Are you watching “Meet Me in Rome” this weekend? According to recent data from Roku, it’s the most popular romance movie in SC. “Moonstruck” tops the chart as the most popular romance film in eight different states. (Axios)
Real Estate
Would you live in a six-bedroom home located 656 ft under the water? A project called Deep, backed by an anonymous investor, is working to create a permanent “human settlement” under the sea. We’ll just take this home with a pool for now, thanks. (The Guardian)
Drink

Number
$200+. That’s how much a one-day adult pass to Disneyland costs now. Consider spending that money closer to home with a road trip to Pawleys Island. (The Wall Street Journal)

Two truths and a lie
Two of these Greenville history facts are true and one is a lie. Can you identify which one is fake?
A textile mill in Greenville County produced the fabric used for part of the astronauts’ spacesuits during the Apollo 11 mission, which first put a man on the moon.
Greenville was the first city in South Carolina to have its own public library system, opening in the late 1800s.
Greenville County was once a hot spot for moonshine production during Prohibition with some of the most well-known distilleries located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Traveling via plane is fun — jet-setting over beautiful blue waters or rolling hills, taking in cloud formations, and landing in a completely different location in a matter of hours is unlike anything else.
The whole navigating the airport part? Less exciting, and sometimes pretty stressful. To help make your time at the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) as smooth as possible, we’ve created a guide that covers everything from parking to details on the airport’s nonstop flights to 22 US destinations.
What to know
TSA | On average, it takes ~17 minutes to get through.
A zero waste lotion bar that’s perfect for on-the-go use. It’s formulated with non-toxic ingredients that soothe dry skin and provide long-lasting hydration.
Speaking of GSP, did you see the announcement earlier this month that there will soon be four new Breeze destinations? My husband and I are hoping to catch that flight to Portland, ME.
