I live in Mount Pleasant, which is right over the Ravenel bridge from Downtown. It is pricey but worth it, the schools are fantastic and we are 15 minutes from DT and 10 minutes to both IOP and Sullivans.

Real Estate is getting crazy, I would say I live in what would be considered "kind of far out" Mount Pleasant and a house in our neighborhood that was built in the mid 90's and is only 1500 sq ft just went North of 300K.

Spend quite a bit of time in Mt. Pleasant when visiting. My wife's cousin and family live there, and her uncle is moving off the IOP to there. City is huge. I can't exactly say where they are, but it is a busy two lane road off 17 going N. I have spent most of my time at the shopping center going to the IOP and at the shopping center on Long Point where Dog and Duck is.

We mainly stay close to IOP for dinners as we just had our 3rd child. I have never been to Kiawah, but I told my wife that one day I was saving my money to go play.

Was stationed in Atsugi for 2 years. On a clear morning had a view of Fuji from my barracks window. Never climbed Fuji and the saying goes "if you come to Japan without climbing Fuji, you will be back".

My wife and son have been begging to go to Japan. Hopefully the saying is correct.

I climbed Mt. Fuji while I was there. I was at Yokota. Saw the mountain every day for 3 years. A beautiful sight.

The wife and I are going to a wedding in Charleston this summer. We're going down a few days before to turn it into a vacation as well. I would definitely be up for recommendations on restaurants, things to do/see, etc. Thanks in advance.

Eric would be better for recommendations as he lives there, but I will tell you my thoughts as a frequent visitor. If you are into history or at least interested, I would take a downtown carriage ride tour. I believe they have 3 routes, but I found it to be informative and interesting, and I had been to town several times beforehand. Fort Sumter is not anything really special, but I would consider it a must if you like history. Also, just park and walk down to the battery and Rainbow Row- you can catch lunch around that area. You can also walk around the downtown market area that has a lot of historical significance. Patriot's Point is another area to visit if you are interested in naval history- it has the USS Yorktown, an aircraft carrier and other vessels.

I am not the best to recommend restaurants downtown as we don't do it much with kids. If you want to take a little drive, go to Sullivan's Island at lunch and enjoy a restaurant on their strip. It is a quaint area, and one popular place is Poe's Tavern, known for their hamburgers. Just don't go for dinner or even on the weekend if you can avoid it. It gets crowded.

Finally, if you play golf and can get away, there are very decent courses for great rates. Patriot's Point Golf Course is reasonable with nice views. I played Wild Dunes a long time ago; it is pricey, but their links course has a beautiful finish.

Genius marketing and a very veiled hint of what the new Nike unis will look like:
