Out of curiosity, how did it look when you were here? Did you mean different as in how it looks in a different season, or were you here years ago before the explosion of apartment buildings?

I don't remember all the apartment buildings downtown. The trails were rather primitive and were not very easy to follow. I climbed up the local hill and back to downtown where I stayed. I went to the Mildred C. Green gallery and her Estate Library. Which was pretty cool.

Sounds like you were here a very long time ago... How long ago was it? I started spending time regularly in Greenville about twenty years ago and the city is unrecognizable now from how it looked then. Back in 2000 they hadn't even taken down the Camperdown Way bridge yet, which meant that the waterfall downtown was still hidden under a highway overpass, and Falls Park and the Liberty Bridge, obviously, didn't exist either.
