Charleston is a poor man’s New Orleans

I’ll step out on a limb here and say NO has more poor people.

Doesn't Charleston market itself as "the Paris of the South"?

ETA: I've never been.....but I hear St. Patrick's Day is big there

You thinking of Savanah, GA

It’s kind of nice to not worry about being robbed or murdered tho

Although many of the Charleston ghettos are now hipster havens, there is still plenty of crime to go 'round there. And the traffic has become Atlanta-level unbearable. I give Charleston a meh-plus these days. The saltmarsh and cool beaches like Folly and Edisto are sweet but the overall un-livability and cost of living have made it much less desirable for me personally over the past 15 years.

Eta downvotes from basic bitches who've been on "vacay" to Charleston once.

Yes. Thanks for the correction.

Charleston has plenty of culcha, go check out the other side of town

I’ve lived in this state all my life and have never heard either of these.


St Patty’s is big in Savannah, GA

I was there last weekend. I was surprised how much the area I was at reminded me of the French quarter.....without bums and fearing for my life.

I downvoted you and I went to college and worked in Charleston.

Charleston’s ghettos are long gone with the exception of North Charleston.

Charleston is way better than Nola. Edisto, Folly, IOP. The food is great in both cities.

Chucktown doesn’t have a Bourbon St type area but that’s another plus.

It also smells much better.
