Happening Around Town

Vacations are over, the kids are back in school, and football fans are gearing up for tailgating. Between Capitol Market stocking up on mums and pumpkins, concerts by Jason Aldean and Alan Jackson at the Civic Center, and numerous chances to enjoy the cooler air of autumn, Charleston really know how to welcome in fall! At the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences, Garrison Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion Tour” is always a local favorite and the WV Symphony Orchestra’s new conductor, Lawrence Loh, will be making his highly anticipated debut this month.

Kanawha State Forest is hosting a series of hikes with knowledgeable naturalists and a thrilling “Birds of Prey” event on Sept. 16. The WV Fit Expo is an event that family fitness enthusiasts can enjoy. This includes participation with bodybuilders, powerlifters, personal trainers, CrossFit demonstrations, and even jiu-jitsu. Later in the month, the nighttime Glow Run 5-K is always a fun change of atmosphere for runners and walkers alike.

Charleston’s premiere multi-sport race, the “Capital City Challenge Run-Row-Ride” is a family-friendly event with a lot of challenges. And new for this year is a Standup Paddleboard division. Magic Island, which is the venue for the Capital City Challenge, is a 5 acre island, connected to the mainland. Magic Island gained its name due to the rise and fall of the Kanawha River level. At times, the island disappears underwater, as if “by magic”. It is open year round with activities planned according to the weather conditions.

It is a great place to bring the kids with their bikes, or dogs on their leashes, to burn off cabin fever energy!

Families with young children won’t want to miss the live version of Disney Junior’s “PJ Mask’s Time to be a Hero” at the Clay Center. Capitol Street will host Downtown Streetfest’s block party and the west side of town will be celebrating with OktoberWest 2017. Our regional airport, Yeager, is celebrating its 70th year with a free airshow that is sure to be extremely awesome!

Capitol Market continues its “Let’s Get Cooking” series with two demonstrations by Chef Paul Smith. After that, if you still need inspiration in the kitchen, you do not want to miss the “farm to table” dinner the market is hosting on the 16th. Contact the website for details as this event develops.

Cooler temperatures means the end of the popular lunchtime Brown Bag Concerts at Davis Park until next May. But, as the leaves turn and routines return to normal, there is a lot to enjoy as Charleston continues its hip and historic story!

Looking Back

By: M. Lynne Squires

...at the Charleston Civic Center

We can’t look back at the Charleston Civic Center without also looking forward. This timeline illustrates both the history and the future of the downtown facility.

1959: The Civic Center opened its doors to the community, boasting a Main Arena seating ,000, the Little Theater seating 750, and three meeting rooms as well as a kitchen and administrative o ces. Price tag for the new structure: $2.5 million 19 0: The Civic Center hosted President John F. Kennedy as his campaign tour made a key stop in Charleston.

19 : The NBA’s Philadelphia Warriors played there in February as a capacity crowd watched Wilt Chamberlain break the NBA all-time scoring record.

19 : The first major expansion saw the addition of 2, 00 seats to the west balcony of the Grand Arena, air conditioning installed, and an ice skating rink was added. The price tag? $1. million.

1975-7 : Elvis Presley performed five sellout shows.

197 : Ground was broken for the addition of a new coliseum. A two-story lobby would connect the existing Civic Center to the addition. Charleston city o cials recognized the need to expand the facility to adapt as a regional convention center. Cost? Over $29 million dollars.

19 3: The new convention hall opens after a year-long renovation. The Grand Arena was transformed into a Convention Hall, complete with twelve additional meeting rooms, a 52,000 square foot exhibit hall and banquet facility. $5 million George Washingtons paid the bill.

19 3: Two parking buildings were constructed that expanded the available parking for the Civic Center from 700 to over 2,000 spaces. Cost to park: over $9 million dollars.

199 : The Grand Hall is redressed with a new ceiling, paint, and lighting.

2000: The $9 million dollar expansion program resulted in the expansion of the Grand Hall by 10,000 sq ft. The unobstructed area can be divided into smaller sections. It is the region’s largest exhibit and banquet facility.

M. Lynne Squires’ book Letters to My Son – Reflections of Urban Appalachia at Mid-Century includes memories of The Diamond of her youth. www.mlynne.com

2001: The ice rink is converted into an exhibit hall.

200 : The Little Theater is renovated. The tab was $250,000.

2007: A CEO of a large youth rally organization outlined what the inadequacies of the facility were to the Civic Center staff. That prompted the Charleston Municipal Planning Commission to approve moving forward with the comprehensive renovation and expansion work you see now ongoing at the Civic Center.

2015: Construction begins in September. Remaining open through the construction proved challenging, but doable. Expected cost? Over $72 million dollars.

201 : The projected completion date of the fourth major renovation that will result in a facility capable of providing entertainment, business functions, sports events, and much more. Cost benefit to the region immeasurable.

