Working in Greenville, SC

September 7th, 2005

In summary, good food and beautiful place.

Before I got my current consulting assignment and came here, Greenville to me is equal to Cary to me five year ago, I’d thought this is just another town where you can only see farms… It turns out to be totally wrong.

I like the downtown area of Greenville, it really makes people feel something about downtown, that somehow reminds me the good time we had in Italy back in May 2005, here in Greenville, the entire street (Main Street) is full of all kinds resteraunt, nice or fast, whatever you like. People eat outside, reading books at street lights, girls talking on the street, coupls walking along the walk-way, very peaceful. I rarely see a city area like this…

What’s worthy of mention is falls park, which is at the end of Main Street, the liberty bridge has a really unique design, which according to my coworker, has won many design awards, let me quote something:

The bridge is 355-feet long, 12-feet wide, has a horizontal curve radius of 214-feet and 90-foot towers weighing 26 tons each. The bridge’s suspension towers stand lean downstream at a 15-degree angle. Subtle lighting in the bridge’s handrails and from underneath gives it a glowing effect. Visitors truly will feel as if they are floating over the park.
