Why is North Carolina so much Better than South Carolina??

Taking the came on a lil week get away driving down to Orlando from dc to go to Disney world for 2-3 days and plan on stopping at a beach for 2-3 days. Taking my wife and kids don’t care for night life, I remember Hilton head being laid back and thought to go there. I am open though. This damn hurricane is completely fking up my plans don’t know what to do.

breh stop in the Outer Banks. It’s wonderful for families.

F’Nam is so depressing . Like as soon as you cross over into city limits , you feel this heavy , desolate feeling of an place barely holding on to a lifeline riding on the remnants of crumbling infrastructure that could completely give out at any minute.

There are a number of Carolina folks on here (South & North) so there are Fayetteville threads on here echoing that sentiment.

Legislators REALLY dropped the ball on everything east of Raleigh aside from Wilmington, which is a primary tourist destination, pretty much sells itself . Kinda like Myrtle in SC but Wilmington is not as universally popular .

and it just so happens ENC is the blackest part of the state that they chose to neglect .


It’s really depressing across damn near the entire coastal plain of North Carolina . And its become the poster child of the state’s poverty , despite them poor white folks in the mountains blowing up their houses from the Meth labs


I don’t see any anchor city emerging in Eastern NC for quite some time . Our grandkids might be able to see it one day

Yeah I hit the OBX regularly and once you get past Raleigh that drive is depressing. It aint shyt for about 2.5 hrs until you actually hit the bridges.

Eastern NC is straight up

North Carolina has overall better leadership.

Which is said to say because my mothers family is from SC but everytime I go there it feels like they are stuck in the 1960's. I do like Columbia near the University but even then it has a small time feel.

Being from the north, I feel I have some sort of soul connection with South Carolina. My grandfather was from Aiken and we would go down with him to visit family often. Aiken is stunningly gorgeous. In fact, South Carolina has, in abundance, what I think of as the most quintessential southern towns. The sweeping oak alleys, spanish moss, dirt roads, palm trees, ante-bellum architecture - restored, run down, or abandoned, shacks, lazy summers. I absolutely adore South Carolina.

When it comes to the South, I don't like to compare to other places because obviously there could be a lot of lack, but I try to focus on the things that it gets right and try to enjoy places for what they are. When I go south, most times, I'm trying to take things easy and unwind. And I can do that in South Carolina. I'm not going to South Carolina for nightlife, but to hunt, to fish, to lounge around, and just be present.

I've always said, if I ever decided to retire in the south, out of all the places, South Carolina is on the top of the list. Places like where my family is from, in Aiken, and other places like Charleston, Georgetown, Mount Pleasant, Edisto, Clemson, are bar none some of the most charming towns in all of the south. The history and culture are icing on the cake for me.

Yep.. hence the name "tar heels". NC used to only be known for the fact that it was sequestered between the aristocratic kingdoms of Virgina and South Carolina.

Where are those pics from? That’s beautiful.


SC & NC are dope to me. Spent some time in SC for boot camp in the Marines, and I did some training in NC & my last duty station was there. I wouldn’t mind living in either state tbh.

I like how low key SC is, and the scenery is nice there. NC probably has more opportunities & I fukk with auto racing & I know it’s huge there.
