There are actually still lots of places like this in South Carolina - the question is how important is it for you to be closer than like an hour away from a Wal-Mart or a restaurant other than Hardees and the "House of Pizza"?

The house of pizza!!! A small family run country cookin' place would be great, but those are not hard to find down here!

And about being close to a Wal-Mart- I just did a search and there are Wal-Marts in Greenwood, Camden, and Newberry, and the one in Greenwood is a short drive to Abbeville.

Oh and about schools... I'm going to put my kids (which I do not have now, but we definatly are planning!) in a private school or Christian school. Anybody now any good ones in the following towns?

-Greenwood
-Abbeville
-Camden
-Newberry

The four you list all have private and Christian schools. Google the city and Christian schools and you will see the list. I am not familiar with the schools.

I recommend Aiken or North Augusta for the OP. Also, the closer you are to the coast... the more yankees.

If you are looking at either of those places, then I would recommend Edgefield first, at least to the original poster.

Despite areas that are attracting more transplants on average, South Carolina is still overwhelmingly a very Southern state. With very few exceptions, practically any town in this state of 20,000 will be suitable for the OP, especially an inland town.

The Upstate and Midlands would beg to differ with this.
