I moved to Greenville in 1995 from Connecticut. It's hard to get more Yankee than that. In the 11 years I have been here, the area has improved dramatically. I would never go back North. PROS: 1--The weather. It is beautiful here most of the ...

Charleston is a definite must for civil war history lovers. Besides the fact that I spent a big part of my childhood there, it is one of the most beautiful spots on the east coast. Downtown Charleston is...

Cons: humid summers, hurricanes near the coast

My husband and I left everyone and everything we knew on Long Island, New York, to move to South Carolina last year, because we saw New York clamping-down more and more on people's rights. It also got way too expensive to live there for an average...

Pros: Thrill Rides
Cons: The Prices and lack of food quality

Pros: Beauty, lots to do, great golf

I would go to Hilton Head Island over Florida any day for vacationing. Why? The beaches are beautiful and are less crowded. I stayed in a condo for a week (can't remember which one but they all seemed very nice). We contacted the Hilton Head rental...

I met the New Year's 2001 in Hilton Head. And let me tell you, this island, this community is a terrific getaway, for non beach residents. I stayed in the Westin resort, which is on the beach, near the northeast corner of the island. I could spend days...

First, the best aspect of the South...

Pros: wonderful towns
Cons: none that i could see

If you want to vacation somewhere that is not a "hot-spot" tourist town, then you must go to Upstate South Carolina. The Upstate contains Anderson, Greenville, Pendleton, Clemson, Traveler's Rest, Easley, plus many more that I am forgeting at...

Pros: No crowds, security, relaxed atmosphere
Cons: None

I really hesitate to give a glowing review of Fripp Island for fear too many people will discover it. However, due to the Fripp Island Resort management's philosophy this will not happen. Fripp is a owners and paying guests only island. So there are...
