Ms. Annie's Diner, 4617 East Palmetto Street (Florence): 2010s 4 comments
Some time ago, I did a closing for a vacant diner/gas-station on East Palmetto Street heading east out of Florence. Here's another one.
In fact Ms Annie's was closer to Florence than INS was. I think the reasons I hadn't noticed it before were twofold. First, if I'm going to go to the beach by this route, I usually take the cut-off from the I-95 exit that comes out by the Dunkin' Donuts which is past this stretch of US-76/East Palmetto. Second, more often than not, I would be driving by during the night even if I skipped the short-cut.
Anyway, I can't find out much about the place. The address comes from an online menu site, but the menu has been taken down, so I can't say what they served other than it was "Home Cooking", and the shattered window signage emphasizes breakfast. I'm just guessing about the closing date -- it certainly appears to have been several years ago.
I did find the historical marker quite interesting and a bit scary.
Be warned that the place has been heavily tagged by folks with foul mouths and strong political views as you can see if you continue to the rest of the pictures.

This looks as run down as it did when I explored it in March of 2013, so the closing estimate of "2010s" might be a little fresh; I'd push it back to "2000s" easily.
Also, there's some informational boards at the site of the crater mentioned in on the Historical Marker, but you have to cut across some private property and go back into the woods to get to them.
