North Central, Charleston 

North Central, Charleston is a neighborhood on the Charleston Peninsula of artist, writers, and musicians adjacent to the equally hip sections of Wagener Terrace and Hampton Park. Creatives and trendsetters spill from fashionable sidewalk cafe’s and pubs that surround Upper King, Morrison Drive, and Rutledge Ave, while an eclectic dining scene features dive bars, artisan coffee houses, bbq restaurants and smart gastropubs.

The neighborhood is also the terminus of the future low line greenway that will traverse the Charleston Peninsula. North Central is a desirable home for all walks of life; forever singles, diverse families and a mix of ethnic backgrounds harmoniously exist here.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
