Charleston is a lovely historic city. The preservation of the architecture is important to the city and the inhabitants, and this has created a downtown that is both fun to visit and a wonderful place to live. Against the backdrop of this city is a beautiful harbor, one of the oldest colleges in the country and an international arts festival, Spoleto, which brings people from all over the world.
Unfortunately, the beautiful houses and warm winters have brought many newcomers with a lot more money than locals. So the fabric of downtown has changed, since many homes in the historic district are no longer owned and lived in by native South Carolinians. But, all things do change, and that change hasn't cost Charleston to lose its beauty or soul.
