it was an iPhone 12 with a cracked screen and no tracking service or known serial number, but the suspects were reportedly driving in a white Chevy with an unknown tag in an unknown direction. Got it, boss. Guess it’s time for an upgrade.

Morning shift problem A West Ashley woman on Sept. 26 called Charleston police after she was locked inside the gate at West Ashley Park on Mary Ader Ave. Officers told her they did not have a master key to public parks and would be unable to help her.

Later, officials arrived to cut the lock so she could drive home, leaving the park gate unlocked overnight.

EDITORIAL

City Paper backs transparency candidates in Charleston, Mount Pleasant elections M

asked ICE agents who terrorize immigrant communities. National Guard troops deployed into blue states for little reason. A federal government in shutdown mode because Congress and the President can’t play in the Washington sandbox.

These current national political experiments with dysfunction may have a trickle-down effect in municipal elections on Nov. 4. Why? Because while local voters might feel they have little impact nationally, they can easily head to the polls on the first Tuesday in November and make their voices heard to make a bigger-than-usual difference.

In fact, this season’s municipal elections feel even more important than usual. Five of six Charleston City Council seats are competitive. Nine candidates are vying for four seats in Mount Pleasant, where the incumbent mayor is also on the ballot. Other smaller communities also are fielding dozens of candidates.

This year, candidates are facing a common theme — how local government can work, including issues of how they will confront secrecy and bolster transparency. With these issues in mind, here’s a look at our 2025 endorsements in Charleston and Mount Pleasant.

Charleston City Council

Views 10.17.2025

District 2: No endorsement. Candidate Abraham Champagne, however, admits there “have been some efforts to sidestep transparency, which I do not agree with and will question if elected.”

District 4: Aaron Polkey, a native newcomer to elective

politics, says he’ll support private council sessions within the narrow confines of state law and “object when scopes of discussion stretch Freedom of Information Act beyond its good-faith intent.”

District 6: Ben D’Allesandro, a well-known local businessman who says he’ll oppose irresponsible development.

“I believe transparency is essential to public trust. … Our business should be conducted in the open.”

District 10: Stephen Bowden, a first-term incumbent who says “we all need to strive for transparency in our decisionmaking at all times.” Let’s give him another term to speak out more often against secret, private sessions.

District 12: Leslie Skardon, a newcomer with a track record of positive nonprofit work, wants more focus on James Island. She also believes public input is critical in decisionmaking: “I would hope we use executive sessions minimally and only when justifiably necessary.”

Mount Pleasant races

Mayor: No endorsement. While we believe incumbent Mayor Will Haynie has done a good job, there’s no endorsement in the race as none of the mayoral candidates completed a City Paper survey.

Town council: Out of nine candidates, we endorse just three for the four seats that are open: Incumbent Mike Tinkey and newcomers Jenny DeSart and Kathryn Whitaker.

DeSart, in particular, has a top priority to make sure town government is transparent. Whitaker says she’ll push for clear communication by the town with residents and business owners.

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 infra structure and make smart climate change decisions about develop ment, 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.

OPINION

From Dude-ism to anti-fascism By Andy Brack Seems like news and discussions these days have a lot more focus on “-isms.” Hardly a day goes by that you won’t hear about authoritarianism or fascism or racism, sexism, ageism or something else.

Views 10.17.2025

There are even crazy-sounding religious -isms like Frisbeetarianism (comedian George Carlin’s pitch that someone’s soul gets stuck on a roof after death) and “Dude-ism” for people who advocate the odd, harmonious lifestyle based on the satirical performance by actor Jeff Bridges of The Dude in The Big Lebowski.

In art, you’ve got Dadaism, minimalism, pointillism, cubism, surrealism, impressionism, and on and on.

