Old Charleston, South Carolina 1930s Historical Tour Plantations to Waterfront

[@BREEZEONE1]

WOW, This footage is amazing! Here we are almost 90 years later, and it doesn't look much different.

[@77jonsan]

Still and beautiful and elegant city. Thanks!

[@pamelaevans6485]

Lovely old film. Thank you.

[@russasmus5774]

The charm of Charleston gets better with age.

[@zfr33ze87]

Until 2020s then it got worse

[@CathyCorriher-jb1ot]

Love Charleston.....l really enjoyed this footage.

[@pattycoe7435]

Spent my high school years in Charleston and what drew me more was all the Revolutionary history. The South is full of Civil War sites, but very rare are the sites of our beginning of a national.

[@AshleyMartin-f3x]

@@pattycoe7435 I would love to check out the history

[@jcdawg8363]

Lots of places shown look almost exactly the same today. One major thing has changed in Charleston though. Today; having money, and a lot of it, is absolutely required if you want to live in downtown Charleston.

[@stevekelley7738]

Charleston is one of the most beautiful, fun, and historic cities in the world. It is my favorite place to vacation........ simply awesome !

I lov my hometown. I grew up inthe old black community on south Carolina. Liberty hill

Interesting “Strange Fruit “, comes to mind watching the video.

[@HAL-dm1eh]

13% committing 70% of the crime, not to mention all the brutal, deadly hate crimes they get away with, makes me think it wasn't as bad a system as some may make it out to be.

[@JackDavenport-e3j]

Ive been to spring island, stood at the base of st assisi . I collected many colonial, Spanish, and stone tools and artifacts of all manner, even a 90 percent intact indian pottery bowl. It lies in the cheechessie river. Once owned by the Jerome family of N.Y. sadly, a large portion has been destroyed by residential development. Also found an intact olive jar nearby. Truly mystical.

Coast of living and gas prices was reasonable back those days.

[@tecraman8100]

It wasn't, never heard of inflation? For example minimum wage back in 1930 was like 25¢ an hour which is the equivalent of almost 5$ here in 2024 so it wasn't much

[@jimgordon6629]

Strange that they don’t mention Fort Sumter

[@evansjohnc]

This video is closer in time to the Civil War than we are to this video.

[@09rja]

Look at the age of some of those trees. Amazed they made it that long.....doubt they made it through Hurricane Hugo.

[@AshleyMartin-f3x]

We are Canadians and my mother wants to move to south Carolina she know nothing about the state. Anyone have info?

[@dalesnyder4831]

I moved here in 1985 from New York City and knew nothing about the place except that the architecture and scenery was amazing. I have been very happy living here despite being a damn yankee! Many of the buildings in the video are still there and look much the same, although, as one comment mentioned, it takes a lot of money to live in Charleston now, especially downtown.

[@JackDavenport-e3j]

An impact fee should be mandatory for any non- native.

[@bunnymaurer5164]

These old black iron gates and fences were made be an black man who names I can't remember.

[@midgard8550]

Phillip Simmons. He is known worldwide for his ironwork. A legend

[@JackDavenport-e3j]

Phillip Simmons, yeah ya right.

[@JackDavenport-e3j]

Used to drag Islanders above the Edisto ledge. Saw the sub come up in a sling. Been on Chute's Folly etc..

[@MsTERRY4658]

Research, visit before moving to SC. Property taxes on car every year.

[@autoguy57]

A great time when the Confederate Flag was entwined with the history of Charleston, and Northerners were still “up North.”

[@keith3970]

Now they're all in Sun City.

[@autoguy57]

@@keith3970 Let them go!

[@Bigtim2you]

Shows an ignorance for the pain and sacrifice of the slaves. Pathetic avoidance of the truth.

[@Danvers97]

Then don't watch and don't move down here

[@JackDavenport-e3j]

Dont do it, too many outsiders now, just joking.
