Hey, Lover, I was born in Greenville and my family is spread out up there from Easley to Spartanburg. (way too much orange up there for me) Great news on your girl and her career.

Lynch I was secretly hoping the same thing! We really want to move to the Carolinas and my son said he would have no problem with it. But the company she interned for last summer here in NJ offered her a job. We will have to see what the future brings. In the meantime I will live vicariously through this forum LOL

The last time ESPN Gameday was at Carolina, the group could not say enough positive things about the historic horseshoe.
GSP I agree about the horseshoe. When we first went on the college tour and walked out of the admissions building onto the horseshoe I was so taken with how beautiful and tranquil it was. We did a last walk around it before we left.

Hey Barb, Im happy you all liked it down here; it seems to be so many (on this forum) that are either unhappy with this area and lifestyle or delusional about it. Good luck ! Oh, did I forget to say it gets a little muggy down here ?
