YOU CAN ALWAYS POINT OUT WHO WON
It seems you missed part of my post ... I bolded now it for emphasis.
no,i caught it.you just need to carry around a copy of the written surrender
Please don't hold the war against everyone from the south . As a 29 year native of SC, I couldn't give a rats a$$ about "the" war. Ya know I wasn't around, nor was my parents: dad from SC; mom from Michgan. I didn't win or loose, My fore fathers did . WHO CARES
I'm a S.C. girl married to a N.Y. (state) man--we joke about it occasionally, but no one really cares. You may get picked on from time to time if you have a really strong NY accent, but otherwise I think you'll like it down here. I know I do!
my best friend is from Connecticut, I actually concider him my brother. I have many friends and family, not to mention PHamily from the northern states. We are 1 NATION. We "SHOULD" be united.
I am a sophmore at the College of Charleston. I feel in love with this city when I moved down here. I am from the Upstate of South Carolina, so it was not a far move for me. Charleston is unlike any other city in South Carolina. It has a very European feel to it. The weather here is great too usually. The winters are never too cold, the summer it is rather humid, but thats just a really good excuse to spend a lot of the summer at the beach. The people in the city could not be nicer. I have encountered more polite and helpful people here than anywhere else in the state. It does not take long for this city to really feel like home either. Well, that is just my input into this. We have beautiful architecture, great weather, and nice people. Oh, and don't worry about the tourist during the summer. They aren't too bad. 4th of July week they do flood into the city, but one week of a lot of them isn't too bad. I stayed here and worked/lived here last summer. I couldn't bring myself to leave Charleston and go back home for the entire summer. Do look around and give the other cities a chance, your other choices are great places, but I promise you, you will not be unhappy with Charleston.
I've read dozens of books about heros and crooks and have learned much from both of their styles.
None of us care who moves here from where. What most anyone minds (no matter what state or country) is when someone moves into that place and complains about everything about the place. If it is SO bad (this goes DOUBLE for some) GO BACK FROM WHENCE YOU CAME.
When they run you out of town make it look like you are leading the parade.

Technically, they would be "damn yankees", since they moved there. "Yankee" is a term generally reserved for northerners who are only visiting the south.

Yes, yes, YES!!! THOSE are the "damn yankees"!
And in the 50+ years I've lived in the South, I've
met quite a few. Don't come down to enjoy our
sunshine and hospitality, and then be critical.
Just STAY HOME!

You're absolutely right!
However, I didn't want to scare him too badly... ... besides, I honestly didn't think we could type that word here!

Too far from the coast though... Ya see, I have this idea of having a boat docked on the inlet running through my backyard and I can just jump in and cruise out to open ocean....
swear to god the more i see this thread the more i want to move another s*** ass winter too cold to run outside, not enoughsnow to xcountry too freaking windy to ski on weekends the onlt thing i would miss besides the great workout i get shoveling, is my sports teams gues that's what cable and sirius radio is for can i get a house on or near the beach/lake for 400k? with three kids we's want a smaller town 10k or less, so they have a chance in high school sports
Bixxx...thats the wonderful thing about living in SC. Most of the coastal cities are small, so you can get in without going through thousands of tourists. Hell, even as touristy as Myrtle Beach is, I would still rather go there than many other places. But even still, you're only a short drive from so many smaller, out of the way beaches. I know our winters don't even begin to compare to yours but I still get cabin fever around this time of year waiting for the 80 degree weather to hurry up.
