I live here - born and raised in SC - I lived in the Upstate the majority of my life. Moved to the coast to be near the beach. Ten years ago, it was heaven being here. I am amazed at how much change has taken place in the full 12 years we have lived here. Crowds and construction have exploded. Traffic is horrible. You almost get mobbed in stores they are so crowded. Forget about getting into a restaurant around here during the summer months. Actually the roads are better here than they were in the Upstate. The biggest change is the crowding, the amount of new construction, increased traffic, and the inherent crime increase associated with being a tourist area where every transient soul has a dream of moving here and making it big. Low paying jobs and businesses cannot keep employees so service issues are bad. I love being near the beach enough to put up with all of this, but as an inside observer, it sure ain't what it used to be.
I've lived in Greenville SC for 21 years. Probably the most accurate thing is the roads are bad but they're fixing them slowly at least. The public schools are better in the upstate generally. We also have good collages in the state like Clemson, USC, Furman, wofford etc. Greenville is expanding so fast there's a new building every time I go downtown but it's exciting. Charleston is fun but expensive to live there I've heard. We have mountains and beach in a 3 hour drive. Takes me about 2 hours to Atlanta or Charlotte.
Yeah please don't move here. #1 reason you shouldn't move here. We expect manners. Trashing our areas beaches roads etc pi$$es us off. Inconsiderate driving.. automatic license plate check so we can yell damn fool or damn Yankees 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
strgazerlilly don’t worry...I was there once and it’s pretty much a big ghetto with a beach!!! Just 2 blocks away from the beach looks like Harlem!!! Run down trailer parks...broke down cars in the driveway with garbage cans overflowing with 5 black baby mama lounging around the pig sty and 10 kids running around in all that filth...minimarts with bars on the windows and doors...EBT and cheap cigarette signs everywhere...OVERPRICED EVERYTHING...heavy traffic everywhere...don’t worry...I won’t be back...it was a total let down!!! I hope ur happy with all ur tourism dollars I’m supposed to jealous about...but it won’t be any of mine...in my experience Myrtle beach is a shithole with sugar coating!!! Btw...we travel the country going on golf vacations and your golf courses although plentiful...and highly rated and recommended were nothing special...we were very disappointed!!! We’ll never be back!!!
As a reminder SC has a MAJOR fault line going right through the middle of the state so earthquakes aren’t foreign to us. Normally they are small but we do have them and back in the late 1800s/1900s we had a major earthquake that caused a lot of destruction.
You have to born and raised here to know what you are talking about which you don't. people flock here from the North to retire and to escape from freezing and crime. no one retires to the North.
North Charleston has ranked ABOVE DETROIT for violent crime many times in the recent past. Compared to other states and cities SC and Charleston are s--tholes. You have to be "born and raised there" to NOT know this.
No one retires to "the North" (where I'm sure you've never been, and which they don't capitalize cause they're not knee-jerk anti-society) because the winters are FREAKING freezing. It's not 'cause you're so charming, Spanky.
Actually there are many floridans who retire to NC. And NC isnt just snowy, we too have a subtropical climate and nice (but under appreciated) beaches.
I live in upstate SC. I’ll just go ahead and give my scoop on this video. I second the road quality complaints. They are absolutely awful and I’m always on high alert with my tires. Drive into South Carolina from Georgia through one of the three major interstates, and the difference is noticeable immediately upon crossing the Savannah River. And yes, rush hour traffic in the three major cities (Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston) can get ugly. Alligators aren’t really much of a problem unless you live
FunFact Lister No state is perfect. Every state has it's good points and bad points. Roads can be bad in areas and other roads seem to be under perpetual construction. Just like other states, commutes into and out of large cities can be long and frustrating and the Lowcountry (which is exploding due to Boeing and Volvo and their associated subcontractors moving into the area) is becoming increasingly congested and expensive. I'm a native South Carolinian from Charleston but living in the Columbia area. I would one day like to move back down to Charleston but I honestly don't see that happening.
