I'm moving from Wisconsin (just south of milwaukee) to south Carolina (Beaufort sc/savannah ga area). Anyone have any input on what I'm in for?

Lived in Charleston for seven years. The winters are wonderfully mild.

The Good: Great food, beaches, nice locals, football

The Bad: humidity, sand gnats, football.

I'd say Beaufort Is a small town, there might not be too many gig opportunities or a great number of open minded people's. I find many South Carolinians are a touch myopic but that the southern hospitality shields you from it.

I would need more Info on you personally to elaborate. Age? Musical Taste?

Charleston was one of the best places I ever lived. The people are extremely friendly and I had a lot of great gigs there too. I would go back in a second if given the chance. Beaufort was a bit more backwoods than I like, but still a decent spot.

Clemson is a small town, that for the most part is just a university. It is close to Greenville, which is a nice place. Very clean. The university is a good one although as a U of SC fan I could make stupid jokes about how all dirt roads lead to Clemson, or I could call it Moo U because of its agricultural programs and being in the woods but I won't

Overall if I wasn't a college student I would not have any desire to live there. It does sit right next to a beautiful lake, which is nice as well. I am sure there are many nice locals and I even know a few but many of them are hicks who dislike education, free thinking and things of that nature.

As a new father it would be a good place to send your kids to college b/c they would get a nice education and be in a clean "safe" place.

Beaufort is growing quite fast, but is still a small town. There are far more "open minded" people than you realize.

There's a lot of military: Beaufort Air Station, Parris Island, Hunter Army Airfield (Savannah) and Ft. Stewart (Hinesville)

On the Savannah side, there's a whole lot of hipsters due to SCAD.

Greg Allman lives in Richmond Hill and Cliff Williams (AC/DC) had a house here while his daughter was at SCAD.

It's only $1.37 million if you're interested.
