Nice shot! I love the Bookends and what they add to views from this side of downtown... I'm lacking the word to describe it, but it's a great building(s)

Way too much land devoted to parking lots. Imagine all the great buildings demolished for no other reason.

Not really a city at all...

[btoy]

The city is takeing bids on one of their parking lots. It is at Falls St. and Court St., if you drive by it has a FSBO sign on it right now.

So thats why that herd of cattle grazed by last week when I was sitting outside the coffee shop on my laptop. Man, all this time....I thought I was in a city, and it's really just a pasture. The things you learn!

Well, here's some picture of this place that's not a city...

**^^^The trees have really done a number to the front of Wachovia Place- needs to be cleaned!

Great shots, GvilleSC! I would simply direct mcashlv's attention to downtown Charlotte and ask if all those parking lots mean it is not a city as well.

Great photos GvilleSC! Love the last one looking toward downtown from West End.

[RestedTraveler]

Moooooo.

[gs3]

Moooooo.

A vast assemblage of parking lots, tract housing, freeways, and strip shopping centers is more of an 'inhabited place', not a city in the sense of Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, etc. Perhaps mooing is an advanced method of self-expression among certain population groups who dwell in such places. Clemson graduates?

[goodbye]

Actually, there are a few graduates of Clemson on this forum, but the ones you are refering to are not from around here.

So, how many people do you know who share your opinion about the definition of an American city? Please let us know what these others (Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, etc.) have that Greenville doesn't so we can learn what our city lacks. Or please just simply contribute without being so directly insulting to other members and we'll be able to carry on a civilized discussion here.

University of Florida; however, we did have quite an outstanding Agricultural and Animal Sciences program there. I elected Computer and Information Sciences as a major, myself; therefore, any Mooing in which I partake is likely simply an advanced symptom of insanity.

Biting my tongue on this one...

I moo when I'm happy....and the city of Greenville makes me ecstatic! MOO, MOO, MOO

Here's some shots from around the Pettigru Historic District. I wish this was more of a residential area still.

Here's another random photo of an odd sight downtown. I was walking around and happened to notice someone had dumped soap into the fountain in front of the Peace Center. Couldn't resist the opportunity to capture it for everyone.

[goodbye]

Main Street looking north and standing next to City Hall. More of that GREEN Greenville is well known for!

[krazeeboi]

Seems like people have a penchant for dumping soap into fountains; seems like there's always suds coming out of the fountain in uptown Charlotte at the corner of Trade and Tryon. I'm like, "Don't these people have better things to do"?

Wachovia Place on Washington Street @ Main Street.

Poinsett Corners, looking toward the new Hampton Inn and Suites at RiverPlace.

Main Street looking north on a Sunday morning.

South Main Street looking south toward the Westin Poinset Hotel on a Sunday morning. Later in the day, the sidewalk is bustling with pedestrians and cafe tables are set out for hungry groups to enjoy a delicious break under the green canopy.

Wachovia Place and the Liberty Building, from Court Square.

Visitors have booked up the Westin Poinsett Hotel on Main Street this week.
