Hate to say it, Greenville proper is no longer the Greenville of Bob Jones. Yuppy heaven, giving Asheville NC a run for their their money in being progressive.

Wonderful. If they call their stupidity an “emergency” they can dictate any sill crap to the grey faced obediant little proles?

How is this going to be enforced if it gives people who can't safely wear masks or need assistance with them, a pass? I'd be on that list in a heartbeat.

This is reminiscent of the Taliban and their patrolling the streets looking for women not wearing burkas.

We were hoping to possibly retire to the Greenville area one day and get out of the hurricane target of the Lowcountry. After reading this, it sounds like we might as well go to Asheville and be done with it.
