Big news, Charleston: The restrooms at City Hall are now open to the public on weekends.
The city announced today that, thanks to a partnership with the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, the potties on the ground floor at 80 Broad St. are now open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The rest of City Hall is open to the public Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Combine that with the documented shortage of public bathrooms on the peninsula? Good news all around. Take it from us, Charleston: You’re in for a treat.
