The midnight choice of Catherine Barry
Spartanburg County and America’s 250th birthday: Truth, rumor and poetry fuel the story of an American heroine
Sometime on the evening of Jan. 15, 1781, Margaret Catherine Moore Barry pulled on her coat and got ready to ride off through the woods and countryside near her home in Roebuck, S.C.
The night was wintry cold and dangerous for riding, and Barry would normally have been asleep beside her newborn who was less than three months old.

Susan High’s journey of faith, service and hope
When Susan High first felt a nudge in her spirit, she had no idea all that the Lord had in store.
It was 2003, and she was driving to pick up her daughter from band camp. “All of a sudden, I’m praying and crying over women that work in strip clubs,” she remembers. “They hadn’t been on my radar, I didn’t know any of those ladies, and I was like, ‘Jesus, what was that all about?’”
Her question, however, was met with quiet.

Spartanburg Homeless: Where do we go from here?
A lot of work and support needed for the long haul
The next time you see a homeless person in a public place in Spartanburg, unless they are carrying a sign asking for help, walking the street with luggage, or pass you in a too-packed vehicle reminiscent of the 1940 movie ‘The Grapes of Wrath’, odds are you won’t ever suspect that they are homeless.
Because homelessness now includes many working people only one paycheck or big life event from losing even a basic apartment due to increased rents and unattainable housing costs.
