Greenville is located in South Carolina's Upcountry, 100 mi/165 km northwest of Columbia. It was a declining mill town that has reinvented itself as a thriving weekend tourist destination.
Its wide, four-block Main Street retains its old-fashioned buildings and tree canopy. Storefronts boast non-chain boutiques, restaurants, coffeehouses and lounges, and offices and condos fill abandoned textile factories. At night, crowds stroll Main Street and listen to live music beneath trees strung with miniature lights.
