In a week and a day, I'll no longer be living in NYC.

Finally, after so long, I'm moving down south, to South Carolina. Got a job, signed a lease on an apartment, and I'm gonna get my first car down there. Things are looking up, and I hope that down the line, I'm making the right decision.

[Zathras]

Congrats!

Remember to enjoy sweet tea, pecan pie and Waffle House.

Where in SC? If you come through Virginia, look us up.

“””Do not make the mistake a lot of northern s do, just because the good folks talk slow they are not slow thinkers.”””

I had a northern buddy in Texas who said that he made that mistake, he said he took it in the shorts on 3 business deals in his antique dealings before he learned to look past that “aw shucks” “just an ol Texas boy antique dabbler” persona.

[Does so]

You’ve picked a great state in South Carolina. Nice folks everywhere.

If SC had been a warmer climate, I’d live THERE instead of Florida.

[T.B. Yoits]

So... you’re emigrating to America. Welcome.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

And grits. Don’t forget the grits.

[Gay State Conservative]

And develop a taste for grits.I still remember my first (and last) experience with grits.I,a 19 year old kid from the Boston suburbs,was in BCT at Fort Knox.One morning I decided to try grits. Tasted like wall paper paste.

A learning experience for sure.

Take your time and don't make any snap judgments.

I went to school in NJ but Southern through at least 10 generations . . . people ARE different down here.

As a free bonus, here is a quick field guide to Southern women . . . 3 insufferable debs, one older lady, and a genuine Redneck.

$#!+ Southern Women Say Note the reference to Clemson . . .

Consider the video a supplement to this extremely useful book:

I have identified all of the types in this field guide, and just about every word of it is accurate. I am a "That Child" as in "I don't know what I'm going to do with that child."

Good luck. Try not to be into much of a rush.

[GizzyGirl]

Super excited for you as you start your next chapter in life. Best of everything with new job, new apartment, new car, new friends. And be especially careful in the grocery stores, people maneuver their carts much more slowly and if you are operating with a northeast hurry up pace you will very annoyingly run into many rear ends and heels. Slow and steady gets the job done vs. race and rush no matter where you go.😁

Summer NEVER sucks … that’s why God invented cold beer…

[whinecountry]

A friend here in CA moved to SC last year and loves it. Congrats!

8 days is a long time to try to survive in NYC.

[A Navy Vet]

Sounds good, but I would recommend carry mosquito repellent and having some units sitting around or while camping.

I keep reading that ZapTek has the highest reviews.

It’s a great place. Enjoy the Smokies

When I moved out of a city into a calm suburb I felt as if I was “on guard” all the time. I would think, “Why are they being nice to me.”

After a while, you realize that in a very large part of the world, people are really nice. Things will slow down for you. Your blood pressure will drop. And you will realize that thing on your face…is sunshine. And you will only take cabs to the airport.

Put a little butter, salt and pepper in those grits...You’ll love ‘em....

[Babsig]

Sorry SC is full. Jk. We are having so many noertherns or Cali folks moving here. Just don’t act like a Yankee and be prepared for awful driving. Be patient. Too many ppl are bringing their crappy northern attitudes.

[MotorCityBuck]

A lot of good posts. That one made me laugh. Ain’t that the truth.
Been working in MS.
and staying in downtown Memphis for almost 2 years.
Patience is a Virtue.
