My Favorite Things about Greer....Ed Driggers
Tuesday, November 29
"Introducing Greer Station to our many visitors is absolutely one of my favorite things. I encourage friends, neighbors, work associates and anyone I encounter to visit Greer Station to sample the wonderful restaurants and visit the many fine retail shops. A perfect evening can be dinner downtown and then a walk through beautiful City Park. Our downtown is the heart of the city - full of history and opportunity. It's a great sense of pride for me to showcase our downtown to others from across the state who are looking for examples of success for downtown revitalization. Greer Station is now a destination.
Some of my personal favorites include oysters from Great Bay Oyster House, the fillet at Strip Club 106, the lobster cigars at Cazbah, sushi and show at Mimi's, the pimento cheese appetizer at Bin 112, pizza and a beer from Wild Ace, black bean soup from Rivera's, a traditional meat and three from Mason Jar, a salad from Trade Street Café, and a good ol' breakfast like Mom used to make from Southern Thymes. However, food's not the only thing to experience in downtown. I can shop for almost any special occasion for my wife or daughters in Greer Station - the selections are great and the prices are affordable.
Go anywhere else... Why?"
