What a bitter, bitter old man. Old-style Low Country elitism at its worst - in fact, that sort of attitude hasn't been around since the Plantation days.
Go Fritz!
And don't come back.
There is a lot of Lowcountry elitism. Peope in Charleston think that they live in the center of the world. So, you have alot of bedwetters down there near the water, Charleston, College of Charelston etc. What has happened is that the Piedmont and the Upstate and Myrtle Beach are the growing areas. Charlotte has helped teh upsatte greatly. If you haven't noticed I can't stand people who always mention they are from teh Lowcountry. No one asked pal. It's lile New Yorkers saying they are from NYC all the time.
