On my way to Charleston to see our grandchildren, I always like to get an American Volkssport Accosiaion (AVA) walk in. This time we stopped in Spartanburg, South Carolina, for an eclectic walk down Main Street. 
I have to say what a cool town this is. Up in the northeast part of South Carolina in the eastern foothills of the Appalachian Mountain Range, this town is undergoing a renaissance. It's home to Denny's restaurant corporate office. The building towers over the downtown that is full of restaurants and specialty shops.
The walk starts at the downtown YMCA through some beautiful neighborhoods. After this, you end up on Spartanburg's long Main Street. As you approach the center of town, Denny's office tower is visible in the distance. 
At one end of the center of town is a restaurant row, where they have closed the street and offer outside dining because of the COVID crisis. Near this is a clock tower square that ties the whole downtown together. From here, the walk continues on the Palmetto Trail part of the course. This is just part of the trail that crosses all of South Carolina. Then back to the YMCA for the finish.
After the walk, I go back to Venus Pie Pizza that I passed on the walk. It's the best New York Style pizza I've had in a long time. After stuffing myself with pizza, it off to Charleston.
