Review of Charleston, South Carolina


Hmmmm. Number one destination in the country???
Star Rating - 3/11/2015
Let's see...the worst drivers in the country...number one in domestic abuse...the worst school system...corrupt government...high poverty rate...low wages...and the rudest people on earth. So much for southern hospitality. You almost have to apologize if you're from the north. You have to bend over backwards to prove that you don't feel like you're better than the natives to dispel their pre-formed opinions. The infrastructure is terrible and the roads are awful even though you pay a property tax on your vehicle. Gas is cheap, but not for long cause the dear governor wants to charge a gas tax. No vehicle inspections so cars broke down everywhere. Accidents everywhere and 4 of 5 drivers are talking and texting. Not to mention the drivers who pull out in front of you regularly and turn left on a 6 lane main thoroughfare.
Oh yes, and I almost forgot to mention all this culture. How many times can you see the same historical attractions. Architecture?...please. Beaches....please. Now they want to prohibit parking. How else do you get there?! Downtown nightlife consists of loud rowdy packed bars packed with 20 somethings. Where are the nice jazz lounges for the adults who appreciate live quality entertainment.
Welcome to the number one destination for the rich and priveledged.

Wow! The community that gets to call this whiner a member is indeed fortunate! She is definitely the poster child for promoting the stereotypical Yankee; negative, abrasive and graceless. Please... do us all a favor and go live ANYWHERE else but Charleston!
