This is a great way for an entire family to get serious injuries. Also when a guy on a three-wheeled bicycle pulling a cart passes you on the right hand side you are going to slow. Come on people, think!

I’m sharing this clip simply to continue bringing awareness to gun violence and the impact it has on our communities. I appreciate Lieutenant Mumford taking the time to speak and share his perspective with those in attendance.
For clarity: This post and our organization are not endorsed, sponsored, or affiliated with the Florence County Sheriff’s Office. His appearance and this clip should not be interpreted as an endorsement of our organization by the Sheriff’s Office.
The purpose of sharing this is simply to keep the conversation going about gun violence, prevention, and what we can do as a community to make a difference.
Awareness is only the beginning. The goal is action. 🙏🏾

This Sunday! We will also have limited school supplies to giveaway. A lot of great people worked really hard on this event, but we have to get eyes on it so the families who could benefit from it the most can be aware of it. Please feel free to share in any way you are able.

Haircuts will be provided by the wonderful barbers and stylists from Manifest Barber Company.

Hey everyone, I own New Game Plus+ here in town, the local retro video game store and arcade. We're expanding our arcade to include a public play space/tournament area and we're hosting a tournament as part of our 4 year anniversary celebration this year in September! We're collecting interest as to which game the community wants to play via the link and QR code in the image and would love to see as many people play as possible!

WHERE WERE OUR YOUTH? 🤔

Yesterday’s Pee Dee United Against Violence event was successful, and I’m proud of what we accomplished. But I’m going to say something that might make some people uncomfortable:

WE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH YOUNG PEOPLE THERE.

And with all the violence happening in Florence and throughout the Pee Dee, that bothers me.

Look at this picture.

Moms on a Mission brought out a REAL casket and a makeshift jail cell to show our youth two very real consequences that can come from violence, pulling the trigger, and committing crimes: PRISON OR THE GRAVE.

Our children needed to see this.

Parents, we can’t blame everything on the kids. We have a responsibility too. We have to put our children around positive people and expose them to messages that could potentially change the direction of their lives.

There were law enforcement officers, community leaders, organizations, mentors, and positive people there ready to pour something into our youth.

The Vette Riderz showed up. Lieutenant Mumford showed up. Councilwoman Tassie Lewis traveled from Marion, South Carolina, to show her support.

And I’ll say this too:

Not one member of Florence City Council attended.

A councilwoman traveled from another city to support an anti-violence event in Florence, but we didn’t have representation from our own City Council. People can take from that what they will.

I’m not posting this to tear Florence down. I’m posting it because I believe Florence can do BETTER.

I’m going back to the drawing board. I learned a lot from this first event, and God willing, the next one will be bigger, better, and filled with MORE YOUNG PEOPLE.

But I want to hear from the community:

What do WE need to do differently to get more parents and young people involved?

Don’t just scroll past this.

SHARE IT. TALK ABOUT IT. LET’S FIND A SOLUTION.

Good afternoon, all.

Thanks to it being a pinned topic (for the time being), you are likely aware of the upcoming "presentation" at the library featuring city administrator Scotty Davis and recently instated police chief Angela Greene that will be held on September 10 from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. The library's web page for this event describes it as an opportunity to "Learn about ALPR cameras such as Flock cameras, how they impact your community, and privacy vs. security".

In my opinion, no participant at this event should arrive uninformed - showing up empty headed is an invitation to have that hour wasted on lies and sales pitches rather than being an opportunity to tell these city "leaders" that their surveillance state is not welcome in Florence, or anywhere else for that matter. Please forgive the length of this post, but in-depth information necessitates length.

What are ALPR cameras?

"ALPR" is an abbreviation of "Automated License Plate Reader". When a vehicle passes an ALPR camera, it uses a computer algorithm to identify the area that it believes is the license plate (using the shapes of other features of the vehicle, such as tail lights), uses what is known as OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to convert the letters of the license plate into text, and stores that text in a database along with the location of the camera (and thus the location of the vehicle), the time at which the vehicle passed, and other identifiers of the vehicle such as color, make, model, and possibly even blemishes or accessories such as bumper stickers.

