I can't judge though. I've never driven through the city or downtown Sumter before, but from what I've heard it surprises me a bit that it made such a list.

Sumter does have a fairly nice downtown for a City of its size. Crime and unemployment often dominate Sumter headlines though they have landed a few major industries like Cooper Tires... its still the best city in Sumter County...though..LOL.. not sure where it stacks up statewide..

Very cool. And of course they just recently got Continental. Not doing bad as far as the tire industry goes.

I was born there. We left when I was four. That was enough time for me to influence it in a positive way. It's just now getting some accolades for that. Seriously, I plan to drive over there soon and spend some time downtown. And Swan Lake is a treasure.

Not at all, talk about stupid. No wonder Obama won the election again, there are so many stupid people in the world. And I'm sorry if the truth hurts.
Actually, I just wanted to know what people thought, which differs from fact considering more people voted for Columbia than Greenville and Charleston.

That means that Columbia has more people posting on this thread.

You created a poll with no set parameters and don't like the results. Folks are not dumb. It was a dumb question. It depends on the timeframe and geography as to what area/city is growing the fastest. And, even at that, the three areas are so similar in a number of ways, it does not matter.

At this point in time, of these three metros, Charleston is growing the fastest and does not show any signs of letting down in the next couple if years. For a different period, Columbia was the fastest growing.

Well it doesn't look like a lot of people agree with you.

happyandy, the OP is interested in un-scientific, biased, simpleton polls rather than statistics involving gross and percentage growth of an area. Deal with it (haha)

You are right. I think the OP wanted to see a certain result which did not happen and thus called everyone dumb. Oh well, it is the Internet, logic is not required.
