Charleston Takes Hit in Looks Department

San Juan? Say what?

That’s right, the tropical American territory has beaten out the Holy City to capture the title of American city with the most attractive residents, according to a poll by Travel + Leisure.

“I look and feel like a troll every time I'm in Charleston,” said one source. “Their bone structure, the preppy clothes, and the consistent—almost persistent—friendliness make everyone prettier.”
