USA Today's Readers' Choice awards has Falls Park as the 3rd best city park in the country. I don't see a Charleston park on that list.
Please keep in mind, Greenville has 3 other parks linked to Falls Park along the Reedy River. Starting at the zoo, the parks are Cleveland Park, Cancer Survivors Park, Falls Park, Unity Park. It is about a 2 mile walk one way between Cleveland and Unity parks.
The oldest city park is at the other end of Main Street, McPherson Park.

Greenville actually added more people than Charleston last year. It's area is already more populated.
Thus Greenville’s growth rate is slightly slower. That’s what fast-growing means. I didn’t crunch any numbers to see if any SC municipalities that are commonly known as our “cities” have a faster growth rate than Charleston’s 25+% municipal growth from 2010-2020. The Myrtle Beach newspaper might be inaccurate on that.
Charleston's growth rate is largely driven by retirees and the government related jobs. Even the power company, Santee Cooper, is run by the state government. Comparing its growth rate to a private sector oriented metro like Greenville isn't apples to apples.
BMW has employees who live all over the Upstate. It is probably a little closer to downtown Greenville than downtown Spartanburg and it has a Greer address. I believe half of the Greer addresses are in Greenville County.

Fast-growing is fast-growing. I’m retired.
Meanwhile, no South Carolina city is on Livability’s just-released best cities to live in in 2022 list. Where to live is really what it’s about. That doesn’t mean any list by itself means much.
Percentage rates are flawed. If a town has 2000 people and adds let's say 500. Using this it's the fastest growing. But it isn't going to catch a city that is adding many more people despite this growth rate. Especially if that place already has more people. Raw numbers are as concrete as you can get.

Every year, all that journalists writing about population stats want to talk about is “fastest-growing cities.” They don’t care what sizes.

Doesn't matter what they say. The truth is the truth. Charlotte grows at a faster rate than Atlanta too, but it'll never catch it because it doesn't add more people to it's area.

yeah, most of charlotte's growth is driven by annexation of any and everything around it. imagine if atlanta did the same.
i think the best the upstate can hope for is the federal omb to recombine spartanburg/greenville into the same msa next year when they release their official list.
It is weird how travel writers tend to mention Charleston in their articles about Greenville. It makes more sense to pitch another beach city like Wilmington as an alternative to Charleston. A beach stan or history buff isn't coming to Greenville for their vacation.
After visiting the California coast around San Fran and Santa Cruz, I'm not sure I can get excited about visiting the Atlantic coast again outside of Maine. The scenery never changes and I don't care for marshland and palm trees that much. I love the sea stacks, natural arches, cliffs , little mountains, sea lions and evergreens along the California and Oregon coasts,
