The India Association of Greater Greenville held a festival called “A Day With India” at the TD Convention Center.    The festival included performances, music, dancing, exhibits, and food.  And it was all for a good cause to benefit Meals on Wheels / Greenville and Asha for Education.

Coffee Underground

Coffee Underground is Greenville’s eclectic cafe – a great place to hang out, located just below street level on Coffee Street.  I see that it has been a popular subject on the Greenville Daily photo … see past photos.

This year’s  Moonlight Movie Series has begun, literally in the moonlight, with “The Muppet Movie”.   Because of the construction at the Peace Center Amphitheater, the movies are being held in Falls Park, next to the Shakespeare stage.

Diamond Dash

no comments

The streets of Greenville saw a high tech scavenger hunt fit for the Royals over the weekend.   The Upstate Diamond Dash had teams of two compete to find clues.   Bicycles and cars were not allowed, so it helped to be fit enough to walk fast and far to cover the city.  Clues were sent to each team’s cell phone.   While GPS navigation was allowed, it was also helpful to know the town very well.  The top prize was a $15,000 diamond ring.

Spring Flea

A ‘Spring Flea’ was held at the Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery this weekend.  While I’m not sure of the origin of this phrase, the more common ‘market’ suffix is implied.   The event logo on their web site makes it appear as though the phrase ‘spring flea’ was more common many years ago.

This recent artwork by Charles Pate, Jr. is located at the corner of South Main Street and Perry Avenue in the West End.  The man is shaping himself, much like the city is shaping itself.   For more details, including how the sculpture was created, watch this 14 minute video.
