We found Anderson clean and cute but it was like a ghost town. Most of the downtown "shops" and restaurants had very limited hours even on the weekends. Especially Sunday...most everything was closed so no antique shopping, no lingering through the cute "shops" on your day off. We found it very unfortunate as we wanted to experience them. The restaurants were very limited as well...no lunch or limited lunch hours leaving 2 places very busy for lunch. We were told by the local brewery (which was dead on a Saturday evening) that "they shut down early due to the crime and that it is not a safe place to be at night". Very disappointing. It was unfortunate as the city of Anderson has so much going for it. We found all the big box stores, franchise restaurants, hospitals, etc. easily accessible. The people were generally friendly with the occasionally grumpy person here and there but we experienced mostly positive interactions. Our hope is that with continued growth, the local shops and restaurants will expand their hours which will bring more people out and about therefore changing the abandoned/ghost town feel.
I watched this video like a week ago and now i hear about all the devastation happening there. the devastation is apparently very bad on a scale of atomic weapon disaster.
@jenilenrd I'm from Anderson, born and raised, the downtown district is bordered by all 4 inner city neighborhoods, East, West, South, and Northside. Howerever the residential parts of all are at least 3 blocks over!!! The trouble is actually in the hoods and not the downtown district!! Krazy a lot of us dont even frequent downtown, but we don't give it a chance either!! Downtown is safe!! Business owners are scared but customers are not!! YES our biggest complaints is we close TOO EARLY!! Better of going to Greenville, but I Still ove my City!!👍
Wow I am so happy I watched this video. We are planning on moving to this area next year and I can't wait. We are moving to Central SC but we love Anderson. Thanks for a great video.
If your a figure skater don’t move to Anderson South Carolina especially if your Jewish it’s hard finding a job there and everything in minimum wage jobs or factory jobs and the people there are very slow.
