So Oklahoma (where the wind comes sweeping down the plain) is scratched off Places to See Before you Die along with Indiana. the only reason to go to South Carolina would be to stare at the natives and see Charleston.



eta: I've never been to Charleston but hear it's gorgeous and charming. But it also has that good ol' southern cry "War of Northern aggression" bullshit wrapped up in it's consciousness. I've been to many Southern cities and the only good one is NOLA and I think that's because it was such a hot mess of different peoples to begin with--French, Spanish, Cuban, Dominicans, Haitians, African Americans who passed due to all the inter, um, loving (raping?) having quadroons, octoroons, a true port city rich with pirates and whores. now that's what I like in a city. A bit humid; you want to wilt even in Feb. but a nice mix of all kinds of folks getting along (usually) with one another and a wicked corrupt police force.
