When I first heard mention of Greenville, South Carolina, I had to look at a map to learn exactly where it is. Little did I know that it has received rave reviews from major newspapers and magazines. It didn’t take long after I got there to agree with those accolades.
My first impression after arriving was the inviting setting. Greenville is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. While its population (about 70,000) gives it small-city status, the atmosphere in many ways resembles that of a small town. Adding to the attraction is a unique blend of traditional Southern charm and cosmopolitan cool.
