Grab your umbrella. This weekend, we could see rain and winds from Tropical Depression Francine as she moves her way into South Carolina. According to WYFF 4, we shouldn’t expect a washout, but rain will be around all weekend. If you’re looking for something to do, check out our rainy day guide.
Number
$5,391. That’s how much money was raised for Shriners Children’s hospital during the fourth annual Heroes Softball Game at Fluor Field. The Greenville Police Department (GPD) and the Greenville Fire Department faced off on the mound, but the GPD was victorious for the fourth straight year. Psst… you can still make a donation.

The haunted history of the Greenville Tuberculosis Hospital
Explore if you date. | Photo by GVLtoday
Many of you know about Herdklotz Park — located at 126 Beverly Rd. — but do you know about the Greenville Tuberculosis Hospital, which once sat on the park’s grounds? In honor of Friday the 13th, we’re taking a look back at the haunted history.
The Greenville Tuberculosis Hospital was used to treat hundreds of tuberculosis (TB) patients from 1930s to the 1950s. A cure for TB wasn’t discovered until the 1950s.
If that history doesn’t send a shiver down your spine, it also served as a psychiatric hospital and a prisoner release site for some time.
In 2001, most of the building was burned and later demolished. The basement door was sealed up and a playground was built on top of it. You can still visit the basement door + read about the history on the plaque that sits outside it.
This digestive enzymes powder + hand mixer. One scoop of dairy-free supergreens holds over 30 organic nutrients to help balance your gut and increase your immunity.
The only thing better, for me, than Halloween is Friday the 13th. I’ll be spending this “unlucky” day doing something very lucky — judging the Sooie BBQ Cook-Off in Mauldin. Maybe I’ll have to walk under a ladder to get there.
