Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Tire shop?

I’m looking for a shop that’ll throw a new tire on my truck and do a rotate and balance. The other 3 tires are pretty new, but there’s too much of a difference in the tread for Walmart to do it (ordered from there).

Thank y’all.

Call to Action against Flock

At the July meeting, councilman Mo Abusaft kicked off a discussion about Flock cameras, in hopes that the council will entertain a ban on using county funding for them.

We need to let our council know where we stand. Please call or email your council member and ask them to ban county funding from being used to purchase ALPR (not just Flock, but any vendor who makes this tech) devices and software access.

If you need talking points or sources, here are a few resources:

Have you had any REALLY good peaches in the past week or two? If so, where did you find them?

I am visiting this weekend.* I grew up in the area, but I am now a couple of decades removed. When I was a kid, my family used to pinpoint whoever had great peaches at any point during the summer-- whether a specific farm, farm stand, a guy selling out of the back of his truck, etc. Where I live now, you technically can grow peaches, but they don't hold a candle to upstate SC peaches. So I am taking a load back with me to share with friends.

So if you've had any particularly good peaches in the past week or two, where did you find them? Which farm, which market, what variety, which random guy on the side of the road, etc. Any specifics are welcome! I'll pursue all of them, haha!

*I inquired this time last year, and y'all delivered. Looking forward to what you know this year, as I know crops can vary from year to year.

Cool S Soccer Club

I took your advice and went with the cool S. I also ended up taking inspiration from afc Richmond, using the dog from the original spartan regiment design as the primary figure for the design. I think it came out nicely for something I as just playing around with.

Summer storms

For those of you new to the Piedmont area, what do you think of our late day thunderstorms? I think some people are surprised at our “subtropical climate”.

Homophobia at Nu-Way

For context I’m from Spartanburg and well aware of the culture. However, Came here with my mom and husband, was met with REALLY intense homophobic slurs after ordering a drink. I worked in dive bars(bartending and barbacking in west avl, which obviously I know is different world away, however it’s 2026), I couldn’t tell if it was supposed to be edgy humor or the person behind the bar was having some sort of schizophrenic episode. It was a lot though, to the point of being extremely off putting, and I could see it was making the other people working pretty uncomfortable. This was bad, and unfortunately I’m gonna have to make sure a lot more people hear about it.

Replacing the flock camera

They just replaced the flock camera on Fernwood Glendale Rd. The one that’s looking at the daycare. I guess whoever takes it out next time should get rid of the pole too

Anyone having issue with spectrum mobile?

Both my hubby and I cant call anyone and when someone calls us we cant pick up the phone call it drops automically. Just hangs up. Our bills are paid yes. We tried calling anyone on a different carrier still no luck. Is this a nationwide issue or an issue with spartanburg spectrum towers? Texting works.

Why are there so many russians moving to upstate sc? Am i the only one seeing the “problem” coming. Next 5 years and upstate sc wont be recognizable anymore. #9 boiling springs turned from farm land to a parking lot in 6 years.
Why do people flock to an area that has land, just to build it up into a “miniature city”. Why not just move to a city that is already established…
Not looking good for the next 10-20 years.

People build something nice and others want to be apart of it. Not realizing they are part of the problem making it turn worse

If only the grandchildren would stop selling the grandparents 100 acres for a dollar.

Still…. The Ukrainians and russians are coming in hot. getting tax breaks. Having 7 kids wife dont work. Make it make sense.

Shooting around Old Greenville Road/Old County Parish Road/Fairforest

Anyone know anything about the shooting that happened at 4pm near the Valley Creek apartments? I live in the complex and heard 1 gunshot, there’s police everywhere taking statements etc. but I’m not clear on what happened except that someone may have died. It seems possible that the shooter(s) could be at large still, I saw a tracking K-9. Stay safe y’all!!