But it’s the political -isms that seem to be all over the place these days, perhaps because in our increasingly polarized society, there’s a national need to figure out the tribe in which people live.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation and disinformation about some of these -isms. In particular, it’s around the use of the new term “antifa,” which MAGA America has coined to stand for anti-fascism. Truth be told, there is no real or viable antifa organization — despite what the conservative talking heads purport. Rather, if it even exists at all beyond the brains of people who want to divide America, it’s an unorganized political philosophy that espouses, wait for it, democracy, not anything related to an organized conspiracy to bring down the country. So don’t get suckered into the fear that there’s some big antifa terrorist organization out there, despite the nonsense you may read on some social media.

To understand what “antifa” even means, you first should understand what fascism is. Remember World War II? That was a war against Nazi fascism, with fascism being the far-right form of authoritarian uber-nationalism noted for its dictatorial power (i.e., Adolf Hitler), forced suppression of dissent (no freedom of the press or speech) and a regimented society.

So, then, the people fighting the fascists, like the American, British, French and global patriots in World War II, were fighting for freedom and democracy — the exact opposite of fascism.

Therefore, for people today to characterize groups as “antifa” who are protesting the right-wing MAGA policies of, say, President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress, is wholly inappropriate and just plain wrong to use that term. Those protesters are pro-democracy, not against it.

Quite frankly, anyone who really believes there’s an antifa movement taking over the United States has got more than one screw loose after drinking a bunch of KoolAid. So before you start throwing around discussions laced with a bunch of political -isms, it might be good to study up a bit:

10

• Anarchism: Belief that government is unnecessary, causes harm and needs to be abolished.

• Authoritarianism: Form of government concentrating political power in a single leader or small group, either of which have little or no tolerance for opposition.

• Communism: Form of socialism that seeks to replace private property with collective ownership.

• Conservatism: Political philosophy that emphasizes traditional institutions and values. It generally is opposed or skeptical of big changes, preferring continuity and stability.

• Liberalism: Political philosophy that concentrates on individual rights and liberties and the rule of law. Classical liberalism focuses on limiting government interference, while the more modern version promotes equality, opportunity, social justice and social welfare.

• Nationalism: Belief that a nation’s interests supersede every other nation’s. It’s rooted in identity politics.

• Populism: Approach that focuses on representing regular people against a corrupt or elitist establishment.

• Progressivism: A political philosophy similar to modern liberalism that concentrates on social reform for regular people through more active government.

• Socialism: A broad political and economic philosophy that highlights collective ownership and equality. A form is social democracy, which seeks to reform capitalism through social programs and democratic regulations.

Driving cab, working in prison helped Savage’s legal career

By Andy Brack

Charleston defense lawyer Andy Savage has long been the guy who you want on your side if you are in real trouble. In his illustrious five-decade career, he’s worked with everyone from cold-blooded murderers and fraudsters to grieving families and survivors of cold-blooded shootings.

By this time next year — probably sooner — he’ll be retired, hanging up his legal spurs after 50 years in the state’s courtrooms. He’ll spend more time with his wife, Cheryl, four children and 10 grandchildren. He’ll read. He’ll relax a bit. And he’ll remember the good he says is in everyone, not the bad some of them have shown.

Keys to success

Looking back, Savage says the best thing he learned that made him a much sought-after attorney came from two years of driving a taxi in New York City as a student at Fordham University. He said he learned to listen and communicate with a wide variety of people.

“There’s something intimate about a cab driver and a passenger because you don’t know them,” he said earlier this month, adding that many of his fares seemed to be in some kind of personal crisis.

“A great attribute to driving a cab is listening,” he said. “People just wanted to be acknowledged and empathized with and sympathized with. And I’m talking about a cross-section of people. … People have a desire to communicate. It’s an element that helped me a lot — just listening.”

Savage, 77, is a native of Kingston, N.Y., where his father, a civil engineer, was a key player in maintaining New York City’s revered water reservoirs, and his mother taught at the Wiltwyck School for Boys, a reform school with links to Eleanor Roosevelt.

“I had a lot of opportunities I wouldn’t otherwise have had because it was a private institution,” recalling when he met people like boxer Floyd Patterson and singer Harry Bellafonte.

Later at Fordham, Savage remembers working at a New York deli. He still thinks about one customer who didn’t talk much but communicated with her eyes. Sometimes, when she reached

that everyone has a backstory.

