All About My Community

I love my hometown!  I am from Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Here is Spartanburg on a map.  Spartanburg is in the upper part of South Carolina that is called the Upstate.  It is a medium-sized city.  It shares an airport with the city of Greenville, which is next to Spartanburg.

This is what our downtown looks like.

Spartanburg is called the Hub City because many trains used to pass through our city.  Many trains pass through our city still today!

Here is a picture of a train passing through our town.

My favorite place in Spartanburg is a restaurant named Gerhard's Cafe.

It serves Austrian food and pizza.  Gerhard's pizza is the best!

We have many fun events in Spartanburg.  Our two most popular events are Spring Fling and the International Festival.

This is one of the posters from Spring Fling.  There are lots of fun games to play and there are even rides.  Spring Fling is always the weekend of my birthday, which makes it extra fun for me.

At the International Festival people set up tents to represent different countries.  Spartanburg is home to many people from all over the world.  People from different countries like to make food from their country and bring it to the festival to share with the community.

This is an example of a tent at the International Festival.  This tent represents the country of Costa Rica.

There are so many activities to do in Spartanburg!  I like to go to the big library downtown to read.

This is our main library.  There are so many books!

I love my community!
