Ok, I'm getting some "user posted images"  ("red x's" for you Internet Explorer users out there). I'll check this again when I get back to Cola.

edit: this computer i am using sucks, which is probably why i'm not seeing the pictures.

These are awesome! Man, that's pretty cool side of G'ville that I haven't seen before. I need to visit again and check these places out. Nice photos!

Downtown Greenville and some of the surronding areas area beautiful.  Much has been done in the way of gentrification and new development for the most part has been innovative (at least for the area anyways)  IF you haven't been recently do yourself a favor and make a trip to downtown Greenville for the day.

Ok, it was that crappy computer. Awsome pics! I particularly like the one of the courthouse. They need to remove that billboard that you can see from the liberty bridge.

Though that is a larfe advertisement, it is not a billboard.  It is panted on the side of an old building in the West End Market.  In its own way it is part of history.  I hate billboards myself but I love to see the old advertisements painted on to the sides of old buildings.  Often they were painted by a past tennant or building onwer.  Just a little more history.;

Oh ok. I like those as well. It is hard to tell from that picture though.

Outstanding pics Falloutboy!  Some of the best I have seen.  Are you a professional photographer?

[Falloutboy]

Thanks Vic, but I'm definitely not a pro. Greenville really impressed me. I think it would be great to live in one of the many new condos going up downtown.

Nice photos of Greenville! Its definatly a lot nicer than Greenville North  

Oughta make a trip out there sometime, Charlotte is only an hour away from me anyways! Got a friend who lives in the Greenville/Spartanburg area.

Very impressive pics!    For all of you who haven't been to downtown Greenville, I want to encourage you to see for yourself how these photos, while great captures of some of the places, just can't do justice to what you'll actually see when you are here.

The Falls Park on the Reedy is getting better all the time, now that all of the landscaping is complete.  I love to go out there and study when I get the chance, and the weather is nice.

One of the great things about Greenville's downtown is that you can really spend lots of enjoyable time exploring areas that are not visible to the drive-through visitor.  It is when you leave your car and take off on foot, that you will discover the true nature of this city; and you won't be disappointed.

Falloutboy knows what I am talking about.
