southern comfort

Life in the city. From the baskets sold on every street corner, meticulously woven by women native to the South to the waterfront Battery with its endless view from bridge to bridge; from the state flag flapping in the breeze to the forts guarding the entry to the port of Charleston; from the children playing in the fountains to the horses clip clopping down cobblestone streets, Charleston is lovely. The depth of the history is told by the people who live and work here, by the architectural grace of long and close set houses dating from centuries gone by, by the towering white columns, arched entry ways and church steeples rising into the hazy blue sky. This is a place of learning and pleasure, ghosts and graveyards, yesterdays and todays, with a strong undercurrent of historical significance that leaves an impression. It's a place of charm, filled with the echoes of a hundred thousand footsteps and brimming near to overflowing with the truest form of southern comfort. This is Charleston.