More helpful experiences came while working as a law clerk at Kirkland Correctional Institution in Columbia while a student at the University of South Carolina School of Law. After law school, Savage started work at the Fifth Circuit Solicitor’s Office in Columbia to prosecute crimes by prisoners.

Then he became a regular prosecutor. And it wasn’t long before he went to work for the late S.C. Attorney General Dan McLeod, where he became chief trial counsel in the office’s criminal division.

In 1980, Savage moved to Charleston after his wife, Jacque, was diagnosed with leukemia. They thought it would be better for her, a Charleston native, to be closer to family.

She passed away the following year, the same year Savage went into private practice.

By 1986, Savage ran for Charleston County Council in the days before singlemember districts — and won. His public image soared as he became adept at fielding media inquiries in two areas — legal issues and county business.

“I really enjoyed it,” recalled Savage, who served two terms. “I didn’t run (again) because I do believe in term limits, but more importantly, we were trying to get African Americans in office.”

Remarried to Cheryl Savage that year, Savage then turned his attention to his growing practice.

Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co. welcomes Yellan’s familiar, lively flavors

Cuisine 10.17.2025

By Connelly Hardaway

Don’t call what you now get at Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co. (EOBC) “bar food.”

Chef Alex Yellan is cooking up fresh, inventive dishes in the King Street kitchen.

Yellan took the stoves and burners in July, bringing both familiar and furtherafield flavors to the brewery’s menu.

Think: charred cauliflower with almond mole, kale salad topped with katsu chicken, falafel wrap with chipotle tahini.

How does one bring a fresh perspective to brewery food?

“It’s certainly a challenge,” Yellan said.

Naturally, some menu items do particularly well at an establishment that specializes in beer.

“Our cheeseburger is our equivalent to the blonde ale [one of EOBC’s most popular brews]. That’s something, despite whatever changes that we’ve made and continue to plan on making, that doesn’t go anywhere,” Yellan said. “We’re not going to shoot our-

selves in the foot.”

So yes, you can always get the classic cheeseburger — a smashed thick burger topped with American cheese, lettuce, pickles, onion and burger sauce — but that doesn’t mean that you have to.

You could also order the pastrami burger, topped with house pastrami, which could then be a gateway to the “roast beef ’n’ cheddar,” served with horseradish on an onion roll.

“I enjoy trying to challenge the dining public,” Yellan said. “But there are obviously limitations there from the business standpoint.”

Business as usual (sort of)

EOBC is currently in the midst of an intense renovation project which has turned its outdoor patio area that it shares with neighboring restaurant Rancho Lewis, into CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

10 places where you can do a quick lunch in Charleston In a city known for food, finding a quick, affordable lunch is sometimes, well, just plain challenging. Whether you need a spot for a hassle-free lunch meeting or are looking to fuel up before heading back to the office, we wanted to find out where people go when they need an easy lunch.

Here are 10 top lunch spots enjoyed by readers, based on an unscientific Instagram poll (listed in alphabetical order):

Burbage’s Grocery

Burbage’s Grocery is a neighborhood grocery store on Broad Street that offers everything from deli items to local products to prepared foods. A neighborhood favorite since 1946, this family-owned store scratches almost every lunch itch.

A variety of hot dogs are offered and a made-to-order deli counter has Boar’s Head meats and cheese. The cold cases hold items like deviled eggs, premade sandwiches and an outstanding pimento cheese. More: @burbagesonbroad on Facebook

and a new small bite menu available after 4 p.m., but its lunchtime salads got two thumbs up. Think a Caesar with crumbled bacon and grated egg, a Cobb with housemade ranch dressing or a carne asada salad with chimichurri marinated steak, all the veggies and a chipotle cilantro dressing.

Huriyali

Huriyali’s original location near Hampton Park is going strong along with a newer location in Riverland.

a messy, loud construction site.

Things should be back to normal — and better than ever before — later this fall, but in the meantime, the construction project is a bit of a pain.

Yellan said he knows what it’s like to work through growing pains. He’s already learned a lesson about verbiage from the first iteration of his EOBC menu.

