A Pretty Downtown

Dorothy and I are on the road. We are going to a wedding in North Carolina. Last night we stayed in Greenville, South Carolina. Greenville has one of the prettiest downtown areas that I have seen. It shows what the citizens of a community can do when they get together and more importantly work together. The treelined main street has sidewalk cafes, statues, and other works of art. All the buildings have been cleaned and painted in a scheme that blends beauty and functionality. There is within a block or two a city park with a bridge over running water. Close by is a minor league ballpark with a small attractive stadium. We stayed in a first rate hotel and ate at one of the downtown restaurants last night, We enjoyed an excellent meal with prompt and courteous service. I was really impressed with downtown Greenville. By the way, as you may have recognized, I gave Dorothy license to write this the way she wanted.
