“Walking the streets of Charleston in the late afternoons of August 

was like walking through gauze or inhaling damaged silk.”

Charleston Quotes

Charleston, SC 

Charleston has a landscape that encourages intimacy and partisanship. I have heard it said that an inoculation to the sights and smells of the Carolina lowcountry is an almost irreversible antidote to the charms of other landscapes, other alien geographies. You can be moved profoundly by other vistas, by other oceans, by soaring mountain ranges, but you can never be seduced. You can even forsake the lowcountry, renounce it for other climates, but you can never completely escape the sensuous, semitropical pull of Charleston and her marshes.

Pat Conroy

I'll take this town.....

Charleston Street Poetry

I'll take this town,
I'll make it my own
I'll walk the street.
I'll feel the beat
of the sun on my face
I'll say, I like it here,
and I'll stay.

And I did!
