Hello my dear readers. The time has come; today is the day that Charleston City Paper released the results for this year’s Best of Charleston. Although I’m very saddened to not have won Best Local Interest Blog, I am extremely grateful to all of you who took the time to vote for me! We’ll get ’em next year.
