Idk what it is about SC but every time I been there as soon as you get past South of the Border on 95 it feels like I’m in another time before I was born
Breh, I'm from Fayetteville and moved to Flo-town
...you aint never lied about the stark difference between the two
, I used to hate visiting grandma down in SC
A lot of it has to do with how both states are run AND, each has the opposite development on either side of the state. NC is traditionally more democratic than SC could ever hope to be. The east side of NC up to Charlotte has heavy economic development whereas SC don't have much until you get past Columbia and up into Greenville.
You gotta go further south to Charleston on the east side to find anything decent...unless you just passing through to get to Myrtle Beach
