May be looking at a possible move there? Anyone live there? How is it?
I live in Myrtle Beach SC
Not sure where Greer is.
MB is great in the summer time, lots of money to be maid.
what kind of work do you do?
I'm in Charlotte, NC...roughly 2 hrs north of Greer if I remember right.
It's a suburb town of Greenville.
Greenville itself isn't too bad (aside from Bob Jones University), it isn't the biggest city in the world, but there's plenty to do.
Greer however, is more or less that small southern town full of grumpy old people and minorities. Not a bad place, but wouldn't be my first choice to live either. But I really don't know the area extremely well...have passed through it enough, but rarely stopped for more than just to get gas.

Why the hell would you voluntarily move there?
If you move anywhere near Greenville you're automatically allowed to beat your woman.Quote:

is there interesting stuff to do around there? or is it boring a shit? Also is it in the middle of no where or is there your typical big malls, best buys, etc around? how is it down there for racing, and the LS1 building market
There's a couple malls in Greenville, as well as your usual shopping center setups. It's not a dead town. No drag strip though, closest 1/8th mi is probably Rockingham. 1/4 mi is either Charlotte or Atlanta. Not sure about speed shops, got a few friends down there but none are car people. 3 or 4 decent F-body/vette shops 2 hrs up the road here in Charlotte though.Quote:

i have a house in clemson and simpsonville,and he is right as rain about the cops..http://www.ls1.com/forums/images/smilies/ar.gif... my office is in greer. and that town is pretty dead. taxes are low for property. but you would be close enough to many other towns like everyone else has said. simpsonville use be the #1 growing city in the country at one time. good priced homes in greer. nice and quiet most of it. where in simpsonville do you live... i don't see a whole ton of us around. if you been here long you know we went threw a big ricer deal around, but don't see much of them around any more.Quote:

The funny thing about Greenville is it's the only town where nobody is ever from, everyone you meet is from somewhere else. I've lived here 11 years now and it has really blown up, back in 97 nothing was open after 9 at night and Woodruff Rd was the country.Quote:

Unfortunately I sold my Z28 after it was wrecked a few years back, I'm waiting on the New Camaro(ticked we couldn't sit in the one at the car show) but leaning towards the Cobalt SS since I have kids now.Quote:

I'm from and still live in Greenville, my wife is from Greer. Greer has the BMW plant of course. Greer actually has an 1/8th mile drag strip, named, oddly enough, Greer Dragway. Yes, they wear shoes and don't go around makin' moonshine. We left all that having sex with our sisters and stuff to the folks in Arkansas, Mississippi and Georgia. Best Buys, Malls and all that very near by. Also, there are these buildings where they show Moving Pictures on a big white wall, it's amazing. Lot's of car shops, if you're looking for an LS1 shop try Hawk's Third Gen (read the last few issues of GM High Tech and High Perf. Pontiac) in Easly, about 40 minutes from Greer. Last year or the year before, I don't recall, Greenville was the fastest growing city in America fwiw.

Its cool to find some LS1ers in the area. I was trying to find some people around here. I know one dude in Mauldin has a Special Edition. I basically live in Mauldin but have a Gville address. Should meet up with this weekend. I had a rough week and plan on having a few drinks.
well i thought the company was going to send me to SC but now they are talking kansas........i mean seriously ......i didnt even know how to react when they told me.
I would like your boss' job. Just get to point at a map and tell one of my employees that they have to move there, then I can change my mind the next day. :kick:
You'll probably stay right where you are. If you're single that is. The second you get a girlfriend/wife, you'll probably get sent to Fairbanks.Quote:
