Economy on the edge
October 18, 2008
With the economy on the edge of a potentially deep recession, and the Presidential election only 17 days away, I am guessing that the mood in Charleston, SC is not unlike that of most of the country. People feel change in the air. Whatever their political leanings, Charlestonians know that we as Americans are undergoing one of the great cyclical shifts that occur only a few times each century. However, as one of the United States most historically experienced cities, there is also a dignified calm that comes with the knowledge that through thick and thin, the city will stand and its people will prosper.Early upheaval in Charleston included attacks by the French and Spanish, slave revolts, great fires, economic depressions and devastating hurricanes. Charleston's fragile position in the coastal Lowcountry has left it with some wrinkles and lines that add to it's ever evolving charm.
