Please, for the love of all that is holy, don't move to South Carolina. Seriously, the summers are brutally hot and humid. The mosquitos are big enough to try on your clothes. The school system is among the worst in the country. The roads look like the surface of the moon because of all the potholes. SCDOT thinks "tar and gravel" is the same as pavement. The weather is generally unpredictable and usually bad. No one knows how to drive, especially when it's wet. Lord help you if it snows, when everyone acts like a hooligan and crashes. And let's not forget that until it was outlawed, this was the birthplace of the "Carolina Squat". You don't want to live here.
At least that's what I tell everyone. We're in the middle of a huge building boom and it sucks. I moved from Spartanburg to a small town 30 miles away to get away from it.
