Greenville, South Carolina

When most people hear Greenville, the first question they ask is, “Which Greenville? The one in North or South Carolina?” Even the city visitors association has fun with the question using the slogan, “Yeah, that Greenville” in marketing materials.

The city has recently seen a resurgence in culture that starts in the downtown area as city leaders realized what a gem they were sitting on with a waterfall right off main street. Greenville converted the area to a city park with a pedestrian bridge crossing over it. Restaurants and shops line the quaint, pedestrian friendly center city. You can get a taste of everything from stick to your ribs soul food to Belgian, French, and German, as the city is a melting pot for immigrants.

Speaking of immigrants, many are drawn by the city’s growing manufacturing and knowledge industry. To experience that growth, head out to the BMW factory for a tour of the visitors museum or test your skills at BMWs Performance Driving School.
