Are they really the “Forgotten Sons of the Union?”
I thought that finding the 19 remains of African American soldiers from the Civil War on Folly Beach in 1987 was the hard part. It wasn’t. Then in 2009 I thought that raising funds for a South Carolina historical marker to honor these soldiers was going to be difficult. It wasn’t. And now, in... »
Letter from the editor . . .
Allegations . . . denials . . . secret meetings . . . Where does it all end? There seems to be some truth to what everyone says, but how is any of it helping Folly Beach? The most recent spate of accusations revolves around the attempted purchase of the Front Beach Inn property... »
Op-Ed: The Folladays
by Richard Brendel It’s time for a little common sense with the powers-that-be on Folly Beach. With a mayoral and city council election coming up, the issues that face Folly have been brought to the forefront during many residential discussions. Let’s recap.

Same ol’ Folly
By Smoky Weiner I ran into an old Folly friend today by the name of Tom T. Hall. No, not the country singer who penned the immortal tune “Four Hundred Hogs”, a song about a trucker hauling a hundred thousand pounds of angry bacon. This was Tom T. Hall, Folly’s capable and oft beleaguered... »
Opinion: The Anti-youth movement
By Joel Flores If you are a member of the 18-25 age group, your days of “getting folly” on Folly are numbered. Let’s face it. There’s more white hair on the combined heads of the Folly Beach City Council than there are on a herd of aging polar bears. So it came as no... »
Into the great unopened
By Smoky Weiner There’s an area of Folly that only I and a few select others know. I don’t mean to sound like a know-it-all or anything, but it’s true! The size of this area is probably about twenty five percent of the entire Folly Beach area and yet not one of us has... »
