Time flies in Greenville.

Just like Jon Bon Jovi, we’re halfway there. Woah.

At 12 p.m. on Tuesday, July 2, we’ll be at the exact midpoint between the start and end of 2025. And that got us thinking: How can we make the second 182.5 days better than the first?

  • Make friends | Whether you’re a born and bred Greenvillian or a transplant to our beautiful city, there are plenty of ways to make friends here. Our City Guide features ways to volunteer + sports leagues to join.
  • Get active | Speaking of sneakers, the Paris Mountain Half Marathon is coming up this fall, which could be the perfect challenge for the back half of 2025.
  • Explore your city | Last but certainly not least, we all love finding a new spot around town to refresh our routine + add some variation to our weekends. Luckily for you, our Restaurant Roundup is updated monthly with the buzziest new eateries in Greenville.
