News Notes

Number

$3.69. That’s the average price of a dozen eggs in Greenville right now. If that sounds steep, it may be in part because national egg prices are up 71% year-over-year. Factor that into the local cost of living. (Axios)

Ranked

Greenville took the No. 10 spot on U-Haul’s list of top growth metros — meaning it looks like more people are moving to our area. Do you think any of our new neighbors nabbed one of the most expensive homes for sale in Greenville?

Eat

Do you smell shortbread? Girl Scout Cookie season is almost here. Use this zipcode finder to get a countdown to cookies — and support our local Girl Scout troops.
Dry January may be bigger than ever in 2025 — just look at how more people search the term on Google every year. If you’re zero-proof curious, check out our mocktail list.

City Guide

We’ll drink to that

This photo shows a cozy and modern café interior. A hand in the foreground is holding an iced coffee in a clear plastic cup with a lid and straw. The background features a seating area with white chairs, soft-toned furniture, and large windows letting in natural light. The décor includes potted plants, a patterned rug, a glass-top coffee table, and wall art. Outside, it appears to be a rainy day, adding to the cozy ambiance.
