Dreadful

If you're looking for a very nice climate and a low cost of living, which Spartanburg offers, you have to sacrifice other things. There are some growing areas north and the west of the city that aren't as depressing to live in. Restaurant-wise, you'll find a lot of greasy fast food chains. However, Olive Garden and Hooters recently opened right next to the Golden Corral and the mall. I think all of these restaurants first appeared in the 1980's throughout the rest of the country. The amount of litter along the roads is very prevelent, but not only isolated to Spartanburg, throughout much of the state. The Spartanburg "claim-to-fame" restaurant is called The Beacon. Locals will tell you that people from all over the world come to eat there. The Beacon is just another greasy spoon known for their wait staff's rude behavior. Everything's topped with chili and cheese. Why would people from all over the world want such a thing? And the area that it's located...just don't go around that part of town after the sun goes down. Although it's warm and the sun shines a lot, it always feels like a rainy day when you're in Spartanburg, SC.
