My eldest is talking about going to College of Charleston when the time comes, so hope springs eternal. Hope you have a blast down there brother!
I'm not from the area, but having visited a few times, my advice would be to take some extra clothes because you may not want to leave. The time I spent in Charleston while on vacations was absolutely amazing. The culture and history of the city are mind-blowing. Undoubtedly some of the friendliest people I have ever met, which says a lot considering I've lived in 13 states courtesy of Uncle Sam. I wish you the best of luck with the job hunt and possible move.
History? Colonial Williamsburg is awesome and kept up REALLY well. Actors always in costume recreating the era - horse-drawn carriages through CW by people that don't look like crap (I.e. what you see in Philly and Central Park/NYC). Right across the street is The College of William & Mary - second-oldest college in the US (behind Harvard), and it actually has the OLDEST academic building currently in use in the country (The Wren Building). Jamestowne is right here and Yorktown is a 20-minute drive.
Regarding education, Virginia has a great list of colleges/universities, both public and private. Some really great ones too that are rather inexpensive.. Both UVA and W&M are public Unis, and were voted last year I believe #1 & #2 education for your money in the US.
For the kids, there is tons of stuff to do. Busch Gardens, Water Country, Go-Karts. Kings Dominion is only an hour away.
Cost of living is also great here, really affordable. And of course, plenty of B&Ms.
If this isn't enough to get you interested then you're crazy. Seriously though, my family and I love it here and will be bummed to move away before long.
sounds like a good place to visit, I dont think I could be sold on anywhere else but the charleston area....as many have tried, me and the wife always end up spinning the map back. The weather, the beach, the night life, the music scene, nicely located to major areas for mini vacations. But I am going to do some research of my own on the area you speak of, as I love to look at other places and who knows we may fall in love with it.
