The Best Of MOunt Pleasant 2015 is PrOBaBly One
of the most anticipated issues of the year. Mount Pleasant Magazine
not only feels passionate about the Best Of issue, but we feel our ef-

reader – so much value that we decided to publish the results in our
new annual custom magazine, Best Of Mount Pleasant 2015.
The fact that 36,800 readers cast their vote in 140 categories is one more indi-
cator of the popularity of the Best Of Mount Pleasant. Publishing the results in a
special publication will allow residents to refer back to the results throughout the
year. When they are looking for that special dining spot or where to grab a cock-
tail, it will be at their fingertips. If you need a professional such as a plumber, Real-
tor, doctor or dentist, you’ll know who to call by thumbing through these pages or
accessing them online at .
