Easley

So I found the Libertarians philosophically and also practically [laughs] in twen- in 2000, and have been voting Libertarian ever since.

In 2012, we moved from the upstate of South Carolina, which is the Easley, Greenville, Spartanburg area.

We moved from that region of the state into Columbia, which is our, the center of the state.

It's our state capital.

I used to go to the Rainbow on Poinsett.

I went to the one in Easley.

Shout out.

Yeah.

But I liked Washington better.

I was at Liberty High School's shorter period of time, but I played football there.

I didn't get to play for Easley High School.

How many games did you win?

Yeah, we drove down to...

Around Easley, South Carolina.

See Jamie's sister for a couple, three or four days.

Is

And they're

right by the track.

And I was about 20 minutes away from Easley, the paved RC facility.

And then...

Coach, I know you've got to take it one game at a time, you and your staff, but just so you know, it's gonna be a lot of fun for the fans.

You've got Laurens coming up, got Greenwood, Easley, Westside.

This is gonna be a great finish to the season.

And you just keep the Rolaids close.

The Stallions defeat Indian Land 35-20.

That's the first time Indian Land has lost to anybody other than Northwestern in, like, 17 games.

West, uh, West Side disposed of Easley last night 55 to three.

So that's, you got South Point in the upstate in 4A, you've got West Side in the upstate in 4A, you've got Gaffney up there.

But before I get too excited and do that and spill the beans, like, I want you to go ahead and kind of introduce yourself, if you don't mind.

Yeah, man, just Eric Seymour with Rise from Easley, South Carolina.

Grew up in Easley, lived a bunch of different places over about a 20-year stretch.

Ended up back here, back home, and just excited to be with you today, man.

We got a chance to meet, I guess, probably a month ago.

So I just have to disagree with that a little bit.

Tony loves the show from Easley, South Carolina, home of the Green Wave.

Clint's an Easley grad.

Home of the Green Wave.

Um, blah, blah, blah.

Super easy to grow.

Mushroom Mountain, a company down in Easley, South Carolina.

Highly recommend that company.

You need spawn substrate if you want to take classes about learning to grow mushrooms.

I'm Katie Smith with Greater Good Greenville, and on this episode of Simple Civics Greenville County, we feature interviews with your candidates for State House of Representatives District 5, Republican Neal Collins and Democrat David Jones.

District 5 generally covers Pickens County and parts of western Greenville County, primarily including the Easley and Dacusville areas.

Here's how the interviews worked.

All candidates received the same questions at the time of their invitation to join us, and they were given 10 minutes for their interview.

So I've been serving in the House of Representatives for 12 years now.

I'm now serving on Ways and Means Committee and Ethics Committee.

But outside of serving in the legislature, I'm the managing partner of our small law firm here in Easley.

And I practice family law, so a lot of divorces.

In the late 1870s, the Charlotte and Atlanta Railway bolstered the economy, as did the textile industry.

And we were just in Pickens County two episodes ago, so we were in Easley.

But in 1972, you know, manufacturing played a big role in Pickens County's economy forever.

And there were 99 manufacturing plants, actually, in 1972 in Pickens County.
