Main Street Greenville
Fall in love all over again
By Brealyn Eckstein 

Once I graduated high school, I moved to Muncie, Indiana to pursue photography. There’s honestly not a big difference between Muncie and Greenville - besides a mall and some restaurants. Muncie even has its own little downtown. 

It’s funny though how much I actually started to appreciate home once I moved away from it, even being somewhere similar. Every time I come back I am overwhelmed with this sense of community and how adorable our downtown is. So many places get run down, but our community makes sure that our cute little downtown is an exception. Every time I bring some friends home with me from college they are just as amazed at how wonderful Greenville. 

I didn’t think I could appreciate my hometown any more than I already did, but then came Main Street Greenville. It’s amazing how much a community can do if everyone is passionate and determined. So much goes on behind the scenes to make our town what it is, and it warms my heart so much to see the amount of people who donate their time just to keep this place wonderful for generations to come. 

I decided to participate with Main Street Greenville because I wanted to be a part of something doing wonderful things for my community. My favorite part of working with Main Street is letting my creative juices flow - to come up with, and promote fun activities to get people out and enjoying Greenville. It’s almost like we’re trying to encourage people to fall in love with Greenville all over again or  fall in love for the first time and I absolutely love that.
