When people ask me, what is my
favorite city, I am torn. But I will say that Charleston ranks as one
of my top three US cities. I love it because it is historic, clean,
fun to walk around, and the people couldn't be nicer. There was a law
passed in Charleston that says if a building is 75 years old, it can
not be torn down. People resisted this law, but today, it's one of the
major reasons why Charleston is so appealing. Here just a few shots of
the beauty Charleston has to offer.
Charleston has survived
hurricanes and even a devastating earthquake. You can see on the left
picture a few round black bolts. Metallic bars go throughout the
middle of each structure to add support. These are mandatory in
Charleston, as if an earthquake struck once, it can strike again. On
the right is where South Carolina ratified the Constitution. Some say
the building is haunted.
In the middle is Ed
Grimball ... he's one of the best tour guides I have ever met. Look
him up if ever in Charleston. |
