1. New Greenville fire station replaces one that served city for nearly 80 years (wspa.com) — Greenville's Fire Station 4 has moved into a new, larger East Stone Avenue facility, giving firefighters better technology, more space, and faster response capabilities for about 8,000 nearby addresses. City leaders say the under-budget $8.8 million project strengthens public safety after Hurricane Helene exposed vulnerabilities at the 76-year-old station, though the future of the old building is still undecided.
   

2. Greenville police investigating a second shooting at Haywood Mall in four months (wyff4.com) — Greenville police are searching for a suspect after a parking‑garage shootout at Haywood Mall left one person injured, marking the second shooting there since June. With 25 weapons‑related calls since early 2025 and new K‑9 security patrols, officials and shoppers are weighing safety concerns while investigators ask anyone with information to call 864-271-5333.
   

3. Greenville artist creates mural honoring West End history (wyff4.com) — A Greenville-based artist is finishing a 70-foot mural on Pace Jewelers in the West End, designed as a "love letter" to the neighborhood's history. Featuring millworkers, artists, architects, and figures like Shoeless Joe Jackson, the piece aims to deepen residents' sense of belonging and highlight the hard work and creativity that shaped Greenville's character.
