Charleston’s wild year: Shrimp, protests & school cuts

Charleston saw a whirlwind of stories this year—remember the “Shrimp-Gate” uproar? Locals were shocked when dozens of restaurants were accused of faking ‘local’ shrimp, though the lawsuit fizzled out. Then there was the scary moment at Sullivan’s Island when a car hit two kids and an adult outside a church. Community voices also rang out in “No Kings” rallies across the state, pushing back on ICE raids and fighting for free speech. But what really hit home was the $84 million in school funding withheld, leaving teachers and families worried about the future. Which of these stories stuck with you most? #Safety #Charleston #ShrimpGate
