News Notes

Eat

McRib season is here — the seldom-available sandwich is temporarily back at McDonald’s. Availability + pricing vary by location, so we recommend checking with individual stores or the McDonald’s app. Psst — the McRib Locator reported the sandwich has been spotted at the West Butler Road location.

Shop

Pro tip for kids gifts: Consider gifting the family a membership to The Children’s Museum of the Upstate. Why? Experiences keep toys out of the living room and kids out of the house. Browse kid-friendly activities for more gift ideas.

Fun Fact

Quick — what’s the weirdest thing in our state? Is it the Peachoid in Gaffney? That’s pretty strange, but according to FiftyGrande’s list of the “50 Weirdest Roadside Attractions,” the South of the Border landmark is even weirder.
Wondering what was on Greenvillian’s minds this year? According to Google Year in Search 2024, people in our city were searching for things like “wings near me.” Psst: To answer your search, we’d recommend our wing guide.
