Week of July 13
Senator Lindsey Graham dies suddenly, Charleston Place unveils its $150M transformation, and a new King Street hotel moves closer to opening.
The week's heaviest news came Sunday morning when South Carolina learned of the sudden death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, ending a decades-long chapter in the state's political life. On the development front, Charleston Place completed a major phase of its $150 million renovation, the King Street Lowline hotel announced executive hires ahead of a July debut, and Mozzo Deli confirmed a fourth Lowcountry location is on the way.
At The Cooper, an all-day Mediterranean café is already open and a retro burger joint is coming next — worth a visit if you're tracking the new waterfront hotel district taking shape. Palmira Barbecue's Hector Garate is heading to television, and Fruit Bats play the Windjammer on July 17 if you need a reason to get to Isle of Palms this week.
