On the Road Again

My three day trip to SC was cut to two when we motored through the entire state and every small town quicker than we anticipated. Along the way we visited Gaffney, Laurens, Clinton (home of the Blue Hose), Newberry, McCormick, Johnston, Columbia, Winnsboro, Lancaster and many smaller towns on the way. We visited the "Peach Capital of the World" and "South Carolina's First Tree City" and Dizzy Gillespie's hometown. Surprisingly most of the downtowns were rehabbed and in really good shape with most of the store fronts filled which was great to see in the middle of nowhere.

As part of my travels I like to eat some local food so I posted on The Hive asking for suggestions and got a few but the thread turned into a keep us posted thread on what I did which was kind of neat that people were interested in my progress. Early on I received the suggestion to look for a sign along the way and it's below (I liked Clinton but I still think it's classic). Another sign is below that and my coworker spotted it and snapped the photo. Both are in Newberry, SC.





The Historic Newberry Opera House that has quite the lineup of national and regional acts that pass through.
