As you explore the Charleston of this moment, you may be seeing it at its peak. In all its long history, it has probably never looked better. Even after its long saga of catastrophe, Charleston has never been safer, cleaner, more accommodating to travelers and rewarding to all its citizens. There have been times of greater wealth, power and prestige, but those were times for the enjoyment of the few. Never has the city offered so much to so many. In the years ahead, Charleston will either become that rare, cherished place that maintains its integrity and sense of place or it will succumb to the pressures of mass tourism and all its horrors.
