A car plowed through a Mount Pleasant business early Tuesday, ripping through the back wall, across the entire store, and out the front—leaving owner Jennifer Patterson heartbroken as her newly rebranded shop lies in ruins. The driver, Tanner Sebren, fled but was later arrested for impaired driving after police found him with a wine cup and slurred speech. Facing charges, he’s now accused of damaging fixtures and causing public disorder. Patterson, whose dream of creating an inclusive shopping space is on hold, is also sounding the alarm about dangerous road curves near her store, calling for better signage and safety barriers. Though devastated, she vows to rebuild—with community support—and promises the store will reopen, stronger than ever.

Charleston Waterkeeper and the College of Charleston are teaming up to warn locals about dangerous bacteria in local waterways, testing spots like Shem Creek and Charleston Harbor every Wednesday for threats like Vibrio vulnificus. They’ve pinpointed recurring “hotspots” — including Philbin Creek, Upper Shem Creek, and Hobcaw Creek — where recreation is unsafe when flagged red. With lab support from the College, they release weekly test results Friday on their website so you can plan your beach day safely — because staying informed means staying out of harm’s way.
