Yes, Charleston is nice, but its the gleaming ornament attached to an unbathed hillbilly. As soon as you cross over into SC everything is worse. Whether its off 95 or 77 or any other road, the drop in quality of every single thing around you is apparent.

Greenville is cute and surrounded by the ugliest stretch of suburban hell known to man between Spartanburg and there.

Did you have to be so truthful?

Charleston is pretty, but in terms of genteel racists, I think of Paula Deen. Gross.

It's all whitewashed and nice "southern" culture. Which was all created in backs of slave labor.

+1 Charleston is like a dignified lady sipping tea by the Atlantic.

I find it pretty creepy even if pretty.
