Hi,

Is the common abbreviation for Charleston "chas"? Any other common nicknames or abbreviations? Sort of like Charlotte is "Queen City", Indianapolis is "Indy", etc..

Thanks in advance.

Brian

Chucktown...absolutely my least favorite nickname. I abhor it.

I tend to abbreviate Charleston with CHS...the airport code.

I don't like "Chuck town" either, but the one I really, really hate is... get ready for it...

South "Calcalacky". UGH.

I usually abbreviate it as CHS if I have to .
