Seeding Spartanburg

The NuWay is an amazing place. If you love Spartanburg, you love the NuWay. Even if you don’t smoke…that smoky ass bar has a special place in your heart. After all, it is our oldest bar. And who doesn’t love a bar? What I love, love, love about the NuWay is that people love to [...]

US Senator Claire McCaskill introduced legislation today that would put a salary cap on the employees of firms that receive bailout money from the government. Which is awesome. The "cap" is $400,000 which, to most of us, is still a foreign language. I'm not sure why this has taken so long. I mean…hell, if you [...]

Interesting article in the SHJ today about the ongoing rift between the Spartanburg County Legislative Delegation.

There was an article in the Herald Journal yesterday about a local school district giving $200,000 to a local country [...]

Yep. Today marks 4 years for this 'ole blog. Hard to believe I've kept something up for 4 years. Especially something as stressful as a blog that leans left and is mainly political in South Carolina. It's not always easy but something keeps me at it. I guess my belief in my community, my state [...]

I have found just THAT on SCTWEETS this past week. I mentioned this site last week but after a week of watching…dear Lord. It is sad. It's a new website where a handful of our elected officials Twitter. Thank God it is only a few because if this is any sign of what SC has to offer–I'd hate [...]

Who’s the best American? Who’s the most patriotic American? Who is that? Does it have to be one person? On this day as we celebrate the life of MLK and electing Barack Obama, each of us need to look in the mirror and ask those questions. What makes MLK, Obama, JFK, Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks [...]

This is what I'm talking about! It really makes me want to give Coca-Cola a big ole' hug. Coca-Cola opens recycling plant (in Spartanburg) Watch the little video they provide. It explains the process of how Coca-Cola plans to do some recycling in Spartanburg! The state-of-the-art plant, said to be the largest of its kind [...]
