I would appreciate any comments or opinions on Greenville for retirees from the northeast.
Thanks
Don,
I tried to email you privately but it wouldn't go through. Given your reasons for wanting to leave Hickory, as well as some of the exchanges we've had on another thread ( which I'd rather not bring up here) IMHO, you'd be even less satisfied with Greenville.
Best wishes,
Cassie