The list of events held at the Civic Center through the years includes just about any type you can conjure. Plays and musicals, professional wrestling, proms and graduations, WV Sports Show, Capital City Arts and Crafts Show, show choir festivals, the circus, basketball conference tournaments, the Charleston Light Opera Guild performances, WV Hunting and Fishing Show, monster truck shows, memorable concerts of many kinds, and Disney on Ice. Everyone has memories associated with the Charleston Civic Center.

Thousands have stood in line in the freezing cold boiling hot everything in between weather to purchase precious tickets to a favorite group’s concert.

Others might recall standing for the national anthem at a sports event. Or standing to see over the heads in front of you at a festival seating concert.

Maybe your memory is seeing skaters glide across the ice. Whatever your memory, you can be assured that the new incarnation of the Charleston Civic Center is preparing to write another chapter in its history book.

To see an incredible time lapse video of the new construction, visit www. charlestonwvciviccenter.com. It’s amazing.

Next month we will be Looking Back at the Sunrise Museum.

“HYGGE”

GREAT

A Home for Everyone

design often is a success when the more obvious elements are in place. Well balanced colors, styles, and layouts are a MUST in every situation. But to make the home a Great Place to Live, consideration of function and needs of the residents is just as important!

Let’s take a look at a challenge recently taken by Cooporris18 when they were offered the opportunity to redeem a sadly cared for house in Huntington, WV. There were obvious elements that had to be in place such as colors, seating requirements, and accents to bring to life the new home for Alpha Chi Omega as they made the decision to move into a home that needed a LOT of TLC in a short period of time. The challenging part of getting this done on an important deadline was one factor but creating an inviting, stylish, and comfortable setting for a variety of people who would share the space was also critical in the plan.

Traffic flow was an obvious factor while following the needs of seating in all areas. Opening the wall between the foyer and the living room so that the original opening was restored allowed for ample seating by creating a feeling of one larger space. The use of matching sofas and chairs in each space also pulls the rooms together. Matching rugs also do this while defining the spaces as well!

Using the AXO colors was a “no-brainer” and that was one of the immediate elements determined in the design of the home. Our challenge was to use this successfully and tastefully in the first-floor common areas as well as in the third-floor multi-purpose space.

You will notice our balanced color scheme in shades of olive and scarlet in all areas.

The main dining room needed to accommodate 10 so finding a table that met the needs of seating and updated style was the challenge in this space. Adding a chandelier and server that stepped up the look was needed to once again offer a nod to the period of the home.

DAVE COOPER Space Planning & Interior Design

Dave Cooper 304-539-8592

The home is dated in the early 1900’s and with that in mind we knew we needed to combine style elements that respected the period and integrity of the structure while also offering a welcoming, comfortable, and up-to-date style.

The third floor offers ample space to meet, study, and enjoy social events. You will notice the same theme is carried out in this space as well.

MAKING HOME a better place to live 20 CharlestonHomeandLiving.com | SEPTEMBER 2017 Sep2017.020.indd 15

Finally, the use of accents to reflect on the house colors and name pull the concept together with perfection!

Listening to the needs and requirements, understanding the way the space will function, and designing a space that respects the house as well as those who will reside within is the whole idea! This home will be a Great Place to Live!

Driving a little more than four hours south of Charleston brings you to Asheboro, “the heart” of North Carolina. It is located near I-74 or US Route 220. While I had passed

by Asheboro a dozen times during my other travels, I never stopped. It turns out, Asheboro is a charming community with friendly locals and incredible Southern hospitality.

WHERE TO STAY IN ASHEBORO The Fairfield Inn and Suites Asheboro is perfect for your trip. Consider using your Marriott (or any hotel chain) reward points for a free stay. There is also a Hampton Inn and Comfort Inn in town. All three hotels are affordable (under $100) and offer complimentary breakfast.

32 CharlestonHomeandLiving.com | SEPTEMBER 2017 Sep2017.032.indd 2

WHERE TO DINE IN ASHEBORO While there are typical chain restaurants in Asheboro, there are also impressive local eateries, some of which are even farm-totable.

PawPaw’s Place is the local “greasy spoon”, though nothing about this friendly spot is greasy. Quite the contrary. PawPaw’s is serving yummy burgers, fries, hearty breakfasts, and other diner favorites. If you are craving pizza, the Time Square Pizzeria has the best in town. Want to eat traditional bar food while watching sports? Head to Kickback Jack’s, a North Carolina sports bar chain, whose motto is “eat, drink, and be merry”. Kickback Jack’s has pool tables and multiple TVs. Everything Under the Bun is

just that, a restaurant specializing in gourmet sandwiches & burgers, some with interesting combinations like the Beanie Weinee or the Mac & Cheese Burgers. Bonus, this is Cheerwine country so be sure to order one.

Not familiar? Cheerwine, a local soft drink with a hint of cherry, was invented in 1917 due to a sugar shortage during WWI. It is so good!

spend a good portion of your day here. You can feed giraffes, watch polar bears swim, admire the elephants, ride a carousel, or take a Dino bus. There are plenty of animal sightings, all in their natural habitat. The North Carolina Zoo also has a wonderful aviary with 3,000 tropical plants and exotic birds. Pro tip: Animals are more active in the earlier part of the day, so plan your visit accordingly.

