Charleston will not reach (at least in our lifetimes) the prestige it once had in Colonial America. Things have come together and Charleston has become a premier city but not what it once was..
"Colonial America"! My wall calendar doesn't say January 1763, so never mind. Indoor plumbing is just one of many improvements. There are others.
I've been in countless SC cities.. Charleston is tops.
Not to me. Your opinion is just that. It's subjective. It should be by far the most populated area then. Like Atlanta is in Georgia. A metro where more than half of the state lives in. That's what I call tops in a state. You probably haven't set foot up here. If so it's probably been years ago.

SC doesn’t have a dominate city like Illinois or Georgia and that’s a great thing. At the end of the day. The big three are the same size and anything can change with population patterns in the next decade. You never know.

I agree. They are different, but somewhat really similar in size. I can enjoy myself in any of them I just choose to live here where I am.
Myrtle Beach is also getting up there relatively speaking, if we take the stats at face value Myrtle Beachs urban area has about 3/4 of the population of Greenville's. Though Mauldin + Spartanburg together almost double the Greenville Urban areas total population to a bit over 700k

I’d be interested in seeing what I said if anyone can find posts in which I pigeonholed any of SC’s cities. In this thread I only said Charleston now is the largest urban area and that “largest city” and “largest urban area” are examples of phrases that business CEO’s say when telling why they choose a place.
I didn’t realize that official estimates had already revealed half a decade ago that Charleston’s urban area was SC’s largest. I remember a business exec calling Columbia “the premier urban area in the state” when Columbia was picked for something.
Yesterday an apartment company mogul reasoned why he chose Charleston for the company’s first-in-South Carolina development. Urban area and the city size weren’t mentioned. This morning’s news quoted Resy’s CEO’s reasoning for making Charleston the company’s first location outside NYC for an office. Resy is a restaurant-hotel-hospitality reservations firm. They are occupying a new office building on the peninsula. He didn’t mention the city or urban area’s size. The New Yorker only raved about Charleston’s food without mentioning cheesecake. But we sure have plenty of that here for those who find it that important.
Charleston will not be pigeonholed. Attempting to pigeonhole it shows a lack of awareness or disingenuousness. Listen to old man Charlestondata. BTW, I told a restaurant manager who’s a native Charlestonian that I’ve lived here nearly eight years. He said oh, so you’re a local. Then I showed him my Instagram page so he could see my Charleston photographs. Of all the photos he could have said were beautiful (They are.), he chose one of a dirt road in southern Orangeburg County in the farm community where my mom and her ancestors for generations were born and raised.
The terrain is as flat there as it is here. That’s why my late grandfather used to ask me how I liked the Lowcountry when I would visit. I always loved it. All I did was come to the city. Columbia was a 31-year detour.
