One of our local TV stations (WYFF News 4) this evening at 6:00pm aired a story about the overall success during this past weekend's Fall For Greenville festival. Of special note during the broadcast was the mention of several people planning to visit downtown more often, and one man interviewed went so far as to say that he now plans to purchase a condo downtown in addition to his suburban home - all as a result of the attractive and celebratory atmosphere felt during the festival.This is one of the reasons Greenville is such a special place. Street festivals have been a common way of life for many years, but the 3 decade old (and counting) continuing revitalization of our beautiful downtown has created the best possible venue for such events. The reward is proving to be well worth the amount of time and money spent, along with the other stress endured and barriers crossed to make this place what it is today. The future is even brighter as a new downtown master plan is currently being developed by Sasaki Associates of Boston, with the help of the City and many local citizens. A website called Plan-It Greenville is available to anyone interested in helping the City develop a plan that will work for everyone living here in the future.

Yes and one of the reasons I want to live in Greenville, downtown Greenville.
Every time I am downtown Greenville, I feel so inspired, joyful, at peace, encouraged, motivated, and endless possibilities for me creatively, socially, and spiritually.
Annslittleone, thank you for the comment and I really hope you will be able to move to Greenville someday soon! Your feelings are precisely how I feel about this city.
Thanks for your wishes for me Justin. I don't know when God wants me to be there but my goal is sometime next spring if not sooner. I do make day trips whenever I can since it is only 2 hrs away.
