Description

The attached three photos showcase what we find to be three of the more popular places around Clemson University, and thus the town of Clemson, South Carolina. These snapshots capture a glimpse into daily life in the Upstate of South Carolina. Beginning with Bowman Field and Tillman Hall in the background, this sentimental place for the university is home for many historical and special events. In addition, this open green provides a public space for students, as well as other people, to gather and/or enjoy private time. Many sunny days find students lounging on the green studying, throwing Frisbee, or perhaps building a “Habitat for Humanity” house. Other special events experienced here are Homecoming, where all the floats are built by the different organizations on campus. Several memorials are also found in the vicinity highlighting the different classes and achievements of the university. Tillman Hall, dedicated in 1891, was originally called the Agriculture Building. It is home to the melodious bell tower chiming at the top of each hour. The second picture of Lake Hartwell, and in particular the Seneca River, is a popular recreational spot. Lake Hartwell is a man made lake fed by the Seneca River. Duke Power built the system of lakes encompassing Hartwell for the generation of electricity. Lake Hartwell exists as a “fill-in” lake meaning it was not actually carved out of the land, but rather is a flood plain. Sailing, motor boating, and kayaking activities can often be seen in this spot. Crew clubs also enjoy this spot on the water early mornings on weekdays as they practice. A walking trail exists along the lake on top of the dam as well. “Chick-Fil-A” has perhaps become one of the more popular eating spots not only in Clemson, South Carolina, but also in the Southeastern United States. The restaurant chain obviously serves great chicken on a fast food basis, and is a staple at most Clemson football tailgates! There is a branch on the university campus as well. Chick-Fil-A supports many different school programs from Primary school all the way to the university level. It is an integral part of a greater restaurant “row,” which is located along the gateway to the town of Clemson, South Carolina. These three separate entities summarize best what Clemson, South Carolina has to offer not only its students, but the surrounding population as well. The before- mentioned photos highlight public spaces enjoyed by both students and residents.
