Once a hub for movie-goers in downtown Florence, the Carolina Theatre has spent years sitting unused, filled with storage boxes. City officials want to restore the theater to its 1920s glory, complete with a movie screen, ornate moldings and a marquee outside.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - We’re finally poised for some prolonged heat relief, but it comes as the cost of returning storms.

That means some of us who dealt with storms already today, could encounter a few more before midnight when things are expected to wrap up. Skies will remain partly cloudy overnight, with humid lows in the mid 60s to low 70s.

Clemson defensive ends coach Chris Rumph on considering the transfer portal
As the entire college football world knows, Dabo Swinney and the Clemson football program are not heavily involved in the transfer portal. By not heavily involved, I mean pretty much involved at all. The Tigers rarely take a transfer and when they do, it’s in a low impact role. A role you won’t see on the field, typically quarterback depth. Love it or hate it, that’s Clemson football right now.
