south carolina?

[emchy]

i have a pal who recently moved to south carolina so she could be near her son. she's in her late 20s, loves punk, rockabilly, tom waits, etc. and she is starting to lose it a bit as she is only finding in her words "racist rednecks" that make the fucked up town in michigan where we grew up look as cosmopolitan as SF or the east village.

so to my friends who have lived and travelled all over - where in south carolina do our sorts of people tend to ramble around?
any recommendations will likely act as a life preserver.

danke for any help you can give.

and nope - i don't know which part of SC she is in except that she's near the coast.

I fled fast and far from SC for basically that reason and more, and have not been back since 1980, so I'm afraid I'm not much use in terms of where and who is nifty there now. All I can offer is sympathy.

Do post if she finds anyone worthwhile there - it's nice to be surprised every so often.
