Liberty, South Carolina, population a little over 3,000. Although there may not be any huge shopping malls or centers and few restaurant choices, it is a prized town. There are however, many cow pastures and a very cute downtown. Liberty is a sweet, small town full of Southern hospitality. Here are 20 signs that you're from this town:
1. You have to drive at least 10-15 minutes to get to a fast food restaurant besides Hardee's. Easley, Pickens, or Clemson it is.
2. You have to drive at least 25 minutes to get to a mall. We all know that Haywood Mall is way better than the Anderson Mall.
3. You always said that you can't wait to get out of this town.
4. You know your neighbors by name.
5. You have driven highway 93 thousands of times. You can picture the whole ride now.
6. You attended Liberty schools, where you knew everyone. You could name every person in your graduating class and probably talked to every one of them at some point.
It may or may not have looked like this.
7. High school football games are town events. Popcorn and boiled peanuts are a must have at these games. You knew at least one player on the team, and probably their family as well.
We love these boys of fall.
8. Serious crimes are fairly rare, thankfully, and if there is one, everyone knows about it.
9. You know not to speed through downtown Liberty. You just know.
10. You also know all of the police hiding places to get you when you're speeding.
Seriously though, if you go one over they will get you. Moral of the story: don't speed through Liberty.
11. You know every back road, and they come in handy when you just want to take the long road home some days.
12. You have been to at least one Liberty Christmas parade.
13. Everyone seems to know everyone and everything about them, even if they don't know each other personally.
14. You know that the Ingles in Liberty runs out of bread and milk within 20 minutes of an announcement of possibility of snow.
15. You have been to Liberty Bell, Yank's Place, and Hot Diggity Dogs more times than you can count and you know half of their menu's by heart. You probably know their owners and employees by name too.
16. You can name all of the restaurants in town.
17. You know exactly what the speed limit is all throughout town.
18. When someone asks you where you are from, you have to say "near Clemson" or "near Easley" or "the upstate" because no one seems to know where Liberty is.
19. You could give someone directions around the whole town.
"Go straight for three miles then turn left at the four-way stop then go another two miles then turn right by the cow pasture."
20. When you go grocery shopping or out to eat, you see at least one person that you know.
Then you walk way out of your way to avoid said person.
