So, what’s fall like in Charleston?

Check out what y’all had to say.

There’s something a bit nostalgic about cool mornings + evenings in the Lowcountry, right?

On Monday, I asked y’all what you thought fall felt like in Charleston. I got a couple of really great answers that I thought I’d share for all those readers who tend to romanticize this season a bit (aka, me).

Reader Michelle P. said, “Being a fall baby, nothing feels like fall than open windows at night and the Coastal Carolina Fair is near.”

We don’t want to give too much away, but stay tuned for more fair content coming your way. 👀

Reader Holly S. shared, “Fall feels like my first deep breath when I step outside because the humidity is gone. It is that clear sky at the horizon with no humidity haze.

It is the magnificent colors of sunsets. It is getting a parking spot at the beach. It is that beautiful tree whose leaves are red and orange which stands out in the middle of all that green.”

These answers were pretty darn spectacular and I couldn’t not share them with you. Anyone else find themselves falling in love with our city a bit more each day? Bring on the cool weather, y’all.
