Life in downtown Charleston
Charleston, South Carolina is a city known for its fascinating history, friendly people and southern charm. Also known as "The Holy City" because of the many church steeples that fill the skyline and this was one of the few cities from the thirteen colonies that provided religious tolerance. In fact, Charleston was one of the first colonial cities to allow Jews to practice without any restrictions. 
Charleston is a water-influenced city being located on a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides: the Ashley River, Cooper River and the Atlantic Ocean. Port activity, behind tourism, is Charleston’s leading source of revenue. The Port of Charleston was also ranked number one, by supply chain executives, in customer satisfaction across North America.
Along with the resident’s friendly demeanor, Charleston was also dubbed the “best-mannered” city in the U.S. by America’s most published etiquette expert, Marjabelle Young Stewart in 1995.
One of the only downsides to this beautiful city is the heat index during the summer season. Charleston has a humid subtropical climate making the winters relatively warm and hot, humid summers.
There are many ways to escape the summer heat with all of the near-by beaches and indoor attractions.
Some of the most popular attractions in Charleston have to do with the interesting history that this city possesses. The Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon is the home to where various signers of the Declaration of Independence gathered as well as hosted events for George Washington in the late 1700’s and the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. The first museum to ever be built in the U.S. is also here, known as the Charleston Museum and was founded in 1773.
The Charleston RiverDogs is the local minor league baseball team co-owned by Bill Murray who often attends games. 
Fishing off the Battery, rickshaw rides through the streets and shopping are other popular past-times for locals and visitors alike.
There are many neighborhoods within the city limits; the most esteemed being South of Broad where visitors have included Robert Edward Lee, Teddy Roosevelt, and George Washington. Another prestigious neighborhood downtown is the French Quarter, a historic neighborhood with upscale boutiques and impressive real estate. A more affordable, yet also historic neighborhood is Wagener Terrace with charming cottages and family homes.
