The LHSA shoot was there this week-end and it was wonderful. Charleston is my favorite city in the USA and one of my favorite cities in the world. Every time I visit there, I want to buy a house and move there. I still may do it some day. If you are moving from anywhere except the South, you will probably have a decrease in living costs. Restaurants are fantastic - lots of fresh seafood. The city is very diverse ethnically and is a college town with the College of Charleston - one of the state colleges of South Carolina - right in the middle of town. Charleston is a walking city. We have stayed in bed and breakfasts in the heart of Charleston and not even gotten in our car for a week. There is a lot of support for the arts. An annual arts festival - Spoleto - attracts people from all over the world. Have I sold you yet? Go for a visit and you won't regret it! Let me know if I can answer any questions or help in any way. I envy your possible move! Good luck - TIna ______________________________________________________________________ Tina Manley, ASMP <http://www.photogs.com/manley/index.html> <http://www.aperture-photo.com/site/reportage/manley/manleyframeset.html> <http://www.onlineartistleague.com/manleyt/portfoli.htm>
