Jimmy's pick

Deer Tick at the Pour House, Sunday. Deer Tick has been making rowdy, funny, sometimes sad rock records out of Providence for about twenty years. The Pour House is a small room for a band with that much behind it, and the Sunday 8:30 start means you're home at a reasonable hour.

Who are you seeing this weekend? Tell us in the comments.

Mondays the calendar, Wednesdays the music, Fridays what's opening and closing.

Forty-eight things on the list this week. Veterans Day lands Wednesday, with a breakfast at the International African American Museum and a ceremony aboard the Yorktown. Then Saturday asks you to choose: a BBQ festival in Riverfront Park, a food truck fest at Patriots Point and Kulture Klash at Building 64, all on the same day.

Bold is what we’d plan the day around. Everything else is in time order.

Mondays the calendar, Wednesdays the music, Fridays what’s opening and closing.

Seven this week. Three places opened their doors in the last two days, two more have dates, and two longtime names are on the way out.

Now open

• Quarter French, French Quarter — Opened Nov. 5 at 40 Broad St, next door to sister bar Blind Tiger. The draw is the courtyard: a greenhouse-style room with the original brick walls and a retractable roof. Thursday to Sunday, 8 AM to 11 PM for now, daily starting in the new year.

• Char House Social, James Island — A Texas-style steakhouse from the Harlow team, open as of today at 1234 Camp Rd in the old Smoky Oak space. Dinner Monday through Saturday, open till midnight Friday and Saturday.

• Jack's Diner, Downtown — The Legend Deli crew brought the old Jack's Cafe on George St back as an all-day diner. Open every day, 7:30 AM to 9 PM, breakfast all day.

Opening

• Alteño, Downtown — Chef Johnny Curiel's Mexican restaurant (the Denver original is Michelin-recommended) opens Nov. 12 at 89 Cannon St, inside The Charlee. Daily 3 to 10 PM, with small bites and drink specials early on weekdays.

• Chuy's, North Charleston — The Tex-Mex chain opens Nov. 18 at 7811 Rivers Ave, in the building that was South Carolina's last Bahama Breeze.

Closing

• Dillard's, West Ashley — Closing signs went up this week at the Citadel Mall store, Charleston's last Dillard's after about 34 years. No final day yet. The store is pointing shoppers to the Northwoods outlet.

• Palmetto Cafe and the Thoroughbred Club, Downtown — Both close at the end of the year as The Charleston Place finishes its top-to-bottom renovation. Three new spots arrive in 2028: a signature restaurant, a pub and a new lobby bar. The Perch rooftop bar stays open in the meantime.

Seen something open or close that we missed? Tell us in the comments.

Mondays the week's events, Wednesdays the music, Fridays what's opening and closing.

I've lived in Mt. Pleasant for 15 years. Recently retired and looking for things to do with other people in our area.

47 shows between Thursday and Sunday. Wynonna Judd plays the North Charleston PAC Saturday, Tab Benoit brings Louisiana blues guitar to the Music Hall Sunday, and the band Wednesday opens the weekend on a Thursday.

Jimmy's pick

Tab Benoit w/ Jesse Dayton, Sunday at the Music Hall. Two guitar players who'd each headline on their own, on one bill, on a Sunday night. If your weekend ran heavy on tribute bands and cover sets, this is the fix.

What's on your calendar this week that we missed? Tell us in the comments.

Mondays the calendar, Wednesdays the music, Fridays what's opening and closing.

If you've been around a while, you know I'm not shy about trying new things. One of which was paid subscriptions.

Paid subscriptions simply didn't catch on. So I'm shutting it down on Halloween. 🎃

But that's not my big announcement.

THE reason I've tinkered and made changes since I first started publishing is to try and get y'all the info and events you've asked for.

More than once a week.

1X per week was all the bandwidth I had because I was running 2 businesses. That's down one since I stepped away from real estate 3 weeks ago.

So here it is, folks, and you're the first to know: I'm adding a 2nd day per week.

Starting November 16, I'll be publishing on Mondays, too!

Monday's newsletter won't be a carbon copy of Thursday, though. I have some new ideas I'm looking to add.

But I'd love your input. What do you want more of? What are you not seeing on Thursday that you'd love to?

Speak, Charleston!
