At the beginning of the year, we’ll shift our weekly Mystery Photo to the Charleston City Paper and publish it every Monday in our morning newsletter. Every weekday, the City Paper publishes a roundup of recent news.  Every afternoon, there’s a specialty newsletter on a range of issues from food (Tuesday) and music (Thursday) to arts (Monday) and opinion (weekends).
