Living Here

A Greer resident is sharing his stories with the world, and he hopes they will be relatable and entertaining.

“Lurieville and Other Stories,” a collection of short stories written by Stephen N. Corbin, was recently released and is currently available at Amazon.com.

For a few hours last Thursday, Woodland Elementary was under the direction of students.

The students, who are learning to become leaders using the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, welcomed community members, families and faculty from other schools as part of an annual Leadership Day.

For more than 15 years, Ron and Gail Eanes had been providing and serving food for the Greer Soup Kitchen as a way of reaching a community in need.  But in 2015, the Eanes decided that something needed to be done for those who were hungry and homeless in Wellford, Lyman, Duncan, Startex, and Jackson.

With renowned rock violinist Mark Wood, Spartanburg District Five students learned more than just how to play rock music on their stringed instruments.

Listeners have a chance to keep the light on at WPJM 800 AM by supporting the Gospel radio station’s month-long radio thon.

It’s been 28 years since WPJM the Light’s owner and general manager Bobby Cohen began broadcasting Gospel radio from the station on Tryon Street.

Spirit may be an immeasurable characteristic, but at Greer Middle College Charter High School, the amount of money raised is telling of just how much students care for each other.

Senior projects may be required at Greer Middle College, but several students are going beyond what is required this year.
