True. Many people from Michigan and Ohio have moved to this area of South Carolina. They tell us that there are no jobs there, and that they are having trouble selling their homes.

My Hubby is from Michigan, and his relatives still live there. They tell us about all the schools that are closing because the families have moved away. In our area of SC, it's the opposite. They can't build the schools fast enough. Each time a new one opens, they have to add trailer rooms, and then start building another one the next year.

Almost every week, our church has a new family visit from Michigan or Ohio. It's crazy.
