For those of you who haven’t been downtown recently, King Street has been in various stages of “streetscaping” since … well, by our reckoning, at least the Reagan Administration. With all that improving going on, we’ve found ourselves paying closer attention to the sidewalk, both for safety and aesthetic reasons. Which brings us to a game: 
The rules for this one are pretty simple. On the left, three street-level entrances to three King Street buildings, each numbered. On the right, three signs, each with a corresponding letter. Put the right number with the right letter. Impress your friends!
Plus, as an added bonus for our online friends, we've got a couple of Web-only pictures for you...
The entryway above is almost obscured with on-sale product, but there should be enough visible lettering to give long-time Charlestonians what they need to identify this store...
Meanwhile...
This one has been stumping people over at Xark! for days. Can you figure out what King Street business lies on the other side of this beautifully tiled entryway?
FYI, blogger Pam Morris of Tales From The Microbial Laboratory was the first to identify the mystery entrance above: It's the doorway to what is now Joe Pasta.

Hey! Where's my beer? Doesn't the winner get a beer??? Or two???? We need prizes - we need incentives! What about a plaque or better yet...perhaps I should wear a special tiara for a day? I happen to recall seeing a few in the abode of a certain P&C employee....

OK, the proper connections are:
1C -- The bar Torch at 545 King St.
2A -- Peking Gourmet at 555 King St.
3B -- Hines Studio Architectural Art Glass at 579 King St.
The partially obscured sidewalk? Chase Furniture Company at 414 King St., which was still Chase Furniture Company at that original address when I took these pictures in February. It's empty now.
