NEW FEATURE:  What we love about Charleston 

We love just about everything about the Lowcountry’s marshes. What do you love about the area? (Copyrighted photo by Andy Brack.)

We started Charleston Currents a decade ago because the area was missing something – a focus on good news, the kind of information that consistently celebrates the rich and good quality of life in the Lowcountry.

It’s easy for traditional media to write blaring headlines and loud promos about bad stuff that plagues more and more communities – traffic, crime, education, conflict.  It’s not tough to collect and publish news stories with negativity.  All you have to do is show up at official sources to read through police and court reports.

While bad news might drive eyeballs to TV screens and newspapers, bad news isn’t what keeps people living here and attracts them in droves to visit and relocate.  People move here because they love lots of various things – from the beaches, marshes and special places to the warmth of people, food, lifestyle and more.

So in the spirit of connecting us with what we love about the area, we’d like you to send in short comments – 50 words to 100 words – to describe something you really enjoy about the Lowcountry.  It can be big or small.  It can be a place where you get a great morning biscuit to a business or government entity doing a good job.

We’ll highlight one entry a week in Charleston Currents.  We look forward to hearing from you.  Enter as many times as you like (but don’t deluge us with a dozen entries at one time!)