“We do a smoked and grilled Thai pork lettuce wrap,” Yellan said. “When we called it ‘grilled pork collar’ we didn’t sell very much of it, but as soon as we called it a ‘Thai lettuce wrap,’ we doubled our sales on it.

“It’s [about] finding how to present these things that we find interesting in a way that’s the most broadly appealing way possible without pandering too much.”

Part of the balance of bringing what Yellan described as “fast” and “craveable” dishes to customers is considering the size and scope of EOBC. When the brewery’s outdoor area isn’t under construction, its size more than doubles the dining room.

When the place is really busy, servers and front of house staff have to be able to deliver food — and explain what dishes are — quickly.

Yellan said that one silver lining to the current construction dilemma is that business has slowed down, allowing the staff to focus on menu development and toying with ideas like themed nights. Noodle

Falafel with herbed chickpeas, chipotle tahini, turnip pickle, lettuce and tomato on pita night, anyone?

“I like the idea of changing people’s ideas a little bit at a time about what [food] goes with beer,” he said, noting that he’d like to think outside of the box of wings, nachos, pizza and hamburgers.

“We still have wings,” Yellan said. “We don’t do a buffalo wing — we do orange chicken wings. [It’s] finding those little nuggets that kind of help us to feel more excited and change people’s perspective on what is beer-related food.”

You can also build your own and any sandwich can be cold, heated, pressed or grilled.

Pink Cactus

If you find yourself at this Oaxacan-style Mexican restaurant during lunchtime, it might be hard to order just one thing.

The elote dip is Mexican street style corn with queso, jalapeño and onion and is a great starter before a taco plate or a torta.

Enchiladas come with green or red mole and are a delicious choice after snacking on queso fundido, baked cheese with roasted poblanos. And if it’s a boozy lunch, pick from margaritas, a mezcal negroni or a paloma. More: pinkcactuschs.com

Queen Street Grocery

As Queen Street Grocery’s website states, it’s “not your average corner store” and it practices what it preaches. Classics like a Cuban and Italian are offered along with the Tenacious Turkey, ciabatta stacked with turkey, brie, green apple, sprouts and honey basil aioli. The Queen Street salad has goat cheese, walnuts and green apples on spinach and the grocery’s Caesar and chef salads are delicious iterations of the classics.

Saffron Bakery

Saffron Bakery has been serving Charleston from its East Bay location since 1986.

Mediterranean and Persian flavors are found with fresh baked bread and delicious pastries.

Falafel with hummus is a great pairing with the pearl couscous salad containing roasted peppers, onions, garbanzo beans, olives, fresh herbs, lemon olive dressing and grilled tofu.

Gyros come with lamb or chicken and the shirazi salad has diced English cucumber, Roma tomatoes, red onions, herbs and lemon juice.

You can also find classics like a tuna melt, a turkey club and a fried chicken sandwich.

New East Side gallery debuts bold, uplifting solo show

A deep chalkboard black blankets backgrounds that look unfathomably deep.

Glowing greens take hold, too, advancing on the canvas in brilliant bluster. Hot pinks assert their presence with a balls-out passion that dares you to remain unmoved.

If Full Spectrum, the charged and colorbusting solo exhibition of works by Demetrius Bing, is any bellwether of the potential of the new Drummond Studio Gallery, Charleston has just landed a magnetic, meaningful new addition to its visual Bing arts scene.

From one sleek, gallery-white wall to the next, every eyeful manages to somehow to converge the free-form crude and the achingly elegant, the unbridled rough and the palpable vulnerable, offering a vibrant, visceral encounter with contemporary Charleston art that our community surely craves.

While the exhibition is mainly on view by appointment, this month the virtual gallery offers two opportunities on the heels of its recent opening, so that the public can engage with the work.

Coming together as an aggregate portrait of the self-taught artist, we follow from one work to the next as Bing paints his way out of a painful past to burst forth with unchecked torrents of color and abstracted clarity of vision.

