South Carolina: The Palmetto State
As a native of South Carolina, one thing I take great pride in is how welcoming and friendly the locals are with visitors. We enjoy sitting outside on a gorgeous day, connecting with new friends over amazing cuisine, cool beverages and great music.
While I may be a bit biased, there’s definitely something very special about The Palmetto State.

Southern Hospitality
Location: Waterfront Park, Downtown Charleston, South Carolina
Orientation: Landscape
Waterfront Park is well-known to locals and tourists. The iconic pineapple fountain seen in the distance has a great story that dates back hundreds of years.
Sailors returning home from a voyage would spear a pineapple and place it outside their homes so people would know they had returned safely. It became an invitation for friends and neighbors to visit and exchange stories of their travels.
Pineapples have definitely been embraced by locals to symbolize southern hospitality and they can be found all over Charleston.
As for the park itself, it's a pretty phenomenal place to sit still and watch the world go by.
