It's Pumpkin Time!

These photos were taken at The Tomatoe Vine on Old Buncombe Road. I love roadside markets like this. Nothing beats the fresh produce found at this market. Well...aside from picking it from your own garden!


I used to take my grandmother there for fruits and veggies. She always called it "The Fruit Jungle". I think it may have actually been called that at some point in time. I still call it that too. :)

Swamp Rabbit Trail

This photo is a portion of the Swamp Rabbit Trail in Travelers Rest.

The nine mile trail runs along the old Swamp Rabbit Railroad from downtown Travelers Rest to downtown Greenville.

A Little Wiggle Room

The Wiggle Room Gallery is an art gallery in Travelers Rest. From the outside, it appears they have a lot of folksy kind of art. I have never been inside, but it's on my "To-Do" list!

Meat and Three, Please

It came to my attention recently that the concept of a "Meat and 3" isn't one that's known Nationwide. What?? How can that even be true?



If you've never experienced one of these the cholesterol laden meals, well, you just ain't lived!

Visit this site if still have no idea what I'm talking about:

Meat and Three




This photo was taken on Poinsett Highway in Greenville.



The Dixie is one of many Meat and 3's in Upstate, SC.





Yes, the photo is unbelievably crooked.
So much for my photography skilllzzzz.

I Know I'm Home When....

.....I see the Blue Ridge Mountains!

I love seeing this every day on my ride back home into Travelers Rest.

River Place

This was taken at River Place on Main Street in downtown Greenville. I love the cool lines of this building. It's modern, yet somehow retro at the same time!
