Just like everything in our collective “world” right now, fashion looks a little different this month. With businesses shut down and social distancing the hot new buzz word of the month, we decided to do something a little different for our May fashion spread.
Superior Services expands from heating and air to serve as a one-stop shop for your home
In its natural state, air expands to fill a space. That’s just science. They say that nature abhors a vacuum, but air loves it; if air finds a spot where it’s needed, it will rush right in to fill it.
The Heroes and the Helpers: COVID-19 brings out the Lowcountry’s best
A global pandemic doesn’t play favorites. Regardless of age, wealth or status, we’ve all been thrust into survival mode—every man for himself, fighting to stay alive. While some of us have resources to sustain us through this time of crisis, others do not. In addition to the challenge of protecting their health, many Lowcountry residents find themselves suddenly unable to meet their most basic needs, like keeping a roof over their head and putting food on the table.
Mighty Mac offers so much more than just carpet cleaning.
More than likely you can remember that last time you had your carpets cleaned. Maybe it was six years ago, maybe it was last year. Maybe you’ve never had your carpets cleaned (and if that’s the case, eew. You need to get on that).
Belmont Insurance Services: Putting a face on your insurance coverage
Imagine: (1) You’ve just returned from a hurricane evacuation to find extensive roof damage, a flooded garage, and ruined furnishings. (2) Your teenage son was involved in a fender bender. He’s fine, but your car is being towed to a local garage. (3) You need knee replacement surgery but are concerned about the out-of-pocket cost. (4) Your employee slipped and fell in the office and is at the emergency room with a possible concussion. Who are you going to call?
Island Winery: The journey continues with new facility under construction
Dreams have a funny way of finding us and are often hatched in unexpected places. On a cold February morning in 2005, traveling down the highway from their home in New Jersey to Hilton Head Island, Loren and Georgene Mortimer began mulling over a plan that would soon change the course of their lives.
Pain, Pain, Go Away! Lowcountry Spine & Sport tackling pain with a healthy approach
Raise your hand if you are in pain. Whether it’s a sports injury, joint flareup or chronic arthritic condition, do yourself a favor and call Dr. John P. Batson, MD, FACSM, physician/owner of Lowcountry Spine & Sport, LLC.
5 Drinks with: Dr. Curtis Hennessey
For 25 years, Dr. Curtis Hennessey has been the face of veterinary medicine on the island. Since setting out his shingle, he’s seen cats and dogs and animals of all stripes (not to mention spots).
Beyond the many domestic animals that call the island home, he’s served as the long-time caregiver for Beaufort County’s trained dogs—and recently, one highly infamous opossum.
Before that, he was an Army brat who has lived everywhere from Thailand to Egypt and nearly everywhere in between, cultivating a love of animals at every stop. In honor of our pet issue, we sat down with Hilton Head’s answer to Dr. Doolittle to talk shop.

Not Just Cleaning: Lowcountry Clean Care
Long known for his home cleaning and disaster recovery services, Gerald Brant of Lowcountry Clean Care is a dyed-in-the-wool expert when it comes to rugs.
Odds are good you know how to clean a rug. You take it outside, you beat it with a broom handle a few times, and then maybe you spray some spot cleaner on the problem areas or you go whole hog and rent the bulky steam cleaner from the grocery store.
But that’s just cleaning a rug. What Gerald Brant, owner of Lowcountry Clean Care, does is far more than cleaning. It’s washing.
Wait, there’s a difference?
Pizza to Go at Pizza Co.
Deliriously tasty and dizzyingly fast, the pies at Pizza Co. might just be the next big thing in pie.
Trying to join a conversation between Pizza Co. co-founders Billy Watterson and Marshall Sampson is a bit like stepping into a hurricane. Like complementary currents of creativity, the pair feed off of each other as the inspiration flies back and forth—new menu items, slight tweaks to the décor of the Hilton Head Island location, ideas for the forthcoming Bluffton location, new options for their food truck, the logistics of installing new equipment for a menu item they’re looking to roll out.

Old School, New School at Bluffton Pharmacy
In a world of corporate chains, Bluffton Pharmacy is an unapologetic throwback to a simpler time. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t on top of the latest treatments.
There’s a decidedly old-school vibe when you walk into Bluffton Pharmacy. It’s the kind of place where they greet you by name when you walk in the door, where they ask about your family. It’s the kind of community hub many people thought had been lost in the day of the mega chains. It’s the kind of place you walk into and wonder why we ever started going to corporate drug stores in the first place. Especially when you start looking at the price tags and notice this old-school service and charm comes cheaper than the sterile corporate assembly line.
5 Drinks with John Roppelt & Aaron Glugover at The Main Street Café & Pub
Setting: The three of us snuggle up at a high-top, just off the side bar. We start at 3 p.m. with a few regulars in the bar. By the time I leave at 6:30 the place is jammed. Here we go… drink one coming up!
