Asked

What are the “unwritten rules” of Greenville?

Do you even go here? | Photo by @vanzeppelinaerial

We’re asking you to break out the quill and ink, then promptly put it back, and help us determine the “unwritten rules” of Greenville. From traffic, to food, to entertainment — we want to hear what makes a true Greenvillian tick.

Examples could include:

You must eat Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery Stecca bread at least once.
Don’t drive on I-85 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. (or at all if you can help it).
The first hint of fall weather is what we call “false fall” because the heat will rebound.

We’ll be sharing some of our favorites in an upcoming City Guide, so hit us with your best shot.
