moving?

A couple of people I know are probably moving to Charlston, SC, in September. They've asked if I'd be interested in going with.

Does anybody know anything about the area? Other than the fact there are NO Borders in the entire state (what's up with that? That's on the con list.) or Tower Records, Virgin Megastore. Does this mean I will have to work at Barnes & Noble if I do this? Ick, ties.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
