Holy City Sinner’s Top Ten Stories for 2014

It was another eventful year in Charleston (and by far the biggest year for Holy City Sinner). As we welcome in 2015, let’s take a look at the blog’s most viewed stories from 2014.

FYI – I did not include the daily calendar or resource guides, which all rack up a lot of page views throughout the year.

Here’s the list, starting with the most viewed story of the year:
