7) Eikenberry's North, New School
8) The big giant Sputnik-looking thing on top of the Vints sign
9) The Hamburger Shop
10) The Party Dock
11) McMillers
12) The convenience store by the county jail
13) Winter Sports Festival

P.S. They're putting in a brand new decorative fountain in the circle in the near future. I saw the plans for it in the Mayor's orifice.

Oh! Oh! Oh! And speaking of the Pary Dock... Confetti at the GHS football games! Banished. snif snif. I'm getting all teary eyed.
What the heck is left in Greenville anyway? It's gotta be Sam Walton's fault. I just know it.
Even though these things are gone forever, Greenville has not lost it's charm for me.
Instead of walking around Murphy's wishing I could afford to buy all of the candy I want. Now I can walk through the tools section at Lowe's.
I used to get a good laugh watching Banjo dancing in the street or waving at Lightning and watching him wave back. Now I can go to WalMart and see dozens 'interesting' of people, all in one night.
