Absolutely loved this. We live an hour South of Charleston but rarely get up there, unfortunately. The last time we were there, we had an amazing 40 mile walk around the battery (I might exaggerate a bit) and then an amazing lunch at Fleet. Charleston is amazing. Have you done a Savannah tour? I looked and didn't see it.
Wow! I played soccer tournaments annually here, I would love to go back and see all that you see in your video that was missed! Such outstanding editing, information, and dialogue!!
Thank you for the great video! It def makes me want to visit. I love the music choices in your video too. Are you guys from Fl too? I noticed the dolphins shirt lol. Tnx again! ❤
I am a native Charlestonian! I love my city.. thanks for this video. As to the previous comment.. not everyone who does not live in the city proper lives in a trailer.. plus what is wrong with a trailer? Prejudice alive and well!,
Wow, that's the first time I ever watched this video! And I gotta say not only you two are wonderful, but educational also! Keep up the good work on TH-cam, you both are doing great!😁☺️😇 Even though I never visit South Carolina, but it's pretty amusing by the way.
On the way to Fort Moultrie there was a sea food restaurant. It looked like an old run down two story house. I haven't been back in several years I wonder if it is still there. It had the best sea food!
Sehr gutes Video mit sehr guten Informationen über Charleston 😀. Ich war 2002,2004,2006 und 2008 in dieser schönen Stadt. Liebe und schöne Grüße aus Ingolstadt /Deutschland 🍀❤️
I'm originally from Charleston, and this may be the best Charleston video I have ever seen! Living in Atlanta now but going to see my family next week. I forgot just how beautiful the city is, and I plan to spend some time sightseeing again. Thank you!
I live her and born here. Truly is on beautiful city but everyone knows that. Love tourists but they come back to live here. Roads are having problems handling traffic. Nice vid
Did y'all get to see the oldest liquor store ? Been selling since 1686 back when they were building Charlestown. The roads are uneven like that because downtown was mostly made with landfill:) OG settlement is across the Ashley River and is now a park 'Charlestown Landing' maybe next visit!😊
Long time local here, and I'm begging you to skip Hyman's. It's' average at best. There are so many better seafood restaurants, some within a few blocks of Hyman's. Other than that, pretty good video
Come in the summer when the humidity makes it *feel like* temps over 103+, hard to breathe, not to mention the mosquitoes eating you up and you’ll get a reality check. Especially downtown. Finding a bathroom or parking space is almost nil there. Even the beaches that you can’t see from the road because the rich own all the oceanfront property are unbearable with little to no parking and hot sand burning your feet as you trudge out there with all your paraphernalia to get to the water. Live here and that is reality. We gave up going downtown a decade ago due to lack of parking, traffic and narrow one way roads.
You have your story wrong about Fort Moultrie being the first to fire on Fort Sumter to start the Civil War. The first shot was actuall fired from James Island's, Fort Johnson. There is a historical Plaque at Fort Johnson explaining it as "The shot heard around the world." Fort Moultrie however, was in the Movie "Glory", about the 54th Massachusets Union Regiment, that tried to stop Moultrie from firing on Fort Sumter AFTER Fort Johnson started their attack. If you ever return, You should do a video about Charles Town Landing, in West Ashley, which was the ORIGINAL settlement of what would become Charleston, South Carolina.
WOW! That's super specific! I wouldn't have guessed. 😂 It sounds kind of like a mix of Deep Southern and north Floridian. But I was even thinking that you might be immigrants from Europe who tried to Americanize your native accent 😂
It's because of the renovations that started at 99-101 East Bay street in the 1920s and 30s. Charleston was badly economically depressed and our historic architecture was falling apart. Charleston's only female realtor at the time, Sue Pringle French, had the foresight to rescue the dilapidated historic buildings from demolition which was slated to happen in 1920. She restored the Georgian architectural facades and painted them bright pastel colors in honor of our trade relationship with the Carribean. Other owners of adjacent buildings on East Bay soon followed suit, hence the name Rainbow Row. This renovation was the spark that rejuvenated Charleston and proved the concept of the city as something worth preserving. Today we're known as the best-preserved city in America. Yes, we have a lot of pastel buildings now, but it started at Rainbow Row.
If your from anywhere up north skip this area. Baltimore looks nicer. It’s a tourist trap. The entire outskirts of charelston are trailer parks. Beach is 45 minutes away and they charge you $40 to park. Go to nashville, Austin, Santa fe, savannah even pheonix has more of a country vibe. All the store’s found on kings street can be found at your local mall for free. Save your money and time. The market is the only cool spot here.
They don't call it "North Charleston Trailer Trash" for nothing. At one time South Carolina had more trailers per capita than any other state. The beach communities make it as difficult for visitors to visit the beaches as possible. Lived on Trade Street for 12 years. At least they closed the smelly paper plant from what I hear.
@@ryanwalters6184 Like all the lovely starter homes from the early 1980's off of Ashley Phosphate Road? The area around Dorchester Road @ Remount Roads was always so lovely as well as that "little" area of loverly trailer parks between Rivers Avenue and the AFB. Full disclosure, was stationed at JT Base Charleston for 12 long years . The moment I retired, I high tailed it to Las Vegas. Everything is legal here and few Bible Thumpers, Linsey (I have a few stories to tell about him) Graham. One presumes that Charlie Hall, the TEE VEE weatherman is giving the weather report from Heaven?
Like your video very much it’s wonderful things to see every where better than any other video that I been watching in the past the ways you take a video is very professional during the time I am watching it didn’t make me boring because it didn’t look like home video, it look like a movie started at holiwoods thank you for sharing.

