[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Murphy Village, SC.  Irish Travellers live there, and it's truly bizarre.  Huge McMansions with covered windows that appear unlived in, with trailers behind the houses where people actually reside.   You definitely get the sense of being watched, because you are--I think they contact each other whenever there's a stranger cruising the neighborhood.  If you drive around too long or too slow, they will follow you in big pickup trucks to intimidate you into leaving. [/quote]

I don’t get it.  Who built the McMansions and why?  What do they do with the McMansions?  What’s the point of being a Traveller (what my grandmother called a tinker?) if you’re living behind a mcmansion?  That honestly sounds like the worst of both worlds.  All the tacky boredom of suburbia, but without the closet space or water pressure.  [/quote]

There are allegations of widespread criminality in the community, which generated the money for the McMansions. e.g.:
