Presidential Porches

After a meeting citizens of Charleston during the 2008 presidential election campaign at 21 King Street, the Patrick O’Donnell House, Barack Obama was so impressed that he directly referred to the house’s amazing piazzas in his election night acceptance speech:

Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and on the front porches of Charleston.

Pretty cool.
