Greenville in The New York Times - Opening the Gate to a Vibrant Main Street in Greenville, SC
|
Back in 1998, few could have imagined Greenville’s transformation when Mayor Knox White began selling the idea of a park on Main Street incorporating the Reedy River’s 40-foot waterfall. Falls Park became a spark for a pedestrian-friendly city center when it opened in 2004. Last year, the newly erected One building — located at 1 Main Street — provided yet another stamp of validation and a new home for high-end retailers to complement an already dense selection of restaurants, cafes and shops. “Main Street was not an attractive destination,” the mayor said. “Today, it’s the most vibrant place in the region.”

Educated Quest: Harvard Alumni Association president gives back by paying forward
EAGLE SCOUT CARL F. MULLER left Harvard University in 1976, but Harvard has never left him. After returning to South Carolina with a trio of degrees (bachelor of arts, juris doctorate, and master of business administration), the Greenville attorney rebuilt the Harvard Club of South Carolina and began screening local applicants.
Thus began more than 35 years of service to the Harvard Alumni Association, service that culminated last summer in his selection as the group’s 2012-2013 president.
