A very important question about the Holy City has been discussed on Reddit: What is your Charleston life hack? Here are some of our favorite responses:

Rain boots in the trunk of the car.
Free parking downtown after 6 p.m. and Sunday.
Bring baby powder with you to the beach and put it on your feet when you leave to get all the sand off before you get in your car.
Stay within the channel markers.
Drive a car with decent ground clearance. Those flood puddles are no joke.
Learn the tides.
Don’t drive a white car or wear white clothes in spring or fall during lovebug season.
Gold pass. Must have.
If there is a parking spot right by the place you’re going to and a parking spot down the street in the shade, park in the shade.
Leave an hour and a half ahead of time to get anywhere on time.

Now it's your turn. If you have the secret to success in Charleston, let us know here.
