Hey all, just wanted to reach out and see if any of you folks know any local sources or people with information (maps, pictures, etc.) about the Pickens railroad, specifically no later than the 70s. I'm a 20 year resident of Easley with an equally long interest in all things locomotive. I'm really just looking for anything besides surface level wiki info as I want to possibly make a comprehensive record out of the things I find. It's really just a niche passion project. I've come across some archival stuff at the online database at USC and a couple videos on YouTube, but thats about it. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Enjoyed having 1 day off. Now back out to helping get more power back on. Six mile area today.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has been on Doodle trail since the hurricane? How was the condition of the trail? Is it safe to bike right now? Thanks in advance! I haven't been able to get through to Easley Parks & Rec to ask them.

Psa if you call spectrum and let them know of an outage they update their database, also you can asked to be credited for downtime as well.

Does anyone know when spectrum will have WiFi back up

Who is shooting off fireworks right now lol

Has anyone noticed the uptick in methheads? Don’t they know that stuff will kill them?

Wednesday, August 14th from 9:00 - 11:30 am at the TCTC Easley Campus for a job fair filled with employers who are actively hiring!

Anyone else has a power outage. We at Saluda dam rd and 153 area

Looking to go bike riding on the doodle trail and looking for a group or a friend to go with

I have a band called manse Jolly and we need a lead singer around the age of 15 to 20 if you know anyone let me know

Hey y'all, My family and I are looking to move to South Carolina soon. We have two young girls and really want to find a town with other young families and strong community. We are not familiar with the area, but Easley is within our price range. I'd love to hear from y'all what the pros and cons of Easley are. And if there are any other towns we should also consider. We have family in Rock Hill, Charlotte, and Atlanta.

If you’re looking to get to know new people, get out of the house, or become a part of something bigger than your own space, think about joining us in Discord at the Upstate SC Community Project.

Who are we?

We’re a diverse group of folks from all over the Upstate of SC as well as some out of state folks looking to move here. There are members in professions from healthcare to I.T. to childcare and more. We are a professionally diverse group and someone will certainly relate to your work joys and woes. Age-wise, we run from early 20’s to late 40’s with more folks in their early to mid 30’s.

Our Mission:

Our goal is to create not only an online community of people who support and befriend each other, but to bring that to the real world as well. We do that in a few ways. Each month, we have a larger group meetup with food, drinks, games, and casual hanging out. People from different professions are always willing to lend their experience and expertise to each other. We get together to help each other with gardening, yard work, and more when jobs were too big for one person. We aim to not just be words on a screen, but part of each others’ lives off the screen. In addition to monthly group meetups, many members meet regularly for lunch, dinner, or even the occasional breakfasts.

We’ve been a valuable resource for folks moving to the area. It’s great to have local friends when you get here who can recommend good fried chicken, ramen, a reliable mechanic, or where a good place for a day hike may be. Moving is lonely business and our members who have moved here have been delighted to show up already knowing people who want to help them start a new life in our great area.

If having new friends, being part of something bigger, or having great local resources to help you expand and grow sound like something you could use in your life, give us a try!

Hello! Wanted to make it known I created a facebook group for pet parents who use Hagood Park so we can all chat and create meetups! If you frequent the park with your doggo, please join! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1064145675365430

I have a few empty spots I'd like to fill in with something other than grass in my garden, but I'm at a loss here. I've only been in the area for about 2 years and haven't had much luck with the few natives I was able to look up and subsequently find. I've been trying to find a nursery where I could get some and maybe ask the questions that I have on helping them thrive with answers better than "Uhhh, check Google" 😆

Is anyone able to help? It's not a very large area and I just want to have something pretty to look at that also helps the pollinators. I've helped too many plants meet their maker unintentionally 😂🤣

There is 4 friendly big dogs running around rivers edge

The Upstate Roller Girl Evolution, Easley's local roller derby league, is hosting a boot camp this Monday and Wednesday.

No experience skating? No problem, we teach you everything you need to know. Many skaters don't know how to skate when they first come!

Think you are too old, too out of shape, or not the right size to skate? We welcome everyone from 18-100 and all bodies are welcomed.

Don't want to skate but curious? We are always looking for people who want to be refs or volunteers to work our bouts. You can have a fabulous time supporting your local league without learning a new skill.

For more information, check out our FB event

Hello! Has anyone been to the giant book warehouse that does the big sales once a month? I am planning on going this Saturday and would love to know how it really is, as in lines, parking, actual book stocks. Thanks!

Someone fell from about 40 feet up. Anybody know why/how it happened, and if she survived?

Hello everyone,

I have an issue with my mother and her husband. They need to send some documents tomorrow and are very urgent but they have part of them in his phone and does not know how to print them. Can anyone please help them do this please? I’ll really appreciate your help, I know it’s a weird request but I couldn’t figure out something else. I live in another state and can’t easily drive to help them. It’s not much but I can transfer you 50 bucks. It would be ideal if you speaks Spanish as well.

I lived in Easley in the late 80s/early 90s and there was a playground across the street from my house, I lived on the corner of hagood and front street next to the Methodist church. I was back in Easley in 2006, and it was still there. Recently I was in google maps and it was gone. Does anyone know when it was torn down?
