See ya Chicago, we're Charleston bound

I've been talking to the baws in FBD threads about it for years, and it's finally happening. Girlfriend got her offer letter today (I work remote) and we're going to put Chicago in the rearview mirror. The people in charge who hate me, my tax money, and my law abiding ways can have it...build your progressive utopia.
She's starting at the end of January and will head out before me. I'm staying back for a bit to get the condo listed, get the movers figured, and pack everything up. I should be down there around the beginning of March.
Already a member of the Charleston Badgers group on Facebook, already researching fishing charters and golf courses, and potentially applying for an apartment tonight. Gonna stay downtown somewhere with a pool so we can enjoy the scene and culture our first year down there, make some friends, and get the lay of the land. Maybe purchase something in a few years when home prices bottom out.
I'm now a CofC hoops fan and Clemson football fan, but probably need to make some adjustments to my wardrobe. Already annoyed at all the OSU fans in town.
Charleston baws, anything I need to know about assimilating, let's hear it.
ETA: Chicken, I may need help changing my username to Chucktown_Badger

Congrats, baw.
Wait what?
Charleston is really high on my travel list. Only about a 6 hour drive.

Midwesterners pretty much outnumber native South Carolinians down here nowadays, so you should feel right at home.
ETA: Also vote red and we’re cool.

I left Chicago for the utopia of Memphis. I consider it a draw.

I can't wait to move to a utopia. If it weren't for family we'd leave now, I'd leave now anyway but the wife has strong bonds.

Plenty of homes around downtown for rent

Bless you baw and your loved ones. Takes courage to uproot.

Congrats? What part of Chicago are you leaving? Suburbs or Chicago proper?
Posted on 1/5/23 at 6:20 pm to Chucktown_Badger
All I read was that the girlfriend will be alone in Charleston in the month of February

When you and the misses are reunited, take her to the Chubby Fish for a nice meal. Charleston and the surrounding areas up and down the coast are great. Chubby Fish

Congrats on being warmer, wealthier, and safer. The south is the only place worth living in this country.

You need to come further south.

quote:Charleston has the carefree southern sophisticate ambiance New Orleans did at points in the past. King St is not Michigan Ave by any stretch, but it is charming, as is the city. The history here is phenomenal. Tons of local festivals. The water is a bit warmer than Lake Michigan's. Flanking island beaches to the north and south are remarkably quiet in off-seasons .

You're gonna need a bay boat with a t-top and a dodge ram.

Be ready to sniff your own farts. The smugness of folks in Charleston is off the charts.
