Greenville, while sketchy in some parts back then, was more enjoyable and less crowded 10-15 years ago. Downtown feels overrun now. My home (for the past 7 years) is anderson and feels like what greenville was in its growing phase, a blend of revival meets original residents. I hate to see the old school people who accept change be shoved out by newcomers, and that’s what I work to try to prevent here - working toward bridging the gap between the new folks and the longtime residents.

As a native South Carolinian, I have a few corrections to make. First, mustard BBQ sauce is the primary sauce in the Midlands, Most of the other areas are .more likely to offer you vinegar based (especially in the Pee Dee area). My hometown of Cheraw, SC offers some of the best that you ever tasted. The other correction is regarding "Bless Your Heart." While it is true that bless your heart can be used as an insult, it can often be used as a term of endearment. You just have to listen to the context. If someone in your family passed, or you break your leg bless your heart is most likely an expression of sympathy. The funny thing about that term is that people who like to highlight that expression often come from places who use terms that are equally as bad - "God bless him" and "I am just sayin'"...

I'm house hunting right now and the only areas im interested in are DeLand, Ormond Beach, Flagler Beach areas and Plant City- east of Tampa. Im also looking into NWA (Northwest Arkansas) in the Ozarks and maybe east Oklahoma. Basically because of all the waterfalls, river, and the Ozarks. I know FL and Ozarks are alot different but i can get a couple acres in OK or AR with a decent house for around $100k or less. They also have stand your ground laws and have passive gun laws. SC is still a good option. Decisions decisions 🤔. Do i want land or close to the beach? Hard choice. Edit: FL is getting very crowded which i dont care for. In 20 yrs it will be unlivable.

Being diabetic, I wouldn't fit in with the sweet tea thing. Stationed @ Myrtle Beach AFB 84-86 (I heard it's a big strip mall now) & loved going to the beach etc. However, gotta be careful re: fire ants. Possibly looking forward to coming back & settling down. Ya'll be blessed.

just remember that the school system here sucks! So lots of people either chose to homeschool or private school.

In south Carolina born and raise here in the summer good God it get hot and winter bipolar. We barely get snow and when it do people get scare stock up everything from the store. The cost of living here is high you have to make three or four time the rent.

No it's not. Very cheap to live there. Problem is they DON'T pay S@@t. Try living in Austin, Texas, or the Bay area. 3 months rent in SC pays for just 1 months rent there.

As for the mosquitoes, I’m from south Florida. They don’t scare me, they just kind of piss me off.

Coming to SC for the winter. I bought a few acres in Orangeburg. Can anyone tell me about the area? I just want peace and quiet, to ride my horses, and enjoy the southern culture. I also want to be in a red state. I hate where my state is heading. I promise I won't talk about anything being better back home lol except for maybe the pizza. 😁

I'm from Maryland and have been in Summerville for past 6 years it's OK but l would l would like to locate to spatensburg