Interested in a visit to the American Classic Motorcycle Museum? It is small but mighty. Speaking of mighty, the Nascar King Richard Petty’s museum is located only 10-15 minutes away in the town of Randleman. You don’t have to be a NASCAR fan to love every minute of this intriguing museum, filled with winning cars, Petty family memorabilia, awards, and even a working garage. You might even see Richard Petty himself, like we did.

The whole family will enjoy zip lining at Richland Creek Canopy Tours. It is a reasonably priced, exhilarating, fun-filled outing. Afterwards, stop by the Four Saints Brewing Company. Yes, although a brewery, it is a fantastic neighborhood hot spot where families meet to have a tasty brew, eat from the food truck, socialize, play games, and just relax. I’ve toured many breweries around

Last but not least, visit the world-famous Seagrove Pottery, which is 20 minutes away.

Spread over nearly 70 individual studios, the highly-sought after pottery and crafts attract visitors from around the world. It is home to the largest community of potters in the country. Make sure Owens Pottery is on your list of studios to visit; their vibrant red pieces are breathtaking!

Asheboro’s upscale eateries include Something Different, serving American and International food, and Bia’s Gourmet Hardware for impeccable fine dining. At Something Different, try the Bayou Chicken or any of the Kabobs. You will be amazed at how

flavorful their food is. Start with the Hummus platter; it is the best I’ve ever had. Since Bia’s Gourmet Hardware serves locally sourced ingredients, try the Jarret Bay Oysters or Charcuterie & Cheese Plate. For dinner, the Scottish Salmon and Petite Filet Mignon are both delicious choices. Bia’s desserts are the wow factor here so save room.

Focal

Focal Point – Go Mini’s of Charleston

Point

You might have any number of reasons to move, store, or relocate some items. You are moving to a new home. Your home or office is being remodeled. You need safe storage for tools at a jobsite. Your realtor suggested you remove some items in order to stage your home before putting it on the market. You own a retail business that requires extra inventory storage during peak seasons. You close on the house you are selling, but haven’t closed on the house you are purchasing.

Whether you are storing furniture, tools, or inventory, the clear and simple solution is a Go-Mini’s of Charleston container. It couldn’t be easier. You call, and they deliver at a time convenient to you. There is no tiny window of time that truck rental companies impose. Go Mini’s allow you to pack at your own pace. When you are ready, your Go Mini’s container is picked up and moved for you.

There are numerous compelling reasons to use Go Mini’s containers.

Go Mini’s sit only 8 inches off the ground. No narrow, steep ramps to navigate, just a small step up.

The interiors have smooth, powder-coated steel walls and support beams, not rough wood that can splinter and draw moisture. Or worse, absorb and hold odors from a previous users items. The unit are vented so items stored over a long period of time will not mold or mildew.

More tie down points than any competitor allow for securing multiple items. Sturdy wall rails easily support hanging clothing.

Select the size best suited to your needs. They are available in 12, 16, or 20 feet long units. At 8 feet high, there is ample head room for easier loading. Go Mini’s has the only portable storage container that is available in a 20 foot size.

While Go Mini’s is not the only portable storage container company, they are the preferred choice for several reasons. Multiple size choices, superior construction, ease of use, and flexibility to suit your needs added to unmatched customer service equals a winning scenario.

One of the most frequent users of Go Mini’s are people needing fast, temporary storage for their household goods and furniture between closing on an old house and gaining ownership of the new one. While it might be easy for the owners to stay in a hotel, or with friends and relatives, it’s not so easy to relocate several rooms of belongings for a few days or weeks. Why have the hassle of packing your home, loading a moving truck, and unloading everything into a storage facility. Then a short time later, reversing the process by unpacking the storage unit into

a moving truck, driving to your new home and unloading everything yet again. Your Go Mini’s container can be loaded and stored at their secure storage locations until you are ready to move in.

Commercial clients find Go Mini’s to be a perfect solution to storage needs. Retail stores require space to store large amounts of inventory during holiday and other high volume buying seasons.

Additional uses include the ability to buy supplies in bulk for reduced rates, storing promotional items, off season displays, outdoor furniture, or even records storage.

A secure Go Mini container ensures the business owner their products are safe, dry, and nearby.

Contractors can easily guard against job-site theft of tools and other valuable items. Additionally, renovation project completion time can be shortened by alleviating the need to remove and return tools, materials, and supplies to and from the jobsite each day.

With no long-term commitment requirement, Go Mini’s are a perfect fit. Go Mini’s of Charleston serves a large geographic area, encompassing areas of Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia in a two hour radius from Charleston. Local owners Bill Sturgeon and Mark Saber have proudly served the area with the unmatched service, convenience, and simplicity of Go Mini’s for over ten years.

To discuss your needs and obtain a rate quote, call Go Mini’s of Charleston at 304-759-8216.
