Where in Southeast - 8/10/2008
We are in our 50's currently living in the Virgin Islands. Cost of living is forcing us to return to the states, but where? We enjoy our outdoor life style - kayaking, snorkeling, swimming. We are in a culturally diverse and friendly area - it is expected that you will greet everyone that you pass on the street. We would like another community that reflects these traits. We are not interested in "cookie cutter homes". Would like access to airport to see grandchildren, enjoy live theater, don't care about sports, golfing or tennis but love water - river, real lakes (not mud puddles), creeks and of course the ocean. We are thinking of Beaufort, SC or small town in FL - Mount Dora is one that we are considering. Tell me where you think we should

Great Family Upstate State - 7/23/2008
If you are considering moving to this area, it is perfect for the settled family, structured for the more stable and traditional valued. Social and community involvement is encouraged but limited to church and traditional structure environments. If you seek a peaceful environment with a moderate climate this is it. However, with this laid back atmosphere is a more slow paced lifestyle. Atlanta is 2 hours away, mountains less than 1 and 5 hours to the beach. Flights to major destinations just require a bit of planning... heres to home

SOUTH CAROLINA - 3/16/2007
We live in SC, it's a beautifcul state. The wildlife and the birds make it such a beautiful place to wake up to in the morning. Heck, when I hear the song birds, I want to join in myself, if only there were words to those melodies! HA.
We South Carolina folks are downright hospitable, so when you visit, don't be surprised by a friendly hello or warm greeting, its just the way we do things down here.
Recently, more Northerers are making this their permanent home and well, I can't blame you.The only disappointment they've expressed is the low pay of the jobs here. I guess you really can't have it all. Well, see

Orangeburg County – Jobless for the Young and the - 12/21/2006
Orangeburg County currently has only a few jobs for it citizens. A lot of people have to travel to Columbia or other places to find work or work that pays decent wages. If Orangeburg were not a college town, this would be a "ghost town." All of these colleges graduating students who have to leave Orangeburg and South Carolina to find a better life. In addition, Orangeburg has no public transportation system. I do not know how Orangeburg received a title of All American City. Some of the jobs here pay well for people who hold certain position, but for the averagen person who has a high school or a college degree, the pay is below the national average. It is also a shame that Orangeburg and South Carolina have some of the poorest women in the nation.
Orangeburg County Council needs to wake up and smell the coffee. If the jobs don't get better, many people will leave here and many will not be retiring

Rich/Poor gap is nowhere more evident than here. - 12/3/2006
South Carolina has no middle class. You are either born affluent with all the inherent benefits thereof, or you are born into lower class tedium and are sentenced to scratching and clawing your way up throughout your whole life. If you are lucky you might make it to upper lower-class status. Most barely make it to the same economic level their parents had. South Carolina is an excellent case study in extreme denial and economic
