\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My name is Josh Johnson \u2014 I graduated in 2017 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in marketing and in 2019 with an MBA in entrepreneurship and innovation. After graduation, I decided to put my roots down in Greenville, South Carolina, a thriving scene for new businesses. After a short stint in mergers and acquisitions, I put my MBA to use by starting my own Greenville-based company. This city speaks for itself, but let me show you a few of my favorite spots:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

1 | Falls Park<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nLocated in the heart of downtown, Falls Park boasts scenic views of Reedy River Falls, even more so from the Liberty Bridge, Greenville\u2019s iconic pedestrian suspension bridge. And this area is surrounded by incredible restaurants and local artist shops, and it\u2019s great for a jog, bike ride or stroll along the riverbank.
\nPRO TIP:<\/span>
\nBook a stay in the Grand Bohemian Lodge, Greenville\u2019s brand-new luxury hotel and spa overlooking Falls Park.<\/span>
\n <\/p>\n

\n

2 | Swamp Rabbit Trail and Unity Park<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nLooking for a unique place to exercise? Look no further than the Swamp Rabbit Trail, spanning roughly 23 miles from Greenville to Travelers Rest. Locals tend to take breaks along the trail and grab treats from the likes of Methodical Coffee, Community Tap, and the Swamp Rabbit Caf\u00e9 and Grocery. Unity Park, the newest development along the trail, is a kid\u2019s wonderland, complete with a splash pad, playgrounds, picnic tables and recreational grounds.
\n <\/p>\n

\n

3 | Saturday Market<\/span>
\nThe TD Saturday Market is a decades-old downtown tradition. Every Saturday in May through October, over 75 vendors \u2014 selling everything from fresh produce and street food to local arts and crafts \u2014 line several blocks of Main Street from 8 a.m. to noon. Hit the market before an evening Clemson Football game for some tailgating snacks.

\n

4 | Experience Clemson<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nLocated within the ONE Main Street plaza building, which also houses Clemson\u2019s MBA program, Experience Clemson provides a glimpse of campus life in Greenville. Stock up on Clemson gear and learn more about the University, especially if you are a future Tiger.
\nPRO TIP:<\/span>
\nA replica of Howard\u2019s Rock welcomes visitors and offers a classic Clemson photo-op!<\/span>
\n <\/p>\n

\n

5 | BMW Ultimate Driving Experience<\/span>
\nNot exactly downtown, but close enough \u2014 this exhilarating course is situated directly behind the Spartanburg BMW plant, which employs over 11,000 associates in a 7 million-square-foot campus, which is responsible for producing all X model vehicles. BMW offers several different driving experiences for all levels, giving visitors the chance to test their skills in the \u201cUltimate Driving Machine.\u201d
