King St., Charleston, S.C.
Check out Charleston Moves blog for the scoop on the upcoming Car Free King St. Day on November 22. Coolness! I took a couple of pictures of King St. after an event and people were hanging out, walking, visiting and enjoying it so much.
Coming on November 22, the stretch of King Street between Calhoun and Broad is to be closed to auto traffic, creating a streetscape reminiscent of earlier days on the City's "Main Street." It's a plan promoted by a coalition of local groups and individuals, with the blessing of Mayor Joseph Riley, according to Charleston Bicycle Chic's Kristin Walker, one of the organizers.Let's do it. Walk on!
What a treat to not have to drive on King Street, much as a pedestrian dodging traffic. I am sure it will be fun.

ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific way to get people to walk around and enjoy the shops and restaurants. And it looks like a perfect day weather wise. Nice idea!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of car free day, although it would be highly impractical here in Jackson.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a neat street to hang out on.
Yes, nice idea in deed. Hope to be there to visit in a couple of weeks for a big photo shoot. Counting down the days! You're making me homesick for my favorite city!
