First Strolling in DownTown Charleston

This is another reason why they call Charleston "The Holy City".
There are beautiful old churches everywhere.







One of the so many characteristic buildings in Charleston.






The Charleston Market Hall
and Sheds mark the location of the old Market, now a National Historic Landmark. The land was donated by the Pinckney family in 1788, to be used as a market. The first market burned in 1838; the present structure dates to 1841. Fresh meat and produce were sold here. Today, Market has all manner of goods. This is an excellent place to browse, even if you have no intention of buying anything. On the second floor is a small local museum, courtesy of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