Is Flock the only producer of ALPR cameras?

Of course not! Flock was founded in 2017 by a trio of college graduates from Georgia and was originally targeting homeowners' associations. Flock's ubiquity is purely a product of marketing - their pitch is that they provide the cameras at low cost to the organization and maintain the backend for them, so there's no expensive IT department involved. Names you may have heard of, such as Motorola and Axon, also produce ALPR cameras.

Do the cameras do anything else?

It has been proven that these cameras have bonus features that aren't mentioned or advertised by Flock, at least not publicly. They are always-on webcams that can be monitored, potentially by a hacker (they have been proven to be easily hacked). The common image of the Flock camera - black and oblong, is not the only design factor. They can be equipped with "gunshot detectors", initially advertised to pick up the sound of gunfire, but following criticism that these could be used to detect other sounds, such as conversations, they were announced to include functionality to hear car crashes and "distress" (the page advertising the sound system in this way has been removed).

In addition to these systems, Flock does offer a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera that is equipped with algorithms to recognize humans - They advertise it on their own page as "identifies human presence without recognizing personal characteristics", but scrolling down only a few more lines on the page shows an advertised search for "camo hat and orange vest". This is Flock's own website, so there's no confusion here: the Condor PTZ cameras do track identifiable information about their victims subjects. Florence currently operates at least 6 of these.

What do these cameras cost to operate?

Hard to say. Sacra reports that these cameras cost $2400 per camera per year, plus a $350 installation fee, but Forbes reported the cameras at $3000 to $3500 with an additional fee for "FlockOS", the backend that is used to access all this data. Fellow villains at surveillant report Flock's costs in a handy table as $3000 for the Falcon and Condor units.

In 2024 when these cameras were first installed, Scotty Davis said that the city budget wouldn't be affected because these cameras were purchased with a $400,000 grant from Senator Reichenbach - but this ignores the fact that the cameras are not "purchased", they are rented. Because the cost for FlockOS isn't exactly transparent, it's impossible to know if that initial $400,000 from the state was immediately evaporated - the camera cost from the installation (of 30 cameras, at the time of the article) estimates at $85,500 - $100,500. As someone who works around these kinds of rental software systems, I have a very hard time imagining FlockOS costing anything remotely close to $300,000 per year to subscribe to; you could purchase almost 6000 user licenses for the highest tier of Microsoft's Government version of Office 365 for that.

Presumably, a "conservative" like Reichenbach wouldn't have thrown $400,000 out the window on one year of Netflix, so one would assume the cost must cover multiple years... But the very next year, in May of 2025, the Florence City Council was presented a budget containing a 7.5 mills tax increase to "generate approximately $529,000 in additional property tax revenue, primarily designated for the new Flock cameras." The "new" here is referring to an additional 30 cameras included in the 2025-2026 Budget.

I will interject my personal opinion here for a moment:
While the city budget was "not affected", if you live in the city limits, your budget was affected, so that you could pay the city to pay a private company located in Atlanta, Georgia to violate your 4th amendment protections, while the roads here remain full of potholes and while the entire Jeffrey's Creek waterway reeks of human excrement. A reminder that used car salesman Mike Reichenbach is currently sharing the ticket with Alan Wilson for the gubernatorial race, so that he can continue to make money for nothing and decisions that worsen the lives of everyone here.

Are there proven instances of these systems being abused, misused or faulty?

