Any journey into the soul of the Old South must begin in Charleston. One stroll down Broad Street at dusk, the sea breeze rustling gently through the palm trees, you will swear you hear the clop, clop, clop of horse hoofs on the cobblestones amidst layers of voices rising up from the centuries. Even if you are a first-time visitor to the historic city, Charleston's nagging familiarity, that sense of déjà vu, hangs over you. You think the familiarity may come from the history books depicting its heyday in the unfolding of American history. Or, perhaps from Dubose Heyward's lyrical descriptions of Catfish Row in his best selling novel, Porgy. Or, maybe it is the array of starring roles the city has played in movies such as Gone with the Wind, North and South and The Patriot, to name just a few.
