If you live in Charleston, or know of it ( who doesn't?!), then you've probably see the latest article to blow up the internet...and no, I'm not talking about the one stating that we're the 2nd best city in the world, I'm talking about the article written by a 34 year old brunette woman who wrote an article on how terrible Charleston is.
After living in Charleston for almost two years, I was actually a little bit offended/impressed by the audacity this author had in her article, so here I am to correct a few points.
The People
It sounds to me like you're judging a book by its cover. Yes seven out of ten of my closest friends are blondes, yes I'm one of the few brunettes, but LAWD YALL. If we all look the same, we're probably all wearing the same t-shirt as well and we're probably all in the same sorority. However, you're right about one thing, we are stunning, thank you. But at the same time, "We are different colors. We come from every race and creed. We believe in different Gods. We eat different foods. Some of us are tattooed. We wear unique clothes, come from various places, and have all sorts of hairstyles. WE ARE DIFFERENT. To me, this is what makes us beautiful." Maybe you're not looking hard enough. Also, aren't all hipsters a little boring??
The (Lack Of) Things To Do
I'm simply sorry you couldn't keep up with the Charleston lifestyle. The only time there isn't actually anything to do is when it rains, which everyone appreciates because it allows someone to actually take a break. Sounds to me like you also have a lack of appreciation for things including taking a boat to a fort, walking the bridge, or visit a museum. I'm sure the Coca Cola factory in ATL is more fulfilling anyway.
The Food
Let me be that "one more person" to tell you the food here is awesome. The food is "B+ in a C town" Hahahahaha I don't even know where to begin with this one. Surprisingly enough, just one walk down King Street could find you an Asian restaurant, a healthy option, a good pizza place, all for reasonable prices. But walking down King Street would be considered something to do and we lack that.
The Dating
You can't complain about the dating and state that you're not ready to settle down, unless you're not ready to settle down because you can't find anyone to date. It makes sense though, it's hard to date someone in Charleston while hating Charleston. I know I don't find that very attractive.
The End
"The thing that Charleston has taught me most is the value of home." I agree with you on this, I'm just sorry you consider your home to be Atlanta.
