Spartanburg has a rich history with NASCAR and there is a TH-cam video about it called The Town NASCAR Forgot. The Talledega Raceway was originally going to be built in Spartanburg and there is also a video about the Spartanburg- Talledega connection.
I never looked at the city of Spartanburg beyond the BMW Zentrum! I just ran out of time. It looks like a nice small city. I wonder if in a decade it’ll experience a boom like Greenville has. Thank you for the video!
I'm curious to see how it grows as well! I think Spartanburg is poised to experience growth as well as they try to mirror Greenville. The addition of the minor league baseball team and investment into the stadium is certainly a big step in that direction! Have a great week, Carol!
Converse is a university. Other trails include the Hub City Hopper, curb protected bike lanes through the downtown area; the River Birch trail, extended last year to the site of a former grist mill with a dam and waterfall 5 minutes from the downtown area; the Cottonwood Trail, the Drayton Mills Trail and the Three Creeks Trail. There are also has Hatcher Garden, Glendale Shoals and the Milliken Park and Arboretum , which at 600 acres is one of the largest corporate green spaces in the US. Non- motorized boating is soon going to be allowed on Duncan Park lake in the city and a dock was recently constructed for it. Duncan Park Stadium, where Spartanburg’s past baseball teams played is the oldest in the state. The NY Yankees once played an exhibition game there and players that have played there include Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Hank Aaron, Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige. In 1889, the first college football game in SC was played at what is now the fairgrounds in Spartanburg.

Great addition to this information! Yes, Converse is a University. I'm still used to calling it Converse College!
