There is nothing better on a warm (or cool) sunny day in Charleston, then to sit on a bench in one of the parks and read a book, people watch, or reflect on current events. Washington square offers so much of everything. A regular meeting point for walking tours, friends who want to catch up, or a place to sit and eat your lunch (just be sure to recycle). There is history in and around every wall in Washington Square, all you have to do is take a moment to open your senses, take it all in, and reflect on how this small square came to be. Be sure to stay off the grass though, because as beautiful as it is, it is also fragile and there is a lot of new growth as they try to make it green again. I always stumble upon Washington Square while out on my adventures, and each time I come upon it from a different angle, I'm welcomed in by it's monuments, oak trees, and park benches. One does not simply walk by Washington Square without walking through Washington Square, just because it's there ...
