Hey Greenvillians, Kyle + Danielle here. Between the two of us, we get the privilege of sharing local news, events, and conversations with 58,000+ readers in GVL, daily — here, and on our socials.
After being around for a while, we thought we should formally introduce ourselves. Consider this us going in for a fist bump, then switching to a handshake, then settling on a hug.

Q: Hit us with your favorite piece of local trivia:
A: When Unity Park opened, we shared this piece of history + I still think it’s the coolest. In 1907, Boston architect Harlan Kelsey developed a master plan titled, “Beautifying and Improving Greenville S.C.” He recommended three parks be built along the Reedy River: Cleveland Park was the first (created in 1922), Falls Park was the second (completed in 2004) + Unity Park(opened in May)completing the full plan 115 years later.