FunFact Lister...I live in the upstate too. Sparkle City (Spartanburg).. We are a college town and it is slowly turning more liberal as it fills with the next generation of snowflakes. I'm heading to the NC shores to retire if I can pull it off.
I thought about a visit but the videos seem to emphasize that everyone is pretty drunk all the time. I am uncomfortable being around drinking folks and can get that near my home in nw fla anyway.
Lived in Myrtle Beach over 10 yrs..it should not be considered a southern city...it has far more Yankees in Horry County then locals. Lacks southern charm. It's the North of the South.
Terri Satterfield it is raided by us Northerner tourists. (I am from Pennsylvania). That is the main reason why it is pretty Northern in Myrtle Beach. But I really hate the mustard sauce and BBQ in South Carolina.
I lived on the Isle of Palms for 3 months back in the mid seventies! It was summer, with the Windjammer Club right across the road! It was heavenly! I'd sit on the porch and watch the ships pass by in the moonlight! Of course that was in the seventies!
Charles Ward I live in the upstate but Isle of Palms is my favorite place in the world!! The Windjammer is still up and running and so is Wild Dunes! I try to go there about 2-3 times every year!
As a 30+ year local of Myrtle Beach, it's not as bad as the video makes it out to be. In fact, I just bought a new house here. I do agree that it is getting too crowded with tourists though. When I went to grade school, there were really no tourists or attractions here to speak of. I still don't get why it's so popular now. There's not really a whole lot here, just the beach of course then everyone goes to Broadway at the Beach. I haven't even gone to the beach in over 3 years. 99 degrees was not the average temperature this year. It was in the low to mid 90's I'd say with high humidity most days. Cost of electricity is 10 cents per kw/h so not really that bad. Now I think a good reason to move here is the cost of living. You can get a comparable house down here for probably half of what it would cost you up north. So if you were lucky enough to grow up in the north, then you can buy a really nice house down here. It's a struggle to get something really nice if you were born here though.
nelwyn yes the ave temp here in MB was in the low 90's but it rained damned near every day in July. Additionally the temps in Myrtle are always several degrees lower than inland.
I hope you're getting out of there ahead of Hurricane Florence! I know it's leaning more towards NC, but these storms are fickle. They often do whatever they want at the last minute. Stay safe and good luck! I had damage from Hurricane Irma last year, and I still haven't been able to get everything resolved. But life always comes before property. So I thank God I'm still here to tell you about it.
honestly, living in myrtle beach is superrrr fun. i used to come here as a lil tot and going to the boardwalk and looking at all of the lights feels so nostalgic. i love acting as if im a tourist in the summer to my own city
In the interior of SC it was all large plots (like 5 acres) with dilapidated trailers everywhere you look, and very rarely would you see warehouses and businesses. It was so odd to see, just imagine one big sprawling trailer park neighborhood with nothing obvious for jobs. I had to work all over the state for a month, and I will never work it again after that. So depressing.
@@Antweak83 people are moving out of California by the masses and relocating to the south. Their leaving California cause of high taxes and liberal policies destroying the state. Majority of people relocating still have the liberal mindset. I move to SC to from Ca but I left that liberal mindset behind and will never ever look back.
I can tell you 5 things wrong with South Carolina 1. Income Tax 2. The roads really are shitty 3. Gun laws are to strict 4. Northerners like to visit 5. School funding is very low
Yes you hit it on the head with this one Briggs. Overpopulation and road conditions for lack there of is definitely a big issue, especially in Charleston. That being said I think you should do one on Charleston next.
I have lived in SC most of my life. Please pay attention to this guy. I love my state and I am not crazy about people coming in and trying to "improve" it.
Parents 'retired' to North Myrtle Beach in 1965; that old ramshackle landmark hotel was the only structure over 2 stories. That was the time to be there. 13 years later, as one high rise hotel or condo was constructed ~ right on the shoreline ~ they retired again to Charlotte, NC, thankfully, before Hugo hit.
