Meanwhile, Charleston’s iconic “Piggly Wiggly” house — complete with pig statues — sold for $7.2 million, just shy of its asking price. On the sports scene, the Charleston Battery coach predicts a narrow 1-0 U.S. win over Paraguay in the World Cup. And for literature lovers, the Charleston Literary Festival is unveiling a major American Revolution symposium and a star-studded 2026 author lineup with over 45 panels and 60+ writers.
