Making things better is nothing new for South Carolina s ninth-largest city. Then again, you can always go to the Hash House near the railroad tracks. That s where Miss Ruth Polattie has served cheeseburgers to her fan club for decades and waved her hardhat to every train that passes. In Greenwood, life is real, life is earnest, but life is also pretty much fun. I settled for more, announces Travis Moore, a lawyer who rooted himself in his hometown after living in Anderson, Columbia and Greenville.
Greenwood has a high quality of life for such a small town.
We have a great business base, medical base, lots of industry. And there are few places left where you can get waves from strangers. We had some friends from Miami who wanted to know if we knew all the people who waved. Besides an old Coke machine, they have a chiropractor s table and a pool table. They know the secret of small-town living is to enjoy what you have.
