What would Charleston be like if the city announced that there would be no more parking tickets downtown? Or if a ban on local breweries went into effect?
We asked you what the wildest citywide prank would be — and you did not disappoint. What would Charleston be like if…
“Beaches closed for the summer.” —Kimberly C.
“The Cooper River Bridge now requires a toll.” —Erin L.
“Free meals for all people on cruise lines!” —@justridedallas
“A curfew for all business downtown at 5 p.m. The weekends would be an eerie ghost town.” —@morganbrekken
“Coburg cow had a baby! Wait…that already happened. Lol” —Christine M.
“Tolls to get into the city. 😂” —@pblackstock50
“I LOVE this! My announcement would be: ‘GREAT news! The mosquitos no longer bite you and suck blood but give you anti-aging benefits!’ 😂🎉” —@ildertonbookkeepingllc
“Rainbow row to be painted monochromatic.” —@brittanypaulwogamon
“Closing all downtown streets to horse and carriage or foot traffic only. No cars.” —@brittanypaulwogamon
“The City of Charleston proudly announced that City Permits are no longer required… for anything!” —Mike H.
“Dogs are no longer allowed.” —@percy.church
“An article dated in year 2050. “Charleston officially named the new Atlantis as the last church steeple disappears below the tide.” —Bailey P.
“Downtown dining and bars will be open to tourists only! ID checks at the door will turn away SC residents.” —Erik R.
“All boat access to the water is suspended until further notice.” —Michele V.
“SC DOT announces roadwork closures on Ravenel and 526 bridges beginning immediately expected completion Fall 2022.” —Heidi H.
“The bridge is going to be shut down for an unforeseen maintenance period until further notice…” —Kirsten L.
“Bill Murray named new president of the College of Charleston. 😂” —@pamharringtonrealestate
“Boating will be prohibited on Saturday and Sundays.” —Helen B.
All we have to say is that we’re happy these are fake situations. Charleston just wouldn’t be the same if we had a 5 p.m. curfew or if we couldn’t enjoy the beaches during the summer.
Thanks for participating. ‘Till next April Fools’ Day, Charleston. 👋
