Since I'm moving to Charleston from Montana in just a few days, I was curious to post a thread here to see if by chance anyone around here is in the Low Country. I'm returning home to South Carolina after a 6 year tour of the Western states. My family's in one of those scary little buckle of the Bible Belt inland towns, but I've determined Charleston area is the most livable of region of the state, as far as culture and quality of life goes. I've found a Reform Drug Laws organization and a Universalist Church, so I'm remaining optimistic about finding a group of peers there. Anyone have any friends down there? Are there any Rainbow Family there? Any full moon on the beach drum circles? NORMAL meetings? Is there a kind community beside college kids? Is there a new age book store? Where's the best smoke shop??? Where's the folk art community centered? how underground are they if they even exist? Where do the under-cover cool people hang out? These are all questions I plan to have answered in due time, any help would be aweseome! Cheers, Ellen

The underground art scene is HUGE......beyond what the paper can report....just check out the backside of some stripmalls...great art by the Sheepman......Ill let you know..... Under-cover cool people hangouts????? we cannot devulge that info here......
Awesome! I'm in Mount Pleasant. I was wandering where the smoke shop was. We've been kind of laying low, but found some hippies and such downtown and in a few select places of Mount Pleasant, pockets of really awesome folks and some really cool places I've found. My older sister was a hippy in downtown about 10 or 15 years ago, so I vaugely remeber some points of hipness in the area. I'm learning and finding my way around slowly.
