People Moving To Spartanburg South Carolina Even Tho It Looks Trashy In 2023

The Real Streets of Spartanburg in 2023

[@therover4141]

Why go into the ghetto and try to say it's all of spartanburg?

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Why not really

[@richardcribb9226]

Although the Highland “hood” behind the Beacon has a reputation for being a rough area, some notable people have come from there. These include the woman who designed the first black Barbie doll for the Mattel corp., a man who helped design the material of which airplane evacuation chutes are made, the first African-American to receive a PHD in computer science from the University of SC, several prominent athletes and people who made accomplishments in various fields at the local level such as a former assistant city fire chief.

Yes, it is crazy that so many people from all over the country are moving to Spartanburg!! Most seem to be moving here because their employers are relocating their businesses here, they enjoy the low taxes, and low cost of living. It's a shame that much of your tour was through an apartment complex that is in the process of being demolished and that you missed the 3,500 homes and apartments under construction. But we are glad that you did not take time to plan your trip and especially delighted that you left so soon. Spartanburg is just fine without your caustic and immature humor. Hopefully your video will slow down the flow of people trying to live here. Thanks for stopping by!!

Spartanburg County reaches more than half way over from Spartanburg to Greenville, directly towards the Greenville-Spartanburg airport and BMW plant. It looks like to me that the big growth coming into Spartanburg is actually into Spartanburg county, an area that is directly in the path of growth of metro Greenville, which is growing to the east directly towards Spartanburg.

Spartanburg was a quiet little town back in 2009. Nice people. A random guy helped me change my starter on my old truck, in a Walmart parking lot.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

I had someone help change a tire In Alabama for me.. than they got racial 😮

[@stevemarino5745]

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS They helped w/ your tire change AND got racial??? Why does this sound untrue, LOL? Whole lotta trolls on youtube these days.

[@keepitsimple4629]

Spartanburg's population has exploded, and I can't figure out why. There's no attraction. Maybe taxes are low. I liked it better up until just a few years ago. Now every street is jammed with traffic. I feel like I live in Atlanta or some big city. I want my little town back.

[@orgrichard]

Spartanburg’s nickname, Sparkle City, is derived from a 1950’s rock group from the area who achieved national fame called the Sparkletones. The city’s other nickname is the Hub City. The apartments shown in the first part of the video are boarded up and not maintained because the residents are being relocated to a new complex several blocks away. When the relocation is completed, these apartments will be demolished. The city is in the process of developing a leadership academy for the neighborhood around it which will develop a transformation plan for the area. This is the last of Spartanburg older apartment “hoods” to be demolished or remodeled. The Daniel Morgan statue in the square is Revolutionary War. Spartanburg is home to 7 colleges as well as the SC School for the Deaf and Blind. If you had gone west from the Beacon for about a mile you would have come to a beautiful woodland area called Hatcher Garden.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Thanks

[@theonlykog]

Sparkle City was for the moonshine that ran through the area.

[@orgrichard]

@@theonlykog most people say that Sparkle City is derived from the Sparkletones. A website about SC cities’ nicknames states that. The Little Chicago area of Spartanburg County is said to have derived its name from moonshine running in the area.

thank you so much for expelling this because the title makes my home look bad

Maybe people are moving to Greenville and Spartanburg because good paying jobs are available.

[@GreenMoutainReviews]

Where are they at ? Lol been living here for 3 weeks almost and can’t find anything that doesn’t pay $13 an hour, without some wild degree or borderline slave work haha. Seriously though. 😅😊

[@reece87262]

spartanburg is an amzing city with amazing people. the fact that you went thru the "hood" area and took your time to say that that is how all spartanburg is is dissapointing. you clearly drove right into that apartment complex thats is currenly being demolished and relocated and talked like it was how all spartanburg looked like? people are moving to spartanburg because it is a beautiul city with amazing experiences.

[@originalk9111]

What is your thought of Greenville sc?

Poor dude didn't even realize he was in the hood, and if everyone is a bad driver maybe its you.

The beacon serves "liver mush" for breakfast both spicy and regular. I think the paper in the windows on the atrium show high school kids from the past and are for the "SHS Lunch bunch"

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

😅 sorry for trashing your town.. its expensive where we live 😅

[@brittneytock]

Not going to lie y’all were annoying. Not to mention you didn’t even go through the beautiful areas and homes. You intentionally went to a hood near the beacan. In journalism it’s best to practice best practice and give a unbiased honest review.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Thats why i went to those places since yall wanna cover it up 👌

[@brittneytock]

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS you can go there but you could’ve also shown the North side/east side and even the nice houses on the south side off pine street. I’m just saying.

Alabama loves chicken stew also! I had never heard of it before until I moved up here. And I have only tried it once and could taste the canned chicken in it! It was so gross! Now if someone made it with fresh chicken, it might be good. But I haven't wanted to try it! 🤣

Spartanburg LMAO! When I moved to NC back in 2008, I was told to avoid Gastonia and Spartanburg for a reason. Perhaps it's gotten better there but I very much doubt it

[@russelladams7134]

Is Gastonia really bad? It is just outside Charlotte.

[@sassycat6487]

Gastonia looked like here back in 2008 but the last time I went a few years a go it was totally revamped. Couldn't believe how nice, clean and modern it looked compared to the last time I saw it.

Spartanburg is one of the few places in the Carolina's I haven't been and I have seen some BAD places but this takes the cake. I'm so disgusted and in shock at those apartment buildings. That's straight up third world. Whoever the city counsel is in that city should be ashamed of themselves.

[@orgrichard]

This apartment complex is privately owned and is not part of the city housing authority. They are scheduled for demolition. The relocation of the residents to a new complex nearby is underway which is why some of the apartments are boarded up

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS The process of relocating the the residents is underway but is moving rather slowly. An article in the newspaper last February stated that the completion of the new apartments has been delayed due to supply chain issues caused by the pandemic.
