So, it's not exactly next door to me, but it is next door to other places. And on Friday, we opened a brand new Nordstrom Rack in between Costco and Cabela's (Raz's dream come true!) - in Greenville, SC.
I was lucky enough to be on the ground supporting the opening and had some time to explore one morning. Herewith, my photo diary of my first time to South Carolina.

| One of the founders of the area - this city LOVES its statues. If I ever brought my grandparents here, I'd have a hard time dragging them away from all the "hysterical" (my fam's word for "Historical" since Grandma and Papa can't get enough of them) sites. |
 |
| A beautiful Baptist Church is just par for the course. |
 |
| This city loved its bikes, its meat and its ice cream. My kind of place! They even had a beef jerky outlet - NO JOKE. Also, how do we not have a bike share in Seattle? I wanna ride around like Leo does in NYC. Not really, but I want the option. #realtalk |
 |
| See? It really loves its bikes. |
 |
| More statues. These were the first black students to attend the local high school. So much history here. |
 |
| Ice cream. Yes. |
 |
| Greenville's downtown was surprisingly hopping. I imagine some of that had to do with its Oktoberfest, which kicked off while I was there. No, I did not attend, but I considered it. |
 |
| So. Much. Cuteness. |
 |
| Bahhh, all the details everywhere were beyond photographable. I couldn't get over this little green and white moment. |
 |
| Clean, pretty, visitor-friendly city. |
 |
| This - and the beef jerky outlets - is reason enough to come back. |
 |
| A picture is worth at least two words here :). |
 |
| BRB gotta look up "Tory." Still cool, though. |
 |
| River running through the city. It was so pretty. |
 |
| At first I was like "Whaaaaa?" And then I got it - Breast Cancer Awareness month, y'all. |
 |
| This Army & Navy Store screams classic Americana. I loved it so much, I instagrammed it. |
 |
| Another view of the little river and its dam full of geese.
Greenville was such a pretty, happy little city. Whenever I travel somewhere new I think about how different our lives could be based solely on where we choose to live. What a gift seeing this world is, and ohhhh how much more of it I want to see.
