Relish in this pickleball paradise

You ready, picklers? | Photo by CHStoday

Charleston, it’s time to grab your tennis shoes and paddles and check out Crush Yard, Charleston’s first pickleball “eatertainment” experience (think: pickleball club, bar + restaurant). The new space is now open at 3365 S. Morgans Point Rd. in Mt. Pleasant.

The pickleball club

Picklers of all levels are welcome to explore this ~40,000-sqft space featuring eight indoor pickleball courts you can reserve by the hour.

Crush Yard’s pickleball program is supported by two local pros, Greg Dow and Anderson Scarpa, and offers leagues, tournaments, lessons, clinics, and, of course, plain ole regular court play. Memberships are available, too.

The kitchen serves American cuisine favorites like smoked dry rub chicken wings and pretzel bites with Holy City Brewing’s beer cheese. There are also gluten-free and vegetarian items, plus a kids menu.

The bar has a self-serve beverage system carrying 36 beers (26 of those are from local spots), 10 wines, and six seasonal cocktails plus soda and coffee options.

In addition to the restaurant, Crush Yard offers a lounge-like space with several televisions.

Don’t forget: Check out the free Crush Yard app for all your membership, court rentals, and food ordering needs.

Crush Yard is open daily to the public from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and for members from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to recognize those who have lost, survived, or are currently fighting the battle of breast cancer. | Photo via Pexels

1 in 8. That’s the number of women in the US who will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. This year alone, over 297,000 American women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer.

But, some good news: If caught and treated early, the five-year relative survival rate for breast cancer is 99%, according to the 2023 SEER database.

And to increase the likelihood that women will detect breast cancer earlier, there are new guidelines for breast cancer screenings.
