The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina — Attraction in Charleston

Clean cut at its best.

No ragged and torn clothing, no Rand McNally maps running up and down arms (tattoos) no steel dangling from noses, no pants hanging half off butts, one could feel pride in America and hope for the future when touring this vast and beautiful campus.

I've heard a lot of things have changed but the campus is still beautiful and the tradition lives on.
