Say something good about South Carolina!

And the most obvious:

South Carolina is essentially "Low Country." If you like anything "Low Country", chances are it originated in SC.

 

They are called the “Cocks”

 

The kid that lived 2 doors down from me growing up was Tom Petty's first drummer (pre-MudCrutch).

How many of you are still around that share some of my memories of growing up in Gainesville:

Kirby Smith when it was still an elementary school
Manaro's Italian Restaurant
Chandler's Hamburgers (the first McDonald's in Gainesville moved in across the street and drove Chandler's out of business)
The Gainesville Drive-In Theater
Lincoln High School
The Canton Restaurant (great people but I don't think Mr. Eng ever spoke a word of English)
Feed a friend for a buck coupons in The Alligator (2 What-a-burgers for a dollar)
Leonardo's slice and a beer for $1 coupons in The Alligator
The old post office before it became The Hippodrome
The old courthouse when it was the new courthouse and people would put soap in the fountains
The Subterranean Circus
Louis' Delicious Lunch (two blocks off Depot, hamburgers with a little bit of sausage in them)
Florida Theater when it was a movie theater...many more

 

Both sauces are common. This was ftom a mom and pop shop, Piggies in Greer.

My daughter was born at the Charleston Navy Hospital. Teaching future nukes at Naval Nuclear Power School. Taking boats in and out of the Cooper River. Passing Patriots Point, Ft Sumter.

 

You are most welcome. Being stationed there was almost as nice as growing up in Gainesville and Florida before Disney ruined it. Being up in the sail for the trip in and out was just beautiful.

Sorry to hear that. You are ineligible to be in my club.

 

Years ago (15-20 years), one of the other sites had a thread:
Our Girls are Hotter than your Girls

USCe had some hotties.

 

South Carolinas defense.

The Beacon Drive-In in Spartanburg.

 

Hey, s__t happens. You just may win the NC in the end!

 

I live in Spartanburg and The Beacon is definitely a staple. It really was better when John White ran it.
