3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
Living in Greenville SC right now, been here since last July, but I'm about to move to Charlotte in a few weeks to start my job.
It's grown a ton in the last few years, the downtown area has a bunch of solid restaurants and there are tons of festival type events they have where they block off all the streets and have food and beer tasting. Went to the Greek Festival a few weeks ago and had a blast. They are building a bunch of new apartment buildings downtown and have really started to expand.
The Red Sox minor league team, the Drive, are here and the stadium is really nice for a single A club. I interned there a few summers ago when Mookie Betts was still on the team which was fun to watch. They've had some good players over the years come through, Bucholz, Lester, Anthony Rizzo all played there.
The indoor arena here gets some pretty good shows, PJ was just here, and I think there are talks of building a small amphitheater soon. Minor league hockey team also plays in the arena. Clemson basketball played there this season while our arena had renovations done.
There's a lot of Clemson students who move here after graduation and get jobs, it's only about 35-40 minutes from the main campus. The MBA program and a lot of the research projects are here in Greenville as well. There's also some smaller universities near by like Furman and Bob Jones, so there's a decent inflow of young people.
Being located right between ATL and Charlotte on that stretch of I-85 will only help it grow I think. The four hours between those cities is quite the gap and there's a space to be filled I think. A few of my friends will still be here so I'll definitely be coming back a decent amount, it's always a fun time.
It's not a "great" city by any means right now but I think it's got a lot of potential to grow.
