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.
My mom live here and looks like a great city!! Im not from america but see all the things from another country looks awesome!! In some years im gonna meet my mom for the first time in this city and looks great :')
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.
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.....
What day of the week did you shoot this? Florence is usually busy with traffic. Seems odd to see lol. Edit: Looking at the date this was uploaded, there weren't lots of ppl out because of the pandemic. 🤦🏾♀️ I totally forgot lol.
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.
Wish I’d have known you were coming to Florence. I’da loved to take you on a tour of the countryside and showed you some old civil war places and farms
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.
@@TheQueenOfGreatness hey. I'm in Benson right now been thinking of moving to Florence. I have a high schooler starting this year what areas are nice for black single moms
No, not really unless you work out of town. But there are lots of jobs here. I would say you'd need a car, bus pass, or a Lyft though. Otherwise, you ain't getting far lol.
@@leonation89 a variety of jobs . We have two huge hospitals, MUSC and McLeod. We have tons of various businesses , anything from retail , hotel jobs, hospitality , major insurance agencies, many different schools , government jobs, construction, loan companies, car dealerships and so on. I guess it just depends on what your niche is.
Also we have two Walmarts a shopping mall with lots of retail stores, jewelry stores, Big brand businesses such as Target , Sam's club, Lowe's, Home Depot , Kohl's, Home Goods, Bed Bath and Beyond, lots of physical fitness businesses. The list goes on .....
Yep...near North Florence..shouldve drove pass Wilson high...stop at my aunts house..it absolutely sucked not having a car out there and having a broke ass family 😢 That was 10 years ago I'm good now though..

It is a nice town to live in my opinion@TheNickVegas
Did you ever relocate?
Working on it, it's complex. Thank you for asking.
My mom live here and looks like a great city!! Im not from america but see all the things from another country looks awesome!! In some years im gonna meet my mom for the first time in this city and looks great :')
I live there
Nice
I live here . Prayers that you meet your mom soon !!

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
Any family fun places to go?
yes, it is boring, it has always been a boring town...
Same with me
٠Boring village
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.
That’s for most cities, luckily I live in Myrtle beach so things are pretty close together in this area
Thanks for the video! Been years since I was last through there! Brings back a lot of great memories!👍
Great video. Thank you for posting!

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

It was a Sunday. The day before Labor Day.
I lived on Darlington Street a nice house on the corner I wonder if you're going to pass it
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.
My sister's cousin from the Maryland/D.C./Virginia lives up in Florence.
how they liking it?
Best restaurant in town? we’ll be driving thru on our way to Florida
People in Florence don’t shop? I haven’t seen on shopping center or big box store.
My home town.
I come from Germany but love this kind of american small towns. 5*
I come from an American small town and love Germany😂 Planning to move to Düsseldorf next year
Does Florence still have a pretty good 'southern' feel to it as far as its people?
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?
@@lu211 If your grandmother still lives there I would be happy to visit her on my journey.
@@lu211 Who cares?
yo! at the first part of the video you just ran a yellow light!?😧❗
Wish I’d have known you were coming to Florence. I’da loved to take you on a tour of the countryside and showed you some old civil war places and farms
Might head back through there later this year for the beach season on the way to Myrtle.
Absolutely the most crime part and oldest part of Florence I was born here I’m 46 should have filmed west side of Florence
Very nice
🙏
Almost at the end of the video I guess he doesn't pass Darlington Street unless I missed it

" You probably in the Wrong Lane !?"
So l guess they have to travel far to go to work?
No, not really unless you work out of town. But there are lots of jobs here. I would say you'd need a car, bus pass, or a Lyft though. Otherwise, you ain't getting far lol.
