Charleston Again Proves It's Not Great Enough
Posted by Greg Hambrick on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 9:52 AM
This time it's Milken's List of Top-Performing Cities that has the nerve to put nine cities in front of our little slice of Southern-slathered heaven.
1. Provo-Orem, Utah (8)2. Raleigh-Cary, North Carolina (10)
3. Salt Lake City, Utah (18)
4. Austin-Round Rock, Texas (20)
5. Huntsville, Alabama (16)
6. Wilmington, North Carolina (2)
7. McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas (7)
8. Tacoma, Washington (50)
9. Olympia, Washington (37 in the 2007 ranking of small metros)
10. Charleston-North Charleston, South Carolina (12)
It's great to be noticed, but we really need to take a lead pipe to the knees of those folks in Raleigh and Wilmington if we want to move up in this race.
(Yes, we had to Google to make sure that Nancy Kerrigan was struck with a lead pipe. Hey, it wasn't yesterday.)

Maybe its because county tax bureaucrats stand on the docks at local marinas trying to collect their damned personal property tax from rich visitors in yachts who are spending incredible amounts of tourist dollars to support Charleston businesses and buy thousands of gallons of diesel. Tax bureaucrats are thereatening to confiscate their yachts if they don't hand over thousands in taxes for Federally registered yachts. The 'word' is spreading up and down the coast to bypass these bastards and their threats we've all been told, ourselves. Unfriendly? Yes!
