News Notes

Mansion Monday

If space is what you’re after, look no further. This oceanfront Kiawah Island home offers more than 8,000 sq-ft plus a dock, elevator, pool, and option to purchase a highly coveted Kiawah Island Golf Membership. We can see ourselves out back, sipping a glass of wine overlooking the pool.

Today Is

Groundhog Day, when Punxsutawney Phil will emerge and predict whether or not we’ll see an early spring, a tradition dating back 139 years. Whatever Phil says, we’ve got plenty of Lowcountry events lined up for February. Just check the forecast first.

State

There are no athletes representing Charleston in Team USA for the 2026 Winter Olympics. In fact, there are none from South Carolina heading to Northern Italy to compete. You could buck that trend in four years’ time with few lessons at Carolina Ice Palace.

Sports

Super Bowl LX is locked in — the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will meet Sunday, Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area. Consider this your cue to text the group chat and pick a Charleston sports bar for game day. (USA Today)

On This Day

Irish novelist and poet James Joyce was born on this day, February 2, 1882. As he once wisely said, “life is too short to read a bad book.” Find a good one instead at one of the Holy City’s independent bookstores.

Travel

It can be tough to find time to work out. Good news — a new study suggests that a couple of 30-45 minute sessions per week could be enough to make “very good gains.” If you’ve got the time, see which of Charleston’s gyms would suit your schedule. (NPR)

Announced

Southwest Airlines has officially ditched open seating in favor of assigned seats, ending a longtime hallmark of the brand. Love it or loathe it, it’s something to keep in mind when you book your next flight out of Charleston International Airport.

Jobs

Whether you’re a small business looking to grow your team or a large company filling a key role, our Job Board can connect you with engaged, qualified locals who are ready to work. Post your open roles + watch the applications roll in.

Number

$0. That’s how much 94% of Nourish patients pay out of pocket to talk to a dietitian covered by their insurance. You could be covered, too — check your coverage + get matched with a dietitian who can cut through the food noise and build you a plan to thrive.*

Event Spotlight

The Town of Mount Pleasant and its Chamber of Commerce are encouraging folks to support local restaurants. The fifth annual Dine Where You Live campaign is underway and lasts through the end of the month. Every week, one lucky diner will win a $50 gift card to a local restaurant.

I’m planning to stop by Abbracci Italian Cuisine & Cocktails for a Limoncello Spritz and the Polpo alla Griglia.
Participating restaurants

The Buy

FDA-approved GLP-1 medications for just a few dollars per day. If you’re tired of the Ozempic price tag and endless doctor’s appointments, opt for one of these top options — no insurance required + delivered directly to your door.

The Wrap

🏒 We’re just days away from the Winter Olympics, and I can’t wait to cheer on Team USA. Looking to watch some winter sports a little closer to home? Check out the Stingrays game this weekend. Pro tip: Get there early so you can stand in the Doc Popcorn line, it’s worth it — trust me.
