A local's eye view

How many cobblestone streets are there in Charleston?

asks Cindy R. from Denver, Colorado…

But the reality is that there are eight cobblestone streets still in use in Charleston. You can find them all around the old wharf area on the Cooper River side of the peninsula, as the cobbles had all been used as ballast for the empty sailing ships coming to Charleston to pick up their goods.
