Noah and Charlotte — those were the most popular baby names in the US in 2024 based on recently released data from the Social Security Administration. If you already know a Noah or Charlotte, help them out by sharing these kid-friendly Greenville activities with them.
Holiday
Brace yourself for Memorial Day travel — this year is likely to break a 20-year-old record with nearly 45.1 million people on the move. Don’t forget that you need a REAL ID to fly. Here’s how to get yours. (Axios)
Community
The Southern accent may be disappearing. According to recent research, there’s been a diminishment of the regional accent in certain communities — including folks who grew up in Greenville. Which leads us to ask — do you have a Southern accent? Let us know.
Seasonal
It’s written in the stars. Taurus season is coming to an end, and the time for Gemini will begin on Wednesday, May 21. The air sign is known for being adaptable + curious, but sometimes indecisive — we think Greenville Geminis would find a perfect neighborhood match in Sans Souci.
Whether you’re looking for a place to play with the kiddos or to decompress with some off-screen time, The City of Greenville and Greenville County feature 90+ parks and recreational spots for you to enjoy.
Nature parks
Cancer Survivors Park, 52 Cleveland St., Greenville
Nestled along the Reedy River and the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail, this park’s labrinth, boardwalk, gardens, and more are part of its design that aims “to bring people together to share stories of survivorship – as a patient, a caregiver, a family member or someone suffering the loss of a loved one to cancer.”
Kilgore Lewis House Gardens, 560 North Academy St., Greenville
While technically a public garden rather than a park, this historic home and garden is a nature enthusiast’s dream. The house’s five acres of landscaped grounds feature a wildflower garden, a sensory garden with plant descriptions in Braille, a flowing spring, a pond, and a collection of native and ornamental plants.
A set of wind chimes. There’s nothing like listening to the soft melody of wind chimes in the evening summer breeze. We love this premium set for their soothing tones, durability, and silver finish.
On days that it’s not raining, which have been few and far between, I think it’s perfect picnic weather. Head to one of our lovely parks and pack a local picnic with the help of our guide. Just don’t forget to invite City Editor Danielle and me.
