Two summers ago, an Easley Saturday meant driving. Downtown for dinner, out to a park for kids, somewhere else for music, home before the fireworks. The map had no center of gravity. That has quietly changed. The town's warm-weather social life has organized itself around one linear feature, and once you see the geometry, you plan differently.
The rail is the Doodle Trail. The two anchors are Old Market Square at the downtown end and the Southern Weaving mill campus about a mile northwest. Everything worth doing on a hot Saturday now sits within a few minutes of that line.
The spine you didn't know you had
The Doodle Trail is a tree-shaded multi-use path that follows the old Greenville and Western Railway corridor, and it opened in 2015.
