The scenery you’re describing is tarnished in the areas surrounding Clemson by the seemingly endless amounts of trailers. Not to mention the trash strewn about as you drive everywhere. You have to leave the area before you get to civilization and leave the hillbilly bumpkins behind.

This is documented fact.

It's nestled between glorious bastions of enlightenment such as Seneca, Anderson, Pickens,and Central.

All of these towns are abundant with trailer parks, and meth. Lots of men named Brandon with lifted Doge Ram's flying confederate flags in the back.

If there was no university in the area there would be literally nothing there.

Clemson folks are coming after Coach O for being a back water hick, yet they've never considered where their University exist.

I'm also entitled to say this as I've paid tuition the University before.

Upstate South Carolina is full of red necks and don't even realize it. Yet Coach O is the hick?


What can you do in Baton Rouge that you can't do in Clemson.

can't beat Clemson if you like getting outside.

it is next to a lake and its own golf course and 14,500 acre experimental / recreational forest with bike trails, near blue ridge, waterfalls, one of best whitewater rivers in country, and 40 minutes to the best downtown in America, Greenville SC.

it has a great fitness center with basketball, racquetball, pool etc.

Clemson students basically own the town which is a cool experience.

baton rouge's scenery is so vanilla and depressing

It's like you can't read or something.

I don't live in Baton Rouge.

Lake Hartwell is a dirty piece of shite, Lake Keowee has nice lake houses, but is also a dirty piece of shite and acts a cooling pond for a nuclear reactor. Hardly a great place to be.

I've spent hours upon hours on these lakes, my experience is first hand.

Greenville is also shitty. Woodruff Rd is the 7th level of hell.

What do you mean? Polluted?

I read Keowee is not lowered during the winter.

The area surrounding Clemson is such a desirable place to live - & so many people want to move here & retire here - that real estate has become the main driver of the local economy. Kind of like Asheville, N.C., or Boulder, Colorado. Not many people live in trailers at all - if you visited here you'd be impressed that it's pretty upper middle class. And it's growing like crazy nowadays.

Clemson is a less developed version of College Station.

Don't they release nuclear waste into that lake? Disgusting. Also u would want to travel outside of baton rouge to do outside activities such a fishing or hunting. Baton Rouge has tons more nightlife than Clemson they have like 3 bars tops?

It’s true that the north side of Baton Rouge is like the south side of Chicago. Though St. George just outside Baton Rouge has not had any shooting deaths this year.

I don't claim Conway to be more than what it is: an old and historic Southern town near the beach. Some people like it, some drive right through it without blinking.

BR is a stinking ghetto, right up the road from another, bigger, below-sea level, stinking ghetto full of hookers and trash. Your whole state is a steaming shite pile. Outside of New Orleans you’ve got a prison, casinos and Shreveport.

Nobody can read, or even deduce that 864 is an area code in which I live.

However traveling to Baton Rouge is one the most pleasant things I get to do.

Spartanburg is a great place to live. Greer, Duncan, Boiling Springs are booming residential areas. Converse Heights is the Pinnacle of old money. I believe Spartanburg has the most Millionaires in the state.

Just stay away from the area around the Beacon and everything is fine.

With that said the Upstate is a hick area, that thinks it's better than it is because BMW and its economic impact.

Louisiana is one of the most unique places in this country. In a nation full of bland strip malls and subdivisions, you should appreciate a place that, despite its problems, is still distinct and separate from the soullessness of modern American culture.
