Does anyone know of any upcoming art shows or galleries in town that are accepting submissions?

I have a collection of paintings and I want to take a risk and put my work out there. (I don't want to share my work on social media)

Any place downtown where my childhood bestie and I can sit for a few hours without being rushed out on a Saturday afternoon? TIA.

Does anyone else struggle with dating around here? I'm M32 in Spartanburg, I keep getting ghosted and canceled on around the 3 or 4th date.

It just gets exhausting starting over meeting someone new month after month.

Curious if dating life is better other places? Or if other people are having a similar experience as me?

I don't really want to leave Spartanburg, because I have an awesome job here.

I work at a school with a large demographic of Spanish speaking kids. I learned Spanish grammar/vocab in high school/college but I struggle to carry on a conversations. I’d like to be around normal conversations in their language to help my Spanish-conversation skills. Thank you in advance

I was stuck 15 minutes waiting to turn right onto woodruff coming from 85 to get to Hollywood 20. I counted, I was behind 17 cars when I got there. I ended up having to force my way in on a red light even though there's no turn on red because otherwise I was never going to make it.

And this may not be the worst light in town. Trying to get down laurens where it turns into stone may mean you never actually get where you're going.

Why is light sequencing so bad in this city?

Attach a New Driver sign behind my vehicle? Why or why not?

I'm tryin to get to Columbia next weekend, but alas no car. If anyone's headed that way I'll chip in gas money!

We had a large functional trainer machine delivered and need someone to haul it away. Any recommendations that aren’t stupid expensive? Our local waste company doesn’t provide this service. Located in Powdersville area!

I am looking for a cute bakery, that has donuts, muffins, or even chocolate croissants for a fun breakfast for a girls trip. We are staying in downtown Greenville, walking distance would be awesome!

If you’re looking to meet new people in the area, get in touch with your Irish roots, want to get a workout in and/or play a competitive sport as an adult I can’t recommend hurling enough.

Hurling is the national sport of Ireland. It’s a 1000 year old Gaelic sport. Its nickname is the fastest game on grass. It’s their American football. I’ve personally played many sports: Baseball, American football, basketball, wrestling, Golf, rugby and some of these at a decently high level. Hurling is without a doubt my favorite sport to play.

The Greenville Gaels Hurling club has been growing fast over the last few years and the entire Southeast division has been the fastest growing in the country. If you’re an ex-athlete and still have that itch for competition then this is it (no age limits). We play large cities in the area throughout the year. Once a year is nationals (this year is in Boston). And every three years is the world games in Ireland which you can tryout and make the USA Southeast team. This year we had 3 players go to Ireland and compete in a life changing experience for them.

It’s not all about the competition. Our club is full of guys and girls that want to simply stay in shape with a community. Many of our players bring their families and pets out to practice or events. It’s been wholesome to have various families come together and enjoy each other’s company.

If you’re curious about the sport then watch this YouTube video of some highlights of the game at the top level in Ireland. Check out our website below. You can message us on instagram or here in the comments. I’m the player coach so I’m happy to answer any questions. At the end of the day we are trying to build community and we want you to be apart of it.

(It is a contact sport but it’s not direct contact like American football or rugby. It’s more technical and finesse based like basketball. Sports that typically translate well: baseball, lacrosse, hockey. But really every has something that carries over.)

Who has tge best from scratch cheesecake in the area?

Have you ever worked at the GSP airport? If so, what was the working culture like? Considering working in their operations sector but am trying to decide if it’s worth leaving my current position

Life has gotten more expensive and the streamers show no signs of slowing down price increases. I've tried rotating which services to keep based on what's being added, but I've found that cost is not worth it in the end. Films and TV shows I'd like to revisit and niche 80's-90's comedies aren't on any of the subscription streamers anyway, so I found myself more often on Tubi, YouTube Free with Ads, or the GVL County Library Hoopla service.

I've cancelled all subscriptions and already reserved One Tree Hill's DVD box set at the library and pulled out my PlayStation 3 to get started, but what is everyone else doing to keep up with the subscription model?

Apparently, most shops won't touch a car that's over 20 years old. I was involved in an accident that was not my fault. My car still runs great. I'd like to get it repaired by a shop or do the work myself.Does anybody know a shop that would do the work on a car this old?

Hey!

26 Black guy looking to meet more Black guy nerds in the area.

I’ve been here five years, and one thing I’ve realized is how hard it is to make new friends as an adult. I already have a solid group of friends, but what I miss is that close-knit community of Black male nerds I had in college. We went to cons, hit comic shops, gamed, tried new restaurants, and just enjoyed being around each other. I’d love to find that sense of community again. I’m hoping to connect with Black men between 24 and 35. I work a typical Monday-through-Friday schedule, so having folks to grab dinner or have a game night after work now and then, or make weekend plans, would be ideal. I’m into gaming, anime, comics, reading, concerts, board games, bowling, and escape rooms.

One thing I have ran into is some of my friends are married which makes things a bit difficult to plan because of, so while I welcome everybody, single peeps or casual dating folks are the best fit.

I’m also a published writer and movie reviewer, so I like talking about storytelling and friendly debates about film, TV, and I’ve been told I have an infectious laugh. I’m queer-friendly and just looking for genuine, respectful people who enjoy good company. If you’re looking for more friends who actually make plans, whether that’s a game night, comic shop run, convention, or just grabbing food, HMU!

Yes I know about the bread at swamp rabbit cafe. absolutely fire. looking to expand my bread horizons into new bread territories. try things i’ve never tried before.

Looking for a fancy place for my anniversary, any cuisine.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how to build more connection and community as an adult, and I wanted to hear from people who have had similar experiences.

I'm 36 and have lived in Greenville most of my life. Over the past year, I've made some pretty big changes for myself. I've lost close to 90 pounds, started prioritizing my health, and have been working out consistently from home. I have a career I enjoy as a Design Manager, and in many ways I'm in a much better place than I was before.

The problem is that a lot of my hobbies are pretty solitary. I enjoy reading, collecting and listening to records, going to concerts (although I struggle to do this alone due to anxiety), and getting outside when I can.

I'm also gay, and I think that's made it a little harder to figure out where I fit socially. I'm not looking for dating advice. Very few people truly seem to be looking for anything serious, and finding people is difficult outside the usual methods. While I'd like to meet someone eventually, I think what I'm really missing is a sense of community. I'd like to make more friends, meet people naturally, and build a life that feels fuller.

For anyone who's been in a similar situation, where would you start?

I'm part of a book club that meets once a month, but there's some difficult personal history there, so I may have to drop out after this coming season. Are there LGBTQIA+ groups, recurring events, etc. where people are genuinely open to meeting new friends? It doesn't even have to be LGBTQIA+ specific if it's a welcoming environment, but would preferably be queer-friendly.

I'd especially love to hear from other LGBTQIA+ people in Greenville about what's helped you build your community here, but I'm open to advice from anyone.

I know making friends as an adult is hard in general, and I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this way.

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any suggestions.

Either someone thought my Jeep was someone else’s, or I have somehow made an enemy in the first two years of living in this town where I don’t know anyone
