Charleston, SC Steeples & Standards
Charleston’s real estate market has skyrocketed over the past decade. Several contributing factors have created this fast-paced and exponentially growing pattern for our beautiful city. Simply put, Charleston, SC is beautiful and offers opportunities that suit just about any lifestyle. The adventurous, outdoorsy type can enjoy fishing, boating, camping and hunting. While foodies can head downtown to explore the plethora of delicious creations that fall anywhere between southern-traditional fare and eclectic cultural montages of goodness. My mouth is watering just thinking about our options! If the arts interest you, Charleston once again offers a feast for your visual senses with its great range anywhere from peeking at preserved artifacts, paintings of gorgeous landscapes, to modern sculptures and trendy pops of color in contemporary interpretations. And, if you are a History seeker, you will never be bored here with our profoundly rich background involving generations of triumphs and tragedies. From fires and floods to battlegrounds and new beginnings, Charleston has always had a graceful way of rebuilding and recovering.
Over the past couple of years, people headed to Charleston to slow down, relax more and enjoy the warm sunny weather. They wanted to tap into the opportunities only our town has to offer! I certainly understand why. Now, the question around town has been how do we continue the age-old tradition of blending what Charleston is with what Charleston will become…and at the same time, do it with grace? While there is definitely not one good answer to this question, considering what has and has not worked in the past is a good place to begin!
Why has the town always had such tolerance for the changing of the tides? It is popular opinion that it has much to do with the strength and sturdy foundation it was built upon. Shall we look to the 400 + steeples that reach for the heavens? I’d say that’s a great starting point! These such landmarks, poking up all over the townscape, have served longer than any delicious restaurant or local politician. Ranging in various religious roots, groups of caring people who come together with the belief in something more than life, have largely been a standard for most Charlestonians. The acceptance and tolerance of different viewpoints hasn’t always been an easy mark to meet, but seems to have been at the center of some of Charleston’s most successful progressions over time. Aside from the beautiful architectural accents the church steeples provide, have you ever thought about some of the other practical purposes for these landmarks?
