COMMENT

Living in Aiken for the past 8 years If you are not interested in biking/outdoor activities, culture, education and don't have a palate then Aiken is the place for you. It is not too expensive to live here; however the crime rate seems very high or has been really inflated by gross miscarriage of justice by the local bored and uneducated police and sheriffs in this area. Little fish in little ponds. There are two parks that are aesthetically ugly and offer no shade or places to relax in the heat of the summer. Hitchcock Woods is very nice in the fall and winter for a walk; however most people that use the woods have dogs and they do not leash them; If you own horses it is a lovely place to ride as long as the dogs are leashed. Entertainment; mediocre at best. Downtown has too many little over priced shops that sell nothing but dreck. This is an ultra-conservative area and mostly blue collar labor industry. I would say not the brightest lights on Broadway. There are a lot of churches in Aiken.
