The Best-Mannered City

Charleston, SC has been named the nation’s #1 Best-Mannered City for 11 years in a row on an unofficial list compiled by etiquette expert Marjabelle Young Stewart. The good manners of this city don’t stop with the genteel behavior of its citizens… you can see it even in the city’s architecture. Decorative pineapples - the Southern symbol of hospitality - appear everywhere.
