I'd rather pay $15 for vodka and drink half a bottle on my back porch than pay $65 for Brevival. Either way we're both getting drunk!

Hey at least we're all in great SC together enjoying 75 in February!

Mkay so let's see what we've got here ... some folks think that earthquakes in Summerville will be limited to Summerville and hurricanes in MP will be confined to MP. Because you know, these types of cataclysms are highly localized and stuff.

@rory: Where we live in MP it's a flood zone X, the least risk possible. From what I was told when we were looking for a home, very few pockets of MP are in high risk flood zones.

In general, whether folks joke or not, the OP has learned at least one thing about SOME people that live in this region, be they in Summerville, Mount Pleasant, or anywhere in between. Namely that many of them are full of petty sentiments of tribalism borne of nothing more than base fears, complexes, and insecurities, Thankfully these expressions are more prevalent on anonymous forums such as CD than in real life, because no one I have met in person to date anywhere in the region has voiced any such sentiments, be it because they just couldn't care less about where other people choose to make their home, or for fear of sounding small and petty.

So at least there's that ...

So you're saying that Mt P and downtown will both **** you up quick?

Haha our lines are below ground. One of the benefits of new neighborhoods.

And people, don't take this stuff too seriously! It's all in good fun!

PS - I do love MtP!

I grew up in a blue collar city west of Boston. There were several towns around us we used to rank on about being snobs, stuffed shirts, they are sissies, they think their feet do not smell, to good to talk to us, etc.

Most of us that did well enough as adults moved to those towns ASAP.....LOL

Social climbing was always one measure of success.

I was lucky enough to learn early in my work career that money doesn't buy happiness. From a distance, I can still see that with people I knew.

Luckily the beach is where we can all come together!
