Lower King Street – Charleston’s Miracle (eight-tenths of a) Mile!
March 01, 2010
Previously on Battlestar Galactica, we discussed King Street above Calhoun - downtown Charleston’s hip, edgy nightspot for hip, edgy night owls. But King Street’s awesomeness is just beginning! The 4224 feet (1.3 km for our Canadian reader) between Calhoun and Broad Streets is densely packed with men’s and women’s fashions and accessories…excuse me - women’s accessories and men’s furnishings… jewelry, dining, nightspots and, of course, antiques.
Lower King Street, as we also previously reported, is ground zero for the Charleston Antique scene. The “King St Antique District,” which includes parts of Queen, Hasell, Tradd, Market, Broad and other addresses, is the location of more than 30 antique-related businesses. And those antiques are getting older by the minute, so you better get down there before they appreciate out of your price range!
And now, a Google-eyed view of Charleston’s Lower King Street…
