charleston through a lens of half-dead batteries and questionable tacos

hey everyone, i’m back from charleston and let me tell you, it’s a city that sweats history like it’s trying to impress you. i just checked the weather and it’s doing that thing where it’s 16 degrees but feels like you’re being lightly nudged by a ghost - hope you like that kind of thing. if you get bored, myrtle beach is just a short drive away for saltwater and regret.

some drunk guy at a taco stand told me the best shrimp and grits are served at 3am because ‘that’s when the moon’s in the right position’


spent most of my time lugging my camera around like it’s a security blanket. the humidity’s acting like a clingy ex, sticking to my lenses and my sanity. found this killer spot near the market - locals call it ‘the graffiti graveyard’ - but yelp says it’s ‘questionable territory’ so maybe bring pepper spray? charleston street art

i heard the ghost tour guides make up 70% of their stories, but the confederate prison is legit creepy even without embellishment


the pressure’s so high you’d swear the city’s trying to pop like a balloon. caught this golden retriever pup mid-bark at a fence - pure serendipity. charleston pet parks

someone warned me the battery park market’s overrated, but that’s where i found this *taco truck that changed my life. or maybe it was the cheap tequila talking. charleston market reviews

a bartender swore that the graveyards are worth visiting at dawn because ‘the light hits the angels just right’

charleston’s got this humidity that clings to you like bad memories. the temperatures bouncing between 14 and 17 means your wardrobe’s a permanent identity crisis. i swear the ocean breeze* is the only honest thing in this town. charleston weather
