Thanks! Nice doggy.

Now I have an entirely different view of Simpsonville. I had no idea it was so rural. Everyone keeps talking about how crowded it's getting and your pictures make it look like a deserted ghost town.

What's that white stuff on the ground?

Most of the pictures on the front looks to be in the rural part of the county and outside of the city limits. Also we literally shut down in the south when it snows. I ask the poster to post some pics of Simpsonville during regular hours and a regular day and you will see differently. Its a nice place to live. Their(the city) website says that Simpsonville has the 2nd highest income per capita in the state behind Mauldin which is 1st.

yeah it is a little crowded on fairview road but other then that it is not bad around here at all. But it has grown a lot from over the past 10 years but it is just mostly on that one road. It is not really all that bad the worse part of the road is in between walmart and the bridge. And there is still a lot of rual places in simpsonville heck we still got cows in the middle of down town lol..

Yikes. As long as they get out of the way! NH had more cars than people many years ago! Maine was like that too. Coming from the Boston area, I really enjoyed taking a trip to the mountains, but it seemed a little too quiet for me back then. I'm a lot older now, so if I have high speed internet and satellite TV & some books, I don't need much more.

lol yup they are the ones I would be talking about.

I just don't think it is that busy here. At some times of the day it can be a little busy but nothing bad. I live in simpsonville and go on fairview rd everyday. It for sure is a lot more busy then it use to be. I remember when that entire area was just about all cows, and it was not really that long ago that it was like that. But I don't mind the growth I hope it keeps going.

Looking forward to see what main street is going to look like when they get finished with that. But I hear they are going to take it from 4 lanes in too two lanes. Now I do think that is crazy if they are going to do that. Just cause not enough room on that road now.

But it would be nice if they could put more sidewalks around. But other then that I love simpsonville and im sure this is the place I will live for the rest of my life.

How did I do this? I thought I wrote.."NH had more COWS than people" Otherwise my statement doesn't make any sense. My brain said one thing and my fingers said another!
