Ah, 2016. Back when we all put #yeahTHATgreenville on every overfiltered, gritty Instagram picture from our iPhone 6. The latest nostalgic trend has people sharing those posts again, one decade later.

For us, 2016 was the year we first hit your inbox, so scrolling back in the archives was an especially fun walk down memory lane.

  • Crews were clearing space for the Camperdown development
  • The Pendleton Street Church steeple came down
  • The Embassy Suites opened downtown
  • Marcus King performed at Shoeless Jam
  • The Warehouse Theatre’s sign was installed
  • Husk announced it was coming to Main Street

Take a scroll and reminisce on some of our posts from one decade ago.
