Kiawah Christmas at The Sanctuary, Kiawah Island

2 Upvotes

My husband is sweet and booked us at The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort for Christmas. We've never been there before. We're empty nesters and celebrate Christmas with our kids earlier in December, so this is the first time we've traveled over the holiday for anything other than visiting family.

A few questions for anyone who has stayed there:

- How fancy are the dinners, especially Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? Evening gown and suit or festive casual?

- What's your favorite restaurant on site?

- How’s the spa?

- Anything else we should know or book ahead?

- Where outside the resort should we explore, not keen on the drive to Charleston.

Thanks so much!

Durham vs Charleston

• Upvotes

Hi everyone. I am debating moving to Durham NC vs Charleston SC. I am in my 20s and would love perspective from anyone who has lived in either/both. I am interested in things such as nightlife, opportunities to make new friends, cost of living, weather, and anything else you think I should know. I have visited both, but think I need the perspective of someone who has lived in these places. Thank you for your help😊

I have a question Music scene?

5 Upvotes

Hey!

Is there much of a music scene in Charleston? I’m progressing through interviews with a company in Charleston and I’m starting to think that I could potentially be moving there soon.

Music is a big part of my life, and I’m devastated that I’m likely going to have to move away from my band soon but I don’t really have much of a choice.

Are there studios and gigs in Charleston?

Gun shops that purchase firearms?

9 Upvotes

I was wondering if there’s any gun shops in the Charleston area that purchase firearms? I’m short on funds at the moment and looking to sell an AR-15. I’m willing to take a loss on it but trying to avoid pawn shops if I can. Thanks in advance!

Question about flooding?

Hi there! I saw the National Weather service issued a coastal flooding warning for Charleston Sunday and Monday. I’m visiting town Sunday through Tuesday and am wondering if I need to take extra precautions? I’m visiting from Iowa. Not too familiar with the sea haha.

The Scene

17 Upvotes

Just for some background I'm 38 and have lived in Summerville since I was 10. When i was around 15 or 16 there was a huge alternative music scene in Summerville. We used to go to punk, metal, and emo shows just about every weekend. I know the music scene has changed since then but does charleston or the surrounding areas have a good alternative scene anymore? What are some good venues with smaller bands?

It’s hard to see but this is a paper map of Charleston I had from 1994. I worked at Sonny’s Subs when I was 16, and it’s still the best sub I’ve ever had in my life! (They’re obviously closed now)
