We know the rivalry — the one between Savannah and Charleston and how Charleston is more often than we’d like, considered as our fair Hostess City’s classier, older sister.
Granted, Charleston began as English settlement and port 63 years before Oglethorpe and company founded Savannah in 1733. And yes, the Holy City’s historic downtown is half a size bigger than Savannah’s and surrounded by a wide marine harbor instead of turbid rolling river.
