To commemorate the holiday, which honors our nation’s leaders, we’re looking back at times presidents visited Greenville.
President Grover Cleveland, 1887
We think this may be the first sitting president to visit Greenville, and information around the visit seems very limited. The only photo we could track down was this one posted in the GREENVILLE SC NATIVES Facebook Group back in 2019 showing crowds waiting for Cleveland.
President Gerald Ford, 1974
President Ford landed at the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport toa crowd of Greenvillians + he spoke at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium for a fundraiser.
President George H.W. Bush, 1992
Though not an official appearance in our city, President Bush rode a train between his appearances in Clemson + Spartanburg during the final days of his reelection campaign. However, Bush did stop in Greenville when campaigning with then-President Ronald Reagan.
President George W. Bush, 2008
It wasn’t his first visit to Greenville, but President Bush visited Furman University to deliver the commencement address.
White Wine & Butter’s new location at Greer Golf opens Thursday, Feb. 20. If you stop in to try the new menu opening weekend (including Sunday brunch), you’ll be entered to win a gift card in the amount you spent. According to girl math, that means there’s a chance your food is free.
Coming Soon
Secure your reservation for Demarcos, coming soon to the West End near District 356. The restaurant from the team behind Simpsonville’s The Slice + Pasta Addict (formerly at Gather GVL) will open Tuesday, Feb. 25 with house-made pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and other Italian fare.
Civic
The City of Greer broke ground on a new $17 million public safety training center on Hood Road. The center will feature a shooting range, seminar space for 100 people, classrooms and meeting space, and a fire training tower. (Greenville Journal)

Greenvillian

A public information session for The Inn at Altamont has been rescheduled for Thursday, Feb. 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Greenville Event Center on Beverly Road. The previously-scheduled meeting was postponed due to needing a larger space for all of the people planning to attend.
The $60 million, 150,000-sqft, four-story, Marriott luxury boutique hotel — is planned for Paris Mountain + will boast views of northern Greenville County when it opens in 2030 (if all goes as planned).
A petition against the development has garnered 10,000+ signatures online. Click the button below to weigh in by taking our poll.
It was nice having my brother-in-law Landon in town for the weekend. Despite it being hard to come by a reservation thanks to Valentine’s Day, we managed to snag a table for his first Sum Bar experience. It never disappoints.
