The owner and publisher, Torrey Monroe, grew up in Florence, SC. As a kid, he and his family spent time every summer at Seabrook Island, and he fell in love with the Charleston area. He moved to Charleston via Atlanta in 1999, and in January of 2002, published the first issue of what was then called the Senior Sun.

In July of 2006, the name of the paper was changed from Senior Sun to Lowcountry Sun, in an effort to expand readership to include the baby boomer generation.

The Lowcountry Sun is a family-oriented business dedicated to producing a quality, informative and entertaining monthly newspaper with which to find solutions for anything and everything related to life at 50, and after. Our goal is to provide a wide variety of articles, photographs, and features of interest to mature adults regarding federal and state legislative issues, Social Security concerns, fraud and abuse information, Medicare and Medicaid topics, nutrition and healthcare information, travel & leisure, caregiving, home improvement, financial and legal advice and grandparenting.

We welcome your comments regarding previous or current articles or suggestions for future articles or topics that you would like to hear more of.

All content of the newspaper and website is intended to educate, inform and entertain. Opinions expressed are the sole responsibility of the contributor and do not necessarily reflect those of the publication, its owners or staff.
