greenville’s hidden gems and my awkward coffee addiction

so here i am at a co-working spot that smells suspiciously like burnt toast and ambition. greenville’s got this weird energy-like it’s trying too hard to be hip but still has a soul. i just checked the weather and it’s hovering around 15°C with a bit of a bite, so pack that *light jacket you keep forgetting exists. humidity’s at 52%, which feels like someone’s misting your face every 10 minutes. not complaining, just… moisturizing?

if you run out of coffee shop hopping (which you will), the next town over is only 45 minutes and has a killer farmers market on sundays. heard someone tried to sell me ‘artisanal dirt’ there once. true story.

“this city’s waterfalls are basically nature’s air conditioning-cept louder and wetter.”

someone told me the reedy falls here are secretly haunted by a ghost who judges your choice of street art. not sure if true, but now i sketch faster. also, i overheard at a dive bar that the liberty bridge is where couples go to break up or propose. zero in-between.

pro tip: skip the tourist-trap bistros unless you enjoy paying $20 for ‘locally sourced’ kale. check out this yelp list instead-found a dumpling truck that’ll change your life. or at least your dinner plans.

“if you’re not losing socks in the falls, are you even visiting greenville?”

pressure’s at 1020 hpa today. which apparently means… something? all i know is my sinuses are staging a rebellion. if you’re into the outdoors, this tripadvisor thread has decent hike recs. though i’d skip the ‘easy trails’ labeled ‘moderate’ by locals. liars.

heard a local whisper that fall park’s biergarten is where deals get made and hearts get broken. also, apparently the soda shop serves pickles in your milkshake. tried it. regret nothing.


anyway, greenville’s got this weird mix of quaint chaos* and genuine weirdos. like me, but with less caffeine shakes. this city forum has some… passionate debates about traffic. read at your own risk.
