Hey folks: third time is the charm as they say. My roommate and I will be getting a table for team trivia tonight at local motive. We will get there early to ensure that we can get a table. Aim to be there at 645 if possible at latest. I talked with a bar manager on the phone if anybody would like to join us and have a social meet up, y’all are more than welcome to join. I will write in comments on this post where to look for us. I am sorry that previous meet up attempts did not work.

I work at a local mattress store here in Florence, and I thought I’d offer something that might actually be useful to people in the area.

If you're wondering about mattress sizes, different types of mattresses, firmness, pricing, roll-up mattresses, box springs, or what might be a good fit for you, feel free to ask!

You don't have to be shopping right now either. If you've ever had a mattress question and didn't know who to ask, drop it below. I'll do my best to give you an honest answer.

Full disclosure: I work for a Mattress store, so obviously mattresses are what I do— but I'm happy to answer questions whether you're buying soon or just trying to learn more.

What mattress question have you always wanted to ask?

Driving from DC to FL, stopping in Florence for a night. Need some bargain shopping recs!

hey guys!

Im moving from Australia in September and im so lost on what apartment to get.. ive been looking at Cambridge, Reserve at Mill Creek and some other ones but needing advice!

Hey everyone, my fiancée and I will be moving to Florence pretty soon. We were wondering if anyone has any experience with South Parker Commons, or had any suggestions for other affordable apartments? Thanks in advance!

“Where do I go to make friends?”

I see a form of this question asked consistently in this subreddit. Let’s brainstorm how we can put together a resource for folks looking to find their people ↓

For context I’m a medical salesperson and I pass through a few times a month. I’m looking for a bar that is a good place to meet people mid week, thx ☺️

Is there is a DSA chapter in Florence? If not, would anyone here be interested in joining one?

Edit: they don’t have any tables available and I was not aware that it would be so crowded. My apologies folks. I will try to find another night at another bar. They said the weight would be more than half an hour well past the time, the game started a lot of people there are not even playing the game.

Hey folks. I made a new account. I was taking a social media break and stupidly just deleted my old Reddit. It was not until after the fact that I realized I couldn’t continue to try to get meet ups together if I wasn’t on Reddit. Lol. anyway if anybody would like to join my roommate and I for trivia tonight at seminar brewing at seven, we’d love to have anybody from the sub join us? No pressure if you are more introverted. We will have the team name “Flopossums” so feel free to join our table. (I do wildlife rehab volunteering so sorry for the animal theme.)

Both these places seem to have good reviews but they are all "members only" and look abandoned. What happens if I try to go in these places?

I've lived here literally my whole life, but I don't know how to make friends. I don't really feel like I fit with the "local aesthetic". Where do the weirdos hang out? The tattooed people? Dark humor? Sarcasm? Where are my people!

Driving through town in a bit and wondering the best option to pick up some bbq. Thanks!

I was born here, but my dad's work took us out of state for most of my life. Since my extended family members are all from this area (Florence, Darlington, and Lake City), we still visit often. I'm currently living here because I felt both professionally and socially deadlocked in the part of Virginia that I had been living in for the past few years. I also have access to family-owned housing in Florence, providing another incentive.

Any tips for jobs? I started as a water treatment operator in Virginia over the past year and got my Class IV license back in December. I also have a B.S. in Biology (some retail and substitute teaching experience here and there). I applied for the apprentice/trainee operator position here and called Human Resources about a week ago to express my interest in the role.

If something adjacent to that doesn't work out, I am interested in pursuing healthcare roles such as a lab technician, but I'm aware that would require more certifications. I am cautiously open to teaching, but I doubt that would be a good fit since I didn't have much patience for students while I was a substitute teacher.

Hey people of Florence, SC! Me and my family are taking a trip to the city of Flo-town in the next week. So far we are going to the Spirit Halloween because of my baby. He’s obsessed with Halloween and possibly the Yogi-Bear diner with a very unlikely trip to Chuck E. Cheese. Are there any other places we should visit that are cheap or completely free? Thanks for all advice and any advice given!
