i have lived all over, moved to Upstate SC, not too far from Charlotte, NC, about 8 years ago, from Kansas.

I just love living here. So do my kids, they don't plan on ever leaving the coast. So much to do, so close to just about everything. Mountains, seas, places like Charleston, Savannah, or up to DC, and endless back roads to enjoy.

I love the fact that i can be out in my garage every day, although, sure enough today, , snow and ice, which we get once or twice a year, but generally all i need to be outside is a sweatshirt. I can BBQ every day of the year, too.

I just think i can get more out of every day here than in other places i have lived. Plus, here in SC, the law doesn't hassel citizens. Want to carry a concealed, no problem. Want an engine without emissions or smog checks, no problem. Fine colleges, too.

Just the place for me.
