One Month down. 🙌

One month ago, we launched CHStoday with a party at Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co. + our very first CHStoday newsletter.

With 31,000+ of you spending each day with us– whether it’s right here, on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, we’re feeling the love. 💓

In case you’re new here (welcome 👋) or need to bookmark some reading for the weekend, we’re revisiting our top 5 stories of our first month.

  1. 4,930 rooms + counting– We checked-in on the number of hotels going-up across the peninsula + what accommodations are being made. 🏨
  2. Running trails to get you Bridge Run ready– The Cooper River Bridge Run is 23 days away. These trials are the pathway to getting into running shape. 🏃
  3. S.C. ranked nearly last in education + 42nd overallUnpopular opinion: S.C. isn’t always No. 1. We compared the state against the nation in topics including, but not limited to: education, infrastructure, fiscal stability, + quality of life.
  4. Start planning your weekend escapeWanna get away? With the help of AirBnB + HomeAway, we’ve rounded-up 6 homes along the Carolina coast for the perfect escape or staycation. 🏖
