Seeding Spartanburg

The Spartanburg County Delegation rift continues. Unfortunately for Spartanburg…no one in the real world gives a rats a**–leaving the future of our community crumbling at the hands of 4 yahoos with self-serving political agendas. Hometown News did a great piece on the rift sent to me by a regular commenter on Seeding Spartanburg (Thanks Shanks!). The Herald [...]

OK. I was really trying to get over and move forward with the District 7 debacle. But, again, today…there was a D7 leader digging that hole deeper in the SHJ. And while I really want to go to China one day…it’s not through a hole on the east side of Spartanburg. There’s an old saying/quote: [...]

My friend Jeff told me the other day that whenever he comes on my blog and sees I’m talking about District 7 he leaves. Thanks dude. Really. So I was thinking today…what do I want to talk about? Usually I’m not at a loss for words. And I’m not now either…just not sure what’s interesting enough [...]

Glad to see the Heritage Parade is back this year. We've always enjoyed going to this parade. It's this Saturday at 10am. They will be collecting canned goods for the 2nd Pres. Soup Kitchen from parade watchers (folks on go-carts will be riding around picking them up). It's a great community event. Bring the kids [...]

I attended the first in a series of public meetings this evening at Spartanburg High School. The turnout was pretty good. Most importantly, the press was well represented therefore if you couldn’t be there…you should be able to find out what happened. Of the school board everyone was there except Sharon Porter (who originally voted [...]

My friend and fellow blogger, Chris, did a fantastic post over on Spartanburg Spark warning each of us to watch out for those trying to sneak in under the radar and use this District 7 debacle as a tool to push school vouchers. He's right on. I've been watching them too. They've even been posting [...]

Man. I had to step back for a day. It’s been an insane week. One of those where people actually pay attention to what I’m saying. That rarely happens, you know. Yesterday, when I received word that Connie LeGrand was interested in talking to me…I was a little freaked out. And although I did pass, I [...]

So, in case you didn’t hear today, the District has put the contract with the local country club on hold. For now. The public will get the opportunity to speak at 4 public meetings the first one is Monday at 7pm at Spartanburg High School. I hope folks will attend and not become complacent about [...]

Want to hear more unbelievable stuff about District 7? Well… I’m going to share this and I am going to spread it around. It was told to me because I’m a blogger and a community activist. And one thing I’ve come to accept is that a community activist doesn’t SIT on stuff. I’m tired of [...]

I have a lot of favorite things but this weekend was awesome. Both yesterday and today I got to go on a walk. I aboslutely love, love, love going on a downtown walk on a sunny day. I get to think of all the things I love so much, why I do the things I [...]
