Forbes Traveler Says King Street in “10 Top Shopping Districts in USA”

For Immediate Release, December 2008

Forbes Traveler named Charleston’s historic King Street shopping area as one of the “10 Top Shopping Districts in USA” in a November article by Lynn Parramore.

This follows CNN and the September issue of Southern Living magazine highlighting The Upper King Design District in the cover article “10 Reasons to Visit Charleston Again.”

Parramore writes, “You can imagine any number of Southern belles sweeping down storied blocks packed with antiques, shoes, jewelry and luxury boutiques. You'll find familiar names like Abercrombie & Fitch, plus locally owned stores such as Bob Ellis for shoes and Half Moon Outfitters for hiking gear. Hit the luxe Shops at Charleston Place; then check out home furnishings on Upper King Street. For one-of-kind antiques, browse King Street Antique Mall. A Shrimp & Grits Martini at the Swamp Fox, inside the Francis Marion Hotel, is just the thing to revive the shopped-out.

"We’re in kind of a bubble because Charleston is such a popular place for tourists," says Susan Lucas, representative for Charleston’s Upper King Street Design District. The stores in this South Carolina town are feeling a pinch, she admits, but "the high-end stores are offering more of a mix of things, so everybody gets to take something home.”

The towers are 550 feet tall, and the bridge was completed well ahead of schedule and under the budget of $700 million. It offers dramatic views of Charleston and the surrounding areas.
