2020 Year In Review
It’s been a year. We’ve all had different versions of this year. Amid the pandemic, we faced unique challenges and for some, unique opportunities. This reflection is bittersweet. I’m so surprised by what this blog has become, yet missing the way it started. This time last year I took a staycation to shop around Greenville and make content to launch on January 1. This week, I’m barely going out.
I was going to write about restaurants, boutiques, experiences, all local to Greenville. And yet looking back I only have a handful of posts on those topics! Instead, 75% or more of the content on this blog is about our community’s facing the music of abrupt shutdowns, uncertainty, and racial tension.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of the strongest entrepreneurs I know. Some of which I never even planned to meet. Thank you for being here, and thank you for what you do.
Without further ado…

favorite food
Topsoil kitchen
Rated by yours truly, Topsoil Kitchen was the most delightful restaurant I tried this year during our stay at Creek Walk. So much to offer!
FAVORITE find
rockerbelles
Again, rated by moi, Rockerbelles is hands down the most unique boutique in this town. I may not have a ton to show for it, but my absolute favorite pieces have come from here!
FAVORITE FUN
Creek Walk Tiny Home Community
Oh hey, it’s me ranking stuff again. This was by far the best experience I had this whole year. I know this isn’t your typical “go do the thing” thing, but I will forever be grateful for the opportunity for this getaway in Travelers Rest.
Someday I hope to have funding (and not a pandemic) to host an awards show. Although I might be the only one cheering from the couch, every small business in Greenville deserves a standing ovation for making it through this year.
I can’t wait to explore and get to know you better next year and the years to come!
