Best Kept Secret in the South

I had the pleasure of visiting Charleston, SC in 2007 and was highly impressed with what the city had to offer. Coming from the northeast Charleston seemed more like a large neighborhood then a "city" but it has its own identity. You see, this southern city boasts a steepled skyline, charming antebellum homes, and streets lined with lush foliage. The best part about Charleston are the people. Residents say good morning and wave to you. If someone accidently bumps into you they politely say, "excuse me." I recall asking someone for directions and they took the time to write down every detail (that doesn't happen in NJ or NY).
Downtown Charleston is very walkable as you stroll past art galleries, cafes, and well groomed, pocket parks. As a city goer I was pleasantly surprised by the infrastructure, not to mention the endless shopping on King Street and the ample supply of wonderful lowcountry food. In fact, Charleston took such a hold of me that I sold my home and moved there.
If you have the opportunity to visit Charleston be warned, you'll want become a resident... God Bless.
