News Notes
Open
  • Game on. A new 12-acre soccer facility anchored by SC Surf Soccer Club has opened in Awendaw. Phase one includes three fields, restrooms, a pavilion, and a concession area still under construction. Future phases will add parking and a Charleston Battery training facility, with full completion by summer 2025. (WCSC)
Weaher
  • Stay alert. A tropical storm watch has been issued for parts of the SC coast. While Hurricane Milton isn’t predicted to directly hit, coastal flooding, strong winds, and potential storm conditions are expected from Wednesday through Thursday. There’s also an increased risk of rip currents along SC beaches. (WCBD)
Eat
  • Pho Lucky & Boba Tea recently opened on Johnnie Dodds Boulevard in Mount Pleasant, where the former Asian Flavor used to operate. The family-owned eatery serves Vietnamese entrees like bun bo hue, dumplings, and summer rolls and is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Community
  • Here’s the latest chapter on the Charleston County Public Library (CCPL) system. The Edisto Island Library reopened after undergoing renovations. Plus, all CCPL branches will close next Monday, Oct. 14, for staff development and reopen the following day. (WCBD)
Coming soon
  • Daniela’s Downtown, a new market and deli, is coming to the corner of Spring and Ashley Streets. Guests will be able to order from a menu featuring deli sandwiches, salads, specialty meats, artisan cheeses, and vegan and gluten-free options. Stay tuned for an opening date.

Health
  • Repair, recovery, and longevity. That’s the focus at interveneMD, a practice committed to educating patients about their pain so they can be an active participant in their treatment. Explore services.*
Finance
  • Credit cards that can help you get out of debt sound as wacky as pumpkin spice deodorant (yes, it’s real). But the concept is legit: Find a card with “0% intro APR” for balance transfers. Here are hands down some of the best offering no interest until 2026.*
Edu
  • Interested in working with a local tutor — or taking lessons virtually? Wyzant’s vetted instructors can help with 300+ topics, from core subjects to musical skills. The best part? It’s pay-as-you-go and starts as low as $10/session. (Psst... special offer this way.)*
