Yep, the sole reason we put Greenville on the map and parked the rig there was so we could eat a hamburger at a legendary place called Northgate Soda Shop that has been dishing up good eats since 1947.
With burgers in our bellies (and milkshakes and fries and onion rings), it was time to head downtown and see why all the fuss over Greenville's downtown and just why it has been ranked among "America's Ten Best" by Forbes Magazine. Greenville sits at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains which automatically instills scenic charm, outdoor adventure, and southern charm. The downtown melds together natural beauty and contemporary cool. The revitalized downtown is attractive and inviting. Falls Park is a large regional park with gardens, paths, and waterfalls that makes the downtown super attractive and popular. The $15 million park brought the downtown back from decline. The centerpiece of the park is the Liberty Bridge which spans the Reedy River and links together shopping and eateries nestled amongst modern buildings and theaters.
Our day in Greenville passed quickly but we vowed to come back and spend more time exploring the city and visiting the many attractions that make this city so interesting and hip.
Who the hell is that guy? Anyway we are in Myrtle Beach. Oh so close.
ReplyDeleteHey Rhonda! We are in Grayton Beach and will be here all winter. Are you coming our way?
DeleteNow you've done it--I will be forced to eat hamburgers going across the country--the cowboy ordered Hamburger America! :))
ReplyDeleteYea sorry about that! That book is certainly not good for the waistline.
DeleteYes we will be in Grayton in the new year I can't remember the dates. Been having a stressful week with Lulu. Check out our blog in the next couple of days. It will tell all. Take care
ReplyDeleteBrandon's extended family lives in Greenville (he did as a kid), but we've never been to that hamburger place. We'll be there next month and may have to check it out. We hope yo see you on the road sometime!
ReplyDeleteGreenville was such a pleasant surprise. Seems like there are a lot of good restaurants too. Safe travels, it would be nice to meet in person instead of just through the cyber world.
