They have oyster shells at their door. Find Ann Toad hiding near the entrance up high. She used to have her teeth cleaned and her hair done here. Two doors down, look for Chip Toad perched near the entrance. She remembers when they would buy tasty treats here. Head down the road where you find a sweet cool treat and you will see Flick Toad. He is thinking back to the great movies he once watched at the theater next door. Go to the corner of Main and Poinsett and find the dark building with the wildlife habitat. Look for Tater Toad out front of their doors. He can tell you when his family purchased lumber and saws from here. Our next Toad is a long hop away! You will have to follow Trade Street and cross two train tracks (look both ways) and look for the place where you can play on the playground and watch live theater shows! This is where Wes Toad attended church many years ago! Our last toad lives at 410 West Poinsett Street. If you find Tallulah Toad here, you can receive a treat! She remembers hopping around this area for years! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61770c8ec16a4f4891d1d210/1636512673974-FSTOJW9TS9KPLP8X2F4T/DSC_9706.jpg Toad Hints - On Trade: We start where the toads hop off the train! Find Duke Toad outside the doors waiting for his adventure to begin. He remembers when these doors were for waiting passengers! Trusty Toad hops across the street for a bite to eat, but first he wants to send some mail back home! Find him near the mailbox while he thinks about the old post office that was here long ago. Head straight up the street to a fine clothing store and look for the toad getting a fancy new look! Vaughn Toad is perched up high. He has not forgotten when he started buying his clothes from here many years ago! Okie Toad wants a fresh haircut for his time in town! Cross over the street to find him looking in at the barber pole. He has always had his hair trimmed in this building! Go up the road and look past the white “W”. You will see Sully Toad up on the building. He said this shop had the best hammers and paint in town. Look across the way for the purple and white glass! Bailes Toad is watching you from up high in the window and little Collins Toad is next door perched above their names. They loved to hop over there to buy their school shoes! Turn the corner to the left and you will see Rex Toad climbing up to a windowsill to watch the crowd. Rex can tell you about when his mom would buy medicine from this place! Turn and cross Trade and you will find Alta Toad perched above you, under the glass diamonds. She has bought her fabric from here for as long as she can remember. Up the road, you will see a set of brick arches. Look for Charm Toad hiding in the shadows below! She can tell you about when they would purchase sewing machines and ovens from here. Go find the point of the triangle building at the top of Trade Street! Planter Toad is sitting up tall waiting his turn. He opened his first savings account here long ago. https://www.toadsontrade.com/about daily 0.75 2021-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61770c8ec16a4f4891d1d210/1635783163546-1SHC4NWEFKWFJX4Z1L7O/DSC_1848.JPG About Kelsi Kennemore is an incredibly ambitious, energetic and driven 10-year-old girl who has undertaken the mission of bringing Toads on Trade back to downtown Greer, but with a historical twist this time. Inspired by Mice on Main in Greenville, Kelsi discovered that there were a handful of Toads scattered about downtown Greer and sought out Jason Clark (TSC104) who originally established Toads on Trade in 2009 with help from his sister. Armed with that information, Kelsi dutifully sought out each of the original toads, only to discover that just five of the original nine toads still existed. Letting her imagination guide her, Kelsi developed a plan to not only re-establish the toads, but to expand it to 16 locations, and develop a back story for each toad’s locale… tying that backstory to each building’s history. This 10-year-old project manager and future civic leader has not only re-established a whimsical scavenger hunt for children of all ages, but she plans to write a book telling their story and the history behind each of her toads’ destinations... each a slice of Greer history. Kelsi’s Toads on Trade journey is just another facet of what makes Historic Downtown Greer the best destination in the Upstate. https://www.toadsontrade.com/toads-on-trade-specials daily 0.75 2021-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Toads on Trade Specials https://www.toadsontrade.com/new-page daily 0.75 2021-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61770c8ec16a4f4891d1d210/1636511205812-6YHRW1UCGBV0FODJDK14/DSC_9770.jpg Toad Locations - Toads on Trade: Greer Depot - 300 Randall St 1913 Greer Depot Blue Ridge Brewing Co- 308 Trade St 1926-1935 Post Office Smith and James - 222 Trade Street 1916 -Present - Smith and James Bullocks Barber Shop- 225 Trade Street 1949 - OK Barber Shop Cartwright Food Hall - 215 Trade St 1915- Wood-Mendenhall 1949 - Sullivan-Eskew Hardware Greer Law/ Dress Me Lulu- 212-210 Trade Street 1940’s Bailes-Collins Department Store Upstate Interiors - 200 Trade St 1922-1969 Greer Drug Co/ Rexall Drugs Brian Bringham Galleries- 201 Trade Street Leader Department Stores - 1915-1959 Greer Chamber Of Commerce - 111 Trade Street 1931 Greer CPW (1st floor) and House of Charm Appliance Store (2nd Floor) Barista Alley- 101 Trade St 1907-1950 Planters Savings Bank (constructed 1925) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61770c8ec16a4f4891d1d210/1636511727882-ZM37IOIRU82YYOD36H7T/DSC_9785.jpg Toad Locations - Toads off Trade: Great Bay Oyster House- 109 E.