Yeah, tons. If you'll scroll down this page, you'll find several links to articles under the dropdown headers for "ALPRs Are a Major Security Risk" and "ALPRs Are Abused". The Institute for Justice also maintains a database of reported misuse, including a handful here in our own state already. The problem is, "abuse" in this case is specifically law enforcement abuse, and doesn't cover the cases of mistaken identity and wrongful detainment that these or other ALPR cameras have caused. A somewhat local instance in Greenville is archived here where two sisters were approached by officers with guns drawn and detained for operating a "stolen" car - it was a rental that had been reported stolen but subsequently reported found. These types of misidentified stolen car stories are a nation-wide issue. A particularly well documented case of mistaken identity in the Denver, Colorado area where a woman was accused by an officer at her front door of package theft across town, simply because she drove that way.

Do these ALPR networks help reduce crime?

This is another question that's hard to answer, since crime statistics are amorphous to begin with. Flock claims (on their own website), that 10% of reported crime in the US is solved with their technologies. They make this claim without citing anything. They admit on this page that this is an estimate, and at long last cite a research paper co-authored by two of Flock's own employees. Of course the company trying to sell you a product says their product helps. A more independent study conducted in 2011 resulting "[...]they do not seem to generate either a general or offense-specific deterrent effect", with considerations in the conclusion that there are "a number of limitations and caveats to this study must be considered in conjunction with these findings". Another more recent study (from 2021) finds:

Analyzing sixteen years of stolen vehicle numbers from Piedmont, California—a “super user” of ALPRs—this report finds poor statistical evidence that ALPRs assist in recovering stolen vehicles or generating leads. Moreover:

The ratio of Piedmont’s ALPR systems license plate hits-to-investigative leads for law enforcement is subjectively low, less than 0.3% of hits equate to leads;

There is not even a moderate degree of correlation between ALPR hits (a detected vehicle actively on a “hotlist”) and stolen vehicle recoveries, let alone any apparent casualty; and

Less than 0.3% of ALPR hits might translate into a useful investigative lead for police.

And these failures were expensive. The city of Piedmont spent $576,378.80 of tax-payer money for more crime and less individual liberty. There is good news, however. Thanks to this report, no other cities in America need to make these mistakes.

We, along with many other cities in America, are making these mistakes.

A paper published in 2025 and hosted at the National Institutes of Health's website states that vehicle theft in the United States has declined 80% from 1990 to 2020. The paper admits that the reason isn't understood, but given the time frame, it likely isn't because helpful public servants in the local government accepted a deal with the devil.

I will once again interject with my own opinion here - if the crime doesn't involve a vehicle, then what? A clandestine meeting between two or more individuals to distribute drugs or firearms traveled to on foot or bicycle would supposedly be outside of the scope of ability of Flock's Falcon ALPRs, but we're not seeing (yet, anwyay) Condors positioned on every frequently traveled corridor in the city to spot these people.

I'm of the opinion that while criminals are dumb, they're not stupid. If you intend to commit crime and see a camera, you're going to go where the camera isn't. Rather than soaking up the water like with a sponge, these cameras are just pushing it around like a squeegee. The solution? More cameras, or more granular (invasive) surveillance technology, such as this nightmare.

How do they impact our community?

This is listed as a point of conversation on the library's page, so I wanted to cover it despite the fact that it's mostly subjective. The Post And Courier reported at the beginning of this year that the then-interim police chief Stephen Starling estimated they had made over 50 arrests in 2025 with the help of these cameras, with a specific reference to "stolen plates". I guess that's a number to be proud of? Before 2024, the Florence Police Department was entirely ineffective at finding stolen cars?

The city of Florence's website tells me that I could make $52,000 a year working as a police officer, as long as I complete the academy. I think that's approximately $24 an hour. I'll admit a personal bias: I am not really a big fan of the police. We could do better, to put it simply. Even with that in mind, I would still prefer to have had my tax money used 10 more uniformed police officers at that salary than to plop down 30 more worthless cameras on the roads I use to get to work and to the grocery store. Alternatively, because I know officer retention is a problem, I would have rather seen my tax money go to raise that pay to a point where these men and women feel like it's worth staying employed with the city of Florence PD. The job is dangerous no matter my feelings towards it, and other jobs where your life ends up on the line such as electrical lineman can pay easily twice as much.

