  Do you know if these sculptures are going to be a permanent feature? They look amazing, but I can only get down there about once a year now. :(

  • At 2009.10.02 07:40, Denton said:

    Carrie, yes they are permanent. One of those speaking, at the dedication, pointed out that they will last longer than most of us attending the presentation .. also of interest is that they are intended to be interactive .. in that people may touch them and stroll between them.

  My family and I are moving to Greenville in the next month and we’re so excited that the city is so focused on its appearance and promoting itself in such an artistic manner. Keep up the amazing work Greenville. It made our choice of relocation a no-brainer.

  Isn’t that S. Laurens St.? The Davenport building is on Washington.

  • At 2009.10.08 09:16, Denton said:

    You are correct. However, this building also has “Davenport” carved into the stone. The red brick building in the middle is the one I’m in reference to. The name is toward the top. I’ll post a link to a photo, showing the sign, in the near future.

    Hopefully someone can shed some light on why two buildings bear the name Davenport.

  The flags are there because SYNNEX is having their national conference this week and the Vendor Summit took place at the Westin. The vendors and SYNNEX employees will be staying at the Westin until Saturday.

  I agree with Blureu – they were out of Pork, and there were only two others eating in the restaurant. My husband and I had the two beef selections. Very tasty but limited choices and overpriced. The Mojito’s were great! I’d skip the restaurant aspect too, and go for the bar & lounge aspect and drink Mojito’s and dance some salsa!

  I LOVE the way you did this collage, Denton! Great idea!

  Well, I finally made it to Fall for Greenville yesterday afternoon. I especially wanted to hear the Out of Towners on the BB&T stage. Mostly wandered around taking photos but enjoyed hummus and pita bread from Two Chefs; a sweet sauage and pepper panini from Luna Rosa (excellent!); baby back ribs from the Brown Street Club, and just one really cold and satifying beer.

  What amazed me was how easy it was to get into downtown and out with this major event going on. That would have never happened back in Chicago!

  Looking forward to next year’s festival already.

  • At 2009.10.26 08:54, Denton said:

    Marsha, I understand the community drumming festival is an ongoing event held the last Sunday of each month. During the Summer the events are held in Falls Park. During the Winter, starting next month, events move indoors. You can send an email to jeff@drum4work.com to find out detail of where the Winter events will be held.

    It is my understanding that everyone is welcome to join in. You can bring your own percussion instrument or dance or use “body percussion” (i.e. clap). While we were there, this last weekend, they had extra percussion instruments for those who did not bring their own.

  Thank you so much for taking these wonderful pictures of our festival in the park. What started as a way to bring our community together through drum and dance has grown to be more than I could have imagined in a short time. I’m excited to know that so many people are touched by what I love to do for a living. Every day should be a celebration of Life!

  Jeff,
  While it looks like they have a water issue, what they are really doing is “laying trail”. The water bottles actually contain regular baking flour. They leave marks and symbols written in flour that a large group of runners (hashers) follow shortly thereafter in hopes of catching the “hares” (those laying trail). Feel free to look us up at http://www.upstatehashers.com – and if you come, tell them Grampa sent you – they’ll know who I am (and I’ll likely be there, too).

  If you’ll notice, all berry-bearing trees/bushes are heavy laden with fruit this fall. The trees seem to be dropping an abundance of acorns as well. This is usually a sure sign of a fierce winter to come. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if we don’t get some snow before the next season is out! It’s a beautiful way to see how God provides for all the little creatures.

    Leslie, I would love to claim a composition choice. However it was luck on my part .. Most of the time I don’t crop my photos however in this case I cropped to accent the parallel between the scene in the background and the statue .. Connections.

  I do some auditing work for a company the has CoCa-Cola as a client. Usually this involves a monthly trip to make sure new billboard campaigns are put up correctly, well lit, etc. However about a year ago they sent me on a mission to look for “signs” like this painted on old buildings. This was one of the locations I shot. I wonder if they were using my findings to go out and repaint or restore these old signs. When I took the photo the sign was still there but a lot more faded. I think one thing they were doing was making a book or advertisements like this across the country. Looks like they didn’t go for a full repainting but enough to show better in a photo yet still show it was old.
