The ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ is reopening. And a Charleston brewery is celebrating it with a new beer.

The bridge, also known as “Graffiti Bridge,” may not have a street address, but the swath of cement located near 1419 Petty St. in Charleston’s Neck Area between the Ashley River and Interstate 26 is familiar to many.

Also on the bill is Big Guy and The Very Large Men, the project of Nashville songwriter James Droll, whose emotionally candid, indie-pop sound explores the beauty and messiness of living openly queer in the Bible Belt.

Floating casino seized by SC shipyard in $790K billing flap

A Florida gambling boat that sailed to the former Navy base North Charleston for repairs is in hot water over a billing dispute. Detyens Shipyards sued the M/V Victory I and owner Sophlex Enterprises last month, alleging it's owed almost $800,000 in unpaid invoices.

The Lowcountry's standout spots for shrimp and grits

You can find dozens of variations on this classic Southern dish in restaurants across the country. But there's something special about eating shrimp and grits in the Lowcountry, where the main ingredients are so close to home. Shrimp and grits have been a staple in coastal Southern kitchens for generations, but when and where did the dish originate? Sources like the Levine Museum of the New South suggest shrimp and grits was likely the result of a convergence of Gullah Geechee, Indigenous and European cooking traditions that started centuries ago.

Over time, the dish was eventually popularized (and fancied up) by restaurants like Crook's Corner in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Husk in Charleston, South Carolina. Our list of standout shrimp and grits highlights crowd-favorite versions of this dish, both traditional and creative, where local ingredients like these are always the focus. That's thanks to farmers who still grow heritage-variety grains, like the Sea Island Yellow Guinea Flint Grits from Rollen's Raw Grains in Hardeeville, South Carolina, and purveyors like Tarvin Shrimp of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, who catch shrimp off the
