If you frequent Twitter, you may have noticed a trend that caught on last week asking users to tell accounts that they’re from an area without using the area’s name. If you haven’t seen the trend, it looks a little like this. ⬇️
Responses to the tweets typically mention landmarks or other qualities that are unique to the location (and may not be understood by those who aren’t from the area).
We wanted to get in on the fun too, so we asked our followers to tell us they’re from Greenville without actually telling us they’re from Greenville. And, the responses were so great – and true to GVL – that we had to share them with y’all. Here are some of our favorite answers:
“It’s Greenvul, not Greenville.” – Julie B.
“Had my picture taken in front of ‘the’ tree.” – Valerie K. N.
“It’s the Bi-Lo Center not The Well.” – Maghen L.
