15 Things You Know To Be True If You're From Red Bank, South Carolina
SCIway

Only people from small, country towns know the true essence of the small town vibe. Limited activities, farmland, mudding, and camouflage make a small southern town noticeable. But what makes Red Bank, South Carolina famous and extremely noticeable? Is it the lack of things to do, the possible bombing, or the murderer of the Charleston Nine? Here are some things that only people from Red Bank and towns alike know about small, southern towns:

1. A small town isn't truly on the map until it has an auto part store.

Well, Red Bank has 4 and counting. Every time they start building something, the residents get excited and it just turns out it's yet another auto parts store. Why can't Red Bank just get a Chick Fil A or some decent sit-down restaurant?

2. Rebel flags and deer emblems are on everything

trucks, clothes, tattoos, and more. If you don't know someone with most of these things, are you even truly from here?

3. No town is complete without a Walmart!

We've got that at least.

4. Want to go to a sit-down restaurant?

Take a pick: San Jose or the other generic Mexican restaurant. That's about it. Oh, and a Highway 55 which is decent.

5. You have to drive 30 minutes if you want to go anywhere or do anything productive.

6. You'll never run out of gas though!

There's a gas station on every corner.

7. Trucks are the most popular automobile of the little town.

They’re all decked out: spray painted, lifted, camo, you name it. (lol, sometimes all three)

8. We have our own town animal

Abraham the Camel.

9. Need a trusty steed?

Visit the local donkey farm for more information on how to buy a Red Bank donkey.

10. We've had a terrible kidnapping and murder that was right across the street from where White Knoll is currently at in 1985.

Sherri Smith was kidnapped and killed right in front of where White Knoll is at.

11. Harvest Fest

Our little version of a fair. It's so tiny and even has tilt-a-whirls. It's located at the main church in front of the high school.

12. Nothing ever normal happens in Red Bank, South Carolina.

How one randomly picks White Knoll out of a phone book to bomb, we'll never know...

13. There’s always that one park that floods intensely.

People took canoes out there one time.

14. The Lexington and White Knoll High school rivalry is real.

The school went on lockdown because there was a rumor of a Lexington student threatening to stab students at the pep rally.

15. Oh, and one of our own committed a hate crime.

Dylann Roof? Yeah, he attended our school sadly.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
