Harriet Hancock has passed away. She did great work for queer folk in SC, including founding the first PFLAG chapter in the southeast and starting the Harriet Hancock Center in Cola.

As we write in the book, the problems caused by cars won't be solved with different cars.

I do not know why WSPA has misidentified this as 29 and Pine Street. This image is on Pine Street and I am not biking there.

The City of Spartanburg broke two barriers in 1982. James Talley became the first African American to win an at-large election. He would later become the first Black mayor. Ellen Hines Smith was elected as the first woman councilmember. The body today is majority women and POC.

A city council candidate for next year is doing videos with an AI avatar that could easily be accomplished by talking to their phone camera. I am truly baffled.

A conservative for safer streets shares her story after her dad is killed by an SUV on a dangerous South Carolina road, a necessary perspective: www.washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/46902...

washingtonexaminer.com

I thought bike lanes were ‘DEI.’ Then an SUV killed my father

Street safety and bike lanes are not a culture war. Infrastructure prevents traffic deaths, boosts economies, and secures freedom.

A core tenet of The Walking Spartan is civic engagement, particularly regarding the local issues that affect us the most. I am glad to provide an endorsement to LeKesa Whitner for Spartanburg County Council Chair.

Arriverà altro espresso: from @walkingspartan.substack.com comes word that Grumpy Goose Coffee, an esteemed local coffee vendor, is opening its first storefront at Spartanburg's redeveloped former Coca-Cola site.

"Grumpy Goose Coffee is a mobile coffee cart in South Carolina with a love for excellent espresso and our community. Our focus is on locally sourced ingredients, housemade syrups, and creating connections everywhere that we go.

We don't have a storefront (yet), so instead we bring the coffee to you — at markets, weddings, offices, and community events. Our menu has the classics you love plus seasonal specials made with house syrups and fun flavor combinations.

At the end of the day it's not just about coffee, it's about connection, community, and brightening your day one cup at a time. Thank you for your support and being part of our flock."
