Most Greenville natives know the story of the Mice on Main, but for those of you who don't, here is a quick overview. As part of his senior project, a Christ Church student, Jim Ryan, came up with the idea to place 9 bronze mice sculptures in various places along Main Street in downtown Greenville. His idea spun from the children's classic, Goodnight Moon, which he enjoyed reading when he was younger, and since its creation in 2000, searching for these 9 mice has become a favorite activity among the children (and many adults) of Greenville.
Today, my sister, and Austin's Aunt Catherine, came to visit and we took a trip downtown for lunch and a stroll along Main St. We quickly located Marvin the mouse atop the fountain outside of the Hyatt hotel and there we introduced Austin to his very first mouse on Main! We've still got 8 more to find and can't wait to make another trip down Main St. to find the remaining members of the mouse family!