Reflective of Bing’s own childhood, the show starts on the dark side, via an exploration of his own painful experiences. That personal story and emotion resonated with gallerist Arun Drummond, drawn by seeing “an African-American man who is not afraid to talk about trauma and mental health and a lot of these subjects that are sometimes taboo in the African-American community, to see that he was open enough to not only talk about these things, but express it in his art and make it something that other people could connect to.”

Near the entrance are works reminiscent of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Some take the form of squares of black cloth rendered fre-

Illinois-born pianist, bandleader and songwriter Brian Culbertson will play the Charleston Music Hall on Oct. 7

Culbertson brings jazz big band sounds to Charleston Brian Culbertson has scored hit singles on just about every Billboard chart there is.

Culbertson, an Illinois-born pianist, bandleader and songwriter who performs at the Charleston Music Hall on Oct. 26, is primarily classified as a jazz musician.

But he’s hit the R&B, Pop, Contemporary Jazz and Adult Soul charts with singles like “Always Remember,” “That’s Life,” “Your Smile” and “Been Around The World.”

In fact, Culbertson has more than 40 #1 singles to his credit, along with a handful of NAACP Image Award and Soul Train Award nominations.

Culbertson will be playing music from his 31-year career in Charleston, but those songs are sure to sound a lot more powerful onstage. Culberson will be at the piano at center stage surrounded by a 10-piece band.

His new album, Day Trip, is big in every sense of the word. There are guest spots by stars like saxophonist Branford Marsalis, funk/jazz bassist Marcus Miller, former Prince percussionist Sheila E. and smooth jazz veteran Kirk Whalum.

The music itself feels big, too. The relentless funk jam “On the Road” is layered with horns, keyboards and percussion and mixes fusion jazz with an irresistible

dance beat. “With You” is an expansive but sparse ballad with layers of keyboards. And “U-Turn,” which finds Culbertson jamming side-by-side with Marsalis, flirts with a stomping rock groove.

So that’s why he’s bringing a big band along with him. But it’s not a classic, Count Basie-style orchestra by any means.

“The idea behind this larger band basically spurred from the music on the album, and me thinking, ‘How do I bring the music that is on the record appropriately to a live show?’ ” Culbertson said in a recent interview with the Charleston City Paper.

“And the answer was that I had to bring a lot of people.”

Culbertson has his regular backing band featuring a guitarist, bassist and drummer, but he’s also added two keyboard players, a percussionist and a fourpiece horn section. Keyboardist Nicholas Cole joined because he co-wrote and appeared on most of Day Trip.

“For this particular tour, the horn section parts on the album were so integral to the music that I really wanted it represented well live,” Culbertson said of the extra musicians. “And the percussionist adds a lot of excitement and atmosphere to the show.”

Longtime fans can expect to hear some deep cuts among the familiar favorites.

same time remains tempered by fragile, tenetive lines that sometimes tend figurative. Classical busts and statues positioned throughout the show layered with generous, technicolor drips and strokes — a euphoric, recontextualizing color-washing of classical forms. On a central wall, a portrait of East Side’s legendary blacksmith Philip Simmons usher the neighborhood inside.

Drummond has underscored that the intention of the gallery is to make art accessible to all, and Full Spectrum delivers on this with Bing’s works. While illustrative of a visually sophisticated artist, they access raw emotion in all its complexity, coaxed curatorially with an arc from dark to light, from pain to healing to joy.

Life on Line

Drummond Studio Gallery opened in the fall fall at 12 Line St., a 1912 corner building with the gallery entrance on Hanover Street. Nearby, signs augur an artful, community-focused hub, the kind that would make an urban planner’s heart sing: the convivial City Lights Eastside bistro welcomes flowing crowds with good coffee and baked goods, as well as evening wine, pop-up menus and music. Nearby is the praised, popular Bintu Atelier, which serves West African-inspired fare.

“They have created a new sense of community, and I wanted to be a part of that,” said Drummond, who is also a Charlestonbased artist.

Culbertson CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21

now I have a group that’s really able to pull it off,” Culbertson said. “I’m taking certain songs from my records and putting them in my set because I thought they would be really cool to do, and because we can.”

