Book description
Greenville's downtown is widely recognized as one of the best in America, earning praise from sources including Oprah, Ben Stein, "Esquire" and "Southern Living." This proud achievement is a credit to the community that banded together to build something special from a decaying city center. The story of this careful, deliberate effort by city and community leaders has long been overshadowed by its success. Join authors John Boyanoski and Mayor Knox White as they detail the toil and tribulations that produced a world-class city.
