The Bakery off Augusta

1 comment

When cultures mix, the result is often a richer life experience than any single culture.   Greenville is fortunate to be influenced by other cultures which have arrived with foreign manufacturing facilities in the region.   The clue to the unique nature of this building is the stylized shutters, patterned after the Swiss Flag.   This is the home of the The Bakery off Augusta , located just off Augusta Road, and the owner is from Switzerland.

The Whatever store on in downtown Greenville, SC
Although I will never shop at this store I am posting a photo of it because of two reasons:

  • (one) Because my friend Chris from Newcastle (UK) will enjoy the body piercing reference.
  • (two) Because as a teenager our youngest daughter used the response whatever to most of our request. The response was delivered with an attitude that only a teenager can accomplish. Fortunately when our youngest daughter turned 21 she discovered that her parents were okay after all.

PS: A question for our international readers. Do you have a similar slang term used by teenagers to indicate indifference, or begrudging compliance?
