Spartanburg Historic District forming across many facets
Business, industry beating path to city and county
A 15-minute stroll through the heart of Spartanburg will reveal a downtown under heavy transformation – new hotels, residences, retail space, mutual government offices, even a new home for the city’s clock tower. And all of it is intentional to create this 20-square-mile area into a nationally renowned downtown district by the end of the decade. “Downtowns are vital for economic growth,” said Upstate S.C. Alliance President and CEO John Lummus “Having growing, planned, and successful downtowns makes the quality of life in a region increase, and this attracts talent and companies to the area.”
Escape the Hub City: Six Fall road trips worth taking from Spartanburg
There’s a very specific point every year when staying in Spartanburg for the weekend suddenly feels like a missed opportunity. The temperature finally drops, the leaves begin changing and Western North Carolina starts calling — preferably with an apple cider doughnut waiting at the other end.

Institute readying for autumn hospital expansion
As health care across the U.S. continues to rise at a precipitous pace, Spartanburg Rehabilitation Institute is preparing to meet the growing demand for all of its Upstate services with a new $10 million, 20-bed expansion this autumn at its North Grove Medical Park facility.
The addition will not only allow doctors and nurses to treat more people, but to care for more inpatients needing comprehensive recovery from physical disabilities and chronic illnesses.
“Over the past two years , SRI has seen a 10% year-over-year rise in admissions for stroke, orthopedic, and medically complex patients,” said CEO Richard Schulz, who has been with the institute since its opening in 2013.

Connecticut couple to cycle into Spartanburg during Climate Ride
A Connecticut couple will pedal into Spartanburg on Sept. 10 as part of a 1,000-mile bicycle ride raising money and awareness for climate-related causes.
Dennis and his wife will spend the night in Spartanburg before beginning the next leg of their seven-day Climate Ride the following morning. The couple’s route will take them through New River Gorge, Mammoth Cave and Great Smoky Mountains National Park before ending in Columbia.
This year’s ride carries special significance for the couple, who are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. After Dennis completes his long solo ride each day, Lisa will join him on their tandem bicycle for an additional 25 miles — one mile for each year of their marriage.

Crispy, cool and ready for Fall: Chicken cutlets with apple-arugula salad
I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend! It always feels like Labor Day is supposed to flip some magical switch from summer to fall, but here in the Upstate, September usually has other plans. The calendar might be ready for sweaters and soup, but when it’s still blazing hot outside, I’m not.
So this week’s recipe is my compromise: a dinner that brings in a few of those first fall flavors without committing us to anything too heavy.

Cybersecurity: Are attacks the precursor to creating human machines?
Former hacker: June breach of Spartanburg County systems likely to repeat
On June 13, 1863, English writer Samuel Butler sent a lengthy letter to the editor of The Press newspaper in Christchurch, New Zealand. It took up nearly two full columns and addressed a subject that didn’t seem to belong in a 19th-century world: that humans were in danger of being replaced by machines.
In part of his letter, Butler wrote: ‘Day by day…the machines are gaining ground upon us: day by day, we are becoming more subservient to them. The time will come when the machines will hold the real supremacy over the world and its inhabitants.’
