Glimpses of Charleston

A local's eye view

When we visited Charleston we saw pineapples all over the place. What’s the deal with the fruit?

asks Linda H. from Tucson, Az.

With Charleston being one of the welcoming and mannerly cities in the world, Linda, it’s not surprising that you can find pineapples all around the city — from the Pineapple Fountain (in this photo) to the Pineapple Gates.
