    Robert W. Woodruff Library - The oldest book in their collection from 1632

    Robert W. Woodruff Library

    I've been to this library several times for lectures and exhibits and I've always had a great…read moreexperience with each visit. Last night was no different, is easy to get to and there is plenty of parking garages within walking distance. Robert W. Woodruff Library is the main library of Emory University. The Woodruff Library Building also hosts the Goizueta Business Library, Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library, Marian K. Heilbrun Music & Media Library, the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship, and the Matheson Reading Room. The main entrance is on the second floor, and has study areas on the first through third floors. Besides the main building, there is a tower of 10 floors serving as a storage of books. The Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library (MARBL) is on the tenth floor of the tower. I was here for an event hosted by the MARBL, it houses a diverse body of primary sources associated with the African American experience, from literature and history to politics and popular culture. Anyone can visit the collection and not just students so that's a neat fact.

    This is a museum for a day where it is raining. There is little original art that grabs my…read moreimagination. It is a good place for the junior high class field trip. What I would do differently is to take a leap into the deep end of the pool of art. I would move to fewer local and well connect artists sample the different. And that means for-me less outsider art and more creativity. Check out the J B Speed museum in Louisville KY. The difference is staggering.

    Fulton County Jail - Don't compare JAIL to the HOTEL!!!

    The 5 star review is for the Front desk staff and the Watch Commanders. I have a nephew at Fulton…read moreCounty jail. We heard he was involved in some kind of altercation that required for him to go to the hospital. My nephew mom and I called the jail to figure out what was going because we hadn't heard from my nephew all day. That night we spoke with the Watch Commander Captain Wells, she couldn't share much info but she said he was ok. Captain Wells was short with the convo. but she was professional and informational. I came to the jail the next day in person to speak to someone about the condition of my nephew. Upon arrival I was greeted and about 5 officers immediately tried getting me some assistance. There was a older white guy and the Watch Commander Captain Holiday, answered all my concerns about my nephew. They may have been feeding me some BS about his wellbeing, but they were so nice I had no choice but to believe them. The jail condition and the inmates safety are horrible, but the front desk and the entry of the jail customer service is A+.

    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.
