May we infer that April was a bit of a blur? For those of you who always count on the extra day (sorry Sep., April, June, + Nov.; plus three for Feb.) we’ve put together our top five stories from last month for you to bookmark + read at your leisure.

  1. I’ve got 99 problems + most of them have to do with money // It’s no secret that Charleston costs dollar dollar bills, y’all. But we wanted to find out exactly what that means. So, we crunched some numbers to see how the Holy City stacks up compared to some of our neighbors— and we were shocked by what we discovered. 💸
  2. Welcome to my #DreamHome // It’s the Lowcountry-version of MTV Cribs. These historic dwellings, modern lofts, + penthouses are some of the most impressive homes in the citycomplete with extraordinary price tags. 🏠
  3. Trails to peak your interest // We’ve teamed up with Girls Who Hike S.C. to conquer 10 trails across the state– each offering something for every type of hiker– whether you want to see cool waterfalls or rack up some serious miles. ⛰
  4. #Asked: What is Charleston missing? // We asked our readers to share the businesses on their ‘Charleston Wish List.’ From addressing the lack of authentic ethnic food, to lamenting the absence of a Cheesecake Factory, we compiled the most popular suggestions.
  5. But do they have live music? // Looking to catch a concert here in CHS? These music venues are pulling in some big-name acts. 🎤
