Some years ago I took an online quiz to “find my spot.” The website asked several questions about your preferred city characteristics and at the end provided your best matches. I was living in Greenville, South Carolina at that time. Surprisingly, out of all cities in the US, Greenville was my second best match. Tulsa, Oklahoma was number one. When I saw the results I said to myself, no wonder I like living here.
Since I left Greenville in 2002, the city has continued to grow and develop, especially downtown. It’s a great city. Here are some pictures I took last week while visiting.

The Peace Center and old building by the Reedy River. I heard President George Bush speak at this open-air building in 2002. I was helping with the logistics of the visit.
