Set up by Charleston’s Adam Kunes in 2024, it’s a growing group of fathers looking to connect with each other in the Holy City. “We’re trying to build the internet’s least-cringe dad corner and give guys real tools and community,” Kunes told us.
On their schedule, you’ll find run clubs, backyard hangouts, park play dates with the kiddos, a private Slack channel, and dad-centric write-ups. Outside of Charleston, Kunes has already expanded to Annapolis, Pittsburg, and Phoenix.

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that my stint writing these CHStoday newsletters is coming to an end soon. The excellent news is that Callie will be back in your inboxes every morning.
