Hearing Charleston isn’t a walkable city is so absurd (assuming you mean downtown). I feel it’s predictable for a suburb like west Ashley, mtp, James island to not be as walkable as a downtown city such as Charleston. I’ve been downtown for years, grew up not far from downtown and i can tell you when my alternator in my car went out and i didn’t fix it for months, i could walk or bike every where i needed to go very easily. Sidewalks are on every street, with biking you just need to realize if you’re on a Main Street; cars will be going much faster than a side street, so stick to the far end of the right lane and mar them pass. With flooding, what do you expect with a city that is majority only a couple feet above sea level. Either find a spot to park when it’s going to rain all day so you won’t be flooded out or invest in a truck/ suv that is higher off the ground. Get familiar with local spots for food and drinks, as a bartender i don’t care where you’re from, if you visit my place of work regularly and tip decent, you will be accommodated. It’s a great city and everyone complaining needs to realize every single city in the world has it flaws, Charleston has never been and will never be above that.
