I don't think the bad driving is just a problem in Charleston -- people just don't follow the rules of the road...they make them up to suit them.

Most are timed when traffic is present.

Funny how different people think. I actually wish there were more sensors at the lights so that they would change quicker during off-traffic times.

Yeah they don't seem to like sensors here in the Low country. .

I will always speak highly of Charleston. It will be sad going back to Wisconsin to retire, this place has really got under my skin. I was back in Wisconsin for 1 week this last summer and the people are so rude. Not even a "Thank-You" when you purchase something. Charleston allows you to be a better person, you are the odd one here if you are rude. I will always call this my "second home". Charleston is far from "backward" as you say. I would say it is "forward thinking" by the way everyone gets along so well. I suggest you look at your own attitude towards the people here in Charleston.

Its a shame you can't retire in Charleston vs Wisconsin.

Once I get all my business in order back in Wisconsin, I am hoping to buy a house in James Island. Still have a home to sell and many items to get rid of in Wisconsin before I could relocate back here.

Hey, I'm from Western Pa and have relocated to Eastern PA.......I've visited Charleston and the surrounding areas many times. My opinion is that you simply can't beat the people in the South! I love listening to the children and their "yes maammmm" and "no sir".....also meeting the true gentlemen of the South. I honestly feel honored to talk to these older gentlemen that are willing to share their history etc......
I sincerely can't wait to relocate to this wonderful area. God certainly blessed Charleston.
