It’s a date.

I don’t say this very often: I think I could actually happily move to Greenville, SC.

That doesn’t mean I’m going to, that I want to leave Nashville at all (I don’t), or that I have plans to move to SC. It just means that Greenville (or at least the downtown part of it I saw) is pretty cool and I could see myself living there.

First off, something I didn’t know about Greenville: it’s the home of Shoeless Joe Jackson. That makes it cool in my opinion (forgetting about the ol’ Black Sox Scandal), and we all know of my love for the movie Field of Dreams.

Secondly, the downtown is cool. There’s little shops and it’s easily walkable (or runnable for all the runners we saw out there). It just seems fun and historical, a mix I oddly enjoy. I am the girl who will stop and read all the historical markers and plaques. Sorry, I like learning! I sometimes wish Nashville’s downtown was more like Greenville’s, rather than full of honky tonks, but I guess it wouldn’t be Nashville if it was!

Thirdly, if I ever happen to be in Greenville again and am going on a nice leisurely date, Falls Park would be the perfect place to go. It was so peaceful and beautiful, with the flowers, rocks, waterfalls, and the children’s theatre rehearsal going on at one end of the park. We watched a couple (obviously on a date) having a picnic (things got interesting when the guy pulled out a guitar to sing to the girl. It was sort of awkward. We couldn’t hear, but entertained ourselves by making up lyrics to the song he was singing. Ours was quite hilarious.) But seriously, if you wanted to just go low-key on a date and talk, this park is the perfect place to go on a nice summer night. But if you’re taking me, leave the guitar at home. I WILL laugh at you.
