      Mostly true. I live in SC and work in Charlotte. The roads around Charlotte are a mess. Some bad roads and lots of construction. SC finally raised the gas tax a little, which hasn't been raised since 1986. I'm not a fan of tax increases, but this one was necessary. We are now getting some roads fixed.

While we would do things on occasion in MB, the vibe is sooo much better, more laid back in NMB. I still go there and take my kids now. We avoid MOST of the tourist-y stuff in MB proper.

Why do businesses close at 6pm on Sunday? Why can't we buy liquor on Sunday? Why is it so hot and humid here? Why does the state shut down if we get snow and/or ice? My question to them is, why didn't they do research before they moved here? Google is your friend.

      South Carolina declared war on the United States thereby starting the Civil War. I was born at Fort Jackson(Columbia) SC, raised in NC where my ancestors settled since 1680. I grew up in the foothills of NC. I went to college in Greensboro NC. Lived in Charlotte NC, Myrtle Beach SC, Waxhaw NC, and now in Rock Hill SC. My son lives in Asheville NC, which is a wonderful area but the cost of living in unbelievable bad. I think NC is better because it is more diverse.

Include 3 regiments of black Americans (the 1, 2nd and 3rd NC Volunteer Infantries) Also, NC lost had the highest death toll of soldiers during the war (at least, that is what NC says ;-) NC has the Devil's Tramping Ground and is the birthplace of the amazing Nina Simone, Thelonious Monk and Earl Scruggs....and Michael Jordan.

    I’m from North Carolina, I have to admit our neighbors to the South have some interesting history, and frankly Charleston is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve been to. I also think they’ve managed to retain their culture a little better than N.C. You really have to go into the sticks here to see some down home North Carolina life. With that being said, you have bigger cities in North Carolina, with major national events, high end shopping, sporting events, restaurants, etc. Both states compliment eachother well, and while I don’t mind paying a little more for gas to have nice roads, I’ll always get me some South Carolina gas when I go to Carowinds (only amusement park to be in two states), or to see my granny in York County.

    I do agree that North Carolina is urbaner than South Carolina. Most of the cities in NC are centered in the Western/ Central part of the state which makes it easier to travel from one city to another in about 90 minutes. For example, Greensboro to Charlotte is approx 70 miles while Greensboro to Raleigh is approx the same. This is mainly because of NC's Interstate corridor systems like I 40, I 85, and I 77.

    Charlotte is the biggest city because it consumed it's county in the 1990 and 2000's before the NC state government made that illegal. Raleigh boomed 10 years after but with the new law much of the growth was seen in bedroom communities in the suburbs of Raleigh which are other cities because Raleigh is not allowed to expand without permission. Wake County (Raleigh) and Meck County (Charlotte) have almost the exact population of 1 million.
    If you google map the cities in North Carolina you can see how weird the border are with lots of exclaves because of the law.

You really only have two seasons in Fl hurricane season & love bug season. No need to worry about cold weather because it’s hot & humid ALL YEAR LONG!!! Don’t get me wrong it’s hot & humid here in NC but but it cools off at night and there is a winter season here. My was able to see snow for her first time this year.

      Pretty close to true. NC is definitely upper south. SC is really its own special kind of south, especially the Low Country. In fact, I would go so far as to say that every part of the South (except Texas and Louisiana) is basically on a spectrum of Charleston Appalachia culturally. Some parts of the south are like 80% Appalachia and 20% Charleston, other parts are like 50-50, and all of the cultures in the South are basically some percentage of each. Deep South would be like 50% Appalachia, 50% Charleston. Upper South ranges from 0-10% Charleston, and 90-100% Appalachia. Low Country is 100% Charleston.
