I'm from Florence and you did a great job. The downtown area has changed drastically over the last 10 years. We also have a great library that you would be surprised to see in such a small town.

If the city/state would get their act together and built a high speed interstate to the beach (60 mi away), Florence could really boom. The 501 route path is already there. The city also needs to incorporate areas just outside the city. The boundary lines are insane...jutting in and out all over the place. Instead of its listed 40K, Florence really has an 80K population.

You are right! Florence could become a great city if it had better road access. Why in the world is there still not interstate from Florence to Myrtle Beach? Whoever heard of a vacation destination not having an interstate to it? Crazy! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!

Yes, the city of Florance has made a lot of changes! When you go, you must check out the new Buckee's that just opened in Florance at one of the exits off 95. It's the biggest roadside stop in the USA and are from Texas. We visited one in Florida, and it was spectacular!

I am actually thinking about moving to Florence, we like Myrtle Beach, but honestly don't think I would want to live there, more of a small town area kinda guy, looks like a nice place, we have driven through a couple of times, and Darlington is close by, I am a NASCAR fan also an automobile tech, I am looking for a place I can live and build old classic muscle cars.

We can see the appeal of Florance. Good location near 95, they have great healthcare there, and it has a nice downtown that is working to improve itself. We wish we lived closer so that we could explore the city more often. Plus...they are opening a Buc-ee's soon! Good luck with your search! Thanks for watching!
