A Visit to Greenville, South Carolina





We drove past
Bob Jones University.






Bob Jones University is a very conservative Christian College.   For years,Republican Presidential hopefuls have been going to Bob Jones University to speak of their conservative Christian beliefs.







Greeville's skyline includes
a few skyscrapers.







It looks like all the free street parking is full....  There's a spot that just opened up...  Let's take a look around downtown.







I like the very large
street signs.








There are many crosswalks
in this section of the city.












The door on the corner of
this building is arched
with ornamental columns.






Downtown Greenville is an oasis of shopping and dining opportunities.








Two men sit & talk at the
base of Orbital Trio














The open balcony on the
fourth floor is unusual.










Columns & rusticated stone
make this an interesting
building to photograph.













Greenville's Civil Rights
struggle is commemorated






Bravo has outdoor seating.

The tables sit safely behind
a fenced greenspace.








O.P. Taylor's sign states
that it's the coolest toy
store on the planet.








This building is an interesting
mix of shapes & colors.











Mayor Max Heller
1971 - 1979

Heller has been called the
"Father of Greenville."



















This building has a balcony
& small room on its
third floor.






Greenville is an easy going, walkable city.  I look forward to returning when the leaves are on the trees to sit at an outdoor table with a cup of coffee and people watch.
