Things to be thankful for in Greenville, SC

We’re thankful for this gorgeous city | @upstateoutdooradventurer

Happy Thanksgiving, GVL.

Another year in Greenville has (almost) come and gone, and we sure are thankful for everything about our city this year. Editor Grace is thankful for our beautiful Falls Park while editor Kyle is thankful for celebrating community at festivals like Fall for Greenville.

A week ago, we asked you what you’re thankful for about Greenville, and you did not let us down.

Here were some of our favorite responses:

“The BEST weather, 4 seasons without all the snow, friendly people, never a lack of things to do, so many theaters, every kind of cuisine in amazing local restaurants, tons of small businesses, gorgeous main street, the parks/trails, and so much more!” — @Laurakudey