Dana says- There is no way you have lived in either of the states (I know you didn't say you did, I'm just observing.) Your comment couldn't be farther from the truth. Everything in NC (in general- not comparing cheapest towns in NC v. most expensive towns in SC of course) is more expensive than in SC. Cost of living, housing, taxes, cars, schooling, groceries, gasoline... the list goes on and on. You might have found spots in coastal NC that are cheaper than Myrtle Beach, Charleston, and/or Hilton Head (as those are the most expensive places in SC), but there are a ton of coastal SC areas cheaper than NC has. Just sayin'.
@@thomasrichards6245 What is it though, 50 to 100 dollar difference in rent between like say Raleigh and Columbia SC? Not much if Raleigh actually does offer a higher quality of life.
I think it's funny you put the welcome to North Carolina sign when talking about the conditions of our roads without even mentioning that you can tell you've entered North Carolina when the road suddenly stops being bumpy because North Carolina has awesome roads.
Born and raised in sc and left 10 years ago, reason I left: jobs, crime, bad schools, high taxes, horrible roads. Things I miss: great bbq, hash and rice, mild winters, rivers and the beach.
Live in the upstate area in Landrum. The past 12 years we have gotten snow from a dusting to 3 feet of snow. Yes, it melts fast, but does cause headaches.
Been going to MB for years and years and lived there in the 90 s. I love to visit and especially enjoy the clean air the region provides. If your an allergy sufferer, I would say it s a great place to relocate. Just visited LA and loved it too, but I still love the Atlantic for its warm waters.
when me and my family went to myrtle beach SC for 2 days, we were greeted by shops with inappropriate items, dirty fast food stops, gangs, packed beach, and people driving motor cycles and golf cars on the wrong side of the road from the rental area. and it is very comment to hear people blasting inappropriate, non family friendly music from their cars. i would recommend topsail or other beaches that are quieter.
That's because we like to give myrtle beach to the tourists. I was born and raised in SC, and I can tell you for a fact that no one in their right mind should go to myrtle. It's a damn tourist trap.
Have you heard about the skaneah,. ? A wolf like , lion sized creature , who lets out a loud screech in the dead of night or when he’s hunting? He wears a wolf skull upon his head, scruffy, black, mainline hair on his neck, and several pieces of fur from deer and such. Sometimes I can hear him screeching from across the lake, it sound a little bit like a woman screaming but also like a screech of a wild, angry, bird. If you see him, RUN, he *WILL* kill you if he can. He is known as a very unpopular “legend” of Columbia, cannot be found on google, he is real, I have seen him. Be careful
My wife and I are North Carolina residents that owned a condo in Myrtle Beach for nearly 8 years. Originally being from Central New York, I found the climate and South Carolina's coastal plain ecosystems to be remarkable. It was also interesting with the alligators. At MB there were several in the golf course ponds in our community. When I was kid, the only time you saw an alligator was at the Syracuse Zoo. It really was quite an experience to view them in their natural environment. In my opinion, Myrtle Beach is a beautiful, classy and affordable place; however, it was becoming more and more congested and the traffic could be a headache at times. Nonetheless, even though it is mentioned in the video that overpopulation is happening in South Carolina, I certainly didn't see it in my travels to Myrtle Beach from the Metropolitan Raleigh Area. I'm not arguing with the statistics but it seemed to me that until you got to Conway on US 501, there was an awful lot of open country. We ultimately sold our property there due to the driving distance and hurricanes that seemed to be more frequent.
I don't mean no harm but you left out Hurricanes or lot of rain and wind from Hurricanes cuz South Carolina just like any other coastal states especially southern coastal states get those type of storms or that type of weather pretty often in the summer months
Yep, the alligator on the golf course... been there, done that at Wescott Golf Course in North Charleston. There he was, 10 feet off the tee box just sunning and enjoying himself. Also, the state tax is great fun when you get a mailer from the state that says the treasury has been hacked and you've been effected by a breach. Fun for the whole family.
