(male speaker) F is for Falls Park. We're in beautiful Greenville, South Carolina.
ยง This was where the first European settlers
came into Greenville and settled along the banks and built the
mills-- the different grist mills, textile mills--
to use the power of the river. This area became very polluted and run-down,
and people wouldn't come to downtown Greenville because the river smelled so awful
and nobody wanted to be in this area. The bridge is the only one of its kind in
the United States. It's the only cantilevered suspension pedestrian
bridge. People just have great things to say all the
time about the park and what Greenville's done
downtown.
