I've met a LOT of yankee transplants in Mt. Pleasant, people that have moved down in the last year, and most of them seem like they get it. I had one yankee woman say she's concerned too many yankees are coming down and they better leave their politics behind.
And I never bring up politics because I'm working. I just ask em "what brought you down here" and it leads into a rant about taxes and lockdowns
STILL PISSED they tore down Calhoun's statue. Stupid shit.
I was getting my car's oil changed in North Charleston, so waiting on a bench outside. A car salesman came by and we started talking and I mentioned I was from Long Island. He asked what brought me down here (though I moved down 16 years ago) and I mentioned the high taxes. He thought it was because LI was a tourist destination. Had a good laugh at that. I said of was infested with democrats. He quickly left after that. I wonder why.
Downtown Charleston is expensive for everyone except the hood rats in the projects off Beaufain and America Streets. Felt great paying 1325 for a small ass one bedroom knowing my taxes were helping supplement the criminals smoking weed all day every day.
Charleston for a visit is fantastic. If you like good food and history. It's tourist-y but great. You can visit the old jail that yankees took over (but never found the weapons cache in the basement). And this might sound weird but there are some great ghost tours in the city, too. Not really my thing but it's a great date night, especially if you have a group.
May wanna look into Savanah instead of Myrtle. Myrtle is just so trashy. People say North Myrtle is okay but I don't mess with any of it. I've lived here my whole life and haven't been to Myrtle since high school spring break. Charleston is liberal for locals but you'll love it. Also, go to the battery and take a boat ride out off the coast at sunset with some wine. It's a great tourist destination.
Myrtle Beach is not trash. I am very familiar with that area and it is a great vacation, if you know where to go and what to avoid. I travel there frequently and have yet to have a bad time on the Grand Strand. Like every where else, you just need to focus on what you enjoy doing. We always enjoy Huntington Beach State Park, Myrtle Beach State Park, Brookgreen Gardens, and just hanging out on the beach exploring the piers, walking, going on jet skis and banana boat rides, parasailing...
Yes. Until they get a new mayor and city council. They are demoKKKrat cucksters. Tearing down statues. Letting BLM riot. Dropping charges. Promoting Climate Change lies. Building section 8 projections with tax dollars.
It's a nice town, lots of history, great restaurants, water front park/battery. If you haven't been before should probably go. Mask nazi's aren't too bad, just depends on the establishment you go to.
As well you should. I didnt do that second guessing last summer when I was attracted to Bend Oregon to hook up with family on holiday there. It was a nightmare. A sad nightmare. Use to be such a beautiful fun place to visit. Total mask, distancing, santitizing paranoia to the point of closing shops during the day to "sanitize" the store. Monitored "sanitization" stations at the door of businesses before you could go in. I had a conversation with an 8 year old who was afraid all his friends would "forget" him because he couldnt go to school and wondered how many had ALREADY DIED. Can you imagine filling a child with this kind of madness? Its abuse of the highest order. Even outdoor farmers markets had the same "requirements". Never had such a disappointing time while on holiday. I dont plan on going back there again. Oh, and dont get me started on the restaurant thing there....OMG.....
Do not second guess your trip at all. You will have a fantastic time. Go to Myrtle Beach. Enjoy the ocean. It’s a fun beach. We’ve visited there many times with our boys and they have loved it every time. There is so much to do to keep busy. There is the beach, of course, where you can walk for miles, swim, hunt for shells, and relax with a great book. Most hotels have amazing pools and lazy rivers, hot tubs. Many days, my family will just go back and forth between the pools and the beach and never even leave the area. If we do leave, there are numerous entertainment options. If you like outdoor stuff you can visit and fish at the Myrtle Beach State Park. If you don’t fish, it is still fun to walk on the pier and look at the scenery. Often, we see people catching amazing things. My boys have seen a few hammerhead sharks and other types of sharks on the pier, which they love. Huntington Beach State Park is further south (on the way to Charleston) but also great for exploring and finding alligators and Brookgreen Gardens is right nearby. If you like shopping, there is Broadway at the Beach, which again, my kids love. It is full of shops and restaurants. There are activities to do there like riding big paddle boats shaped like swans and feeding carp from the docks, which is cheap entertainment. If you like miniature golf, there is mini golf at Broadway at the Beach and all over the Myrtle Beach area in general...they have dinosaur themes, jungle themes...they have the most golf courses in any area, so if you like regular golf too, this is the place to be. If you like entertainment they have an amusement park right near the ocean and a boardwalk where you can take a walk and grab an ice cream cone. At night, this area can get a little rough, but we have never had a problem (but then again my kids love Bourbon Street in New Orleans, too). If you like shows, they have all sorts of options, including the historic Bowery (where Alabama got its start) and typically there are numerous venues to enjoy music or performances. If you like baseball they have a fun team called the Myrtle Beach Pelicans and you can go to the stadium and enjoy a great evening at the ball park with your family. There are go kart tracks and movie theaters and Tanger Outlet Mall (if shopping is your thing). There are charter boats that will take you out on the water fishing and on dolphin sightings, you can rent jet skis, take a banana boat ride, parasail, learn to sail. If you like dining out there is a great area in Murrell’s Inlet (just south of Myrtle Beach) that is called the Marshwalk and you can find plenty of options for dining. They have kayak rentals, too. If you are bringing your children and looking for a great park there is one off Farrow Parkway called Savannah’s Playground that my boys love. There is a great little pond to walk around, too and plenty of options for shopping and dining off Farrow Parkway, as well. The Myrtle Beach area is full of fun things to do and I am sure you will have a fantastic time. Stop second guessing your trip and get that bikini ready! :)
Well those are the worst places in SC apart from Columbia, but you can still enjoy yourself there. Myrtle Beach has a bit of a crime problem, but visiting should be ok.
Charleston is a liberal shithole.
Whole bunch of demoKKKrats move to Charleston.
They tried to milk the tourism industry. That brings in demoKKKrats who then decide they want to live there.
Highest taxes in the state.

'Fraid of the exterminator?
Folly Beach is where it’s at.
High local cost of living is usually on purpose to ensure the residents are in a higher income bracket. Works pretty well.

Thats why Black Bike Week is in Myrtle Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I miss that place.
My husband and I are going to Myrtle Beach in May & we were going to visit Charleston. Should we just skip that? Liberals make me angry.
Skip Myrtle if you can. It's absolutely trash.

Thanks for the info.

Are they strict about masks outside? That is insane. I live in Iowa & I don't even wear a mask. I am really second guessing this trip.