OK, I usually don't comment, but I feel a need to add my 2 cents. - - I moved to Upstate SC (Greer) about 8 years ago from suburban Chicago. All I can say is I love it here!! Yes, the summers can get hot; but compared to a Chicago winter, I'll take it. The BBQ is awesome (that's Pork Butt or Shoulder in many places down here). Yes they have mustard sauce but always have options. I like Mutts BBQ and combine the Sweet and Smokey with the mustard. The people are awesome and the downtown Greenville area with all the restaurants and microbreweries is great. Every place has its bad areas. If you just focus on those, you will never find anything you like, anywhere.
#6 Is so true. For me it was in reverse. I grew up in Louisiana for the most part. So gators, snakes and even an occasional bobcat were normal. But the first time i saw a grizzly I almost shat myself! You southern folk like myself might not be aware of this, but up north these bears are EVERYWHERE! They run, they can swim, they climb trees, I've even heard they can open doors! Gators don't do that chit!
You make a very good strong point because Bears will break into your home they know how to open doors with their paws go through your frigerator like they living in your house and then have the audacity not to clean up after themselves

I'm in Goose Creek. I've seen quite a few!
I live here - born and raised in SC - I lived in the Upstate the majority of my life. Moved to the coast to be near the beach. Ten years ago, it was heaven being here. I am amazed at how much change has taken place in the full 12 years we have lived here. Crowds and construction have exploded. Traffic is horrible. You almost get mobbed in stores they are so crowded. Forget about getting into a restaurant around here during the summer months. Actually the roads are better here than they were in the Upstate. The biggest change is the crowding, the amount of new construction, increased traffic, and the inherent crime increase associated with being a tourist area where every transient soul has a dream of moving here and making it big. Low paying jobs and businesses cannot keep employees so service issues are bad. I love being near the beach enough to put up with all of this, but as an inside observer, it sure ain't what it used to be.
Moved here from Brooklyn, NY and we love it here.
Welcome to SC 🌴
Anywhere would seem wonderful compared to the NYC cesspool.

Dodged that virus...huh
I've lived in Greenville SC for 21 years. Probably the most accurate thing is the roads are bad but they're fixing them slowly at least. The public schools are better in the upstate generally. We also have good collages in the state like Clemson, USC, Furman, wofford etc. Greenville is expanding so fast there's a new building every time I go downtown but it's exciting. Charleston is fun but expensive to live there I've heard. We have mountains and beach in a 3 hour drive. Takes me about 2 hours to Atlanta or Charlotte.
There's no jobs there
Yeah please don't move here. #1 reason you shouldn't move here. We expect manners. Trashing our areas beaches roads etc pi$$es us off. Inconsiderate driving.. automatic license plate check so we can yell damn fool or damn Yankees 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
do not worry Strgaz we getting richer by the day here with tourism they just jealous
You people are nuts. I visited there and found only mean people with smiles
strgazerlilly don’t worry...I was there once and it’s pretty much a big ghetto with a beach!!! Just 2 blocks away from the beach looks like Harlem!!! Run down trailer parks...broke down cars in the driveway with garbage cans overflowing with 5 black baby mama lounging around the pig sty and 10 kids running around in all that filth...minimarts with bars on the windows and doors...EBT and cheap cigarette signs everywhere...OVERPRICED EVERYTHING...heavy traffic everywhere...don’t worry...I won’t be back...it was a total let down!!! I hope ur happy with all ur tourism dollars I’m supposed to jealous about...but it won’t be any of mine...in my experience Myrtle beach is a shithole with sugar coating!!! Btw...we travel the country going on golf vacations and your golf courses although plentiful...and highly rated and recommended were nothing special...we were very disappointed!!! We’ll never be back!!!
@@aceofspades9785 which place would you recommend?
Sam Davis shove your golf balls where the sun doesn’t shine.
As a reminder SC has a MAJOR fault line going right through the middle of the state so earthquakes aren’t foreign to us. Normally they are small but we do have them and back in the late 1800s/1900s we had a major earthquake that caused a lot of destruction.
If I wasn’t from SC & was planning on moving here, this video wouldn’t deter me!
