Everything Upstate
Sheriff body cameras show that local elections matter
This week, Greenville County sheriff deputies will start being outfitted with body cameras, according to a report by The Greenville News. There is, of course, some debate over the impact body cameras have on law enforcement, with the loudest dissent coming from those who believe it hinders police from using necessary force in certain situations. But […]
Can Greenville become more affordable?
The Greenville News recently did a great writeup on the accolades Greenville has received and what that means for the future of the city. There is a lot to digest in the article, but one common thread was that Mayor White and others are concerned about ensuring that the city is affordable for all of the […]

Downtown Greenville dining is reshaping all of Greenville
One thing we’ve see over and over again is that Downtown Greenville is growing. What started a few years ago as a small section of neat-to-walk-and-eat-at areas on Main Street eventually became all (or at least most of) Main Street. Then the walkable/eatable sections started taking over the side streets that branch off of Main Street. And […]
Global Warming and SC – a bizarre cocktail for desirable real estate.
Earlier this evening when I got home, I found that my daughter was playing outside. I realized that I hadn’t gotten any exercise or time in the sun (let alone time with my daughter), so I did what most parents would do – I put on shorts, a short-sleeve shirt, and went out to play with her. […]
Dunean – a part of Greenville on the rise
If you’re like me and curious about up-and-coming areas of the Upstate, you’ll be curious to know what under-appreciated parts of the Upstate are poised for transformation in the near future.
