I know I’m not the only one, now come to me my fellow South Carolinians, come to me! 😃 I’m from Seneca, SC myself, and bored out of my mind if you must know the Gods honest truth. ---

Well, that stands to reason. Looks like Clemson’s the only thing nearby! 😃 There’s a sparse few SC Dopers (I’m not one of them, though I once lived in SC), and you’re about to lose one when **Skerri** moves her worldly belongings from Charleston to Baltimore later this week. ---

I’m in SC for a few years, Charleston to be exact. I’m not a native, though. Graduate school and all that. And I don’t talk much in the morning. Have a good day! 🙂 ---

I am currently in Bennettsville, SC, but I am planning on getting out permanently this summer. ---

**Heloise** lived in South Carolina for a long time, but not anymore. ---

Yup. I’m outta here tomorrow, though. I’ve lived here ALL MY LIFE, and I’m finally getting out of this place. Woo! 😃 ---

I can think of one from the Pee-Deeish area, one from the Orangeburgish area, three from the Columbia area, and three from the Charleston area. I won’t name names, though, since they might want to stay incognito. ---

I’ve got an apartment on the mainland at Hilton Head Island (Bluffton, to be precise), but I am working in Athens, GA and living here with my folks until I get done moving my things next month. I’m FREE! I’m FREE! Seriously though, I was born and raised in Athens, and while I love Charleston, Bluffton/HHI gets old (there’s only so much ‘Tropical Resort’ you can stand, when there’s a total lack of culture there as well). ---

I’m an occasional S.C. doper (Columbia): used to live there, and go back to visit my SO when I can. And yup, Hilton Head is good for an occasional visit: there just isn’t enough there to keep me entertained for very long. (And I have had my fill of living in tourist areas, thank you very much.) * * * \<\< COFFEE.EXE not found. Insert cup and hit any key to contiune. \>\> ---

I’m in the Upstate (Greenville area)–not too far from you, **BrentLumkin**. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of us SC-ers. ---

I was in Columbia for ~7 years for college & grad school, but for the last year or so I have been pretty much going where the somewhat sparse work in my field takes me. My family’s still in the area, though, and I’m back often. ---

I’m in Charleston. I’m not from here but I’ve been here 6 years now. ---

Another Columbia Doper checking in. I’ve lived here for about five and a half years now (moved from West Palm Beach, Florida). **Searching For Truth** also lives in Columbia; I’m sure she’ll check in eventually. ---

Ah yes. Thanks, **Catalyst**. I think I’m going to call you ‘Catty’ for short on the boards. 😉 Whaddya think? I’ve lived in Columbia for 8-9 years. Looking forward to my move to Charleston, next semester. ---

Thanks to Slainte for pointing me to a current SC thread! I vow to improve my searching skills in the future. I actually live in Simpsonville, but nobody knows where that is. (It’s a suburb of G’ville.) Anybody in the area, my local cliche has made a vow to have some good rednecky fun at Greenville/Pickens speedway every Saturday night, if anyone feels like getting some pieces in their beers. ---

I’m in the Upstate too. Taylors area, I had no idea there were so many here although I’m much more a lurker than a poster. Bruce\_Daddy, my husband is in construction and is in Simpsonville every day. That part of town is exploding ---

I used to live in Laurinburg, NC, about 1/2 mile from the South Carolina border - and not far at all from Bennettsville!
