This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for. After weeks of asking our readers to submit their paw-fect pet pictures, we’ve put together our first — absolutely adorable — roundup.
We received dozens of photos of our neighborhood cats and dogs, so we decided to divide the spotlight to double the celebration. This one’s for the pups. After all, cute animals were what the internet was really made for in the first place.
Country superstar Chris Stapleton is bringing his “All-American Road Show” tour to the Lowcountry later this year. Stapleton will perform at the North Charleston Coliseum on Friday, June 26. Ticket pre-sales begin on Tuesday, Jan. 13.
Arts
Some world-renowned sculptures are coming to the Holy City. The Gibbes Museum is welcoming 14 works by Auguste Rodin to its galleries, the sculptor most famously behind The Thinker. That one won’t be here, but we recommend browsing the halls upon the works’ unveiling, starting late February. (Post and Courier)
Pets
Did you know that you can own a kangaroo as a pet in South Carolina without a license? Someone certainly knew, because a joey was seen falling into a Summerville pool earlier this week before it was rescued and returned to its owner. They must both be jumping for joy.(World Visualized + Post and Courier)

Looking for weekend plans? A reminder: It’s Restaurant Week South Carolina for the next 10 days. There are 50+ Charleston restaurants taking part, and we rounded up a few that caught our eye. Happy eating.
Seasonal
And if you make it to Restaurant Week, the SC Sea Grant Consortium has some advice on what’s in season in January. They recommend oysters, tuna, hard-shell crab, snowy grouper, and a bunch of other perfectly timed seafood.
Eat
When South Carolinians hit the drive-thru, one chain reigns supreme. New data from Visual Capitalist shows Bojangles is the most popular fast food restaurant in the state. We can’t say we’re surprised, though these local lunch deals may make you rethink your typical order.
Jobs
No. 11. That’s where Charleston ranked on WalletHub’s new list of best cities for job-seekers in the US. Openings per applicant, starting salaries, and employment growth were all considered in the rankings. If you’re looking for a fresh start in your career, our jobs board has 240,000+ listings.
Drink
Recovery Room Tavern was the No. 2 top seller of 12-oz PBR beer cans in the country in 2025. For the second year in a row, the King Street spot lost out to Robert’s Western World in Nashville. Pssst — they’re showing the Panthers game tomorrow. Let’s get the crown back in 2026.

Take the guesswork out of healthy eating with chef-cooked meals from Forkful. Instead of spending hours on Pinterest looking for recipes, opt for high-quality, nourishing meals delivered right to your door. Forkful’s meals boast only the finest ingredients, like grass-fed meats, wild-caught seafood, and organic produce. Think: protein-packed pastas and plant-based burrito bowls. Plus, Forkful meals are never frozen + only take 2-3 minutes to prepare.
If you sent in a photo of your pet, thank you very much. Not only did I enjoy them, but the whole of the CHStoday team also loved looking through the snaps. Don’t forget: Charleston is full of dog-friendly fun.
Before we say goodbye for the week, I wanted to get in on the fun. Meet Walter, our 2-year-old dachshund-schnauzer mix (we think). Don’t be fooled by that face — he runs the house.
