We recently had the chance to go back to Clemson S.C. for a friends 65th. birthday party.....we decided to leave a day earlier and spend some time in Greenville... |
We stayed overnight at the Westin Poinsett....it seems this guy had something to do with bringing Poinsettia's to the country? |
I could be wrong about that as I didn't read his little plaque....left my eyeglasses back at the room..... but the statue was very interesting.... |
A lovely old brick structure...Right on Main Street...great location....not such good service.. |
The morning after our arrival I stepped out with my trusty Nikon leaving the Boss behind and took some pictures....this is the facade of the Westin....thank goodness for zoom lens... |
the rooms with the balconies must be lovely as they look out over Main St.... |
This old shoe shine chair....still in use.... sat proudly in the lobby.... |
Back to my morning stroll.... I thought this meter maid was giving this Smart car a ticket.... but upon closer inspection |
The Smart Car..... is actually the Parking Authorities vehicle... how cute is that... I wonder how she gets in an out of that thing.... |
There were a lot of Fountains in town... This one is in front of Symphony Hall.. |
a beautiful clock stands tall on Main.... along with brick sidewalks and old street signs.... Can you see the other statue in the background....Statues are all over as Well.... |
Liberty 1905..... |
More Statues..... playing the flute... |
Some naked guy and a violin player.... This was just out in front of an office building... |
A hog..... |
Not just any hog....this one "drooled" Water out of it's mouth.... You have to look close... |
I loved the signs pointing you in the right direction....I have been here twice now and have not made it down to see the Falls.... It's that extra 3 blocks that just kills me... |
This one points out all the hot spots in town..... And where all the parking lots are.... But there is also plenty of free street parking. |
There are more places to eat on Main Street.... then you can count.... |
Something for everyone.... |
Inside an office complex..... |
For Ladies who like to lunch.... |
this one confused me..... Is it a Taco/Sushi joint... Mexican and Asian together seemed a little Odd... |
what do you do in the middle of winter... Artificial flowers do the trick... |
Getting ready for the lunch crowd..... |
Just need a snack...How about a shop that just sells popcorn.... |
Now your talking..... Southern BBQ.. |
couldn't tell what type of food they had here.... |
Cup Cakes!!!! |
the ever popular Indian Cuisine.... |
Okay....show your age ladies... Who remembers Lerner Shops... no longer there of course... But you can see where the letters were taken off... |
This is a great shop.....very similar to L.L.Bean.... and they have the biggest penny candy department I have ever seen... Barrels and Barrels of them... but of course no longer a penny |

Great little tour, Sue. Looks like a nice little town.
Sue- What a great town- I have only ever passed through it. Too bad that the Westin disappointed...but glad you found a place with comfy beds. Hope your feet are all rested up by now- xo Diana
Thanks for the tour...those scallops looks yummy!
I have been there so many times - but never got to see the upper part of the town - lol. Doesn't have great memories for me - long story. But it looks like it is a great city. And that meal - better than the Eiffel Tower food!!?? It looked great. The room looked pretty good to me. I had such a wonderful time today. Thanks for everything. sandie