FYI live oaks trees aren’t just on the east coast. They go from Central Texas to the east coast Carolina’s. We are famous for our in New Orleans
Appreciate that!
Yep. We got live oaks in and around San Antonio where South meets West

Love the information., However, Live Oaks are alive in well in Texas, which isn't on the East Coast.
Long time local here, and I'm begging you to skip Hyman's. It's' average at best. There are so many better seafood restaurants, some within a few blocks of Hyman's.

Hyman's isn't worth mentioning. Tourist trap.

Was it easy to park your car while visiting these neighborhoods?
It was!

ima watching this video because im running out of ideas and hope to uncover some new stuff because i live here
I am resolved to visit 😅
Oriented
The South fired at Ft Sumter from the Battery on the peninsula.
Wrong, from James Island
Does anyone know where they're from? Their accent is unlike any American accent I've heard before.
North Georgia lol
WOW! That's super specific! I wouldn't have guessed. 😂 It sounds kind of like a mix of Deep Southern and north Floridian. But I was even thinking that you might be immigrants from Europe who tried to Americanize your native accent 😂
@@briantravelman 🤣🤣
I'm from beautiful Reykjavik wondering if South Carolina or Florida is Paradise on earth living, while Reykjavik is pretty amazing.
Florida is hell, Charleston is lovely. I'd move to Reykjavik if I could.
@powermenow
Is here in Charleston SC
Come by the Channel and say hi!
I got joke we in this USA think were they legal to smoke weed at in the global
Idk why they call it rainbow row when most the houses in Charleston are different colors anyways so most of the area is colorful

@@kennixox262 and we miss those trailer parks. Sad they removed them for more cookie cutter homes.

@@ryanwalters6184 you’re not getting off that easy lol. Can’t wait to finally get a chance to get out there.
Hyman's is massively overrated.
We loved it
@@buildthedream77I’m glad you did but there is better
@@diego_villena any recommendations?
Like your video very much it’s wonderful things to see every where better than any other video that I been watching in the past the ways you take a video is very professional during the time I am watching it didn’t make me boring because it didn’t look like home video, it look like a movie started at holiwoods thank you for sharing.

Late March
