Food, Fun, and Friends
Homeowners and their guests were treated to a lowcountry barbeque at Midtown last Thursday evening. Residents had a chance to meet their neighbors and some of the business owners of the Upper King Design District. Barbeque and all the fixins were provided by the Midtown Team and enjoyed by all. It was a great evening and the perfect way for the residents and business owners in this unique neighborhood to get to know each other!

King Street Movie Clip Completed
The CHART group has completed the Upper King Street movie clip that I mentioned a few weeks ago. It briefly touches on many of the great businesses in our part of town, and there is even a shot of Midtown. It is a pretty cool clip, and it will play in local hotels on the "Hotel TV" station. I'm glad that they have done it, because there are so many fabulous stores and restaurants in the Upper King District that are deserving of mention. It's my favorite part of town for shopping, because the stores and the merchandise are so unique, that you know you are not going to see the same item of clothing, in different colors, on every other person in town. Also, I greatly prefer to support local, small businesses than big corporations. When you get a chance, and want to be inspired to do some shopping in the Midtown area, take a look at the clip!

Race Week!
This weekend finishes up Charleston Race Week, which is a fun event every year. It's all about sailing races, both in the Charleston harbor and offshore. After the races, there are parties and events each night. Profits from the event go to support the Spirit of South Carolina, which is a reproduction of a classic tall ship used for educational purposes. People who are sailing in the vents can get shoreside passes to "Race Village", where they offer cocktails, food, music, raffles, trophy presentations, etc. I know that tonight they are having a big Seafoood Feast, and I believe Sunday is a BBQ. If you find yourself with nothing to do this evening or Sunday, you should head down to the Charleston Harbor Marina (20 Patriots Point Road in Mt. Pleasant).

Marion Square Comes To Life...
Each Saturday, beginning April 11th, the Charleston Farmers Market at Marion Square comes to life and offers the freshest local produce, plants, herbs and cut flowers. Nestled beneath beautiful trees with plenty of room for families to gather and children to play, the Farmers Market has become a Charleston tradition. While strolling through the market enjoy a delicious breakfast, brunch or lunch while listening to a variety of live entertainment. The Farmers Market also offers an amazing assortment of arts and craft from talented local artists. This a great way to spend a Saturday in Charleston and should not be missed by locals or visitors.
A short walk from Charleston's Midtown, the beautiful Marion Square is located between King and Meeting Streets at the edge of Calhoun Street in the Upper King Design District. The Farmers Market is available from 8am-2pm and runs April 11 - December 20. The ever popular Charleston Farmers Market is produced by the City of Charleston's Office of Cultural Affairs in cooperation with the Department of Parks. It is dedicated to the support and advocacy of Lowcountry Farmers and Growers.
