I love that Spartanburg is not super large and you can get to places with little commute time. There are so many places in Spartanburg that are family-friendly and the residents living here are overall very nice. The downtown area has seen some major upgrades which makes downtown Spartanburg a fun place to walk around and hang out with your family and friends. One thing I would love to see change in Spartanburg would be the overall poverty rates in particular sections of town. I do not feel as safe as I need to be when visiting these parts of town because the environment is quite rundown and out of date. However, the part that I am living in is very nice and a great place to live.
Spartanburg is a city in northern South Carolina. There are many things to do in Spartanburg. Some of which include: shopping, eating out at restaurants, Art galleries, Croft State Park, Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve, Cleveland Park, Hub City Art Park, Big Air Trampoline, Foster's Tavern, and Barnet Park, where concerts and events are often held with an amphitheater plus a play fountain and trail. I would like to see more people taking care of the environment. Littering is a problem in Spartanburg.
I love Spartanburg. This community is growing and changing and improving. With many local business and multiple colleges, this city's culture is very neat and I am excited to see what it looks like in the next 10 years.
