Fall colors downtown Greenville

« day before | today | day after »


I went for a walk today to try and catch some fall colors. I was almost to late.

One of the great things about living downtown is that a planned short walk to the park often turns in to an all afternoon stroll throughout downtown.

Rick Erwin's West End Grille

The photo is of a flower arraignment in Rick Erwin's West End Grille. We enjoyed the meal, the setting, and the service. They are at 648 South Main Street across the street from the West End Market. Their web site is Rick Erwin's West End Grille.


The presentation was outstanding.

Everyone appeared to be having a good time.

Plantation shutters in condo

« day before | today | day after »
We are very pleased with our plantation shutters we had built and installed by Hummingbird. Click Hummingbird Shutters for a link to their website. Given we live in a condo we are most pleased with how they fold when they open. This allows minium space to be used when the shutters and the doors are opened.

Charlie's Steak House

« day before | today | day after »
You have to be good to be in business since 1921. So we gave the restaurant a try and were very pleased. The steak was great and we plan to be back regularly.

Charlie's is at 18 E Coffee St which is just off main street.

Saffron's Sidewalk Cafe

We enjoyed our meal at Saffron's Sidewalk Cafe. Connie had a salmon sandwich which she said was great. I ate a hamburger and was very pleased. Saffron's is on the lower level of the West End Market in Greenville.

The photo on the left is of a sign on display in Saffron's. I thought it was funny.

Stackable washer & dryer

« day before | today | day after »
The first purchase we made for our condo was a full size stackable washer and dryer. We can not imagine life without a full size laundry unit. At first we thought the stackable nature would be a pain however that has not been the case. In fact because we purchased the top of the line it has features which make our old washer dryer seem very out of date. For example the washer self adjust and never gets out of balance. Also both washer and dryer use the minimum amount of energy and water.

We purchased from Lowe's. The website address for this unit is: Super Stack Neptune® Washer and Electric Dryer

Try to imagine the installation of a full size stackable washer and dryer in the space shown. I measured and measured. Then I did the smart thing and paid to have Lowe's install it.

12 foot ceilings in our condo

« day before | today | day after »
You can see from the photo that we have a lot of room to hang art on the walls. That is way we plan to go to the "First Friday" tour of art galleries on November 4th. Their web site is: First Fridays Online

We also plan to take full advantage of the "Open Studios" event scheduled for Saturday November 5th and Sunday November 6th. Their web site is: Open Studios

However to be the perfect condo we have to replace the TV with a flat panel wall mounted unit. Wall mounted surround sound speakers are needed also. Maybe for Christmas!
