I'm new in SC (Greenville)

[DemoTex]

Be gentle. We will be in our downtown condo in two weeks (we are promised after six weeks of lies). It is a great location. It augments the mountain house perfectly.

However, my wife (Dr. DemoTex) grew up in G-ville. Her family is here .. yikes!

1. Welcome to the neighaborhood...

I hope you brought plenty of Fundy-OFF spray.
I dont know, maybe its not that bad here, I just don't talk to anyone.

2. Welcome to the state!

Now don't waste time and get involved in Greenville County's Democratic Party. I know Greenville is probably one of the most conservative or Republican parts of the state but that all the better so the most little thing you do or speak out about will makes ripples and be heard in all of the county probably.

and I believe the Progressive Network has meetings up there

Since you are from Texas you're probably too familiar with the kind of RW crap that is everywhere around here. If you get depressed about living in Greenville just visit Spartanburg to make you feel better.
Well, the mixed drinks are strong and the mountains are close so ignore the yokels and have fun!

5. Hey Tex, welcome! I didn't realize you were going to have two places;

thought you were going to be fully a North Carolinian. Good luck in Greenville. There are a lot of nice people there and some liberals if you look hard. About all I can recommend about the town is the Mexican restaurant downtown, Cantinflas. Good luck to you and Dr DemoTex!

You are SLAP in the buckle of the bible belt dearie ... but take heart.... there are a few of us around, and we are growing in numbers, that is of course until the fundies mass exodus here in order to create that religious republic they want to secede from the union... HA ! (it's been in the news, really).

Welcome !!!

8. Welcome to SC

I suggest you follow SCDem's advise and check out the local SC Progressive Network. I am a member of the Columbia (or Midlands) chapter. They do great work in this state.

Check out the Carolina Peace Resource Center, too. Their website is http://www.carolinapeace.org/

There are more liberals and progressives in SC than you would imagine.
