True South Carolinians will know what this is! Don't trust someone from SC otherwise ;)
Everything you could hope for in a Peachoid, and more. The more being the Fatz next door. All you can eat ribs are awesome.
The Peachoid is a local gem. Made famous by House of Cards Frank U. hometown in Gaffney, the Peachoid, continues to bring joy to all that pass it. The Peachoid was painted once a couple years ago and then repainted to reflect more of a peach appearance in 2017. It looked pretty good to me with both paint jobs.
It was a super neat place to stop and take a photo. I didn't know there was a restaurant at the base of the water tower, so maybe next time we are in town we will try Fatz at the Peachoid. The Peachoid itself is a memorial to Jack E. Millwood, which made stopping at a giant peach water tower even better.
My only suggestion would be to bring bug spray and wear tennis shoes.
What great way to dress up an ordinarily prosaic bit of infrastructure! It makes me smile whenever I pass it on I-85. It's a short detour off the interstate, and the bonus is the opportunity to stop by Abbott's Farm store, where you can purchase everything peach and more. Try the peach and muscadine ciders.
Visited for the Great Eclipse of 2017. The 'oid was fun when traffic prevented arriving in Greenville in time. A few concrete picnic tables and a paved path around the tower - that's it. Watch out for the fire ants!
Just drove by this on I-85. It was a life changing experience. After the numerous adult stores and strip clubs you have to pass by to get to it, it's refreshing to see such a family friendly and welcoming attraction.
Also it looks like a big butt.
The big Peach is easily seen from I-85. It's how we know we are halfway to our vacation distanation! We did not know that there were picnic and grills under it. A quite well maintained little park to stretch your legs and let the kids run around. The only bad thing was that the gate to the park was locked the day we went by but the park is easily accessible from the Fatz parking lot.
WARNING: the ants in the grass will give a painful bite! Beware! As for the tower Photos cannot do it justice. Must see. #underwood2020
Great water tower. Lots of water, very impressive!!!
The Peachoid is so stupid and awesome all at the same time. It's definitely worth the 2 minute drive off of the freeway to take in its glory. Huge parking area behind Fatz Cafe, and plenty of spots to take silly pictures with what appears to be a giant orange butt.
The Peachoid was featured in season 1 House of Cards as a major plot line, so this is a must-see for any HoC mega-fans.
I'm mad because this tower almost costed Frank Underwoods term lol and killed that poor girl
