Star Rating - 3/3/2007
Don't move here if you're not a right-winged hypocritical bible thumper....i'm in a mixed relationship and am treated like a petting zoo....Not much to do for nightlife unless you go to a semi-dangerous redneck(wanna be hip-hop club)that rhymes with c.j. crispers.....If you go to a "black club" here you can expect random acts of violence....go to greenville for entertainment...if you're a family person there are two big, pretty nice theatres....oh yeah...and a huge flea market full of bootleg dvds, animals and knives. There is lake hartwell...however you can't each the fish you catch because the water has been long contaminated...you can travel to nearby clemson university to catch a football game....other than that it pretty much sucks...nothing but restaurants, banks, and gas stations....p.s. the mall is tiny.

I am not a right-winged hypocritical bible thumper. Glad to hear the redneck hangout is semi-dangerous but the black club has expected random violence.That is so funny that you put it that way, true but funny that you as a black guy notice that even rednecks as you call them have less violence than black people. Greenville yeah there is a safe place to be, there is much more crime in Greenville than Anderson. Do you have any knowledge on what you are typing? Interracial couples want the attention I know you do or you wouldn't have mentioned it. Like gays need the attention. What is everyone's issue? Maybe you feel like people are looking at you weird cause that is how you feel they need to be looking at you. Dude it is a mind game and you have tricked yourself into losing. As for the Anderson Jockey Lot people come from different states to visit it. They have vendors for miles. Yes you can buy cds and dvds there but bootleg cds and dvds aren't allowed.There is a huge collection of knives and some puppies and kittens. They even have farm animals and exotic animals as well. They have pictures , furniture, clothing, shoes, make-up, skin care, electronics, specialized printing, you name it the Anderson Jockey Lot has it. I have never heard of anyone going and not finding something they wanted. So what you aren't into knives, my advise it don't buy one. Who wouldn't want to buy a purebred puppy registered with shots and a health guarantee for $150 and up vs. going to the pet store and buying the same quality puppy for $2500. You would have to be stupid to pay that much but they do finance your puppy I say if you need a family member financed maybe you don't need them. I have not fished in Lake Hartwell but I also never heard not to eat the fish from there so I don't know if that is true or not. There are plenty of places to fish other than Hartwell though in Anderson. Yes Clemson is close but in all towns lets be honest aren't they all restaurants,banks and gas stations, and don't forget shopping. There is also two well known established colleges. Hospitals and doctor's offices like all towns have what exactly were you looking for all towns are the same. The people are what make the town and other than you being insecure in yourself and your relationship I heard nothing bad about the people so for me that says it all. As for the Confederate Flag, yes you are in the South do some history before you knock the flag it has nothing to do with black people or the KKK so read a little before you believe everything you are told by your black upbringings. Never know you have have been mislead, just think of The Easter Bunny and wise up!

Well, there it is folks, thank you angela for that demonstration of hypocrisy john was talking about. Of course, it couldn't be something other than getting attention that is the reason for mixed relationships and gay people to exist. Of course the Confederate flag is for something virtuous and sacred, not a symbol of "Christian"-approved slavery. Please spare me the sanctimonious bull. I'm calling the small-mindedness and hypocrisy out for what it really is.

WOW!! You actually sound racist especially being in a supposedly "mixed" relationship. You sound like a hateful and very unhappy individual.. I find Southerners to be way more open minded than most close minded folks from up North. Southerners are far more cultured. The only places that have any diversity up North are the larger cities, otherwise most of those states are lily-white. Even in the larger Northern cities most neighborhoods are segregated. Those people know nothing about diversity and usually are very racist and backwards. Not saying racism does not exist in the South but it is much worse up North where there is hardly any diversity. Most counties are over 80% white!! The northerners love to point fingers..
