I was born and raised here and have lived here most of my adult life. Charleston is certainly not what it was 20-30 yrs ago. Only thing that keeps me here is my business and my wife has about another 7 yrs to retire from MUSC. The funny thing is most of the yankees that have moved here that I meet all agree where they were from was a shithole over run by Democrats, but yet when you really talk to them you can tell their position on politics hasn't changed.........I don't get it!
