First and foremost, HOME. Where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers converge to form the Atlantic Ocean. Also the largest "city" in SC. I put city in quotes because it has a small town feel but has almost 1,000,000 in the metro area. Everybody knows everybody here, so if you do something (case in point: Thomas Ravenel, former SC treasurer who went to prison for cocaine dealing), it can ruin not only you but your family's reputation.
Don't confuse Charleston with the shithole Ohioan colony of Mt. Pleasant, which is across the Cooper River, most of the people there are self righteous and fake.
Pros:
Excellent Food
Doesn't feel crowded
Nice weather
Lots of stores
decent airport
great economy
Local news channels are good
I was born here
Cons
TOO MANY DAMN OHIOANS MOVING HERE
Roads are shit
Property is expensive
The TV show "Southern Charm"
In the same county as Mt. Pleasant

1) Ohioan: I just moved to Charleston from Cleveland! It's sooooo nice here, but everyone sounds funny. GO BUCKEYES!
Me: WE'RE FULL GO BACK
2) Person from Mt. Pleasant: I live in Charleston!
Someone from Charleston: no honey you're from Mt. Plastic

Get the The Charlestonmug. Cities like Charleston, Savannah, and New Orleans (and even Norfolk/Hampton Roads) being port cities tend to have larger intact historic areas and older intact buildings than a lot of the inland cities in the South. A lot of the large commercial areas in the South were built up inland instead of near ports and waterways, though New Orleans and Norfolk have high rise office buildings.
People sometimes try and compare a port city like Charleston to an inland city like Nashville or Atlanta, and tell you one is more like the true South than the other, since some cities have newer buildings, which is bullshit.