In SC, when I was there, we got snow one time. ONE TIME!
@Enroaching Entei welp that is SC for ya
You have to born and raised here to know what you are talking about which you don't. people flock here from the North to retire and to escape from freezing and crime. no one retires to the North.
North Charleston has ranked ABOVE DETROIT for violent crime many times in the recent past. Compared to other states and cities SC and Charleston are s--tholes. You have to be "born and raised there" to NOT know this.
No one retires to "the North" (where I'm sure you've never been, and which they don't capitalize cause they're not knee-jerk anti-society) because the winters are FREAKING freezing. It's not 'cause you're so charming, Spanky.
Actually there are many floridans who retire to NC. And NC isnt just snowy, we too have a subtropical climate and nice (but under appreciated) beaches.
Northerners make more money to retire and the south has lower living cost & the ocean. Adds up to me 8)
South Carolina has consistently ranked one of the most violent states every year at time taking the top spot.
BEING FROM MYRTLE BEACH I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. WE ARE TOO CROWDED
SIR Robert Taylor only during the summer time.
It’s the 12th largest city in SC. Only 30k people actually live there. It’s not big at all
Yes especially during the summer
I live in upstate SC. I’ll just go ahead and give my scoop on this video.
I second the road quality complaints. They are absolutely awful and I’m always on high alert with my tires. Drive into South Carolina from Georgia through one of the three major interstates, and the difference is noticeable immediately upon crossing the Savannah River. And yes, rush hour traffic in the three major cities (Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston) can get ugly.
Alligators aren’t really much of a problem unless you live
FunFact Lister I live in Greenville SC and I rather live here than Columbia or Charleston.
FunFact Lister No state is perfect. Every state has it's good points and bad points. Roads can be bad in areas and other roads seem to be under perpetual construction. Just like other states, commutes into and out of large cities can be long and frustrating and the Lowcountry (which is exploding due to Boeing and Volvo and their associated subcontractors moving into the area) is becoming increasingly congested and expensive. I'm a native South Carolinian from Charleston but living in the Columbia area. I would one day like to move back down to Charleston but I honestly don't see that happening.
FunFact Lister...I live in the upstate too. Sparkle City (Spartanburg).. We are a college town and it is slowly turning more liberal as it fills with the next generation of snowflakes. I'm heading to the NC shores to retire if I can pull it off.
I live in fort mill. Love it. Myrtle is a dump.
pirategirl58 More immature conservative name calling smh
i lived there for 3 years...everyone is either filthy rich or dirt poor
I thought about a visit but the videos seem to emphasize that everyone is pretty drunk all the time. I am uncomfortable being around drinking folks and can get that near my home in nw fla anyway.
This is true. I lived there 13 years, and had to move to North Carolina to actually get a decent year-round job with good pay and benefits.
*NC is the tax your ass off state* I'm from Charlotte
@@julianne2saw do not visit Nevada or new Mexico lmao drunks are every were
That's the truth
Yeah, Myrtle Beach in South Carolina is nice, but there are way to many people going there!
I went there ONCE, it was like an ant hill! The tourists can have it!
C B yeah I know, I am planning to move there.
Lived in Myrtle Beach over 10 yrs..it should not be considered a southern city...it has far more Yankees in Horry County then locals. Lacks southern charm. It's the North of the South.
Terri Satterfield it is raided by us Northerner tourists. (I am from Pennsylvania). That is the main reason why it is pretty Northern in Myrtle Beach. But I really hate the mustard sauce and BBQ in South Carolina.
Your from PA,barbecue is hot dogs on a grill up there.Pulled pork bbq is the best.
I lived on the Isle of Palms for 3 months back in the mid seventies! It was summer, with the Windjammer Club right across the road! It was heavenly! I'd sit on the porch and watch the ships pass by in the moonlight! Of course that was in the seventies!
Charles Ward I live in the upstate but Isle of Palms is my favorite place in the world!! The Windjammer is still up and running and so is Wild Dunes! I try to go there about 2-3 times every year!
