His response? To start stocking eyewear. That, in a tortoiseshell, is the Ben Silver ethos: Bring a bit of the wider world to Charleston, and keep locals and tourists appeased. This men's emporium, on lower King Street in the Holy City's historic district, exalts the gentlemanly life. Framed thank-you notes from presidents past hang near the doorway... |
