An office complex at the Point making way for a new development in Greenville, SC Recently in the Greenville News there was an article about a hugh new real estate development. The article says this 850,000 square foot building will be demolished to make way for the development … I sure hope I understood the article correctly and I’m not making a statement in error. Can any local readers confirm this building is to be demolished?

So today I share a photo of Cherry trees putting on a show as they lose their petals. The photo was taken behind the Peace Center where a pool catches the petals as they fall.

The light was not great however some of the shots turned out. I am pleased with them mostly because of the perspective. I plan to share a few of these “birds eye” photos mixed in with my current event photos over the next week. So be sure and check back to see what is posted … My favorite previously posted photo of the Carolina First building was this reflection shot.

Getting ready for baseball at the Greenville Drive West End stadium in Greenville, SC Earlier this week I noticed a lot of activity at the West End Field where the Greenville Drive plays baseball. It was obvious they were preparing for the April 9th first game at home. While watching them prepare I tried to take a unique photo. What is shown is the manual scoring system in the “Green Monster” (their score board). My favorite Greenville Drive photo from last year was this one of a player swinging for the fence. For our local readers, I hope you make it to a few games and enjoy downtown Greenville.
