POLE-VAULTING SKILLS
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHY
GREENVILLE, AND NOW, IT’S MAYOR,
IS GETTING SO MUCH NATIONAL
ATTENTIO
MANY THINGS HAVE BEEN SAID AND
WRITTEN ABOUT GREENVILLE, FROM
ITS RESTAURANTS TO ITS WALKABL
DOWNTOWN.
AND WHILE ALL THAT WAS MENTIONED
IN THE TIME MAGAZINE ARTICLE.
NAMING MAYOR KNOX WHITE AS ONE
OF 31 PEOPLE CHANGING THE SOUTH,
WHITE SAYS IT BOILS DOWN TO
THIS.
>> I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE THAT THE
SECRET TO DOWNTOWN GREENVILLE IS
TREES AND WATER.
>> HE HAS BEEN MAYOR SINCE 1995.
HE SAYS THAT THE LUS LANDSCAPE
AND THE REEDY RIVER HAS HELPED.
>> IS A GOOD LESSON TO FIND OUT
WHAT MAKES YOUR CITY UNIQUE AND
DIFFERENT.
>> THE REST, HE SAYS, THE
APARTMENTS, RESTAURANTS, RETAI
STORES AND WALKABLE DOWNTOWN,
BLOSSOMED AROUND THE REEDY RIVER
FALLS, AND WILL KEEP GROWING FOR
THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
>> YOU’LL HAVE MORE DEVELOPMENT.
YOU’LL HAVE HIGHER BUILDINGS.
YOU’LL HAVE MORE PEOPLE HERE,
BUT THE KEY IS, WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU AND I ARE WALKING ON
THE SIDEWALK
>> APPARENTLY, SO MUCH IS
HAPPENING, IT CAUGHT THE
ATTENTION OF A NATIONAL
MAGAZINE.
AND IF YOU COME DOWN TO LIBERTY
BRIDGE IN FALLS PARK IN THE NEXT
THIRTY MINUTES, YOU’LL SEE THIS
HAPPENING.
