re: Anyone live in or near Greenville, SC

It's a beautiful place. It's close enough to the big mountains of North Carolina that you can see them in the distance. I was just there over the summer to take the MCAT of all things and I was VERY impressed. I felt safe in the downtown area where I walked around Falls Park on the Reedy and lots of nice little restaurants to try. Better than any place in Louisiana and it's not close.
