Hi everyone. I have the same question! We recently moved here from Charleston...I know. I know. My husband had a job opportunity we couldn't pass up. Living in Carolina Forest and have a small child. Any recommendations/insight/suggestions you locals can offer me? I know nothing of the area. Thank you!
Take it from me - a new arrival though not new to the fabulous Grand Strand - time will fly by!
Thanks for the kudos but I must say, I take my cues from PawleysDude!! He's the man, as they say And Neecewh has terrific posts all though this wonderful forum. Read everything you can here -- you will learn so much to help you in your move. Wishing you the best.

LOL! Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... I have it on good authority when Hillary wins in 2016, SC will once again secede and appoint The Donald and Palin as King & Queen. Ms Nikki will be our new Duchess of Roads. Who could ask for anything more?
Priceless...
On another note, I re-read some of the most recent comments and I have this observation. Life is too short to get our panties in a twist. Hubby had a stroke 3 weeks ago, one week after his 68th birthday, brought on in part because of a very grueling, stressful move in June. He was lucky - it was mild and he is recovering quickly.
However, it made me realize that life is just too darned short to get upset about things I cannot change.
Enjoy each minute you have and if you are not happy here, then leave and find your own piece of paradise.

Thanks, goldentraveler. Feel free to jump in on the fun anytime!

Now, PD, you know I love you, but you had a type-o in your post. I know you meant to say when Bernie wins. In this neighborhood it is Grand Strand for Bernie! It's ok. Those dang type-os can happen to anyone.

So true, shabbycasa. I hope your hubby has a speedy recovery!

Welcome. I have never been to Charleston, but if what I hear is true that might be quite an adjustment for you. What specifically are you looking for suggestions/recommendations on?

Yea - another Feel the Bern supporter! I luv Bernie...c'mon PD, get on the Bernwagon! (This should start some trouble )
Thank you Neecewh! Yes, it's an adjustment. Trying to get a feel for this area from locals. How is it in the winter months? Any less touristy beach spots or places that are popular? Areas to avoid? I read the comments on here and it scares me! People seem so down on this area.
