Downtown Living in Greenville

[NYTransplant]

For those interested in what it's like to live in downtown Greenville, or if you'd just like to see Greenville from another resident's perspective, check out this blogspot. It is very fascinating and includes many great photos!

Thanks for the link Skyliner. Good stuff.

[goodbye]

I'll have to take a look at it when I get back downstairs after work or during my lunch. I'm getting that darned error again.

I did enjoy reading through Denton's blog very much as well. His photos were awesome. I love the ones taken near the Peace Center in the Morning Fog on his way to work. I thought I had an awesome commute. His is even better!

Try this link. I just love the lights on Main Street after or during a rain. You can click on each image to see a larger resolution.

That *is* a beautiful photo! I love how downtown looks after a rainfall, too.

I have no problem accessing the blog from work...just the images.

Denton's January 22 photos are breathtaking! He is yet another person who is able to capture the essence of downtown Greenville on film.

His blog is great! I've started looking at it daily.

Check out Denton's photo of Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral from Monday. That's awesome!

[goodbye]

I absolutely LOVE those! It looks quite surreal with the Landmark building in the background.

Mee too!

There is a person who posted a question to Denton who needs our help. She left her e-mail address to get in touch. You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

[RestedTraveler]

Send her a link to U.P.

Precisely!

My job's already done, but I encourage everyone else to help this couple out with any comments or advice you can give - especially you transplants to Greenville.

You know we will!!!!

The name escapes me, but the townhomes between County Square and Augusta Road, by Governors School, are nearly complete. Some residents have moved in. Landscaping is being completed. They look great!

'West End Cottages' comes to mind, as does, 'The Cottages at West End.' Take your pick.

Work is progressing on these Main Street condos (20 South Main...is that the correct name?)......this shot was taken from the Laurens Street side:

I love that stretch of Laurens Street, especially the yellow building to the left. Very nicely done renovations have occured and this is a great addition.

No, the name is something like Park Place on Main.

Glad to see that there are Condos going in there. That is the building behind Barley's Taproom, that you can see from the City Parkinglot off Washington, right?

Also, Where exactly are the west end Cottages? Are there any left? Can someone mark them on Wikimapia? I'm having trouble figuring out where they are.

[goodbye]

The Cottages are named and placed on Wikimapia.com. Look just to the left of County Square in the West End (right of West End Field). The actual street name is Howe Street.

[GE Turbine Man]

Oh, yep, I see them.

Looking at the Tax Map, there are a few of them left, and they sell for around $250k, I wonder how big they are. I can't find ANY info on them on the web aside from the tax data, and I found the homeowner's association website.

Work on The Hamptons is going full steam ahead. This church-turned-condo project is going to be a great addition to the Hampton-Pinckney area of downtown Greenville. This is only a block from where the City recently had on their agenda to allow for the construction of 5 new single-family homes on a vacant lot at the corner of Hampton & Lloyd Streets.

You can checkout the website of this project here: The Hamptons - Greenville

A few blocks away, the Mulberry at Pinckney is also well underway. Based on the information on their sign, I believe it said 18 townhomes and 16 single-family homes. There should be more units to be built, if that's the case. Prices start at $170,000. I'm VERY impressed with the Randolph Group.

Really like this project. Glad to see it moving along. An excellent example of adaptive re-use. Thanks for the photos.

These condos have turned out nice:

[GvilleSC]

These, and the street work done by the City, have added a LOT to Laurens Street. It looks 100 times better, and the amount of character of the buildings rivals every other part of downtown.

I'd really like to see that 6-story project come to that blank brick wall to the right of this project. Does anyone know how it did with the DPC?

Thanks for the update pic!

Anyone have any info about these? There are two or three of them that have been built on Chicora Avenue (near the Haynie Street development). A nice bit of gentrification for this area. Don't really go through this area often, so they may have been there for a while.
