    I'm from Cincinnati but I have family in NC and Spartanburg. It's a nice little small town. The southern hospitality, the food and everything is well maintained. No trash in the street 👍🏽

      The city has received a federal grant for economic development and beautification of the W. Main St. area shown in the first part of video. It will probably take several years to see results. Also, since this video was made, a popular walking/biking trail has been extended through the downtown area along Converse St. with the first curb protected bike lanes in the state. There is a beautiful woodland preserve/garden area In another part of the city called Hatcher Garden.

    It was recently announced that minor league baseball is returning to Spartanburg and that a new stadium is going to be built downtown. This will hopefully bring more revitalization to Spartanburg’s downtown area.

      Check out Greenville video tours. Relocating to Spartanburg is a big mistake. The crime rate is high there and Greenville is building a international airport that will compete with Spartanburg's airport. I'm sure whoever put this video up is a real estate agent and is talking this place up.

      Within the next couple of years, baseball is going to return to Spartanburg and a new stadium is goin to be built downtown. This should provide a boost to Spartanburg’s downtown redevelopment. Also, ground is going to be broken soon for a planetarium at the downtown library. This will be only the 2nd planetarium at a public library in the US. At Boiling Springs on the outskirts of Spartanburg, construction is beginning on a SuperTarget that will be one of the largest in the US when completed.

      Greenville has been run by the same Republican mayor for 40 years. Spartanburg is run by Democrats. The crime rate is substantially higher in Spartanburg. You are making a big mistake moving there, when you have two large towns in close proximity. @@MileageMikeTravels

      Spartanburg may not be as large and bustling as some other cities but it does have some
      amenities. It has 7 colleges, a new high school and elementary school in the city, 2 hospitals with a cancer center and heart center, walking /biking trails, an arts community, philharmonic orchestra, little theater, etc. , Hatcher Garden, Croft State Park, a science center and a branch of Children’s Museum of the Upstate., a business incubator program for minority businesses. Spartanburg is located at the intersection of 2 intersection of interstate highways . Some history trivia- Spartanburg had the first airport and the first commercial radio station in SC. For people who like music and history, there are the Spartanburg Music Trail downtown and the Spartanburg Revolutionary War Trail.

    Move closer to Greenville if you want less crime. The roads look awful. here on this video. The best clue I have to why Spartanburg is worse off than Greenville, is that Spartanburg is run by Democrats. If you don't believe me, check out the crime rates on a search engine.
