CharlestonToday.net keeps growing

If you haven’t visited us yet on CharlestonToday.net, please have a look. Our content and coverage keeps expanding.

In addition to regular posts about art, music, dance, and theatre, we have two special columns which you can see in the left column of the page.

The first is “Looking at Charleston” which offers a unique view of historic architecture on the peninsula—homes, churches, and public buildings. All the material comes from unpublished writings of Gene Waddell who is an architectural historian and now the archivist at the College of Charleston Library. This is not your typical tour of downtown (who lived where, how many surviving ancestors they have, and how many times the building burned). No, it is about architecture: who the architects were, where they learned their design concepts, why they chose these particular designs, which materials they selected and why, and how the buildings were built. It is a guaranteed to give you a fresh perspective on the city, literally, around you.

The other column is “A Nuff is a Nuff” which is co-authored by our friends Harriet (Hattie) and Goodwin (Goodie) Nuff. Their view of life is from the practical human side. They don’t always agree, but both have worthwhile things to say. And they’re fun. You’ll see. Watch, too, for Goodie’s cousin who may write in occasionally: Itzhak (Itzha) Nuff.

We’ve also got other fun and reflective columns coming soon. As well as plenty more about the cultural season ahead of us this Fall and Spring.
