Earlier this year, we polled our readers for their zaniest predictions for 2024. Here are some of your responses... and how they panned out:
Prediction: “A new Coca Cola mural will appear.” — Beth B.
Outcome: Greenville is lucky to have so many amazing murals, but a new Coca Cola piece is not one of them.
Prediction: “Greenville will be featured on the TODAY show.” — Jonnie B.
Outcome: We have a winner. Greenville was featured on the TODAY show in February for the TODAY Walking Challenge.
Prediction: “The Greenville Drive will repeat as conference champions.” — Max F. (Reader Bonnie K. had the same thought)
Outcome: We love our local baseball team, but alas, they did not bring home the trophy this year.
Prediction: "[Greenville will get a] foot of snow.” — Chris B.
Outcome: Technically the year isn’t over yet, so there’s still time. But all signs point to “no.”
Prediction: “A local chef will win a James Beard award.” — Mary F.
Outcome: Wade’s Restaurant in Spartanburg won the James Beard Foundation America’s Classic Award for the Southeast + Sum Bar won for it’s short film. “Great Wall.”
Prediction: “Downtown streets will be clear of dog poop!” — Abby J. (Dare to dream, Abby, dare to dream.)
Outcome: Maybe it’s just us, but our streets have been looking mighty clean lately.