He said he’sconfident that his audience, which has followed him from smooth jazz to funk to pop and back again, will love his new direction.

“I think the hardcore fanbase is really excited about this tour because they get to hear songs we don’t usually perform,” he said. “I think that real jazz fans are a unique set of folks that really appreciate music to a finer degree in terms of the complexity and the wide range of sounds and styles that we can play.”

“And to their credit,” he added, “they really come along for the ride wherever I go. Am I doing a funk record? Am I doing an R&B album or a jazz acoustic trio type thing? Whatever it is, they love music, and at the heart of it, they love real musicians and instruments. I have ZERO computer tracks running.”

Culbertson mentioned he’s looking forward to seeing some of those fans at

Virtual and by-appointment, the gallery has the contemporary feel of one on Broad Street or perhaps in Manhattan’s Chelsea district. A handsome shingle now swings outside the front door, telegraphing what to expect inside: the smartly refurbished main gallery rooms and two studio rooms — coveted in a city with scant affordable terrain in which to make art.

To help foster community, Drummond has also just joined the board of Redux Contemporary Art Center to lend to creative connectivity. A champion of local artists, he is a mentor of Bing. Drummond said he is committed to engaging with those from around the city, and around the block on the Eastside, a neighborhood he said has been overlooked and forgotten.

“For many years, it has had a dark cloud over it, but that is starting to change,” he said. the community knows that they are welcome in my space.”

After landing the lease last February, the Eastside resident said he learns more every day about his gallery home.

“Bringing the arts to this community would help to enrich it in a way that has never been done before. And as I do it, I want to make sure that the community knows that they are welcome in my space.”

This month, the by-appointment gallery will open its doors for two public events surrounding Full Spectrum. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 17, the gallery will host open studios to see the exhibition. And from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 23, the gallery will host an artist talk to mark the closing of the show. More: drummondstudiogallery.com.

the Music Hall on Oct. 26, and that he’s grateful that they’ve allowed him to fully explore all of his musical interests.

“I’m just going with my gut,” he said. “I like to make music that is interesting to me at that time and place. And thankfully, jazz is so broad that it allows me to experiment under that umbrella.”

star. But I must also tell you how important it is to be clear and exact. Even a slight error in formulating your wish could result in only a partial fulfillment. And aiming your plea at the wrong star could cause a long delay. Sorry I have to be so complicated, dear Libra. The fact is, though, it’s not always easy to know precisely what you yearn for and to ask the correct source to help you get it. But here’s the good news: You are currently in a phase when you’re far more likely than usual to make all the right moves.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During World War II, Scorpio actor and inventor Hedy Lamarr developed frequency-hopping technology to prevent enemies from jamming torpedo guidance systems.

Her solution rapidly switched radio frequencies in hard-to-intercept patterns. The technology was so advanced that no one could figure out how to fully adopt it until years later. Engineers eventually realized that Lamarr’s invention was essential for WiFi, GPS and cell phone networks. In the coming weeks, Scorpio, you, too, have the potential to generate ideas that might not be ready for prime time but could ultimately prove valuable. Trust your instincts about future needs. Your visionary solutions are laying the groundwork for contributions that won’t fully ripen for a while.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I guarantee you won’t experience a meltdown, crack-up or nervous collapse in the coming weeks, Sagittarius.

What unfolds may bring a similar intensity, but in the opposite direction: a personal breakthrough, a cavalcade of illumination or a surge of awakening.

