Awards
Who’s Honoring Us Now?
It seems not a day goes by without the Holy City being given another award. It’s getting harder and harder to keep track of how amazing our city is, so I decided to compile a master list for quick and easy referencing. In a nod to Stephen Colbert, one of Charleston’s favorite sons, I’ve borrowed (ok, stolen) the title of one of his popular Colbert Report segments for the title of this list. So, without further adieu, here is “Who’s Honoring Us Now…”
