Welcome to S.C. Most on this thread are right to advise you to slow down.
It will be easy since there are far fewer rude pests and sociopaths living here that revel in your irritation like in NYC.
Opinion: grits are not to be sweetened. Save that for your cereal silly rabbit.
Grits require a large pat of real butter and salt. Have eggs over easy and crispy bacon on the side.
Don’t cut people off in traffic….leave tailgating in NYC.
Don’t ever attempt to tell anyone how things were done back home.
When you meet people let them talk.
And if someone says “Bless your heart”, that is not what it means.
Probably be best to lay low for a week and a day ... they are out there and will get you if they can.
Good move. Just realize the dangerous demographic of NYC is also in SC.
Best wishes for your new adventure! I hope you love it there.
I always laugh at these “moved to the Deep South” posts.
Growing up in Mobile,AL...
We considered anything north of Birmingham, to be Yankee land
/s
Lots of luck :)
Good Luck and best wishes. In a year hopefully I will retire and sell everything in Commiefornia and move closer to northeast Texas where my grand children are.
Goos to hear.
Watch out for golf carts on the roads and the drunken lady who crashes into them.
I’m very, very happy for you.
Find a Whataburger!
Congrats and PLEASE DON’T VOTE BLUE!
Congrats on your move. You will really enjoy the absence of Alternate Parking days and a general sense of freedom. I moved out of NYC in the fall of 2019 and never looked back.
So will you be bringing your ‘D’ voting habits with you?
Congrats! Nest of luck to you.
Left Chicago 5 years ago! Haven’t missed it.
Congrats & Best of Luck to you! As a “damn Yankee”, I agree with whoever posted the first summer will be an adjustment! We moved from NJ to North Carolina just shy of 34 yrs ago. The humidity the first summer here was brutal...I thought it would kill me...haha...but once you get used to it, well, you are used to it. Took me about 3 yrs to love living here in NC. Now you couldn’t pay me to go back north...even for a visit! Things will seem to move very slow the first year but before you know it, you will be moving just as slow. haha People are nicer, traffic isn’t as bad and the one thing that really sticks out to me is how beautiful, open, and clean everything in the South is compared to up North. We were in NJ about 6 yrs ago for a funeral and as soon as everything was over with, I told my husband....let’s get out of here NOW! Everywhere in NJ we went it seemed so dirty and houses were on top of each other. Traffic was a nightmare and made me very nervous. The closer we got to “home” [NC] the lower my BP got again. Yes, it is an adjustment going from North to South, but if you give it time, I bet you will love it and be sorry you didn’t make the move sooner!
Interesting...
I pretty much said the same thing when that scumbag John Lindsey began the total cultural destruction of NYC in 1966...
Best wishes! We have a house in SC so we are part timers there. I think you will like it.
There are some amazing hiking trails in SC. If you are anywhere near Table Rock/Oconee State parks, there is the Foothills trail that is stunning with 47 waterfalls throughout its 78 trail miles.
Attaboy ! Good luck in your new home.
