For our local readers this is a common sight. It comes from a display at the Greenville airport. The display includes a BMW Z4 roadster and the Crafted with Pride symbol in the background. Z4′s are build in a plant just outside of Greenville. Those of us living in Greenville are very proud of our ties to BMW. The Crafter with Pride symbol comes from Greenville’s textile heritage … I took the photo last weekend after dropping Connie off for a trip to Singapore. She attended and presented at a Creativity Conference.

Several readers commented on the light in yesterday’s photo. So today I’m sharing a photo of the source of that light. You can see some people on the right side of today’s photo painting an awning of a studio soon to open. Here is a another view of their painting effort.

A plaque, next to this this shield, states the shield along with other displayed relics are historic records of the Heritage of Greenville. The relics were original part of the Old Post Office which I understand was constructed in the early 1890′s. The Post Office structure stood where the City Center building recently stood and has now been destructed. The plaque and relics were displayed on the wall of the City Center and I assume they will be prominently displayed in the future as well … The 43 stars represent the number of states in the US in 1890 when the Post Office was built.

The City Center building and garage have been demolished and construction will soon begin on a new hotel. Greenville’s performing arts center, the Peace Center, is in the background … More on the late City Center tomorrow.

Today’s photo is of Jim Higgins and Steve Dumaine from the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO). On Sunday evening we meet Jim and Steve as they were leaving a performance at the Peace Center, in Greenville, and walking to their hotel. As you can see from the photo they were very friendly and clowned around. This was their studly pose … Imagine walking out your front door and running into members from the NSO. What a treat.

It is my understanding that Townes Square not only celebrates the accomplishments of Charles Townes, who was born in Greenville and received a Nobel Prize for his formulas which lead to the invention of the laser. The square also celebrates the idea that many great ideas come about while sitting on a bench and enjoying the park. I thought today’s photo demonstrated the concept.

As a follow-up to yesterday’s photo, of a classic Plymouth parking in downtown Greenville, I am sharing the reflection in one of it’s hubcaps. In addition to serving as a self portrait you can also see the Wyche Pavilion, the Hampton Inn, and Terrace … A special thanks goes out to the owner who did such a great job of cleaning and shining the hubcap just for this photo.
