A handful of free fun this week in Charleston

Image by Flickr user Mike TN Got some important paper you've been itching to ditch? Well the CP has the hookup.

Seems like it's slim pickings if you're wanting to do something free in Charleston this week, your choices are just about limited to a history lecture, a few art shows, and a paper shredding event.

The Charleston City Paper has a roundup of what's happening over here.

Oh, one notable absence is Thursday's Upper King Design District's Fall Design Walk, and I just have to give another clink for the sad news that 52.5 Records is done come Saturday.

But while the free events are slim pickings, there's plenty of paid fun to be had.
