used to be a great place to camp near town before they took away the awesome mulch pile to build that stupid outdoor education center

looks like they were scurred of the ‘getto’

Google has yet to map the entire city of Spartanburg. Greenville, Gaffney ... most of the podunk nowhere towns are fully mapped. Spartanburg—fourth or fifth largest city in the state if I remember correctly—nothing. It must be a giant Google ghetto.

Oh, I tell a lie. It looks like they actually started to fill it in. Spartanburg is now less of a Google ghetto.

This is at least a year old, because the Hot Spot Skatepark was still under constuction.
