I'm from the UK and work in Rock Hill SC - I Have seen a lot worse places than this in the world. You Americans just need to grow up and realize that Guns are for the Police and the Army, not for leaving around your house for kids to shoot themselves or for nutcases to kill dozens at a time. If you want to go and shoot targets then keep your gun at a gun club, if you want to shoot animals join an organised hunt. There is no legitimate requirement to keep Lethal Weapons in your home or possession 24365. We learn't that already lol ;) Mind you it did take us 1000 years +. And as for this Racism S**t - you would not even have a USA if was not for the fact that it was built on the backs of millions of kidnapped Africans.

Rock Hill is a beautiful city south of Charlotte. The downtown area isn't crazy alive, but it is beautiful, and there a variety of shops and restaurants to pick from. The schools are great, as is the four year institution there, Winthrop University.
Favorite place is Amelie's, the French bakery. There's not much bad to be quite honest. There isn't as much to do as I would like, but there's always something.
