SARAH FRICK Founder of The Works, The Renew and co-founder of The Works Cycle “For me, the best part about living in Mount Pleasant is the people, from the amazing community at The Works to my awesome neighbors who watch out for our family. And although our town has grown so much since I moved here in 2008, the charming scenery of Shem Creek and the magical views while driving over the Ben Sawyer Bridge will never, ever change.” “My home away from home is The Works! My clients are like family to me and teaching is my heart and soul! My favorite place to grab a quick dinner is the Post House. The Old Village Wine Shop is the best stop for a glass of wine. Celadon is my spot for all my home needs. For clothes and accessories, my go-to is the Ship of Fools on Ben Sawyer. There are so many amazing local businesses and we love to support local!” COURTNEY AND MICHAEL ZENTNER Co-founders of The Drifter and Merci “We absolutely love calling Mount Pleasant home! This is such a vibrant community with the perfect mix of quiet charm and modern convenience. Whether it’s the scenic views of the marsh or the friendly neighborhoods, we feel lucky to be surrounded by our friends and neighbors, along with so many great local spots to explore. Couldn’t ask for a better place to call home!” “Palmetto County Park is our go-to for fishing and letting the kids run around! Iggy’s Pizza never disappoints with its delicious pies. We also love Skoogies hot dogs — best hot dogs in town.” EMILY CRUSE Executive director of Be a Mentor “I love having easy access to the beach, nearby stores and the countryside just a short drive away. The best part of living in this community is how our neighbors constantly step up to help those in need. As the executive director of Be a Mentor, it means so much that I get to live in a place where people recognize their blessings and consistently take actions to make life a little better for someone else. For example, through our nonprofit, if a parent is struggling to pay a bill, it gets taken care of.” “One of my favorite things to do in Mount Pleasant is cruising at sunset with my husband. We roll the windows down, play our favorite music and watch the sunset over the Connector. I also love visiting the Waterfront Park — the beauty, cleanliness, easy parking and fantastic play area make it a perfect spot for families. The diversity of people there is incredible, making it a place that unites Mount Pleasant neighbors, visitors and those from across the bridge. And, of course, the soft serve ice cream is the best.” Our East Cooper Neighbors BY SARAH ROSE www.MountPleasantPets.com | www.CharlestonPetPodcast.com | www.ReadMPM.com
