re: Charleston, SC is the jewel of the South

The Confederacy was born in South Carolina. The first shots of the war were fired in Charleston. The Confederate Flag flew on our statehouse this century. This is the most retarded take I've seen on this site, and just imagine how retarded that must be.

Doesn't Savannah have a paper mill that stinks up the place?

That would be a disqualifier.

might take away the jewel part

but about the most southern thing there is

Charleston is cleaner, safer overall, has decent beaches nearby, and is generally more upscale than New Orleans. The people are not nearly as nice and the place is overrun with Yankee transplants. However, it is much more traditional "southern" than New Orleans and most places in Louisiana. I lived there for four years and just moved away.

New Orleans, Savannah, and Charleston are all very similar on a spectrum. Charleston is the cleanest and safest but you can't drink in the streets and people are generally more rude, New Orleans is dirty with no beaches but you can drink in the streets, and Savannah is somewhere in between both. Food in NOLA/Charleston is a good bit better than Savannah on the whole.

Uh no

Most of the new money southern yuppies are from Mt Pleasant. (Across the bridge). The old money lives in The Battery.

I like Wilmington better than any of the other three being debated. It's starting to get overrun, but it's still a fun, smaller city.
