Before I begin, I've been having problems commenting on Wordpress blogs. I've tried to log in using two different methods. Some Wordpress blogs don't seem to permit commenting without a login. If you are waiting for a comment from me for the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, please be patient.
For "D" day in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, I am going to visit some downtowns in South Carolina.

| Downtown Camden, South Carolina |

| The Battery, Charleston, South Carolina |
Charleston, South Carolina is the largest city in South Carolina, with a 2021 population of 151,600. Its metropolitan area includes Summerville, which I visited in my "A" post. The downtown has many historic buildings and is a "must see" attraction.

| Farmers Market, downtown Columbia, South Carolina, 2015 |
Columbia is the capital of South Carolina ,and I will be visiting it again tomorrow for "E" day in the Challenge.
Last, but not least, is Greenville, South Carolina, which spouse and I visited this past February. This is one of the most beautiful downtowns I have ever seen.
The downtown is full of art, some of which I'll feature in future posts. This is a statue honoring former Governor of South Carolina Dick Riley, the only Governor who came from Greenville. This is located at the downtown Peace Center and says "Education Really Matters". He was also a former Secretary of Education.
One more art installation in downtown Greenville.
Tomorrow, we visit the capitol of South Carolina for a special occasion.

I normally don't allow anonymous comments on my blogs but turned that option on for the A-Z. I've had issues trying to post comments on blogspot blogs if I'm on my iPad so I stick to the desktop. LOL!

I loved visiting Charleston, except for the humidity - in April, no less. I also have trouble with comments on WordPress blogs. I cannot use my Google ID but have to post with my name and AOL address. A pain.
ReplyDeleteWish I could have come along with you. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can comment on my blog easily.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
I love the mural on the Charleston market. I wonder what the story is there?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love historic downtowns! (These are gorgeous!)
ReplyDeleteI think because we don't have one here where I live. This province is famous for its oh-this-building-is-50-years-old-we-must-tear-it-down-and-build-new! We really have NO downtown in Edmonton. They are doing better here in Beaumont--it's at least distinctive. But again...new.
Creative photos of a lovely downtown area ~ love the sculpture honoring former Governor Riley ~

Never been to South Carolina, and you're whetting my appetite to check it out!
ReplyDeleteThose look like some nice downtowns.
ReplyDeleteVery cool photos! Looking forward to what will come next!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the A to Z challenge. I lived in Columbia, S.C. for 2 years from 1995 to 1997. Moved back to Illinois to marry my wife and on April 11th we we will have been married 25 years. I have not been back to South Carolina but this post reminds me of how much I miss it.
ReplyDeleteOh, to visit Charleston would be a dream come true for me. Actually, on my bucket list as my Geneaology is rooted there...plus...'Gone With the Wind...my favorite historical novel. Your tour settles it...top on Bucket List of places to visit. Thanks! CollectInTexasGal
ReplyDeleteFINALLY, I have the option here to log in with my real name! Something changed! Yaya!
ReplyDeleteI changed settings to allow anonymous posts for the month of April and this also allows people who don't have Google accounts to comment. I may extend it past April if I don't get a lot of spam. We'll see.
DeleteThere's so much public art everywhere in the USA, it's lovely. Not so common in the places I've lived.