I urge you to be alert and receptive for relaxing flurries of sweet clarity; or streams of insights that rouse a liberating integration; or a confluence of welcome transformations that lead you to unexpected healing. Can you handle so many blessings? I think you can. But you may have to expand your expectations to welcome them all.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1959, a Swedish engineer named Nils Bohlin designed the three-point seatbelt, revolutionizing car safety. Working for Volvo, he insisted the design must be made freely available to all car manufacturers. Bohlin understood that saving lives was more important than hoarding credit or profit. Capricorn, your assignment now is to give generously without fussing about who gets the applause. A solution, insight or creation of yours could benefit many if you share it without reservation. Your best reward will be observing the beneficial ripple effects, not holding the patent.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your exploratory adventures out on the frontiers have been interesting and mostly successful, Aquarius. Congrats! I love how you have avoided tormenting yourself with self-doubt and roused more boldness than you’ve summoned in a long time. You have managed to ignore useless and superstitious fears even as you have wisely heeded the clues offered by one particular fear that was worth considering. Please continue this good work! You can keep riding this productive groove for a while longer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In Korean tradition, *mudangs* are shamans who endure a personal crisis or illness and emerge with supernatural powers. They perform rituals to seek the favor of spirits. They heal the ancestral causes of misfortune and ensure good fortune, prosperity, and wellbeing for the people they serve. I don’t mean to imply you’re following a similar path, Pisces. But I do think your recent discomforts have been like an apprenticeship that has given you enhanced capacity to help others. How will you wield your power to bless and heal?

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Life is tempting you to tiptoe to the brink of the threshold of the rawest truth, the wildest beauty and the most precious love.

Your ancestors are conspiring with your guardian angels to lure you into the secret heart of the inner sanctum of spiritual truth. I am totally sincere and serious. You now have a momentous opportunity — a thrilling opening to commune with subtle powers that could provide you with profound guidance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the forests of America’s Pacific Northwest, “nurse logs” lie fallen but fertile. These dead trees host seedlings, mosses, and new saplings that rise from their decaying trunks. I regard this as a powerful metaphor for you, Taurus. Something old in you is crumbling, like outdated beliefs, outmoded duties, or obsolete loyalties. Part of you may want to either grieve or ignore the shift. And yet I assure you that fresh green vitality is sprouting from that seemingly defunct thing. What new possibility is emerging from what was supposed to end?

Resurrection is at hand.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A deeper, wilder, smarter version of love is beckoning you from the horizon. Are you ready to head in its direction? I’m not sure you are. You may semi-consciously believe you already know what love is all about, and are therefore closed to learning more. It’s also possible that your past romantic wounds have made you timid about exploring unfamiliar terrain. Here’s my assessment: If you hope to get exposed to the sweeter, less predictable kinds of intimacy, you will have to drop some (not all) of your excessive protections and defenses. PS: At least one of your fears may be rooted in faulty logic.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Princess Diana transformed the British monarchy because she insisted that royal duty should include genuine emotional connection. Her generosity wasn’t merely ceremonial but was expressed through hands-on charity work. She had close contact with youth who had nowhere to live. She walked through minefields as part of her efforts to rid the planet of that scourge. She hugged people with AIDS at a time when many others feared such contact. “Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward,” she said. Her ability to maintain grace while remaining emotionally authentic reflected a genius for blending strength with sensitivity.

Can you guess her astrological sign? Cancerian, of course. Now is a perfect time for you to draw inspiration from her example. Express your wisely nurturing energy to the max!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Certain African lions in Kenya have no manes. Scientists theorize it’s an adaptation to heat or a reflection of extra aggressive hunting strategies. But symbolically, it challenges expectations: Is royalty still royalty without the crown? I bring this to your attention, Leo, because I suspect you will soon be asked to explore your power without its usual accouterments. Can you properly wield your influence if you don’t unleash your signature roar and dazzle? Will quiet confidence or understated presence be sufficiently magnetic?

Might you radiate even more potency by refining your fire? I think so. You can summon strength in subtlety and majesty in minimalism.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): During the next nine months, you will face a poignant and potentially inspiring choice: whether to wrangle with an endless tangle of mundane struggles, or else to expand your vision to the bigger picture and devote your energy intensely to serving your interesting, long-term dreams. I hope you choose the latter option! For best results, get clear about your personal definition of success, in contrast to the superficial definitions that have been foisted on you by your culture. Can you visualize yourself years from now, looking back on your life’s greatest victories? You’re primed to enter a new phase of that glorious work, rededicating yourself with precise intentions and vigorous vows.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’m pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to make a big wish upon a bright