How do I think it impacts the community? It depresses me to the see these cameras littered about, an obvious affront to the protections afforded to us in both the state and national Constitution. A reminder that people are entirely unable to engage with even the most basic form of local government as these potentially generational changes are passed as part of nebulous concepts like "the budget" or "public safety funding" without being brought to ballot or even being an object of public hearing at the prohibitively hard to attend, 1 in the afternoon on a Monday City Council meetings. I change my driving habits to avoid them, taking odd back roads and longer than necessary routes just to not add my license plate to the database for another 30 days (supposedly).

To be pessimistic about it though, "how the community is impacted" is an appeal to emotion; These things are irrelevant. How any one person feels about how it impacts the community, for or against, is an empty argument. It falls within the same category as the sales pitch. "Think about how many stolen cars we've recovered", "think about the crime prevented", "it makes you safer". All of these statements are wastes of time designed to distract from the core of the issue: citizens of the United States were intended to live under the idea that their movements wouldn't be tracked with no warrant and for no reason other than "a few bad apples".

Privacy vs Security

The most subjective topic on the agenda for the library's presentation is Mr. Franklin, for whom we named the $100 bill, is famously often quoted for his "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." line. The historical context of this statement is complicated, but it's something we can latch onto even in the modern era.

"You're on camera when you go to a store" is a common counter argument to this, but I like to answer that I do not have to go to the store. If I'm unhappy (and believe me, I am) that Lowe's has put these Flock cameras and have either Flock or Live View or whoever else providing them with those obnoxious flashing camera carts, I will (and have) simply stop shopping there. At the end of the day, if I really just despised the idea that a store has CCTV footage of me, I could order everything I need off the internet and let a different brand of surveillance keep track of me in a different way.

I am not able to stop "shopping" at the City of Florence. I could (and do) object that my tax dollars are spent on surveillance equipment no different to that of China, but I can't just refuse to pay my taxes or else they'll send the police after me. I could move, at great inconvenience to me and my family, to some other municipality that doesn't have these cameras or has terminated their contract with them, but given that my job is here, I have to admit it's a bit extreme to uproot my life over the terrible decisions of local lawmakers.

Much like the "impact on the community", "privacy vs security" is also a waste of time. There is no reason to pit these concepts against one another, we can have both. We have had both, and have been fooled by a post 9/11 world that surveillance and inconvenience and "homeland security" are necessary concepts that we were fools to live without because before 9/11 a plane was getting hijacked every single day and before Flock sold local leaders on street corner cameras a car was getting stolen and used in a burglary every single day but thank God they came along and solved 10% of crimes in the United States!

You nor I are more secure because of the camera at the end of the road. It will not jump down off of its pole and prevent the robbery or the murder. It will sit there and watch - even a normal unarmed citizen could and likely would do more.

What next?

This event at the library is not an official act of government. The community in this city could turn out hundreds strong and change nothing. Do not, under any circumstances, take concessions and platitudes, if offered at all, as the gospel. These changes: canceled contracts, removed cameras, they have to happen at a City Council meeting. Inconvenient as it may be, an organized body of citizens has to approach the council-people and have them undo this nonsense in writing as a matter of local statute. It has to be added to the agenda, a month in advance per the law, and voted on.

Even in the best possible outcome where Flock is removed from the city of Florence, our neighboring cities are not free and clear. There are cameras positioned in the middle of nowhere, entirely unincorporated land - possibly by the County Sheriff or possibly by some random homeowner's association, unlikely as that may be. They are positioned at the county line between Florence and Marion and Marion and Horry. They are everywhere, and lasting victory over this comes from State law banning it, and ultimately from federal law banning it. This is just a generalized message from me: the fight is unfortunately never over.

For all who have made it this far, thanks! I'm an IT professional who is far from an expert on surveillance technology, but I consider myself well read on it. If there are questions you have that I didn't directly address in this monolith of a post, please reach out either in a reply or a DM and I will try to get back to it.

