My Greenville (/ˈɡriːnvɪl/; locally /ˈɡriːnvəl/)

Not a parody, but more of an homage to sopas ej's fantastic My Los Ángeles thread, perhaps it is time to just collect all the photos I take in one place rather than keep generating individual threads. As in sopas ej's thread, expect more pictures of food.

I ended up taking quite a few photos this past weekend, in part because while I disdain New Year's resolutions, my husband went on a tear and said we need to do more this year that involved leaving the house.

Greenville's famed drooling warthog fountain, a copy of one in Italy and given to Greenville by Bergamo, its Italian sister city. Tourists' constant fondling of the warthog's snout has worn it smooth.













Stay tuned for charming small town Americana and a toxic swamp... whenever I can spare the time to upload them, since I took them with a real camera instead of my phone!
