I really only go back to campus for ballgames now. CSCC used to organize autocrosses out behind the WEZ in that large parking lot a few times per semester. Its low speed stuff but still fun.

Bacon Brothers just one exit south of the airport (Pelham Rd) also SBH BBQ. But you really should go to downtown GVL too, really nice. It gets written up in travel magazines all the time.

If you ever drive down here the roads in Blue Ridge mtns are exceptional. I85 traffic not so much!

Second vote for Bacon Brothers in Gvegas, off Pelham. There are several good restaurants there at that exit on Pelham but BB is the one I go to.

In Clemson, Blue Heron is a slightly more upscale spot and its good, but I go to Smoking Pig on the way to/from Anderson when I go down there usually.
