Finding Mister Wright

G Home

This is the story of Greenville’s Frank Lloyd Wright House, the sisters who brought it to an established neighborhood off North Main Street, and its architectural legacy that endures to this day

Masters of Art

The South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities, founded by Dr. Virginia Uldrick, was first established as a summer program in 1980 by Governor Richard Riley.

Dr. Roy Fluhrer

G Profile

South Carolina’s first high school for the gifted and talented students in the literary, performing, and visual arts opened in 1974, and Dr. Fluhrer has served as its director since 1989.

Sacred Ground

Our Town

The annual tour raises money to benefit downtown’s Kilgore-Lewis House, helping to pay for maintenance on the North Academy Street home, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Fred Wooten moves easily among the stacks of drums, cymbals, and accessories that line the walls and floor of Palmetto Music.

Quick Bites

Let’s get one thing straight: If the bread you are breaking in honor of St. Patrick’s Day is studded with raisins, it is not traditional Irish soda bread.

A Dye-ing Art

Quick Bites

It’s that time again. Time to get out the plastic cups, fill them with pungent white vinegar, and plop in a fizzy tablet of swirling color to dye Easter eggs.

Cows Come Home

Quick Bites

Don’t laugh. But third-generation cattle farmer Richard Taylor is—believe it or not—allergic to cows.
