This week's GreerView features an update on the city's first trail project, info on the next Greer150 sesquicentennial event, and how you can get a little taste of Christmas in July!
Greer150 Mural Project
Work will resume on the City of Greer's sesquicentennial mural this week after a quick break for the 4th of July holiday. Artist Adam Schrimmer from Blank Canvas Mural Company designed the mural which was inspired by a picture of downtown Greer in the 1940s. Adam has been working on the painting on the side of the old Davenport building at the intersection of Trade and Randall Streets since early June.
You can get a peek at Adam's progress so far in our latest mural video.
