We’re beginning to make “merch”—cool stuff like coffee cups and hats. We’ll tell you more later.
SCTOWNS | Palmetto Places | Enjoy Digital News From The Road
Rediscover South Carolina’s Towns—and the Amazing People Who Call Them Home
South Carolina is more than beaches, tourist attractions, and interstate exits. Follow the old roads and Main Streets and you'll discover towns with personalities all their own—and people with stories worth telling.
SCTowns | Palmetto Places is a digital magazine published by Reach One Media, celebrating the people, places, traditions, history, humor, and everyday life of the Palmetto State.
We're out there exploring South Carolina ourselves—and bringing the stories home to you.
People to Know. Places to Go. Stories to Enjoy.
Look for great feature stories from communities large and small… caricatures introducing neighbors worth knowing… hometown businesses… fine restaurants and favorite local eateries… legends and lore… historic churches and landmarks… artists and craftsmen… local traditions… and the wonderfully interesting people we meet along the way.
You'll also find our original Town Toons, Saltwater Colors, Palmetto Silhouettes, and other artwork inspired by South Carolina life.
Sometimes we set out looking for a story.
Sometimes the best ones find us.
Just Over the Hill
We hope SCTowns inspires you to do some exploring of your own.
You don't need a week's vacation. There may be a fascinating town, a memorable meal, an interesting shop, a piece of history, or somebody you really ought to meet just over the hill and around the next turn in the road.
Follow along with us—and every now and then, grab the keys and go see for yourself.
Stories Worth Sharing
SCTowns is also creating original features, cartoons, caricatures, illustrations, and community-interest stories for town and community newspapers and publications across South Carolina.
We believe local publications do something important: they tell the stories that help communities know and appreciate themselves.
Reach One Media is pleased to contribute to that tradition with positive, entertaining, professionally prepared stories and artwork celebrating the towns and people of South Carolina.
So whether you're a reader looking for your next Saturday adventure, a community with a story worth telling, or an editor looking for something special for your readers…
Come along. We have a lot of South Carolina left to discover.

Just Imagine…
Look Who We Found!
One of the most enjoyable parts of SCTowns | Palmetto Places is introducing our readers to the people we meet along the way—with a story and, quite often, a caricature.
You might recognize the mayor… a favorite shopkeeper… the high school coach… a pastor or minister… a local artist… a longtime volunteer… or maybe even the person who sits across the aisle from you in church on Sunday morning.
For town and community newspapers, these professionally created caricatures offer another fun way to feature the people who make local news local. They can accompany personality profiles, community features, columns—and even stories about local businesses and advertisers.
And here's the fun part:
People notice when somebody they know shows up as a cartoon in the newspaper.
They show their friends. They share it. They save the clipping. And chances are pretty good that somebody says, “Hey… when are you going to draw ME?”
That's exactly the kind of fun we want to bring to the pages of SCTowns—and to community publications across South Carolina.

Laughter Is Powerful… And Humor Sells!
For many years, cartoons (and sports) were the most popular items in the big newspapers across the country. Humor is contagious— people love to laugh.
Every town has one or two groups of men who gather regularly (often daily) for breakfast, coffee, or a meal—and to solve the problems of the world too. Although they sometimes take a break from that to talk about sports (especially during football season). And don’t forget those church, covered dish suppers, Vacation Bible School, the local festival, the Christmas parade, and a host of other things that people who live in towns know… understand… and cherish!
Our “Town Toons” cartoon feature goes to the heart of living in a town (both in the town limits or in the country near the town). “Hometown” is still nostalgic theme, and Opa, our humorist, captures those precious moments in cartoons that anre always family friendly and memorable too.
AND YES—THEY MAKE GREAT FILLERS TOO WHEN YOU’RE TRYING TO DO YOUR LAYOUT!
