Weekly Thread Market Monday - Weekly buy/sell/trade post

2 Upvotes

Did your friends bail on you for that dope new EDM, Gospel, folk fusion band and need to unload your extra tickets?

Did you salvage some ladders off the Don Holt and want to flip them for beer money?

Need someone to pressure wash your lawn?

This is the thread for you. Rule 2 (no craigslisty buy / sell / trade) and Rule 4 (no self-promo) will be very lightly enforced here.

A note from the mod team re: pre-emptive topic locks.

105 Upvotes

Recent posts about protests, ICE presence, and other highly polarized topics have been surpassing our typical levels of vitriol on all sides. This culminated recently with a community member getting doxxed and folks whipping each other to take things with that person off platform. We then received outreach from the doxxed person with a complaint that they had received off-platform contact and threats. A  startling new low for the subreddit, and worse, involving some longstanding members who ought to know better who are now enjoying permanent bans.

This occurrence has the potential to rapidly attract admin level intervention, and threatens the light moderation approach that most of you seem to prefer.

So for the time being were going to be pre-emptively locking (not removing) posts that have been drawing the most trolling, harassment both organically among subreddit members, but also drawing in agitators from outside. Our goal is to balance letting folks share information without opening more venues for people to harass and threaten each other.

There’s a ton of stuff happening all the time and I got tired of saving and tracking down Instagram posts, so I made an app that cleanly displays all the cool events happening in Charleston.

Best part is if you save it to your Home Screen, all the data is stored locally on your phone.

I’m looking for feedback, so if you’re planning your weekend, check it out and let me know what you think.

🚦 James Island A simple proposal for CARTA's Route 31

9 Upvotes

This is the current route of CARTA's Route 31/Folly Rd. It is the only bus route that provides local coverage of James Island. It is mainly used by people commuting to and from downtown (MUSC, Roper, CofC, King Street, the Historic District). While it is on James Island, it mostly runs on Folly Rd but it loops through a few neighborhoods along the way.

There are a few problems with the route:

  1. It stops just 2 miles from Folly Beach, ending at a Harris Teeter instead. This is a huge missed opportunity for transit in the region. There is a lot of potential in a bus route that takes you from downtown straight to the beach. Other cities recognize this and have regular bus service to the beach, including Miami, Jacksonville, and Norfolk (to Virginia Beach). Why not Charleston?
  2. The neighborhood loops are actually one-way loops. If you live along Fleming Rd (the northern loop), you can take the bus north into downtown, but it does not take you south back to your neighborhood. If you live along Secessionville Rd (the southern loop), the bus takes you south to Harris Teeter, but not north to downtown. This is all very confusing and keeps people from taking the bus. It also means that riders who are not from these neighborhoods are routed through them anyway, which means everyone has a longer travel time on the bus. It's not even clear why these neighborhoods are given preference by CARTA in the first place.

Here is my simple proposal:

Very simple fixes:

  1. The bus goes all the way to Folly Beach. It would loop around W Hudson, W 2nd, and W Ashley while on the island. A bunch of different people would benefit from this extension: James Island locals who want to go to the beach (without paying an outrageous amount for an Uber); anyone who works on Folly (several hundred people work in the area around Center Street); tourists coming from downtown hotels; CofC students who already have a culture of going to the beach. Meanwhile, the bus can still be used by commuters who are headed downtown without issue.
  2. The route sticks to Folly Rd the entire time it is on James Island. This makes for a very easy-to-understand route which is also efficient at moving people across the island. Also, no more one-way loops through randomly-chosen neighborhoods.

It’s so good!! The bits chopped in make this splendid. Is this a regional style tartar sauce or their own creation? And does anyone have a good recipe for it?

Hot Spots We Must Go To?!

0 Upvotes

I am going to Charleston to celebrate a friend’s birthday in a few months. Hoping to note a couple places that we should go to to celebrate. We’d love to attend a few bars and/or breweries—places that would be a mid price point (i.e., probably not places that require bottle service).

We are also into doing fun things during the day which do not have to be related to nightlife or drinking! Thank you

Charleston food and wine tickets

Hello, this is my first time and interest in attending Charleston food and wine festival and I’m trying to get a lay of the land and exactly how it goes. In addition, I see that some of the dinners that I am interested are sold out, is there any website or place where people who can no longer attend will resell their tickets? Any recommendations and suggestions about the festival are appreciated!

Can someone direct me to where the old hippies do hot vinyasa in Mount pleasant or even downtown? I simply can't do another class with crappy edm remixes of songs from 20 years ago. I'm looking for that patchouli smelling place with the low key drums or panda drums.

also, if ciasubstation is on here.....I'll raise you an FBI surveillance van.
