Getting ‘Gone’ on the big screen once again
By: Bill Thompson
It was to be the grandest of the grand, a landmark motion picture so perfectly realized that it would cast a giant shadow over the sweep of film history.

Multimedia trip through hip-hop history
One could describe Marc Bamuthi Joseph’s “the break/s” as a mix tape for stage, the charted course of hip-hop over continents and generations.

Mark Bamuthi Joseph will perform “the break/s,” a multimedia exploration of today’s hip-hop generation, during the Spoleto Festival. Read more
Memorial Day in the Lowcountry
May 27, 2008
Area residents soak up fun at beaches, Spoleto
Some took it easy on the beach. Per usual this time of year, many headed downtown for Spoleto events. Others tried to start or finish home-improvement projects.
Memorial Day proved to be the day of relaxation and remembrance that many in the Lowcountry come to expect. The traffic on Folly Road gave way to throngs of people blasting music, splashing in the ocean, flying kites and soaking up rays.
West Ashley residents Rose and Mark Luppino took it easy under their beach umbrella with drinks, snacks and homemade hummus.
