LOCAL BUSINESS

Most people put off writing a will because they picture a lawyer, a meter running, and a conversation they’d rather not have. JP Rankin bussed tables and managed nightclubs before law school, which is a roundabout way of saying he’s easy to talk to. He now leads estate and trust planning at Smith Debnam in Charleston — wills, trusts, and the part nobody wants to think about, handled plainly.

Which Mount Pleasant are you?
With every corner of town in one room at Thursday's Expo, it's a good week to settle the eternal debate with our honest guide to Mount Pleasant's neighborhoods — Old Village to Carolina Park, what each one actually feels like, and who each one fits. It's the page we send anyone who asks "so where should we look?"
More Mt P between Mondays — we're on Instagram at @mountpleasantscoop with events, gems, and the occasional sunset that doesn't look real.
