Holy City Sinner’s Top Ten Stories for 2015

It was another newsworthy year in Charleston (and by far the biggest year for Holy City Sinner). As we welcome in 2016, let’s take a look at the blog’s most viewed stories from 2015.

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:

Let’s call the first entry “1a,” because the most viewed story actually came from 2014…

• Charleston Named Top City in U.S.; 2nd Best in the World
  • For some reason this post from October 2014 started spreading like wildfire in the middle of 2015 on Facebook. I’m still not entirely sure why that is, but it definitely brought plenty of extra page views to the blog.

Now for the posts that were actually published this year:
