What is North Charleston?
North Central, Downtown Charleston is a neighborhood of artist, writers, and musicians adjacent to the equally hip neighborhoods of Wagener Terrace and Hampton Park. Creatives and trendsetters fill the fashionable cafe’s and pubs within the environs of Upper King, Morrison Drive, and Rutledge Ave, while an eclectic dining scene features everything from speakeasy styled restaurants, breweries and dive bars to artisan coffee houses and gastropubs. Art supply stores and galleries mix with shops selling authentic french pastries in sidewalk al fresco settings. The landscape is defined by early 20th century bungalows and vernacular architecture. Here too is the site of the famed Palace Auditorium where Elvis Presley and The Allman Brothers Band once performed. This area first settled by French Huguenots who escaped religious persecution is the terminus of the future "Low Line" greenway. The familial and ethnic diversity of this section makes it a desirable home for all walks of life. Forever singles, young marrieds, progressive middle agers and retired long time residents share this inclusive enclave. Also, Bill Murray owns several bars in the area...which is nice.
Girl: So Saturday is my bachelorette party, should we come to North Central, Downtown Charleston after the ceremony at my Mega Church?
Guy: Heres what you do....first keep your sorostitutes away from Upper King, then you and your husband settle down on Daniel Island (or Mt. Pleasant)......byeeeeeeeee.

Girl: What is North Central, Charleston neighborhood like?
North Central Guy: Think Daniel Island....then think the opposite.
What does "North Charleston" mean?
A nice place to live post WW2, although spiraled as our Navy Shipyard closed down in 1996. A very up and coming area, and home to the best neighborhood in South Carolina; Park Circle.
North Charleston be Crawlin', Joe.
North Charleston - what does it mean?
Where all the dregs of Charleston get shoved up off the peninsula into. A haven for the lower-lower-middle class and lower class, complete with all the strip-mall trappings of Suburban Hell and the redneck charm of Small-Town America.
Disproportionate number of vagabonds, drifters, and armed criminals, with the balance of the population Walmart-People.
Hilariously, highfalutin Charlestonians must venture into sleazy North Charleston for their bigbox retail procurement. Surely they feel unclean afterwards.
