And I agree, people in the upstate are so excited about our 9 story federally subsidized building on Main. Now they are talking about building the tallest building in SC when we are emptying out downtown buildings to fill a new building. Make a ton of sense, almost as much as building a 300 room hotel when vacancy rates are below 70% and average room rates are terrible.....must be more grant money from the Feds at work.
You sure do get hung up on the strangest things. I'd think you'd worry less if you checked your facts, or cared less about what people's rumors are, but maybe you enjoy fretting over petty things..? I really don't understand.

I get the same feeling driving up to Charlotte too. Driving thru spartanburg is just depressing. Just wish that one section was wider as well.
What's depressing about the Spartanburg section of 85? Most of it is 6 lines at 70mph with very little business development, unless you're referring to the business loop? The last couple of miles near the Spartanburg Cherokee line are the only real issue, with only four lanes.
I wasn't talking about active projects. Just in general. I went to college there. I used to be down there monthly (from Columbia) for work. I know all about it. The maintenance for I-26 tapers off after the I-95 split i.e. where a lot of tourists come through the state. You will notice a massive difference as you drive into the Summerville area of 26 when the road goes from two lanes to four. And let's not forget the continuing construction at Ashley Phosphate. Or is that done finally?
And I will agree that in Spartanburg the part of 85 from the 85-business split to wear it drops back to two lanes is a nice stretch. A lot better than some places.
Gov. Haley is on WORD 106.3 FM every month for a listener call in show. She was just on yesterday and I missed it (they have it on podcast). I would try to see what day in June she will be on and call in and ask her about what the plans are.
Looks like I'm not the only one that thinks our roadsides are overgrown and garbage-filled.
