Carolina. You are not the first person who has called it that, as per my internet searches. My husband may be offered a transfer to Florence which is east (I think) of Columbia- not too far away. Have you been there? I have seen pics of Florence and it looks...um....well sort of gross. The crime rate is supposed to be high and when I did the Google map-man walk downtown- I was a bit shocked that every store is either falling down, closed, or closing. If it is gross there, I was thinking maybe people commute to work in Florence? I thought maybe that would be from Darlington- but the stats show it has a high crime rate too! Is that whole part of S.Carolina gross or something? Thank you!Jacquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308493189519536619noreply@blogger.com
