Peer into your crystal ball.

Picture this: It’s 2019. You sit down in front of your computer with your morning coffee. You open up GVLtoday – what headlines do you see?

In the spirit of the New Year, we’re asking you: What do you predict for Greenville’s future in 2019? We want you to peer into your crystal ball and tell us, and we’ll publish your predictions in our newsletter on New Year’s Eve.

To get the crystal ball warmed up, here are a few of our readers’ ideas from Instagram + Facebook:

🔮 Veronica T. thinks restaurants will offer more plant-based options + a totally vegan restaurant will open.

🔮 Sarah M. predicts an arthouse/independent movie theatre will open downtown.

🔮 Palmer H. (and many others) see an IKEA in Greenville’s future.

And a few from our team…

🔮 Kendall thinks a locally-owned tattoo shop will open in the Village, and at least 5 more breweries will come to Greenville (lookin’ at you, AVL).

🔮 Heather predicts Coastal Crust will finally open its brick and mortar location (where she will visit every day for lunch) and a new dog park will open so she can take her girl Sadie to play after work.

How you can predict the future:
