What best describes peninsular Charleston? How about a genteel, laid-back attitude framed by 18th-century masonry built with marble, brick, and tile. Strict preservation laws ensure that the urban tributes to the past are maintained to high standards. A nationally-recognized liberal arts university, with graduates in such disciplines as international business, computer science, and early childhood education, points city dwellers to the future.
