Wow you Guys! I'm no videographer, but the production quality of your videos are off the charts! And the editing, tour guiding and narration. There isn't any downtime in your productions. You clearly have put a lot of thought, time, and planning into every shot, including lots of drone footage to provide the viewers with perspective and context. Thank you for the great content.
I'm originally from Charleston, and this may be the best Charleston video I have ever seen! Living in Atlanta now but going to see my family next week. I forgot just how beautiful the city is, and I plan to spend some time sightseeing again. Thank you!
Wow, that's the first time I ever watched this video! And I gotta say not only you two are wonderful, but educational also! Keep up the good work on UA-cam, you both are doing great!😁☺️😇 Even though I never visit South Carolina, but it's pretty amusing by the way.
Like your video very much it’s wonderful things to see every where better than any other video that I been watching in the past the ways you take a video is very professional during the time I am watching it didn’t make me boring because it didn’t look like home video, it look like a movie started at holiwoods thank you for sharing.
Sehr gutes Video mit sehr guten Informationen über Charleston 😀. Ich war 2002,2004,2006 und 2008 in dieser schönen Stadt. Liebe und schöne Grüße aus Ingolstadt /Deutschland 🍀❤️
Absolutely loved this. We live an hour South of Charleston but rarely get up there, unfortunately. The last time we were there, we had an amazing 40 mile walk around the battery (I might exaggerate a bit) and then an amazing lunch at Fleet. Charleston is amazing. Have you done a Savannah tour? I looked and didn't see it.
Wow! I played soccer tournaments annually here, I would love to go back and see all that you see in your video that was missed! Such outstanding editing, information, and dialogue!!
Thank you for the great video! It def makes me want to visit. I love the music choices in your video too. Are you guys from Fl too? I noticed the dolphins shirt lol. Tnx again! ❤
On the way to Fort Moultrie there was a sea food restaurant. It looked like an old run down two story house. I haven't been back in several years I wonder if it is still there. It had the best sea food!
I live in Charleston, please let me tell you how Ft. Moultrie, Ft. Sumter, and Ft. Johnson worked to protect Charleston Harbor. You mentioned in your video that the guns at Ft. Moultrie were pointed at Ft. Sumter, that is exactly right. Ft Moultrie, located (On Land) in Mt. Pleasant SC, Ft. Sumter, (Located on an island in the middle of Charleston Harbor) and Ft. Johnson, (Located on land on Jame's Island SC) worked as a team to keep any opposing Navy out of Charleston Harbor. Any opposing ship entering the Harbor from the west would be caught in the cross fire between Ft. Sumter and Ft. Johnson. Any opposing ship entering on the eastern side would be caught in the crossfire between Ft. Sumter and Ft. Moultrie. No opposing Navy could withstand that kind of cannon fire. Another interesting fact about Charleston is that the first submarine to successfully sink a warship did so in Charleston Harbor in 1864. That submarine was the H.L Hunley. About 10 or 12 years ago, the Hunley was raised, and placed in a museum at 1250 Supply St. North Charleston.
Did y'all get to see the oldest liquor store ? Been selling since 1686 back when they were building Charlestown. The roads are uneven like that because downtown was mostly made with landfill:) OG settlement is across the Ashley River and is now a park 'Charlestown Landing' maybe next visit!😊
I live her and born here. Truly is on beautiful city but everyone knows that. Love tourists but they come back to live here. Roads are having problems handling traffic. Nice vid
I am a native Charlestonian! I love my city.. thanks for this video. As to the previous comment.. not everyone who does not live in the city proper lives in a trailer.. plus what is wrong with a trailer? Prejudice alive and well!,
You have your story wrong about Fort Moultrie being the first to fire on Fort Sumter to start the Civil War. The first shot was actuall fired from James Island's, Fort Johnson. There is a historical Plaque at Fort Johnson explaining it as "The shot heard around the world." Fort Moultrie however, was in the Movie "Glory", about the 54th Massachusets Union Regiment, that tried to stop Moultrie from firing on Fort Sumter AFTER Fort Johnson started their attack. If you ever return, You should do a video about Charles Town Landing, in West Ashley, which was the ORIGINAL settlement of what would become Charleston, South Carolina.
WOW! That's super specific! I wouldn't have guessed. 😂 It sounds kind of like a mix of Deep Southern and north Floridian. But I was even thinking that you might be immigrants from Europe who tried to Americanize your native accent 😂
Long time local here, and I'm begging you to skip Hyman's. It's' average at best. There are so many better seafood restaurants, some within a few blocks of Hyman's. Other than that, pretty good video
Come in the summer when the humidity makes it *feel like* temps over 103+, hard to breathe, not to mention the mosquitoes eating you up and you’ll get a reality check. Especially downtown. Finding a bathroom or parking space is almost nil there. Even the beaches that you can’t see from the road because the rich own all the oceanfront property are unbearable with little to no parking and hot sand burning your feet as you trudge out there with all your paraphernalia to get to the water. Live here and that is reality. We gave up going downtown a decade ago due to lack of parking, traffic and narrow one way roads.
It's because of the renovations that started at 99-101 East Bay street in the 1920s and 30s. Charleston was badly economically depressed and our historic architecture was falling apart. Charleston's only female realtor at the time, Sue Pringle French, had the foresight to rescue the dilapidated historic buildings from demolition which was slated to happen in 1920. She restored the Georgian architectural facades and painted them bright pastel colors in honor of our trade relationship with the Carribean. Other owners of adjacent buildings on East Bay soon followed suit, hence the name Rainbow Row. This renovation was the spark that rejuvenated Charleston and proved the concept of the city as something worth preserving. Today we're known as the best-preserved city in America. Yes, we have a lot of pastel buildings now, but it started at Rainbow Row.
If your from anywhere up north skip this area. Baltimore looks nicer. It’s a tourist trap. The entire outskirts of charelston are trailer parks. Beach is 45 minutes away and they charge you $40 to park. Go to nashville, Austin, Santa fe, savannah even pheonix has more of a country vibe. All the store’s found on kings street can be found at your local mall for free. Save your money and time. The market is the only cool spot here.
They don't call it "North Charleston Trailer Trash" for nothing. At one time South Carolina had more trailers per capita than any other state. The beach communities make it as difficult for visitors to visit the beaches as possible. Lived on Trade Street for 12 years. At least they closed the smelly paper plant from what I hear.
@@ryanwalters6184 Like all the lovely starter homes from the early 1980's off of Ashley Phosphate Road? The area around Dorchester Road @ Remount Roads was always so lovely as well as that "little" area of loverly trailer parks between Rivers Avenue and the AFB. Full disclosure, was stationed at JT Base Charleston for 12 long years . The moment I retired, I high tailed it to Las Vegas. Everything is legal here and few Bible Thumpers, Linsey (I have a few stories to tell about him) Graham. One presumes that Charlie Hall, the TEE VEE weatherman is giving the weather report from Heaven?
You came here for 15:42. #UFC
I hope one day Sean sees this lol

