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.
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.
