Week of July 27
Home Team BBQ hits 20 years, Yous Guys closes on James Island, and Boone Hall Plantation moves toward nonprofit stewardship.
The week's biggest local story may be the quietest: Boone Hall Plantation, one of the most-visited historic sites in the country, is poised to transfer to nonprofit management — a structural shift that could reshape how the property handles its complicated history and future programming. Elsewhere, Yous Guys Sandwich Shop confirmed it's closing its James Island location, while a new colorful coffee shop, Harlow and Pearl, opened downtown and a locally owned wine shop, August Wines, planted itself on Savannah Highway in West Ashley.
Home Team BBQ is marking 20 years this week — reason enough to order smoked wings and a Game Changer at whichever of its four locations is closest to you. Mount Pleasant artisan Corey Alston earned a Guinness World Record for the largest sweetgrass basket ever made. And PURE Theatre has unveiled its 24th season lineup, a mix of new and recent work worth putting on the fall calendar now.
