Spending time along the Reedy River in Greenville is such a special experience. There are several…read morebeautiful spots to sit and relax, especially near the Grand Bohemian Lodge Greenville, and the bridge is a wonderful place to stroll while enjoying the soothing sound of the river and waterfall. What makes it even more meaningful is the history behind it. Beginning in the late 1700s, water-powered industries clustered along the Reedy River, including trading posts, grist and corn mills, a sawmill, an ironworks, the Gower, Cox and Markley Coach Factory, a paper-making factory, and an armory. A century later, textile and apparel mills were established along its banks. Unfortunately, the mills discharged waste and excess dyes into the river, and the Reedy began to suffer from the spoils of progress. By the mid-20th century, downtown Greenville's stretch of the river was so severely polluted by upstream textile mills that the once pristine and popular falls became desolate and unsafe. Seeing how beautiful and vibrant the area is today makes you truly appreciate the restoration and revitalization efforts. It's peaceful, scenic, and rich with history -- definitely a must-visit when you're in Greenville. Cheers!

On the way to our hotel, we stopped at the Greenville Drive stadium called Fluor Field since most teams have their stores open from 10 AM to 4 or 5 PM. I noticed a lot of merchandise, and the store is tight. If you turn around, you'll bump into a rack or stand. I can't imagine visiting during game day. Holy Toledo! Next, I saw the difference between online and store prices as we viewed several items. The sale items in their store needed to reflect what was listed online, and yes, every team that we've visited, they've matched from the Wisconsin teams to the MiLB teams in Florida. Second, the wife asked if she could get a view of their "green monster," which is the left field wall at Fluor Field. It is similar to the original at Fenway Park. She asked, "Is there a way to see the green monster, the left field wall?" The storekeeper replied, "I don't think I have that in my power." Meanwhile, two other employees were in the side office chatting away. Oh well, the wife asked. If you want to get it out and explore Greenville, they might have something of interest. As for us, we left with nothing.

The venue itself is small and charming, just what you'd expect from a jazz spot. The menu is somewhat limited, and the online version is not current. You can expect items like burgers, fried shrimp, flounder bites, glazed salmon, and various salads. However, the dishes we tried were just average. Our server, Coco, provided good service! Seating can be cramped, especially on busy nights, so be prepared for limited space. The JAVA Band was fantastic! They performed the hits for about two hours, and I highly recommend seeing them if you get the chance! Overall, we had a nice first visit to Blues Boulevard, and we'll definitely be returning!

These grits get their natural, lighter, creaminess from the grits and proper cooking (stirring continuously) resulting in more corn flavor and a natural creaminess that doesn't overpower the dish. These grits result is an authentic bowl of creamy grits with complex and subtle corn notes that all too often is lost when chef's load up the cream and butter. I've heard it said that grits take on the flavor of what is added into them - well not if it starts with the "right" grits and knowing how to properly cook them. We also enjoy Rio Bertolini's Fresh pasta - their shrimp, corn, and bacon ravioli; their braised beef short rib ravioli, the lobster truffle ravioli; sage brown butter sauce; sweet potato gnocchi, and garlic gnocchi are some favorites. 3 doz en ravioli for $20, freezes well. Twin Creeks Lavender is a lavender farm with 7,000 organically grown plants located in Anderson. Their lavender candles are a delight. They also sell a variety of lavender potpourri, scents, soaps, etc. There are several farm stands represented, vegetables organic poultry, beef, pork. Lots of crafts and flowers. One of our most intriguing favorites is Forx Farms Cheeses, a couple who have introduced organic, hand crafted cheeses of all kinds into the local market reflecting their heritage from the Netherlands. Fresh cream cheese, no preservatives, same with Parmesan, cottage cheese, pimento cheese, aged Gouda, smoked Gouda, and my favorite - Leyden, a Dutch, semi hard cheese with cumin and caraway seed. This is such an outstanding market and a pleasure to visit, open every Saturday 8-noon from May 1 to last Saturday in October. It covers both sides of three blocks of Main Street from E McBee to Court Street.

It has well laid out and informative permanent exhibits, giving you a great overview of the history of the region without it being information overload. They have a fairly large theater that plays a film if you're not too interested in walking around the exhibits. It's fairly compact in size, so you can visit both floors quickly if you are in a rush, or take an hour or two depending on your level of interest. They have several rotating special exhibits, which I feel is essential to keeping things fresh and encourages repeat visits. On my visit, I found both the special exhibits on the Avengers and Lady Bird Johnson to be of excellent quality. However, there was a dinosaur exhibit which I felt was of poor quality and not very informative, and it seemed to be more of an area for younger kids to play rather than have visitors learn. They are setting up to have a Looney Toons special exhibit some time in the next year. There is a small gift and cafeteria area with vending machines on premises. They participate in the Bank of America Museums on Us program, providing complimentary visits to cardholders the first full weekend of every month. Overall, I'd rate the Upcountry History Museum a 4.5 stars out of 5 for a small city museum, but happy to round up since I enjoyed my visit and found it vastly superior to the Greenville County Museum of Art a few minutes away.
