Goose Creek’s Hidden History

This new historical marker is just one part of Goose Creek Mayor Michael Heitzler’s plan to raise public awareness about his community’s rich history.
The site of the ruins of St. James Goose Creek Chapel of Ease, and of a Yemassee War battle, is about four miles outside Goose Creek and symbolic of the area’s hidden history.
GOOSE CREEK - Michael Heitzler turns off Old Highway 52 onto Avanti Lane to show his passenger a historic site that most people — even those who grew up in southern Berkeley County — have never even heard of.
As he slowly winds his vehicle down the lane, which resembles more of a driveway than a road, some gravestones can be seen through the woods.
This is the site of the ruins of St. James Goose Creek Chapel of Ease — a small Anglican church built a few years after a critical battle. Read more

Sales associate Lucy Lesniak assists Marco Rico as he tries on sunglasses Friday in the newly opened Louis Vuitton store in Charleston Place on King Street.
It might seem like a peculiar time to open a boutique that sells $1,200 handbags, what with the economy sputtering to a halt and all. But while they are worried on Wall Street and on Main Street, business apparently is OK on King Street, for now at least.Most of the merchants along downtown Charleston’s main shopping corridor welcomed the opening of the Louis Vuitton store Friday, the high-end French merchant’s first in South Carolina.
Earlier this week, seven “visuals managers” from across the country and two from Paris were flown in to arrange the collection of purses, travel wear and accessories in display cases that sat atop a herringbone-patterned wood floor.
Though the location opened to a small crowd — which a store manager attributed to the gray weather — traffic seemed to pick up over the course of the shopping day.
Most of the high-end retailers in downtown Charleston say the luxury store will only enhance the city’s reputation as a premier shopping destination and, best of all, won’t really compete with any existing stores. Read more

Rhett’s Bluff is located on the Kiawah River and is a great place to enjoy the natural beauty of Kiawah Island, SC. Flanked by Bass Pond and the Kiawah River on Kiawah’s northern shore, Rhett’s Bluff is an established neighborhood oriented on deep water. Once home to prehistoric Indian tribes and in the 18th century to James Shoolbred, America’s first British consul, Rhett’s Bluff’s charm is as timeless as the land itself.
Canopies of live oaks, deep covered porches, flower boxes brimming full of geraniums, and utmost attention to landscaping highlight the homes at Rhett’s Bluff. A pavilion and private boat landing provide easy deep-water access for neighborhood residents to enjoy the beauty of the Kiawah River.
