By Andy Brack, editor and publisher  |  As part of Renaissance Weekend several years ago in Charleston, some participants gave downtown walking tours to visitors wanting to know more about the Holy City.

Mine was called the “Liar’s Tour.”  The dozen people in the group were told that everything they heard on the tour was true – except for one thing.  Their job was to figure out the lie.

So they heard about the Big Brick, a high-end brothel on Fulton Street that  now is a fancy restaurant.  They learned about the fire that destroyed a Catholic cathedral in 1861, an inn that was home to a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Four Corners of Law and the nation’s oldest theater.
