The Charleston area is full of one-of-kind experiences, but you don’t have to take our word for it! Check back every day this week to learn what makes Charleston special to some of our friends in the community:
“Charleston is like the perfect recipe for life: a blend of great food, culture, art and history all held together by absolutely wonderful people!”
– Mickey Bakst, General Manager at Charleston Grill
“Charleston, like no other place on the planet, surrounds you with charm, beauty, hospitality, sophistication, and historical significance.”
– John LaVerne, Owner of Bulldog Tours
“Charleston is a vibrant, friendly and historic port city that instills pride in its residents and inspires its visitors. Everywhere you turn there is magnificent architecture, fabulous cuisine and stunning landscapes that tell a story rich in culture.”
– Kitty Robinson, Executive Director of Historic Charleston Foundation
“Charleston is not a destination it is an experience, the cultural opportunities of the Holy City are surrounded by world class natural history outings, from the Francis Marion National Forrest and Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge to the north and the ACE Basin located to the south.”
– Chris Crolley, Owner of Coastal Expeditions
“Where else in America can you have your cake and can eat it too, living in a 17th century traditional and elegant, yet in many ways archaic, pocket of advanced civilization with 21st century forward-thinking, multigenerational stewards of one place, who posses exceptional manners and examine change with the tenacity to lead the movement and the diligence to fight progression, all the while being well dressed, well spoken, serving delicious fare caught, grown or shot locally, and a well-made cocktail with a pressed linen napkin?”
– Mitchell Crosby, Owner of JMC Charleston
“Charleston is my inner peace, my neighborhood, my city.”
– Kris Holmes, Owner of Dixie Supply Bakery and Café

I’ve only been to Charleston twice to visit my dear friends Mitchell Crosby, Randall
Felkel, their dogs and Agnes’ six cats down the street. Charleston is the embodiment of beauty, peace, culture, kind people, the charm of the past and a
foward thinking and modern ethic. And let’s not forget the fabulous shopping!
When the time comes, it’s on my short list as a place to spend my “golden years”.
