Notable People and iconic Landmarks In and From West Ashley:
The Coburg Cow
The Coburg Cow, an iconic landmark that can be seen spinning regally near the Harris Teeter on Savannah Highway, now has a Twitter account.
It all started in late September 2023, when the iconic rotating bovine, which was erected in 1959, was taken down in preparation for Hurricane Florence, which was forecasted to strike the East Coast later that week.
To tried-and-true Charlestonians, this action is a sign of something serious; rarely does the beloved spotted critter get removed from her lofty perch.
As she was taken down by crane Monday afternoon, someone felt it was an “udder” shame the famous cow was not represented properly on social media.
Therefore, a Twitter account was created in the cow’s name, with the bio “don’t have a cow, man.” The cow’s first post read as such:
“yes, it’s true, I’m down. please listen to @chswx people, he knowns SO MUCH MORE about weather than a cow (and I’m not even a real cow). #chswx#HurricaneFlorence”
