moving to Fort Mill in droves. Fort Mill is getting to the point of traffic gridlock and there is almost zero real estate inventory available. Rock Hill is the next option, except there are already too many people that don't belong here already, and adding more goes a long way towards making me angrier than I normally am. So really, this pretty much leaves Chester, which you'll absolutely love. I promise.

A lot of bottle shots/tap houses overdo the sours, ciders and the fruit beers to bring in the non-beer crowd. Craft Stand is all about those IPAs and Imperial Stouts.

I go there all the time because it's in striking distance. The ribs are solid if you like big, fatty ribs. Brisket is okay. Haven't tried the pulled pork.

That plant is not only closed, but gone (completely), along with most other manufacturing. If you don't work at the SRP you're driving a long way to work.

metropolis of corporate developer neighborhoods and national restaurant chains in less than 20 years. They're even starting to generate some positive traction on traffic issues. Definitely a real up and comer. The dark secret that nobody wants to share is the fact that Indian Land is actually in Lancaster County, not York County.

Just curious, that's what I am, curious... How about the Chesterish along the Catawba river?
Is that dangerous, or doable, or really the bestest way to live? Cause I'm curious and just plain don't know any better. My dad was from Great Falls a long time ago.

and the traffic was fuggggin BRUTAL every day because of all the people who moved to Fort Mill from New York, New Jersey, and other Yankee locations and work in Charlotte. My 45 minute commute could be easily an hour and a half at least once a week. I would suggest the little hamlet known as Chester, SC which is just off I-77 a little south of Charlotte.

because nothing toughens up your 11 & 12 year olds like playing a team that arrives after their shift at the mill is over, driving their own trucks, and needing a shave. Pretty sure legal birth certificates in Union County are hand-written by youth baseball coaches.
