I'm seeing your review a bit late, so if you've already moved, then I hope it worked out for you. I'm also from Michigan; the city of Pontiac, and have lived in SC for over twenty years now. I chose a job here as a trucker because my son and his mom were here. Well, he's grown and gone, and I'm still here... not by choice. I don't actually live in Charleston, but am situated a hundred miles away in Columbia. I do though, know enough to tell you that places like Charleston are excellent to visit, but you don't wanna live there. I'm just here because we 'bought things' and can't just pick up and move. My wife and I love the weather, but the culture and whatnot is geared to those of "southern heritage" and those from the north would eventually find it; if not immediately somewhat ignorant. In addition, natives are somewhat slow and lazy; you'll find that city, county, and state services are lacking. It's a good ole' boy network where housing inspectors and such just "look the other way" when it comes to things taken a bit more seriously and competently in the north. Good luck! I hope you make, or have made a wise and informed choice.