I live in Myrtle Beach for a year nice i really liked it no problem on the blvd North Ocean 1700 block

karifurai true
As a 30+ year local of Myrtle Beach, it's not as bad as the video makes it out to be. In fact, I just bought a new house here. I do agree that it is getting too crowded with tourists though. When I went to grade school, there were really no tourists or attractions here to speak of. I still don't get why it's so popular now. There's not really a whole lot here, just the beach of course then everyone goes to Broadway at the Beach. I haven't even gone to the beach in over 3 years. 99 degrees was not the average temperature this year. It was in the low to mid 90's I'd say with high humidity most days. Cost of electricity is 10 cents per kw/h so not really that bad. Now I think a good reason to move here is the cost of living. You can get a comparable house down here for probably half of what it would cost you up north. So if you were lucky enough to grow up in the north, then you can buy a really nice house down here. It's a struggle to get something really nice if you were born here though.
nelwyn yes the ave temp here in MB was in the low 90's but it rained damned near every day in July. Additionally the temps in Myrtle are always several degrees lower than inland.
Why does everybody down here think housing is cheaper than Ohio it is actually 17% higher in this ridiculous state 🤬🤬
Because it is. Ohio is just one state. Not saying it's the cheapest in the country, but it's lower than many northern states.
I grew up in FL. I don't get the appeal of Myrtle Beach. The hotel prices are a complete joke.
I hope you're getting out of there ahead of Hurricane Florence! I know it's leaning more towards NC, but these storms are fickle. They often do whatever they want at the last minute. Stay safe and good luck! I had damage from Hurricane Irma last year, and I still haven't been able to get everything resolved. But life always comes before property. So I thank God I'm still here to tell you about it.
Left SC for school can't wait to go back I love it down there
I was born and raised in Hawthorne,. California now I live in South Carolina.
honestly, living in myrtle beach is superrrr fun. i used to come here as a lil tot and going to the boardwalk and looking at all of the lights feels so nostalgic. i love acting as if im a tourist in the summer to my own city
We all wear fricken Simply Southern
FOR REAL
That's right... My daughter just brought me 2 new ones yesterday. Got them while she was in Hilton Head..
All weird ppl in sc wear that
In the interior of SC it was all large plots (like 5 acres) with dilapidated trailers everywhere you look, and very rarely would you see warehouses and businesses. It was so odd to see, just imagine one big sprawling trailer park neighborhood with nothing obvious for jobs. I had to work all over the state for a month, and I will never work it again after that. So depressing.
Trailer park capital
Dont move here if you are a Californian.
Why?
@@Antweak83 people are moving out of California by the masses and relocating to the south. Their leaving California cause of high taxes and liberal policies destroying the state. Majority of people relocating still have the liberal mindset. I move to SC to from Ca but I left that liberal mindset behind and will never ever look back.
Correct. Please don't lol. xD
Fat GucciMane "by the masses" lol, our population keeps growing
Ramses Farias Illegals are replacing the Californians.
I can tell you 5 things wrong with South Carolina
1. Income Tax
2. The roads really are shitty
3. Gun laws are to strict
4. Northerners like to visit
5. School funding is very low
its a red state what you expect get out and move
Kevin Mansell why would I want to move so I can deal with more Democrats than I already do?
I was born and raised in South Carolina it’s amazing!
I've lived in south Carolina for all my life and I have never seen a gator.
U must live in the City
I love the Carolinas I moved here six years ago and I wouldn't live anywhere else South or North Carolina.
number 1 reason for me to not move there: my miserable excuse of an ex-girlfriend
What happen, boo??💔
Your problem
Yes you hit it on the head with this one Briggs. Overpopulation and road conditions for lack there of is definitely a big issue, especially in Charleston. That being said I think you should do one on Charleston next.
I have lived in SC most of my life. Please pay attention to this guy. I love my state and I am not crazy about people coming in and trying to "improve" it.
Born and bred in Columbia,sc If they’re nice idc but don’t change SHIT!!!!
I lived in Greenville for ten years, and i loved it, i miss Greenville.

