Now the City is threatening to ticket pedistrians who exit the Shanklin Parking Garge on the Court Street side while the Boulevard is closed. Charleston is darned unfriendly to the folks that come to town to work and contribute to its economy -- they treat us like criminals!

waste of money. If it were more like Charlotte and brought in bigger names and bigger crowds, I could see it. But then the bigger crowds would be paying for it. Not the 99.9% of people that don't actually go to those mediocre at best, so called, concerts.
