It's been almost a decade exactly since my last review of Greenville, so I thought I would update…read moreit! I live in Metro Atlanta, and I have provided a life of traveling to my children by exploring all things within a 5-hour radius of our home. While there are many great small cities and towns that fit within those parameters (Asheville, Chattanooga, Nashville, Savannah, Charleston), GREENVILLE is perhaps one of our most favored. It really is easy to love this city, whether you're visiting with a family of small children or older children, or as a girl's weekend, bro trip or couple's romantic getaway... it's perfect for any group and equally as exciting for someone flying solo. [ THINGS TO DO ] As I said in my first review... You're first stop hands down should be Falls Park! Located right in the middle of Downtown Greenville, this is THEE BEST LOOKING city park I've ever seen. Truly a hidden gem! The waterfall, the historic buildings and monuments, the BEAUTIFULLY landscaped park, walking trails and awesome suspended pedestrian bridge make this a peaceful place to relax, read a book, stop for some ice cream or hit the trails. Now that our children are older and one has turned 21, we find ourselves checking out bars and breweries. We had a good time @ Yee-Haw on our last visit and finished the night spectacularly @ GROUP THERAPY Pub & Playground! Words cannot express just how much fun that place is on the right night with the right group! We weren't sure what life would look like with our boys once they became adults, but I can say this place gave us a night to remember! Loved the atmosphere and karaoke singers! Renting bikes and riding Swamp Rabbit Trail should also be on any outdoorsy person's list! [ PLACES TO EAT ] Restaurants are plentiful and using the Yelp search feature for "best restaurants" in Greenville will net you a treasure trove of options. Places I would recommend for a good meal are: Jamaican Mi I'rie, Barley's Pizza, Grill Marks, Fork & Plough and Bacon Brothers. Places still on our list to try are Green Fetish, Swordfish Cocktail Club, Aryana Afghan Cuisine, Sully's Steamers, Society Sandwich Bar, Belladina's Pizzeria and Trappe Door. [ KIDS SCAVENGER HUNT ] Lots for the kids to see and do, but a MUST is to play 'Mice on Main'. It's a scavenger hunt along Main Street to find little bronze mice. Kids read clues and search the streets to find them, which is a lot of fun. Mast General store has old school candy and other items with an old school General Store feel, and you can also pick-up clue sheets for the mice hunt here. [ USE GREENVILLE AS A BASE CAMP FOR HIKING ] Our main objective when visiting Greenville in the past was to hike one or several of the hundreds of nearby waterfalls. This area is called "The Land of Waterfalls" and for good reason. Many are within 1 hours drive of the city and I promise you they will not disappoint! Our favorite waterfalls are Triple Falls and High Falls in Dupont Forest, Rainbow Falls in Jones Gap, Reedy Cove Falls near Sunset and Catawba Falls near Asheville. [ WHERE TO STAY ] Hotels are plentiful, but our two favorite stays have been: SPRINGHILL SUITES DOWNTOWN - https://www.yelp.com/biz/springhill-suites-by-marriott-greenville-2?osq=springhill+suites+downtown and CAMBRIA HOTEL off Woodruff Road - https://www.yelp.com/biz/cambria-hotel-greenville-greenville Also worth mentioning is AC HOTEL, which we haven't visited yet but plan to - https://www.yelp.com/biz/ac-hotel-greenville-greenville?osq=AC+Hotel [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] I highly recommend Greenville as a great getaway for any METRO ATLANTA RESIDENT or short driving distance cities such as Chattanooga, Knoxville, Charlotte, and Charleston. You're gonna have a good time here, I can all but guarantee it! ENJOY!!! 2022 / 111

Beware when parking. There was a festival in town but the signs that said no parking from 1 to 10…read morePM were not put up until after we parked so then they gave us a citation. Bait and switch. We are from Michigan, so don't come at me saying that is always the case. If you don't have the signs up permanently, out of town guests couldn't possibly know.

It's a jail so its not a good place to be now some of the co's are very nice but some are just…read moreplain rude and mean when they don't have to be I understand if something is going on and you have to be mean but when there is no reason to be you shouldn't be bcuz you know what you was signing up for when you took the job so why do it but like I said it's jail no one wants to be there.

We had our wedding and reception at Greer City Hall. It was easy to rent and the staff was so nice!…read moreThe place is very spacious and it was fairly easy to have the wedding and reception in the same room. The staff helped us flip the room into a sit down reception with enough room for the DJ and a dance floor section. Would recommend for any bride looking for an affordable place to rent with plenty of space.

Well, I was worried after reading the reviews. I had to go in to drop off documents to show I was…read morea US citizen in order to start receiving my ss benefits. I guess having a ss # and paying into ss for 47 years wasn't enough proof. ( I submitted my application online and waited 6 weeks and never got a call so I figured I better call to find out what was going on w my application. That is how I found out I needed proof I was a US citizen as I was born in another country). I get it, rules are rules and I happily obliged. I went into the Greenville SC branch around 3pm on a Thursday 11/13/25. I was called within 30 mins and met with a gentleman (booth 3) who greeted me nicely and was very personable. I wish I had gotten his name. He was efficient, asked me if I needed a ss card, which I actually did, and he ordered one for me. I was done within 10 minutes, my documents submitted without a glitch. I thanked him for his excellent bedside manner. Now the police officer who was working wasn't the most friendly. I wasn't sure where I needed to check in upon arriving and when I asked him, he just pointed to the kiosk without any greeting. He also seemed a little perturbed with a family when they received an audible phone ring/call and proceeded to make a statement out loud to turn off ringers/silence phones etc. bec there may be children w sensory issues /autism present. I thought that was interesting as there is a loud buzzer over the pa when your number is called. I would think that would set a child off more so than a phone ringing? I think most parents that have children w issues usually are prepared (headphones) in places like this. Oh well, he was doing his job, albeit he didn't seem to be enjoying it.