Killer hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms. Storms in South Carolina can be hellish.
You havent seen anything until you move to Missouri.
Parents 'retired' to North Myrtle Beach in 1965; that old ramshackle landmark hotel was the only structure over 2 stories. That was the time to be there. 13 years later, as one high rise hotel or condo was constructed ~ right on the shoreline ~ they retired again to Charlotte, NC, thankfully, before Hugo hit.
Love it here!
Didn’t mention the no seeums!
M Stafford 😂 I bet people are wondering what u just said! Them no seeums will get you every time! 💀
Love the state and I love the people. Love the culture. My family begs me to move us there every year. We will be moving there in the next few years.
Go an hour north from Myrtle Beach into North Carolina. NC seems to be more reasonably priced than SC.
Dana says- There is no way you have lived in either of the states (I know you didn't say you did, I'm just observing.) Your comment couldn't be farther from the truth. Everything in NC (in general- not comparing cheapest towns in NC v. most expensive towns in SC of course) is more expensive than in SC. Cost of living, housing, taxes, cars, schooling, groceries, gasoline... the list goes on and on. You might have found spots in coastal NC that are cheaper than Myrtle Beach, Charleston, and/or Hilton Head (as those are the most expensive places in SC), but there are a ton of coastal SC areas cheaper than NC has. Just sayin'.
Thanks Tom, I guess I had it reversed? Good to know!
Thomas Richards I would totally agree
Jersey Paul, but South Carolina has no car inspection.
@@thomasrichards6245 What is it though, 50 to 100 dollar difference in rent between like say Raleigh and Columbia SC? Not much if Raleigh actually does offer a higher quality of life.
I think it's funny you put the welcome to North Carolina sign when talking about the conditions of our roads without even mentioning that you can tell you've entered North Carolina when the road suddenly stops being bumpy because North Carolina has awesome roads.
I go every may sometimes sometimes not I loveeee mytle beach it is my fav place to go to vacation
Born and raised in sc and left 10 years ago, reason I left: jobs, crime, bad schools, high taxes, horrible roads.
Things I miss: great bbq, hash and rice, mild winters, rivers and the beach.
Come back it is better.
You forgot to catfish stew yuck
Best part about sc is I-95
So you can leave
Also it’s cold af In the winter
More like worst cause it dumps all the tourist in.
I simply love the South!
Live in the upstate area in Landrum. The past 12 years we have gotten snow from a dusting to 3 feet of snow. Yes, it melts fast, but does cause headaches.
The weather is weird too. Half of the sky is raining while the other half is sunny.
Been going to MB for years and years and lived there in the 90 s. I love to visit and especially enjoy the clean air the region provides. If your an allergy sufferer, I would say it s a great place to relocate. Just visited LA and loved it too, but I still love the Atlantic for its warm waters.
Isn't the warm water known for being real Sharky? That's why every store and restaurant have shark jaws hanging on the walls
AND I EVEN WENT TO MYRTLE BEACH OMG I DONT EVEN WANNA GO BACK TO THAT OCEAN EVER I WAS PEEING IN THE POOL AND EVERYTHING LMAO
You know your state is booty when the main representation of your state is a Gamecock
You missed one. High car insurance. I moved to California from SC 3 years ago and my rates instantly fell by 40%.
Greenville was not too shabby when I visited in 2017. Lots of friendly folks there that I encountered.
Hello from Greenville! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself!
South Carolina is beautiful!
when me and my family went to myrtle beach SC for 2 days, we were greeted by shops with inappropriate items, dirty fast food stops, gangs, packed beach, and people driving motor cycles and golf cars on the wrong side of the road from the rental area. and it is very comment to hear people blasting inappropriate, non family friendly music from their cars. i would recommend topsail or other beaches that are quieter.
That's because we like to give myrtle beach to the tourists. I was born and raised in SC, and I can tell you for a fact that no one in their right mind should go to myrtle. It's a damn tourist trap.
