From the beginning, you’ve heard how South Carolinians are a warm and generous people with an independent spirit. On the day you were born, I wrote this to you: “You should know our people are generally good. Sometimes they stray and do bad things or forget to do what’s right. … Sometimes people forget the lessons of church to love their neighbors and, instead, love themselves too much.”
By Avery and Ellen Brack, special to Charleston Current | With a total eclipse just two weeks away, there are a lot of cool places to watch it.
College of Charleston. NASA will be basing its national broadcast of the eclipse at the College of Charleston’s Rivers Green behind the Addlestone Library. In the Charleston area, the eclipse will begin just after 1 p.m. and end three hours later. The moon will cover the sun completely for about two minutes starting at 2:46 p.m.
Riley Park. The city’s minor league baseball park will open at 1 p.m. so you can see the eclipse before a game against the Augusta GreenJackets that starts at 4:05 p.m.
Light pierces through this architecturally-important, glass-roofed structure, but where is it? Third correct guess wins a pair of ticket vouchers to a game with the winning Charleston RiverDogs. Send your best guess to: editor@charlestoncurrents.com — and make sure to include the name of the town in which you live. (Photo by Avery Brack.)
