French Quarter, Charleston, SC (Downtown Series Episode 2)

[@Dedhedted71]

The whole notion of Charleston having a "French Quarter" is a bit disingenuous. The town was founded by the English and was never a French settlement like New Orleans. When people think of the "French Quarter" they picture New Orleans. Yes Charleston had many French people in the early days who built one of the most beautiful churches in the city. But there is no real French Quarter like New Orleans with overhanging porches and narrow streets. I think that the notion of Charleston having a "French Quarter" is more of a way to attract tourists. But Charleston does not need to do that. It totally stands on its own as one of the most amazing cities in the country. I absolutely love Charleston.

I am a French pensionnist. I just finished to read a book taking place in Charleston ; as I often do, I went on youtube to see what it looks in reality. I like your video because there is a lot of informations. I surely would not mind hanging around a few days in this French Quarter. Merci beaucoup.

Can't wait till I can get back to my hometown!! Been stuck in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for nearly 3 yrs. 5 different people have been shot to death on my street this yr. It's a warzone here now.

[@CharlestonHome]

Thanks for the message Marie. Hope things get better in BR. Hope you had a nice weekend. Bob

[@Dreestwd]

Very cool video. That dude who runs the art store at the end seems like a relatable guy. Not a weirdo but still understands normal people yet artists at the same time if that makes sense.

[@CharlestonHome]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Rob Lange is a great guy. Easy to talk too for sure. Happy Holidays to you. Bob

Very nice walking tour of one of Charleston's best neighborhoods! Shows off great churches (I have attended a service at the Circular Congregational Church, as well as visited its graveyard and the one outside St Philip's Church). I love this area, and I really enjoyed the brief interview with Robert Lange, and his attitude toward art. I will be sure to visit his gallery on an upcoming visit - along with when I move to SC - either Charleston or Beaufort. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Carey has a master in historical preservation and loves talking about CHS history. Happy Monday to you :) Bob

[@galactic904]

Thank you very much for this. At 2:40 75% of landfills, wow. Is there any chance that some of the landfills have covered up some interesting but controversial archives and artifacts related to the French colonialists?

[@CharlestonHome]

Thanks for watching Joe. Great question. Probably a lot of history still buried.

[@twelveshepherd9331]

The guy has an incredible voice. Cool cobblestones. Awesome history.

[@CharlestonHome]

Thanks Joey. We appreciate you watching the video. Charleston is one of my favorite cities in the world. Hope you are having a good weekend.

[@Dulcimertunes]

If the church was built in 1844, where was the congregation in 1828 when they switched from English to French?

[@CharlestonHome]

High Maureen -- my partner Carey Nikonchuk said you would find answers here www.huguenot-church.org/history.html Cheers! Bob

[@BHPaintingRefinishing]

When you described the old French Huguenot tavern, I thought you almost said it was the Poinsett Tavern, was it? (Joel Poinsett)

[@bobbrennaman5107]

Yes from what I have read you are correct. Have a nice weekend. Thanks for watching video

[@bobbrennaman5107]

You guys just walked passed the pirate house where i live and didnt say nothing about it.

[@livecharlestonsc]

Cool which house was the pirate house? I love a good story :)

[@jtoland2333]

Me too!! Which is it?

[@alicezecevich2654]

It was originally use to be called the pink house, the house was a tavern down stairs & upstairs was a house of ill repute! Then it became a art shop threw out the years & then the place got resold!

[@spensernichols7681]

You didnt show the William Rhett House!!😕

[@bobduvar]

As you can read on the title... We were in... the french quarter ! And William(Guillaume) Rhett was ? Anglo saxon ! That's why we didn't see his house....

[@bocachucka]

Does everyone in Charleston walk with their hands behind their backs?

[@CharlestonHome]

interesting question -- not sure -- I do so I stand up straight ; - )

[@bocachucka]

Hadn't thought of that. So many presenters on videos wave their hands constantly which can be annoying. What you guys did stood out. I live in Aiken and haven't been to Charleston in forty years! I think it's time to visit.

[@CharlestonHome]

@@bocachucka thanks for the feedback....definitely keeps my hands out of video when they are behind my back...if I can ever be of help just message me. Have a good rest of your day.

I may be moving to Charleston soon. How dog friendly is the city? Also is it friendly to professional photographers?

[@CharlestonHome]

Good Morning Ryan -- yes, Charleston is quiet dog friendly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opLNq4B-l9GXotU is a video I shot a few years back that discusses dogs, dog parks, beach, etc. If you want to schedule a call email me at [e-mail] or pop me a text. Bob

Bob Brennaman thank you for the prompt response. Do you also help people find rentals? If so, we may need your help. Thanks again
