Wow guys. We did the greenway trail this morning and I hadn't been in the Traveler's Rest area in a few months. The redo looks fantastic! The work is still in progress....landscaping being finished, but overall, it is looking great.
While walking down the street, along with two different cycling teams passing us, a vintage BMW driving club came motoring down the street several cars long. Lots of people using the greenway even with the current cold temps.
Went in Williams Hardware and if you haven't been, you HAVE to go. Like a mini, upscale version of Mast. Great merchandise and they also have a cafe....open for lunch every day and dinner on weekends. Great food, wine tastings on certain nights, cool place.
I also noticed for the first time how the greenway trail runs immediately behind so many commercial buildings....watch for some future restaurants with decks on the back....simply step of the greenway and have lunch or a drink.
With the demographics of Furman, Paris Mountain and Mountain Park / Cliffs, watch this area boom.
Oh, also, the last leg of the greenway between downtown and TR is suppose to open this spring with a big kickoff run.
These pictures don't do it justice....go check it out in person....you'll be impressed. From a 5 lane highway to a quaint village area. Impressive.
