God's Plan

Seems to be a lot of proselytizing on Main Street lately.  From street preachers screaming hellfire and damnation to wide-eyed young people wanting a "moment of my time." Makes for good street theatre I suppose. Recently I was checking my e-mail in front of Fall's Park when a white van came screeching up beside me. Next thing I knew I was surrounded by several twenty-somethings holding religious tracts who were all piling into the van like they'd just pulled a bank job.

For some reason, I doubt the claim on the front of this Hummer.

Disk (Frisbee) Golf Courses

Recently, one of my sons and I were trying to remember where all the good disk golf course are around here. These are the only ones we could remember.

Timmons Park - This a good one although it was recently re-routed and is a bit confusing toward the end.

Simpsonville City Park

Holmes Park

Gower Estates Park

Here are a couple more I found on-line that I'm not familiar with.

Century Park

Foothills DGC

I'd love for people to chime in and offer others they know of, both in Greenville County and in the surrounding counties.

Update: Hat tip to Otis for the following resource. Upstate Disc Golf Courses

Mojitos Bar and Lounge

My wife and I had a very pleasant lunch at this West End restaurant recently.  The place is owned by a Cuban entrepreneur who moved from Miami to open a business in Greenville.  I'm no expert on Cuban food, but I can personally vouch for their Cuban sandwich. 

A little more detail is given here and here.

Distance from downtown Greenville: 0 miles.
