I see that a lot of people out there don’t want to fill out the Census forms. Thats your prerogative and whatever, I just don’t personally care what big brother knows about me. They already know all of my tax information and business information and I am really pretty boring. That said, there is a reason for everyone in Florence to fill out the Census forms.
New businesses? They look at those numbers.
New restaurants? Look at those numbers.
New franchises? Look at those numbers.
It also determines funding for roads, healthcare, and other vital services.
I don’t know about you but I want new restaurants and businesses to come to Florence. I am a big fan of having more options to choose from. I am not taking a political stance on if it is cost effective and if we should have it and yada yada yada. All I care about is my palate having a more diverse selection. I’ll take a Carrabba’s over politics EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. Or a Macaroni Grill! OOO… maybe a Cheesecake Factory (dreaming, I know.)
Thats all!

couldn’t agree more about having a more diverse selection when it comes to restaurants in Florence! I mean seriously, a Golden Corral in front of the old WalMart!!! Carrabba’s and Macaroni Grill would be awesome…the owner of Carrabba’s in Myrtle Beach told us a couple of years ago that they were coming to Florence… waiting patiently.
Your mention of Carrabba’s is enough to convince me to complete those forms . . . the owner in Garden City told me the same thing a couple of years ago, too.
Filled mine out today, name, birthdate, how many in your household. No personal info and no financial info. All they want is a head count. So please fill out the census form.
Great Post, It is so important to fill out the Census Form!
I am drooling over idea of Carrabas or Cheesecake Factory…
Plenty of motivation for filling it out!!
would LOVE LOVE LOVE a cheesecake factory– maybe Myrtle Beach will get one soon! I would REALLY like to see a Panera Bread open up here too!
I will fill mine out and photo copy it a dozen times….and send them all in…IF that will possibly make my dream of a Cheesecake Factory within driving distance a reality
mmmmm. EVEN BETTER — How about a PF Chang’s?!?!?
I’m gonna count my dog and cat.
