Day 2 Richmond to Greenville,SC

Ten years ago on my way down route 85 to Alabama I decided to stop for the night in Greenville,SC. It was a great little walking town with a beautiful Main Street. Sylvia said she'd like to see it, so we stopped there for the night. After checking in at the Homewood Suites (very nice), we headed down town for a walk. What a difference...it's built up, but still with that small town feeling with shops, restaurants, baseball stadium, symphony hall, theaters, and a very active youngish crowd. It also had the best bicycle shop I've ever seen. They have built big high rise condos and offices in back of the quaint buildings on the main streets. All very well done. It would be a terrific place to live. We'll definitely stop there anytime we use 85. We did make a few stops and nibbled our way around town. Tomorrow we hope to make Destin, Florida, so being the geezers we are, we called it quits early.
