Once again, Charlestonians are collectively losing their minds over the possibility that a celebrity is vacationing in the Holy City. In the past, it’s been Johnny Depp, Channing Tatum, Jake Gyllenhaal, and, well, too many other celebrities that were actually never even in town. This time it’s Ryan Gosling, and I’ve got proof that he is in town. In fact, I’ve been following him all day. Here’s a brief list of what The Notebook hottie has been doing since he touched down in the Holy City.
