Some good news

Seems like it's been nothing but bad news and serious stuff today. Allow me to post some good news:

It hit 94 here in Atlanta today!!! The hotter the better, IMO. Keep it coming

 

[BillyL]

The better news is, in Reston at the moment it is 76 degrees w/ 40% humidity and a 9 mph breeze . .

Might open a window or two . .

Respectfully disagree: Beaufort, SC

Beaufort has the water though which can create a breeze. Columbia is stagnant and brutal. It would be a nice city if not for the heat and the out of control NAACP presence there.

 

[Blue2010]

Probably so. I just remember my one experience in Beaufort was a week during August...it was around 100 degrees with 60% humidity every single day I was there. The two times it rained were like a hurricane blew through...and only made it more humid.

Coming from someone who LOVES the heat...that was brutal.

I also love the heat, but Columbia is pretty rough.

Note to self: You'll probably melt if you go to South Carolina - stay away!

The SC coast is very, very pleasant. For my money, the beaches there are nicer than NC beaches (blasphemy I know). But once you get inland, it's fuggin hot. Especially Columbia. It's like a valley of trapped heat that you can't escape.

I've always thought SC beaches are better. The sand is smaller granuals and the beach area is wider and provides both soft and hard sand. But the ocean waters on NC beaches are better because it's bluer and a more refreshing temperature in the summer time.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Yesterday was hot and sunny with barely any clouds. Today it's pouring and lightning err'where.

Fayetteville, N.C. and Columbia,S.C are two places you don't want to be in the summer, and to be honest, any other time of the year.

 

[UNC71-00]

SC has better beaches than NC but only because SC has the best beaches in the US.

Most accurate poast in the history of OOTB

What's so bad about Fayetteville? Never been, but everyone I know says stay away.

Gotcha. No wonder when I visit Sampson County nobody wants to go with me to the mall(s) in Fayettenam.

It's not all bad. They have a bunch of strip clubs. Or at least, they used to. Banks too. Banks and strip clubs. That's what I remember about Fayetteville. Other than that, it's pretty grimy.

The strip clubs aren't grimy?

Yeah, I got drafted in 1970 and spent 2 1/2 wonderful months there...lol

I wouldn't go into a Fayetteville strip club unless wearing a full Hazmat suit

I always remember seeing the board outside one of the clubs in Jacksonville advertising that they have dancers starting at 10 a.m. daily. I bet those are the really classy ladies.

dude...i can't go there at all, ever...lived at and or visited both, and nc is hands down better.

the grand strand alone is disgusting and the color is wrong.

fayettnam does suck though...hay street was notoriously bad back in the day...it made jacksonville seem pleasant.

I don't care about the Grand Strand, but Litchfield south to Hilton Head is perfect. As far as NC beaches, they are fine, but just don't have the width that the SC beaches do. Plus, the coolest beaches in NC (OBX) are not good for swimming at all.

Plus, given that you live in Columbia, you decision making ability in assessing locations is suspect.

If u like drunk military, strippers, and pawn shops then its your place.

I lived in myrtle beach for two years. God what a shyt hole. Stand in line to get groceries, stand in line to get gas, cant turn left, harley bike week, followed by black bike week, spring breakers, puke on the sidewalks and in the bathrooms, overpriced clothing, tacky beach shops, stand in line to eat no matter how crappy the restaurant, hot 15 year old drunk girls roving in herds looking to hook up (yea thats a bad thing when you're 27) horrible surf and cops with really really bad attitudes

 

[heelmanwilm]

Yes obx is amazing! Ocracoke is a must see. But yea the surf will kick your ass! I about drowned as a kid. Luckily i was a strong swimmer and was able to swim out of a rip current. The whole time my mom is running up the beach waving me to come in to go eat

So let me get this straight. You decided to move to a well known tourist hot-spot and there was a lot of tourist crap to put up with? Thanks for the heads up.

All of that is accurate.
