Columbia, South Carolina. A city that is below sea level that traps heat and stays in the 100s but is not close to water. There is also little intelligence and all trees in the hell hole were cut down and turned to pavement. The city is full of ghetto and trailer parks, most graduates of the lowly Univ of South Carolina that produces educations less than academic standards of most developed nations.
Is there anyway to get between the great towns of Greenville and Charleston with out having to drive through the armpit of the south?
