Net Nuggets from Greenville, SC – Day 2

Douglas Green — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:53:36 +0000

Yesterday I took campus tours at Bob Jones University, Furman, and Clemson. Bob Jones is somewhat austere with little in the way of ornamentation. Furman has lots of trails, an Asian garden, a large lake with a bell tower, and a replica of Thoreau’s Walden house. It’s a great place to walk, run, or bike. Clemson is huge. It also has nice trails. Try Nick’s pub if you like British style beer, food, and atmosphere.

Net Nuggets from Greenville, SC – Lots of Colleges/Cool Down Town

Welcome from Greenville, not far from Clemson, Furman, and other higher education operations. I’m with Alan & Anne Chorlton who are the parents of my daughter’s friend (as in a relationship) Tom. They retired here after moving from Vermont. This is a very cool town. Click the title above for today’s needles from the Internet haystack. This will take you to the Tweet of the Day.

I’m leaving Florida after nine sunny days. It’s great that my computer remembers passwords to places I’ve used Wi-Fi before. I also love my Starbucks app that shows me where all the stores are.

Fernandina Beach is on Amelia Island on the East side of Florida just South of the Georgia border. The school mascot is the pirate (think Jonny Depp, not the guys from Somalia).

I love shopping at IKEA stores. They have the coolest stuff and the prices are great. I can also get Swedish food, which is important to me as a Swedish-American.
