The famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, saw his shadow on February 2... which means 6 more weeks of WINTER! However, his cousins, groundhogs in at least four other states - West Virginia's French Creek Freddie, Georgia's Gen. Beauregard Lee, Ohio's Buckeye Chuck, and New York's Staten Island Chuck - did not see their shadows. If you live in the south, as I do, that could mean 6 MORE weeks of SPRING... which is the type of weather we have experienced lately.
I think having this much time with the possibility of yukky weather means finding fun things to do in your area. Here in Florence, SC shopping is always high on all the lists! Florence has much to offer to fulfill the desires of even the most die-hard of shoppers. The one drawing attention now is "Palmetto Peddler's Antique Mall" on Hoffmeyer Road in the old S&W building. There are over 175 vendors leasing space in various shapes and sizes to showcase their treasures, which range from original Art, brand new items, very old antiques, vintage collectibles, household goods, and even 'lovingly used' vinyl records, books, clothing, and baby things! Indoor and outdoor items are available. Every taste in shopping will be satisfied... trust me, I know.
The photo above showcases the treasures found in "Blessings... Yours, Mine, Ours" (which is MY resale space) located at 1300 Yellow Brick Road (F1A) at the intersection of Penny Lane! The aisles have individual "street" names giving each vendor an "address"... which the vendors adore :). Please make this a priority on your "to do" list this month.
Here is a list of activities which are reasonably priced or free.
In addition, here are local attractions, vacation guides, and motel information.