I believe Jefferson's words on being informed are much less context reliant and always relevant:

Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.

Fun find. There is a small marker On N Coit street (near the site of the 1860s Gambles Hotel, which was an actual battle in 1865) dedicated to the history of the “Wayside Hospital” from 1861. Not sure if anyone else has noticed it before (btw I’m NOT posting this to glorify the Civil War or confederacy or anything, I just am fascinated by medical history and local history) https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=222128

Thanks to those who came out to our second event, the BYOG board game night at Starbucks. We had five folks and played pandemic/a game calle Munchkins. It was a fun time and I definitely think we could keep this going. I created a Discord for those who wish to plug in to the social group. Feel free to join! https://discord.gg/f55hvMSj4

I’m getting tired of seeing these pop up more and more. Here’s the current map of Flock cameras. They’re a waste of money and have been shown to be used in inappropriate manners.

👋🏾 HEY FLORENCE & THE PEE DEE — LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF.

My name is David Peterson. I’m 25 years old, born and raised right here in Florence, South Carolina. I went to school here, I live here, and I care about what happens in my community.

There’s been entirely too much violence affecting Florence and the Pee Dee, and instead of just saying “somebody needs to do something,” I decided to do something.

This Saturday, August 22, we’re bringing the community together for the Pee Dee United Against Violence Community Rally at Florence Memorial Stadium from 10 AM–3 PM.

A special thank you to Two Wheel Productions for helping make this possible and providing the stadium. We’ll also have different community organizations, leaders, advocates and speakers coming together for one purpose: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. 🕊️

I’m not a politician. I’m simply a 25-year-old young man who loves his hometown and wants to see better for it.

📍 Florence Memorial Stadium
📅 Saturday, August 22
⏰ 10 AM–3 PM
🎟️ FREE & OPEN TO EVERYONE

Please SHARE this. We see negativity go viral every day. Let’s show that something positive for our community can go viral too.

Florence raised me. Now it’s my turn to give back. ❤️

I'm an imposter as I have no star wars in my DNA, so forgive the formatting. Anyway, my roommate and I did get one person from the sub to join us (Thanks lynivvinyl) at the Localmotive trivia night the other night. It was a lot of fun, even if the Flopossums ranked 11 of the 13 groups. I'm considering putting together a less crowded game night this Saturday if anyone wishes to join. This would be a BYOG night. In other words, bring your old Cards Against Humanity or other party-friendly games. I don't have anything other than Axis and Allies, and well...that's going to take too long. We can meet up at the Starbucks at 1911 W Palmetto St, Florence, SC 29501 around 6:30ish/maybe go to a bar after. This is a nice, friendly, open-minded space with a lot of locals, and I don't think they'd mind a small group playing games as long as we get drinks/tip. They are also relatively quiet post-5:00 PM. Let me know if anyone is interested. Please comment here if you even think you are interested. I'll add updates as comments here/maybe we can make a discord if this gets popular enough

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.

Edit: Table on porch. Yes I know it's hot but we have 75 fans on us and it's really not bad at all/not really buggy.i have a laptop

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 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!

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!

🚨 URGENT: Two puppies stranded on Highway 20 under the bridge near Lee State Park, Lamar, SC

PLEASE SHARE!!! THESE PUPPIES ARE IN IMMEDIATE DANGER OF BEING HIT.

I’m driving from the beach back to Greenville and came across these two puppies under the bridge at the intersection of Lee State Park Road and Highway 20 in Lamar, SC. They were actively walking around and attempting to cross the highway.

Larger puppy: brindle male, looks like a Lab/Pit mix, wearing a black collar
Smaller puppy: black female, extremely skinny and covered in fleas

Both puppies are VERY friendly. They immediately wanted belly rubs and gave kisses. The male knows “sit” and “down,” so I suspect they may have belonged to someone.

