G-Vegas

Name given to the Greenville uptown area city proper. The area has coffee shops, dining and plenty of eclectic fashion shops reminiscent of NYC's East Village back in the late 60's heyday. After 9pm clubs in Uptown (which is called going to downtown) and all over the rest of Greenville start lighting up with events, music, live entertainment and Karaoke. A lot of this scene spills out onto the street just like in Vegas, however only the Gambling is missing. If you've kept reading then here you will find the term has been out of use since 2007. In 2006 I coined the phrase "G'Ville" for this same area. Born and raised in the projects of NYC I noticed how many G's were here, and a lot of old G's (O.G's. original gangsters). If you know the Nicky Barne's story you know the surrounding area is where he and his family came from. Many soldiers and lieutenants of Nicky are left around in the Greenville (G'Ville) NC area, who will go unnamed here. *See G'Ville
