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
