I spent my 27th birthday (again) in Greenville, SOUTH Carolina. Why there? Joel used to work there and knew the area. I had a wonderful tour guide who showed me one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen - the cleanest city I've ever seen - and one with so much to do, with so many people - yet waitresses said it was a "slow night."
The city was actually based upon designs from San Antonio, but offers a European flair. To me, it resembled Old Quebec City in Canada. Outdoor cafes, boutiques, trees and a sense of style and fashion.
Several years ago, city leaders hired a consultant to help them formulate a direction. They learned a river and wonderful waterfall were underneath a state road that ran through town. It took some convincing, but the state tore up the road, exposing what is now one of the most popular places to go. A very unusual footbridge crosses the river so you can stand and watch the waterfall for hours.
So, if you're like me and stayed on I-85 en route to Atlanta, I strongly encourage you to spend time in downtown Greenville, SOUTH Carolina. I'll go back!