Perfect timing for the azalea flowers. Spring is definitely the perfect time to catch those beautiful things.

You 2 are an amazing team! Thank you for bringing Charleston to all of us!
Thank you so much Jim! 😊
Extremely professional video, and absolutely loved it❤️❤️
8/5/24 - Great job Guys ! Have been a Charlestonian for 83 Years! Really enjoyed this video . Come back soon!
You guys are adorable! Your zest for history is a breath of fresh air.
Your tour videos are top notch! Not boring at all! Thank you!

A video on savvanah is on the list!
Excellent video!
Very good video
FYI live oaks trees aren’t just on the east coast. They go from Central Texas to the east coast Carolina’s. We are famous for our in New Orleans
Appreciate that!
Yep. We got live oaks in and around San Antonio where South meets West
was thinking the same thing. I remember the massive live oak trees in the woods around Houston in the 90s
Excellent video
Wow! I played soccer tournaments annually here, I would love to go back and see all that you see in your video that was missed! Such outstanding editing, information, and dialogue!!
You too are good fun guides
Thankyou for the enjoyment ..
Thank you for the great video! It def makes me want to visit. I love the music choices in your video too. Are you guys from Fl too? I noticed the dolphins shirt lol. Tnx again! ❤
We live in Georgia, but heidi Is from Florida!
Where do you guys live in GA?
Awesome 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I live outside Charleston and if you want to visit try to time it for when the azaleas are blooming

Nice tour Build The Dream.
I know people say that Haymans restaurant is a tourist trap. But I love it ❤
Love the information., However, Live Oaks are alive in well in Texas, which isn't on the East Coast.
From Chicago thanks.
I live her and born here. Truly is on beautiful city but everyone knows that. Love tourists but they come back to live here. Roads are having problems handling traffic. Nice vid
My hometown
Two times to visit Charleston is during Christmas and SpolEto Festival.
Just a thought: don't you think time warped the cobblestone alley🤣?

Hi guys. What time of the year was this video recorded? I,m planing to visit in January. Can you avise me on climate.
It was late March, I remember roughly 60s

Sorry if I missed it, but what time of year was this? Looks like you guys were dressed for cold weather.
Late March
The cobblestones were created from ballast stones from ships.
fancy town indeed
Was it easy to park your car while visiting these neighborhoods?
It was!
lol my buddy owns the Thomas Heyward house.
ima watching this video because im running out of ideas and hope to uncover some new stuff because i live here
Does anyone know where they're from? Their accent is unlike any American accent I've heard before.
North Georgia lol

Come by the Channel and say hi!

Hyman's isn't worth mentioning. Tourist trap.

Good movie ,but the Cut to Speed
Oriented
I got joke we in this USA think were they legal to smoke weed at in the global
The historic City of Paraty in Brazil is 1,000 times nicer, Why ??
The South fired at Ft Sumter from the Battery on the peninsula.
Wrong, from James Island
I'm from beautiful Reykjavik wondering if South Carolina or Florida is Paradise on earth living, while Reykjavik is pretty amazing.
Florida is hell, Charleston is lovely. I'd move to Reykjavik if I could.
Idk why they call it rainbow row when most the houses in Charleston are different colors anyways so most of the area is colorful
