Broad Street has some wonderful structures and lots of stories. This week we visit 60-64 Broad Street or the Confederate Home, originally known as the Home for the Mothers, Widows, and Daughters of Confederate Soldiers.

During its strange and storied history, this property has been a residence which hosted a United States President, served as a hotel, a Federal courthouse, a college, apartment building and wedding destination.

New year, new you!

Most people start off the new year making goals to better themselves in some way, whether by getting in shape, eating healthier, spending more time with friends or on self-care, but it isn't always easy to follow through with those resolutions. In order to start your year off right and really stick to the goals you make, you have to find the motivation to get there. At Rhapsody CrossFit, the motivation not only comes from the group around you, who are all working towards the same goal, but they also teach you to find that motivation and drive within yourself. In this video, Rhapsody's Trinity Wheeler speaks on what motivates him.

Happy New Year 2019! The Charleston Hat Man is one of our favorite iconic images and has been around for more than 100 years. This image is on the Church Street corner of 47 Broad Street.

43-47 Broad Street was built in 1855 by Charles Love and Conrad Wienges, saddlers and harness makers. In 1870, Charles Plenge bought the building and altered the façade, specifically adding a cornice with the name "Plenge." C. Charles Plenge was born in 1827 in Kassel, Germany and later emigrated to Charleston. Plenge established and operated a haberdashery at 43-47 Broad Street, selling men's clothing, hats, and other accessories. Mr. Plenge died in 1877, before the date of the Charleston Hat Man painting, which appears to be in the early 1890s.

The long-awaited Wiki Wiki Sandbar is now open at 106 East Ashley Avenue on Folly Beach.

The restaurant and bar is from Charleston restaurateur Karalee Fallert, who is also behind Taco Boy, The Park Cafe, and The Royal American, and her business partner April Bennett.

Executive Chef Jason DuPree has created a menu that offers slow-cooked meats accompanied by sides including rice, macaroni salad, greens, and starchy root vegetables.

Due the government shutdown, Fort Sumter Tours will not be running to the Fort. We will, however, be offering non-stop Charleston Harbor tours that will go by the Fort.

Please either call for details or simply come to the ticket window at 360 Concord Street for downtown departures or 40 Patriots Point Road for Mt. Pleasant departures.

Holiday greetings are evident at the Blacklock House at 18 Bull Street. At the time of its construction in 1800, 18 Bull Street was considered more of a suburban retreat, as the area did not yet have much surrounding construction. As Charleston grew, houses sprang up in the area, but 18 Bull still stands out as a grand mansion in the area and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
