Unless you live somewhere along I-85, Greenville, SC is off most people's radar and could care less. Not sure why so much attention is on it in this thread as if you would ask your average person in California and they would have a blank stare and say Green where? Charleston, SC has a lovely downtown and is a great place to visit and walk around, take in the history, character, and architecture.
I've also heard many great things about Asheville, NC and would love to check it out.

Exactly. There's one particular poster here who insists to try to convince people that Greenville is an amazing downtown. It is a nice downtown, but it certainly isn't the "prettiest in the country" is he claims. Charleston is by far a much prettier downtown than G-Ville.

Do you know how much traffic is generated through I-85? It is a busy highway, so I'm sure Greenville gets some decent attention. It may not be Charleston, but from what I've seen it is truly a nice DT. You would Asheville, nice little artsy mountain community.
Thanks to a very talented photographer, Vanshnookenraggen (http://www.flickr.com/photos/vanshnookenraggen/ - broken link) from the ArchBoston forums. The next few are his.
Other cities I have visited with much prettier downtowns: Chicago, New York City, Providence, Portland (Maine), Washington DC, Charleston, SC (G-Ville isn't even the prettiest DT in its own state).
I'm surprised that Boston isn't making more lists on here...it easily rates #1 in my book as far as downtowns go.
