Today's riddle: What did the tractor say to the plow? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Greenville Symphony Orchestra announces eight musician appointments (greenvillejournal.com) — Greenville residents can look forward to a refreshed Greenville Symphony Orchestra sound, as eight new musicians, including principal oboe and principal trumpet, have joined after national auditions held here in June. With added depth across strings, brass, and woodwinds plus nine new substitutes, upcoming concerts will showcase a significantly expanded roster of talent rooted in the local community.
2. Upstate fabric company explains cause of red dye leak in Brushy Creek (wspa.com) — A non-toxic red dye leak from KM Fabrics discolored Brushy Creek in Greenville's West End last Thursday, but officials say the water-soluble colorant poses no environmental harm. The Greenville-based mill self-reported the problem, worked with city and state agencies to contain it within hours, and is now repairing the damaged drain before fully resuming operations.
3. SC: University community remembers Sept. 11, 25 years later (wyff4.com) — North Greenville University, just outside Greenville, marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with campus flags, a firefighter stair climb, and moments of reflection before a home football game. Students born after 2001 joined faculty, first responders, and athletes in honoring the lives lost and the heroism shown that day, before the NGU football team defeated the University of Charleston 42–31.
4. Charlotte metro rises in national ranking of top markets for new-home construction (wsoctv.com) — Greenville's metro area ranks No. 2 nationally for new-home construction, just behind Charleston, highlighting strong availability and relative affordability for buyers in Upstate South Carolina. For local residents, that means continued building activity, more choices in new neighborhoods, and growing regional attention from developers across the Southeast.
5. Bob Inglis (R-SC) (ithaca.edu) — Former U.S. Rep. Bob Inglis, who once represented the Greenville-Spartanburg district and practiced commercial real estate law in Greenville, is now leading a conservative-focused climate action group, republicEn.org. His career spans multiple terms in Congress, academic fellowships, national media appearances, and ongoing ties to northern Greenville County, where he and his family live on a small farm.
