We love our little city
Over 12 years ago

Charleston has a lot going on for being a small city. Capitol Street has great restaurants and Taylor Books, and Capitol Market is one of the best year-round farmers  More

Major life line factories in this town are laying off big time. I know the unemployment rate is much higher than listed, because hundreds of people are being laid off  More
