Really hard to say, though it was beautiful and our room overlooked the river. So much was closed due to the stay at home orders.

The Town Center Mall is losing more stores, especially upsetting to see Macys is now gone. I visit Charleston twice a year and always shop at this mall. Its sad to see so many stores closing and no new stores taking their place.
