Where to watch Greenville Fireworks?

I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a good place to watch the fireworks in downtown Greenville?

I was wondering the same thing! Do you think Falls Park would be too busy? Where do they shoot them off? This is my 1st fourth here, so I have no clue, but any help would be great. :-)

Unfortunately I think my spot has caught on...I used to go to the top of one of the parking garages.  Richardson Street used to be the best.  However, I'm not sure anymore.  I know the idea has caught on and the last time I was up there it was packed.

Are the Greenville fireworks actually on July 4th? Spartanburgs were last weekend -- LAME!
