Florence - South Carolina - 4K Downtown Drive

[@laurenm3148]

6:40 This whole long stretch of N. Dargan looks like it has tons of empty storefronts back to back. Is that the case? This is a LOT of vacant property that looks like it was once bustling.

[@thenickvegas1268]

As a videographer I gotta tell you, GREAT video. I loved how you mounted the camera, kept it basic. No unneeded music bed, no dialogue. As someone who wants to relocate there, this video was invaluable. Great work.

[@danaposton3649]

It is a nice town to live in my opinion@TheNickVegas

[@TheIntuitiveWizard]

Did you ever relocate?

[@actormarkhopkins8576]

Working on it, it's complex. Thank you for asking.

[@JoeyHardy-mr7ez]

It looks like a great retirement place. I was born in Rock Hill and raised in New York. I'm looking for a nice quiet place to move back home to like this.

[@jole3799]

that's looks a very nice and quiet place for the people best city

Great video. Thank you for posting!

People in Florence don’t shop? I haven’t seen on shopping center or big box store.

Oh, look at you breezing through a red light! Hah 😂

Everything is so spread out in S Carolina. I used to live there. I had to drive at least 30/40 wherever I had to go.

[@djtwister6997]

That’s for most cities, luckily I live in Myrtle beach so things are pretty close together in this area

[@alcamerc9923]

Dreary little town. I wonder what people do to fight boredom. I know they have a race track. Other than that, I don’t know. And by the way, we caught every freaking red light.

[@terranceaddison4599]

Its nice to see not much changed...

[@e.williams13]

thanks for showing me where not to move

[@freekoffhisleash]

Grew up here and then was gone from 1989-2019. Unfortunately got sucked back into the black hole after 20+ years. Its not a terrible place, other than being terribly boring. Covid has made that much worse. Were it not for my parents and siblings being here, there is no way I would have come back.

[@GullahGeecheeFarmer]

We just moved back from vidalia Georgia. Rather be here than a town with a Walmart is the biggest thing and everything closed by 11 lol

Does Florence still have a pretty good 'southern' feel to it as far as its people?

[@scronx]

Love that question. Southernness is tragically doomed as people drink repeated rounds of the yankee kool-aid. Help us save the Arlington monument!

Is it racist?

[@danaposton3649]

I was born here, and so were my 3 children, all of whom are grown except 1,shhe will be 18 n 3years. I own a nice home here, and enjoy my quiet and well kept neighborhood. There is benefits living in Florence, we are just an hour from myrtle beach. I lived in Columbia for about 15 years, and moved back to Florence to take care of my mother, and I retired here. Although, I may decide to move again, if anything happens to the little bit of family I have left.....

[@ericlacewell337]

I lived on Darlington Street a nice house on the corner I wonder if you're going to pass it

[@ThomasAdsit]

I am driving down next month, looking at a 3.5 acre lot just outside of town, unzoned, want to open a auto shop next to a home I build, customisation and hot rods, like the location, close to the beach, and close to Darlington, as well as a couple of hours from Charleston.
