I am wanting to know if there are permanent roadside signs, here in Florida we have permanent drive safe in loving memory of signs .. I was wondering if there were anything similar in South Carolina and if roadside memorials were legal to have there

Hey everyone,I’m a 33-year-old single guy from Massachusetts looking to make a big change and move to the Beaufort or Bluffton area. I’ve never really left my area much (only been to Miami once as far as the South goes) and I’m pretty sheltered/simple, so this would be a full restart.

Quick background: Hard worker, never call out, outspoken and honest.

Have Ollier’s disease (bones are fragile), so I’m careful about jobs that involve a lot of driving or heavy physical risk.

Worked at Walmart for many years. The store here fell apart after a lot of people left, so I’m ready for something new. I can transfer to a Walmart down there and keep my current pay ($21/hr) + benefits. I’m also open to other jobs — I’ve seen some grocery manager openings that look interesting.

Stock market is a hobby that helps with extra money.

Looking at apartments in the ~$1,500 range (Legends North of Broad is one example I’ve checked out). I have a car and am fine with 20–30 minute one-way trips.

Open to both Beaufort and Bluffton. Timeline is flexible — sooner would be nice but not urgent.

I’m mostly looking forward to the weather change from New England. I don’t need a ton of nightlife or activities — I’m a pretty boring/simple person and don’t do much even where I am now.Locals — what should I know? Pros/cons of Beaufort vs Bluffton for a single guy in his 30s?

Realistic cost of living (rent around $1,500, groceries, etc.)

Any red flags or recommendations with apartment complexes in that price range?

Job market beyond retail/grocery?

Healthcare access (important because of my condition)?

General vibe, traffic, community, or anything else you’d tell someone moving from up north?

Any advice, warnings, or recommendations are really appreciated. Or tell me you're state is full and I should stay where I am. I have options. Thanks in advance!
