Sidewall Pizza is Popular in Travelers Rest

Known for FULL-SIZE, loaded pizzas…you will never go away hungry at this establishment. This place is always hopping. With its simplistic exterior and casual setting, it is a great spot for cyclist to stop and dine. Complete with bike racks, it sits adjacent to the Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail. For those readers not familiar with the Upstate, the trail is a 21 mile multi-use green-way system that runs along the Reedy River connecting Greenville County with schools, parks, and local…

It was great meeting fellow bloggers, who upon receiving their first course for the night’s dinner, pulled out their phones to take pictures. I always feel awkward doing this when I dine with my husband. Being a blogger, I am the stereotypical introvert. Getting out of my routine work environment (home) and talking to complete strangers about my blog was a huge step for me. I did enjoy the fellowship and conversing with Johnathan Anderson – author of Yeah That Greenville Guide, Tiffany Anderson and Tiffany Paraskevas, blogger at Macarons and Coffee Ambience of…
