James Island resident Archie Burkel loves Charleston so much that she had a hard time writing it all down. Here’s how she explains her love affair with the Holy City:
“What do I love about Charleston? Let me count the ways. But if I did, it would take 100 things, not 100 words. So I will pull out of my hat what I believe puts our Holy City in a class by itself: You find yourself talking to total strangers.
“It does not matter the part of town, the way the person looks, or the time of day. The ‘stranger danger’ many brought with (when we got here as fast as we could) disappears. In its place, we found a place that brings out the best in us.
“We become who we always wanted to be. Hats off to Charleston!”
Tell us what you love. Send a short comment – 50 words to 100 words – that describes something you really enjoy about the Lowcountry. It can be big or small. It can be a place, a thing or something you see. It might the bakery where you get a morning croissant or a business or government entity doing a good job. We’ll highlight your entry in a coming issue of Charleston Currents. We look forward to hearing from you.
We Can Do Better, South Carolina!
