I live in Greenville and prefer the local restaurants in Spartanburg. I have a lot of friends there and am always made to feel at home. To me, Greenville , Spartanburg , and Anderson are all a single place.
The population figure of 39,000 for Spartanburg is misleading due to SC’ s restrictive annexation laws. The metro area probably has a population of at least twice that. Spartanburg County has a population of around 337,000. There are 7 schools districts in Spartanburg County; Spartanburg High School is located in District 7. Other parks to check out are Hatcher Garden and Glendale Shoals. Spartanburg has 7 colleges and is where the first college football game in SC was played. Another large festival held in downtown Spartanburg is the Dickens of a Christmas in early December. Spartanburg is also the headquarters of the National Beta Club. Spartanburg’s other nickname is Sparkle City, which was derived from a 1950’s rock group from the area who achieved national fame called the Sparkletones.
I stayed several times at the AC Hotel in Spartanburg and fell in love with Cribb's Kitchen (right across the street). Try their Fried Green Tomatoes. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
As a native and long time resident of Spartanburg, I would say, generally speaking, quite safe. Like all cities , Spartanburg has certain areas that are best to avoid at night. The city is developing transformation plans for those areas. The city’s annual crime report for 2022 is posted on TH-cam.
I was born and raised in the city of Spartanburg, have lived here for most of my life, have delivered meals on wheels in some of the roughest areas and have never had a problem. According to the city police annual crime report for 2022, posted on TH-cam, the city’s crime rate is declining. The city has taken a number of steps to address crime.
Crime information for SC counties can found in the state crime report on the SLED website. There is a breakdown of crime rates for specific types of crime by county as well as statewide trends. This information should be more accurate and up to date than internet sites such as Neighborhood Scout. P
Question. I am here cuz I drive thru this town and saw a huge confederate flag flying. Maybe it was outside the city? But that’s I looked up this video to see if u mention anything of it.
The Confederate flag along I-85 was erected by a private organization, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, on private property in an unincorporated area of Spartanburg County. This organization has erected large Confederate flags in other areas as well in Georgia and NC. Some county officials have expressed concern that the flag sends an unwelcome message to part of the population and will hurt the county economically. The flag was ordered removed based on a zoning violation but this is presently under appeal. Spartanburg is actually the only city in SC that belongs to GARE, Government Alliance for Racial Equity.
@@alexmercer936Although I'm not a fan of the CF, I agree with you 100% . When you take away history, you actually make the same mistakes over! And people are so afraid of things, like flags, statues. Anyone has a right to like or not like it, but its not going to reach out to hit anyone lol....there are always going to be things that 'offend' people. Like I was a vegan for 15 years and meat 'offended' me. But I had friends who were enjoyed their meat and I never said nothing and certainly didn't insist they go vegan, like today's vegans do! It was not my business! There will always be stuff to 'offend' someone and it could be anything. You just have to learn to let it go....or it will drive them all crazy and finding up new things to be offended over 🤔😐
Worked at home depot many years assumbling items, loved it and people working there

A lot of great info you added here.
I was there a month or so ago getting the new home in order. Definately 60-70,000 in the metro area.
The US census bureau actually has the metro area at about 196,000.

Love the story! Thanks for sharing Don!
@@upstatescliving No problem, folks. I also had a couple of evenings I find hard to remember at the Main Street Pub right down the street! 🙂
4th largest metro behind Charleston, Greenville, Columbia.
I love where I live 🙂❤👍
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Hot spot has good cold beers
The area is very nice. Moving to Lake Cooley in April, transferring with my company.
Oh very nice! If there are any questions you may have about your move, we would be happy to help!
Never mentioned Milliken

Much appreciated James! Glad I could do the town justice.
Boots and sunny's is good eating too😊
Mind-blowing 🤯! Your creativity and attention to detail are truly impressive, thank you for sharing.
I really appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed!
Spartanburg received national fame this past week when the origin of its name was the subject of a Jeopardy clue.
Very cool to know!
Do you know anything about the bmw plant and how much assembly workers make and if they get 1 week off in July and 1 week off for Christmas?
If I make 600k after taxes is it a good place?
One note: The militia group was called the Spartan Regiment, not the Spartan Regime.
Are there any RN jobs there? Any "Rehabilitation Facilities/Nursing Homes near Spartenburg?" Who are they? Cheers...I'm an RN
1:01 hahahaha
How safe is Spartanburg to live?

This was a nice, concise description.

@@orgrichard thanks that’s reassuring.
@@orgrichardinteresting, I didn’t know that. But they have the right to put that up and it shouldn’t put anyone off, it’s just history.
