Look at the forum numbers to see which cities area getting the most interest. Augusta has yet to reach 1k. How many folks go to Augusta for Ideas? They don't because it is behind other mid sized cities in amenities and size. Can you dispute this?

If you're so amazingly interested in Greenville instead of Augusta, there's a whole forum section just for YOU. Just thinking out loud here...

If you will do your research you will notice Greenville was brought up. That's when I responded to back up my area. Keep Greenville out of your discussions and I won't have a thing to say, but if you distort the facts when referencing Greenville I will be here to get the facts straight. Oh, you can choose to not read my posts or respond. You don't run anything and aren't anyone special.

Hahahahahha GeorgiaTransplant.....Nobody cares about greenville here. It's the fact that people from greenville keeps posting on this forum. So what if Chattanooga is coming to greenville for ideas. Atlanta officials have been going to other cities to figure out how to fix their traffic problems. So again, who cares about greenville. Ya'll need to worry about saving your Shriner's Hospital for kids.

Newest numbers released today: SC edged up to 11.5% in April from 11.4% in March. Greenville County is still at 9.5%. Regardless, the lines are very long at the local Greenville County One Stop office on Pendleton Street. Unfortunately, I can attest to this first-hand.

And it still has double the GDP of Augusta so its economy is still stronger. Something else please to prove your city is doing better. You can't beat GDP numbers. They tell the real story. When you look at numbers you guys are behind anyway you slice it. Throw all the insults and name calling you want. It just shows the level of intelligence.

You copied all of that, but still didn't say anything. So let me help. Greenville GDP is 20+ billion and Augusta's is 13 billion. Greenville's economy is better. This tells the whole story.

Oh, and this doesn't include Spartanburg or Anderson which are a part of the original msa.