Wow, I love in SC
Myrtle Beach has a great breeze always blowing and at night it gets stronger but the wind will hurt you in the winter I miss home
Have you heard about the skaneah,. ? A wolf like , lion sized creature , who lets out a loud screech in the dead of night or when he’s hunting? He wears a wolf skull upon his head, scruffy, black, mainline hair on his neck, and several pieces of fur from deer and such. Sometimes I can hear him screeching from across the lake, it sound a little bit like a woman screaming but also like a screech of a wild, angry, bird. If you see him, RUN, he *WILL* kill you if he can. He is known as a very unpopular “legend” of Columbia, cannot be found on google, he is real, I have seen him. Be careful

Bro, when the bbq sauce is yellow, the bbq tastes that much better. I'm from SC and have learned that
My wife and I are North Carolina residents that owned a condo in Myrtle Beach for nearly 8 years. Originally being from Central New York, I found the climate and South Carolina's coastal plain ecosystems to be remarkable. It was also interesting with the alligators. At MB there were several in the golf course ponds in our community. When I was kid, the only time you saw an alligator was at the Syracuse Zoo. It really was quite an experience to view them in their natural environment. In my opinion, Myrtle Beach is a beautiful, classy and affordable place; however, it was becoming more and more congested and the traffic could be a headache at times. Nonetheless, even though it is mentioned in the video that overpopulation is happening in South Carolina, I certainly didn't see it in my travels to Myrtle Beach from the Metropolitan Raleigh Area. I'm not arguing with the statistics but it seemed to me that until you got to Conway on US 501, there was an awful lot of open country. We ultimately sold our property there due to the driving distance and hurricanes that seemed to be more frequent.
Mustard base BBQ sauce is only in the central part of SC. Eastern SC uses Vinegar base and upstate uses ketchup base.
Soda drinking, particularly Mountain Dew, is also a very SC thing...
Dana says- Mountain Dew drinking is especially a Blue Ridge mountain area thing, so not just SC but the whole area.
@@thomasrichards6245 the dew is NASTY stuff!
Yeah It is.
I personally don't drink MD, but a heck of a lot of people drink it here in S. Florida too! It's pretty popular!😊
Hell yeah, Mt. Dew rocks! Also, Sundrop is great too!
I don't mean no harm but you left out Hurricanes or lot of rain and wind from Hurricanes cuz South Carolina just like any other coastal states especially southern coastal states get those type of storms or that type of weather pretty often in the summer months
There's always that chance, yes. But it's not as though we keep our bags packed all summer, every summer in case of evacuation.
me, watching this as my family plans out our annual vacation to the SC coastline 👁👄👁
Yep, the alligator on the golf course... been there, done that at Wescott Golf Course in North Charleston. There he was, 10 feet off the tee box just sunning and enjoying himself. Also, the state tax is great fun when you get a mailer from the state that says the treasury has been hacked and you've been effected by a breach. Fun for the whole family.
OK, I usually don't comment, but I feel a need to add my 2 cents. - - I moved to Upstate SC (Greer) about 8 years ago from suburban Chicago. All I can say is I love it here!! Yes, the summers can get hot; but compared to a Chicago winter, I'll take it. The BBQ is awesome (that's Pork Butt or Shoulder in many places down here). Yes they have mustard sauce but always have options. I like Mutts BBQ and combine the Sweet and Smokey with the mustard. The people are awesome and the downtown Greenville area with all the restaurants and microbreweries is great. Every place has its bad areas. If you just focus on those, you will never find anything you like, anywhere.
Yeah, don't move here. We are full!

#6 Is so true. For me it was in reverse. I grew up in Louisiana for the most part. So gators, snakes and even an occasional bobcat were normal. But the first time i saw a grizzly I almost shat myself! You southern folk like myself might not be aware of this, but up north these bears are EVERYWHERE! They run, they can swim, they climb trees, I've even heard they can open doors! Gators don't do that chit!
You make a very good strong point because Bears will break into your home they know how to open doors with their paws go through your frigerator like they living in your house and then have the audacity not to clean up after themselves
