Mina & Conroy, Open for Business

  The unusual story of an unusually delightful partnership. By Pat Conroy I’ve just opened a place of business in downtown Port Royal, South Carolina. It is an odd thing to be doing at my age.

I owed Eric a favor – he’s been very generous with us here at Lowcountry Weekly – and he’d mentioned he had an upcoming exhibit at the USCB Gallery. Maybe I could help him promote it?
