The new edition of TR Traveler is just out--and I have a newly revised historical article in it about local NASCAR connections. It includes photos from Daniel Crowe, shooting for Contec of Spartanburg, which sponsored a car this year.

Sorry to be so long in posting here, but we've been busy with a new business venture to keep a landmark building here in TR under local ownership and operation, while also keeping it as a local music venue. Some details here (I'm sure you'll recognize the building).

Starting a whole new thing here in downtown Travelers Rest--a CoWorking Space!
We're doing a soft opening--just a section at a time--and want our friends in TR to have the first opportunity to join us before we go fully public.
If you're interested, come take a look upstairs--our first section will be opening very soon.
Your opportunity to get in on the "top floor" :)

Showing spaces daily as requested, so let me know here if you'd like to drop by for a quick tour of the first coworking area to open in the center of TR.

Last Friday I noticed that a building with some history to it was quietly being demolished on Main Street TR, behind Kramer's small houses. Anyone else know the history of the little building in the back?

Had an opportunity to talk with Rex a few years back, while he was still living in the little house on Main. Some amazing TR memories among his stories. A loss for TR.

At one point, it was a commodity — probably the first gas station in Travelers Rest, South Carolina. Today, it’s an old, graying spectacle of a building that no one who passes can soon forget. Folks who drive into town on South 276 with any frequency remember it’s on the right, just across the...