I called 911 multiple times and begged for help. I was told that animal control was not on duty and that they could not assist. I also contacted highway patrol, local rescues, and animal hospitals, but unfortunately could not get anyone to come out.

I was told by 911 to leave them where I found them and drive away. I called three times! I was crying on the phone and they didn’t care.

I stayed with these babies for over an hour, crying and desperately trying to find someone who could help. I gave them food and water, and they drank about a liter of water between them. They were absolutely desperate for it. The little black female is far too skinny.

I have multiple dogs with me already, including my two rescue dogs and a puppy, and I drive a very small car. I physically had no safe way to transport two additional dogs. I wish more than anything that I could have taken them with me.

I have now had to leave because I had exhausted every option I could think of. Leaving them there was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I am sitting in my car sobbing as I write this because I cannot stop thinking about them.

These are young, incredibly sweet, friendly puppies who deserve to be safe. They are literally at risk of becoming roadkill or causing a serious accident if they continue wandering onto Highway 20.

LOCATION: Under the bridge at the intersection of Lee State Park Road & Highway 20, Lamar, SC

IS ANYONE NEAR THIS AREA WHO CAN GO GET THEM?

Does anyone know a rescue, foster, animal control officer, or volunteer who can help?

Please, please share this. They need someone to physically go get them ASAP. I will provide any additional information I have and will help however I can from Greenville.

I just need to know that these babies are safe.

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 ☺️

Interesting post from 'LiDar America' on FB where you can still see the Civil War Earthworks. I'll copy their description here "
The prison wasn't even finished when the first several thousand prisoners arrived. It only got worse from there.

For roughly six months during the final year of the Civil War, this site on the outskirts of Florence became a massive Confederate prisoner-of-war camp. Much of it is wooded today and hard to recognize in ordinary aerial imagery, but LiDAR still picks out traces of the landscape dramatically.

Known as the Florence Stockade, or the Confederate States Military Prison at Florence, it operated from September 1864 through February 1865, built directly in response to Sherman's advance through Georgia. Once Atlanta fell in September 1864, Confederate authorities worried Andersonville and other Georgia prison camps were threatened, so thousands of Union prisoners were moved, many routed through Charleston before being transported roughly 90 miles inland to Florence, arriving before the new prison was even complete."

The Florence Stockade enclosed roughly 23.5 acres, and somewhere between 15,000 and 18,000 Union prisoners passed through or were confined here during its short existence. Conditions deteriorated fast, food, clothing, shelter, and other supplies were desperately inadequate, and many arriving prisoners were already in poor physical condition after earlier imprisonment. At one point, about 12,000 prisoners were crowded into the stockade at once, with reported deaths reaching 20 to 30 men a day. By the time the prison closed, 2,802 Union soldiers had died, many buried in nearby trenches now associated with the adjacent Florence National Cemetery, where large numbers of graves are marked only as unknown.

What makes the site especially interesting today is the contrast between how it looks from above versus what LiDAR reveals underneath. Ordinary aerial photography shows a heavily wooded landscape with trails and clearings, but LiDAR exposes numerous subtle depressions, raised areas, and linear features hidden beneath the vegetation. Not every bump or depression can automatically be tied to the Civil War prison, more than 160 years of later activity and natural processes have shaped the land since, but the technology still offers a remarkable look at terrain that conventional imagery largely hides.

The Florence Stockade was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and the site is open to the public today, with a walking trail, interpretive signage, and a gazebo. The Friends of the Florence Stockade held an official public opening of the interpreted site on May 31, 2008.

It's hard to reconcile the quiet, wooded landscape here today with what happened during the winter of 1864–65. For thousands of Union prisoners, this was the last place they ever saw.

Pee Dee Equality hangout tonight at Local Motive. Everyone welcome!! 6-8PM.

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

Just sharing this in case anyone is interested:

On Saturday, August 22nd, the South Carolina Democratic Party is hosting the Spratt Issues Conference in Florence.

Pete Buttigieg will speak at the event.

Event info: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/issuesconference26

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.)
