We (KSMA, Charleston Moves, Charleston Cycle Chic and EpicVu, LLC) are asking people in the Charleston, SC area if they'd be more likely to shop, dine and come to King Street if there were an event centered around closing the street for a day. We'd also like to hear from merchants about whether or not they think it would help or harm their business.
This is a popular trend in US Cities such as Ann Arbor, MI and Winter Park, FL... In fact, New York will be closing their streets to cars for three days in August - (72nd Street from Park Avenue to Fifth Avenue to link to Central Park) and made Time Square a car-free zone indefinitely.
For additional information about what other cities are doing please visit the KSMA Blog at http://www.ksma.wordpress.com

Absolutely! I wish they would close it to cars frequently.

No. I'd rather be able to park next to where I shop and this sounds like a headache to me.
