North Central, Downtown Charleston is a neighborhood of artist, writers, and musicians adjacent to the equally hip neighborhoods of Wagener Terrace and Hampton Park. Creatives and trendsetters fill the fashionable cafe’s and pubs within the environs of Upper King, Morrison Drive, and Rutledge Ave, while an eclectic dining scene features everything from speakeasy styled restaurants, breweries and dive bars to artisan coffee houses and gastropubs. Art supply stores and galleries mix with shops selling authentic french pastries in sidewalk al fresco settings. The landscape is defined by early 20th century bungalows and vernacular architecture. Here too is the site of the famed Palace Auditorium where Elvis Presley and The Allman Brothers Band once performed. This area first settled by French Huguenots who escaped religious persecution is the terminus of the future "Low Line" greenway. The familial and ethnic diversity of this section makes it a desirable home for all walks of life. Forever singles, young marrieds, progressive middle agers and retired long time residents share this inclusive enclave. Also, Bill Murray owns several bars in the area...which is nice.
