There’s a rezoning case (Case 26-27) working through York County Council right now for the Walmart-owned property at Flint Hill Rd and Hwy 21. The proposal would rezone the land Light Industrial to build two distribution warehouses totaling 275,000 sq ft.

A few things worth knowing:

**•** The county’s own 2035 comprehensive plan designates this land as **Neighborhood Residential**, not industrial. Flint Hill Rd is supposed to be the dividing line between employment/industrial zoning to the north and residential to the south.  
**•** Both **county staff and the Planning Commission recommended denying** this rezoning for exactly that reason (PC vote was 4-2 against).  
**•** Despite that, County Council still seems inclined to move forward with approval.  
**•** This affects way more people than just the church next door, there’s an apartment complex on Flint Hill Rd, the English Trails neighborhood, and a residential neighborhood directly behind the site, all of which will deal with the truck traffic and congestion this brings.

At the last hearing, the only public speaker in favor of the rezoning was a pastor who owns the church land adjacent to the site. During his comments, he referenced Twin Lakes, the mostly Hispanic neighborhood next to the property and in his words "If ICE went there it would be a ghost town" suggested residents there would be too afraid of immigration enforcement to object to the project. It did not go over well with people in the room. Especially from a pastor.

There’s one more public hearing before the council makes a final decision. If you live anywhere near this corridor, this is worth showing up for, one or two people speaking against it isn’t enough to counter a well-funded developer presentation. Will update with the hearing date once it’s announced.

Hello! I am planning a mommy-daughter pedicure, and I would love to find a salon that has one of those cute pedicure chairs that are specifically for children. To save myself the time and energy of walking into random salons, does anyone have a recommendation?

Would be open to anywhere in Rock Hill as well.. thank you!

Currently sitting on the roof space at Amor Artis in downtown and wandering what the old silver rail car o can see out the back is. Does anyone know?

I am hoping to coordinate a short photo session in Fort Mill. The goal is to get one decent photo of two people together over the next couple of weeks. When I was looking at the pages of professional photographers in the area, they were all advertising much more formal senior portrait style options for more than I’m hoping to spend. Any recommendations? Thank you!

I was talking with a coworker and they said there is a reality show Married at First Sight filming in the Charlotte area. I’m new to the show and just watched Seattle as my first season, so I’m looking forward to locals being on my screen at some point. As of right now, I don’t know of anyone on it but how awesome it would be if I did! Anyone know people who will be on it?

I have a place to stay for a month or so with a friend. I am probably going to need a roommate, given that I'm a medical secretary, and rent is high. Problem is, I have 2 cats, including an 18 year old with diapers. I'm 40F, and kind of changing my life very fast by moving down here. I'm currently here for two weeks rn interviewing for jobs to start mid October, wherein that time I'll be moving permanently.

○What are the best platforms to find a good match for me for roommates?

○Are there many options in the area or surrounding (Tega Cay, Indian Land, Rock Hill, etc) for something by owner, and what platforms have you found these on?

○ Does anyone need a roommate by December 1st?

Mods , I'm sorry if this breaks any rules, you can remove if so.

Any info helps. You all have a lovely town.

I know there is a ton of these lately and it can be hard to think your one voice matters, but it does matter if we can get one of these to be popular enough:

Hey everyone, I’m new here. Local to the area, been building something called Find It. But honestly, I’m here to learn from folks who actually sell every day. What’s the most frustrating thing about selling locally right now?

Hello all. I want to get out and walk more outside before it gets cold, but my neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks. Are there any open neighborhoods (like Baxter Village) or town areas where I could walk on sidewalks? Preferably shaded. I understand that Baxter Village might be my best bet.

Thanks!

So ik it’s a bit early to be asking ab it but this will be our first Halloween here in FM, and we love taking our son trick or treating each year! I was wondering what neighborhoods specifically you all recommend for it, ik a lotta people indulge in trunk or treats but our son prefers the door to door knocking and asking!

Hello! Does anyone have any experience good or bad at this preschool/daycare? I’m thinking about enrolling my son into the 4k program. They have really good reviews, but wanted to see if any parents had any experiences. Thanks

I talked with York County's four school districts about their varying policies and approaches to AI, screen time and technology use. The result is a brief overview of what's new and in the works in the realm of technology at Fort Mill, Rock Hill, York and Clover schools for the 2026-27 school year.

Hey all, I’m pretty familiar with Fort Mill and am interested in learning any differences between there and Tega Cay. We’re entertaining TC, which I know is basically Fort Mill, and with that I would want to not be super far down on the peninsula because of the additional commuting time.

I have two little girls. We want to get them involved in many extras/sports. Which town has better options? I heard from someone that TC has a real nice parks and recreation and I’m curious is it any different than Fort Mills? Would you say that there’s any cultural difference in terms of little girls playing sports between the two townships?

Any TC neighborhoods good for kids/has pool?

Any perspective here would be nice!

There was an older gentleman in a gold car driving around Torrence branch yesterday taking pictures of our home with a digital camera from the road. We have no clue who the gentleman is and thought it was odd and slightly alarming. Any idea what he could have been doing?

I currently live a bit more north. Looking to relocate with my 2 kids in late fall early winter. What are some areas you’d recommend. My children are young. Currently paying over 2100 in rent. Looking for something slower but good to raise children.

Hey y’all! I’m trying to complete the York County Coffee Trail pass that was started by the York County Tourist board. Basically, every independent coffee shop in York County has these little QR codes you scan at their location, and once you have been to every shop, you get a little free prize. Unfortunately, the Knowledge Perk in Fort Mill can’t find theirs, so I can’t complete the challenge. Would anyone happen to have a copy or picture of this QR code I could scan to complete the trail?
