It’s the perpetual question. Which is better: North or South Carolina? It’s the burning question that keeps many a Southerner awake at night, pecking at their minds and racking their brains as they desperately try to choose between these states divided by little more than a line. How should you choose? Which has the better eateries, museums, parks, neighborhoods and vacation spots? Can you decide? Should you decide? Well, I suppose that’s all up to you. South Carolina is a state that’s steeped in history and flowing with that distinctive charm and vibe that can only be found within the American South.
So what to do? Well, the only thing to do would be to hop in your vehicle and see South Carolina for yourself. There are few things better than a road trip through the South and South Carolina is more than accommodating. South Carolinians do plenty of driving themselves, as well with the average driver logging about 15,000 miles annually in the 3.6 million vehicles that are registered on the state’s roads. There are more than 2,000 dealerships throughout the state with cars for sale, many of which contribute to the $7.5 billion in new car sales, and help keep afloat the 138,630 auto industry jobs found there.
So hop in your car, drive around South Carolina. Maybe spend a weekend in Charleston at the Isle of Palms for a relaxing walk on the beach and a picturesque view. Or maybe spend some time at the gorgeous Battery Park on the bank of the Ashley River.
However you spend your time in South Carolina, just be sure that you don’t store your trash in your car. That’s against the law.
