Main Street, Greenville, S.C.
For lots of action within a short one-mile distance, visitors can find 100+ local restaurants as well as boutiques and attractions within one square mile of Main Street. A typical stroll might look like this: artisanal tasting at Dark Corner Distillery or aerial view cocktail at Sip Rooftop Bar, local shopping at Llyn Strong jewelers and J.Britt Boutique, a show at Peace Center for the Performing Arts, and a meal at Soby's New South Cuisine. Don’t miss live music on the Roost’s nation in NOMA Square (Thursdays and Fridays in spring and summer), For some urban nature, Falls Park on the Reedy is lined with twinkling light-adorned trees and features trails and the Liberty Bridge overlooking local waterfalls. Afterward continue down Main to the West End for highlights like the Fenway-inspired Fluor Field, the Baija Flor denim salon, the woman-focused Pedal Chic cycle shop, and art offerings like the Mice of Main public mice sculptures and street art at Art Crossing near Falls Park.
I think most people will prefer Main Street in Greenville tho. The tree canopy, wide sidewalks, and waterfall, plus new buildings. It has a modern look but old buildings as well.
Charleston looks pretty rough to me in comparison.
Many of the streets in Charleston far outweigh Main Street.
Another division of USA TODAY lists both Charleston and Greenville as the best Main Streets in America (well, even if Charleston's is actually King St.).

I would take East Bay Street over King Street. But if they are comparing a "Main Street," I still feel Charleston outweighs Greenville. There's rough places in Greenville, or anywhere for that matter. I'm surprised even a street in Savannah didn't make the list.
the list is talking about Main Street in Greenville, not rough areas in Greenville.
No street in Charleston has a huge waterfall along it, with a massive unique looking bridge over it.
True, but again, its personal preference. I for one dont see the fascination, but Ive lived here, well in Gray Court, my whole life and have been to Greenville countless times, just dont see the fascination any more. I can see tourists liking it, just like I like Charleston. Im sure if I lived in Charleston, Id get bored with it and think Greenville is just wonderful. I do think its great though that its getting noticed more and more.

You stated Charleston looks rough in comparison. I stated there's rough areas in ALL cities.
Yea, and there's also not buildings dating back to the 1700-1800s that are perfectly intact sitting along a harbor either. None of that is man made (except homes that have survived wars and hurricanes).
You have your opinion, I have mine. I've lived in both towns. I still vote for Charleston.
