The downtown area seems relatively well preserved and walkable for a midsized/smaller city. None of the residential areas of the city which are close to downtown look urban however. Compare this to say Lancaster PA and the difference is quite clear.

ok i dunno what u mean by urban residential area. there are neighborhoods near downtown. plus a ton of high rise condo and apartments on Main Street and nearby. i would say the n'hoods off North Main, Cleveland Street, Augusta Street look urban enough.

i looked at nonsence's post history and he had a post in which he included Gville as one of the best downtowns in the south. it seems he contradicted himself in his post above.

Ok, i looked again, and you were responding to a person who listed several southern cites that should have been included and he included Greenville, and you did not mention Gville in your response.

Saying Columbia and Charleston have better downtowns is an opinion, not facts. i'm skeptical you've been to any of them, especially Greenville.

you don't see to many people say Columbia's is better than Greenville's. Greenville's is athestically much better and has a 30 foot drop waterfall right on Main Street.

Gville is much better than the Bronx. Fact.. that is about the last place i would live, along with Newark which you suggested above.

I think walkup apartment buildings are another way to go, if they are numerous enough that they dominate a neighborhood, then the neighborhood is pretty urban.


This is an example from Minneapolis, but you also see them in other Midwestern cities too:

The Bronx blows anything in South Carolina outta the water. You're just scared to come here that's all. This isn't the 80's anymore the Bronx looks great now. Matter of fact I'm about to make a thread.

ok you also compared Greenville SC to Rocky Mountain NC though, after stating you had been to Greenville.

i think most people would prefer to live in SC, if only for the warmer winters.

i'm glad you like the Bronx though, i don't get annoyed if a person likes where they live. that's your thing.
