I can't speak for everyone on here.....but I know regardless of where I've lived there have always been things I've been excited to see open. Back home in Detroit I was excited when we got Nordstroms, Neiman Marcus and other such stores. It's always fun to get something new!
Then since moving down here to Greenville, things like Costco do excite me as well. But it's because I had them at home and now I finally get to have a Costco again! (Which by the way I think is 10 times better than Sam's) I love Greenville the way it is, but that doesn't mean I can't get excited about growth and development. It just gives me more new reasons to love Greenville.
