I work in downtown Greer and was actually working that event in the park at the beginning of the video! The park is GORGEOUS and huge! Multiple levels with a pond and gazebo at the bottom. Greer is a wonderful place to visit.
What a fabulous, clean place! Downtown Greer, SC, wow! Now that's a beautiful town center that's thriving and lively. I give it five 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟! Timothy, this tour was enjoyable! Thank you for all that you do! Stay safe out there. GOD bless!
The problem with this video--which I can only presume would be the problem with all this kind of video--is that it is exclusively about the little downtowns of these towns. And the problem with THAT -- and I'm speaking of this video on Greer in particular-- is that the downtown area has undergone a transformation in recent years to conform it with the trendy millennial idea of what a small city like Greer should be. Trendy restaurants. Converted, trendy shops. Trendy venues. Lots of trendy beer and wine places. Trendy, trendy, trendy. Well, I LIVE IN GREER, and the trendy millennials are a small subset of the Greer residents. They've even built their own downtown apartments/condos in the heart of the town, so they can live down there and almost never leave. But Greer is MUCH more than these trendy millennials. Anyone who has lived here a long time knows that. In fact, a lot of people who call Greer home don't frequent its downtown area nowadays. It's too hard to find convenient parking. The prices are too high. There isn't the variety of shopping there used to be. Unless they have to go to city court, they may not go downtown at all. To be fair, it's probably an impossible task to try to sum up the nature of every small city or town in a state in a short amount of time. But why not be more accurate and just SAY that you're going to tell people about the DOWNTOWN of all these little cities?
Thanks for the local information. And I agree with your thoughts on the high prices that come with trendy. As far as only filming in the town centers, that’s what this series of videos is about, as I’m on a quest to visit every town center in North and South Carolina and could not finish in a reasonable amount of time if I did more. Thanks for watching And thanks for posting 👍

It is. I want to bring my wife back to explore more of it.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Timothy.

I will. And thank you for commenting 👍
@@TimothyFrench You, my friend, are very welcome!
This is my hometown. Amazing what they’ve done. Watched downtown decline in the 70s to basically a ghost town in the 80s. Wonderful downtown now.
@gigglybeast It is great example for what can be done for a town center in decline.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍
Just found your channel and I Liked and Subscribed. Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend.

Thans! Timothy, the video is very informative.

Loved it when I was there.
