The zodiac signs as Greenville neighborhoods

Downtown Greenville

One of the most loveable things about Greenville is the distinct character found in each neighborhood, district, and corner of town. They all have their own personalities and purposes — some would say it was written in the stars. Let’s take a look at how our neighborhoods align with the zodiac signs.

Pisces: The Village of West Greenville | Feb. 19-March 20

The Village provides the perfect artistic moment for a Pisces to thrive.

The Village has plenty of ways to stir your creative juices — whether it’s literal juice from Kuka Juice, or a new tattoo from Blind Tiger Tattoo Co.

Aries: Downtown | March 21-April 19

Known as the passionate and confident leader of the zodiac, an Aries would feel right at home downtown.

Downtown is bustling with places to go and food to try, so it’s hard to narrow this down but we would say visiting Falls Park + eating at a Table 301 restaurant give those confident and passionate vibes.

Taurus: Augusta Road | April 20-May 20

The family-oriented nature of this sign is the perfect match for Augusta Road.

Our ideal day on Augusta Road: Have lunch at The 05, shop for your kids (or yourself) at The Elephant’s Trunk, and end the day with a baked good from The Bakery Off Augusta.

Gemini: San Souci | May 21-June 20

Gemini’s tend to have two sides to their personalities, just like San Souci.

San Souci is a mixed bag of historic mansions and brand new renovated ranches. A visit to San Souci Community Garden is a must. We recommend bringing a book to read that will make you laugh and cry.

Is there a Greenville neighborhood that pairs perfectly with one of the zodiacs missing from our list? Tell us about it — bonus points if you can explain why.

Cirque du Soleil Corteo is coming to Greenville

All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus Cirque du Soleil. Cirque du Soleil Corteo is coming to Bon Secours Wellness Arena from Thursday, March 21 to Sunday, March 24.

Here are a few fun facts about the show:
  • This is the first time it’s been in Greenville.
  • It first premiered in Montreal in April 2005.
  • Corteo means cortege (think: a funeral procession) in Italian.
  • It’s about a clown who imagines his funeral taking place in a “carnival atmosphere.”
  • The staging splits the audience in half, with each half looking at the other.
  • The set curtains were inspired by the Eiffel Tower.

You might not know, but I’m a huge Michael Jackson Fan. Senior City Editor Danielle is to Taylor Swift as City Editor Stephanie is to Michael Jackson. The first Cirque du Soleil show I saw was Michael Jackson ONE in Las Vegas — I was crying so much that ushers came to check on me.
