Greenville, SC - A bit of the West End (and a bonus too)
 
About a month a go the family and I were passing through Greenville, SC. I had visited the city several times before, but not with the wife & daughter. We had some time (about an hour or so) before dinner and decided to check out how the revitalization of the West End of the downtown area was going.

btw, here's a dandy tour of Greenville hauntedheadnc did not too long ago:

Nice set. I went to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach quite a bit on family trips when I was growing up.

You've gotta love Falls Park. How many other cities have a signature urban park that includes genuine falls smack dab in the middle of downtown? That place is magnetic.

Matthew Apr 29, 2012 4:53 AM

When I lived near Asheville (in Henderson County, which borders Greenville County), I would go to Greenville often. It has something new to see every time. It's a great city and is as beautiful as it looks in photographs. There are also great neighborhoods nearby too. It's been a while since I was in Greenville. I remember the new building (in number 36) was under construction around the last time I was there (almost topped-out). There are a few more under construction for my next visit. :D Great city and thank you for sharing.

Onward Apr 29, 2012 9:15 AM

Great shot's of Greenville, honestly don't find myself up there that often prefer Charlotte but its still a great place. Loved the pics of South Of The Border as well. That place cracks me up everytime I pass by:haha:

fern Apr 29, 2012 12:22 PM

Greenville looks great as does the beach, it's been raining here for days :( I crave some sunshine!

tdawg Apr 29, 2012 12:35 PM

Greenville has one of the most pleasant and bustling downtowns for a city its size I've been to, especially in the South.

hauntedheadnc Apr 29, 2012 1:46 PM

Great pics, Ex-Ith. Thanks for the shout out, too.

LSyd Apr 30, 2012 12:00 AM

great pics. my wife went there last week to see Les Mis (sadly work kept me from going) and was saying how much she missed the upstate. now i remember why.

ColDayMan Apr 30, 2012 3:31 AM

Great shots!

whatsthepoint13 Apr 30, 2012 2:38 PM

I've always been amazed by Greenville's downtown; the vibrancy, beauty, and most importantly, they really did the tree canopies right. It looks beautiful! Thank you.

Michi Apr 30, 2012 2:45 PM

I visited Greenville for the first time a few weeks ago. Instantly one of my favorite cities...at least downtown! The beauty of the gateway spur also bumped up my rating! (it's the little things) :)

Danny Apr 30, 2012 3:12 PM

Thanks for your pics!

I like those falls in the river crossing the city. It´s amazing.

Very nice city. Nice buildings and park, very green and plesant.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.:tup:

Ex-Ithacan May 1, 2012 5:16 PM

Thanks for all the replies and positive comments about Greenville. Gotta say I'm a fan of the place too.

simms3_redux May 2, 2012 2:04 AM

Greenville is definitely one of the shining stars of new urbanism in the south. You captured it well.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7195/7...09a1f8e5_b.jpg

ah, the ol' mexican standoff.

nice photos, chappy. i'm not sure if i love or hate that falls park. the falls are nice, but the area around it ... eh, i'd love it if i lived there.

Evergrey May 2, 2012 4:16 PM

Wow.. your photos look better than ever, Ith! I hope you treat us to many small city travels this year!
