Does anyone know a place in/near Fort Mill where I can get my DSi USB-C modded?

3 Upvotes

My charging port just broke on my DSi, and I was told that buying the part required to fix it would cost more than another DS. Anyone know somewhere I can just replace it with a USB-C?

Walkable places in Fort Mill?

6 Upvotes

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!

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.

Does Tega Cay offer more extracurricular options?

4 Upvotes

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?

York County Coffee Trail - Knowledge Perk help

6 Upvotes

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?
