113 miles in the city limits.

I was wrong. It's 128 miles not 113: http://www.greatergreenville.com/city_services/GreenwaysMasterPlan/TrailCupMap.pdf You can read more about the overall plan here: http://www.greatergreenville.com/city_services/Greenwaysmasterplan.asp 113 miles is in addition to what there is currently, which is only 15 miles. 128 miles in total when complete. :)

I've been sending emails to John Holder with links to articles like this one describing just how good the job market is here: http://www.gsabusiness.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=53&item=33&Itemid=54 Notice it says the office vacancy rate has declined. That means more office space is needed in the area. :)

Municipal stadium plans. Article from Greenville News. No author:

The city of Greenville, the Conestee Foundation and the Greenville County Recreation District have put together a sensible plan that will clear the way for a Little League baseball complex at the former home of the Greenville Braves on Mauldin Road. The proposal is a winner for everyone involved and deserves to move forward.

Greenville City Council gave initial approval this week to a plan in which the city would give the Conestee Foundation 15 acres along the Reedy River in exchange for six acres next to Municipal Stadium and Mauldin Road. The city then would lease the Municipal Stadium property plus the newly acquired six acres to the Recreation District, which would spend about $4 million to improve the stadium. The improvements include refurbishing the stadium and adding four additional ballfields to the south of the ballpark, according to renderings supplied by the Recreation District. The facility would be tied into the Lake Conestee Nature Park. Greenville and the Rec District would share equally in any revenue generated by the facility over and above the cost to maintain it, City Manager Jim Bourey said.

The plan makes sense because it would double the number of children who can play in the Greenville Little League and would allow for the creation of a girls' softball program. Further, it would give a significant boost to efforts to bring Little League's Southeast headquarters to the stadium property, which would provide a significant economic boost to the area.

The funding for the proposed project would come from the recently enacted county hospitality tax. That's a good use of those funds, which are earmarked for improving recreation opportunities within the county. Upgrading and expanding the baseball facilities at Municipal Stadium have always been part of the County's TRAC plan that created the hospitality tax.

Greenville City Council could give its final approval on Monday. The Recreation District board has endorsed the concept and could approve the idea within a couple of months, Gene Smith, the district's executive director, said.

It makes sense for both bodies to endorse this worthy plan.

Smith said if all goes as planned, the facility could be ready by spring of 2010.

Municipal Stadium opened in 1984, and was home to the Greenville Braves, a AA Minor League affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, until that team left town at the end of its 2004 season. The ballpark then hosted the Greenville Bombers for the 2005 season before they moved into Fluor Field, then called West End Field, in 2006 and changed their name to the Drive.

The Mauldin Road ballpark has been for sale for two years, and has been used only sporadically since. That's a shame for what really is a quality baseball park. Adding four ballfields to the facility in order to give more area children an opportunity to play baseball would be an appropriate use for a facility that otherwise would sit mostly idle, and the idea holds the potential of great economic benefits for the entire area.

This latest idea to make use of Municipal Stadium has the potential to be a home run for Greenville and the region.

I think that EVERY modern city should have an extensive greenway system. Loved the photos :okay:

Well, you're halfway right. It's basically a master plan that would envision this. No actual plans yet for the county square site.

I have doubts that this will ever get done. If it does I think it will fail. There is no easy access to the area and the population surrounding it is not enough to support it. A mile on down main street and you're "in the country" with minimal density.

^This sounds like it will be a regional attraction and not dependent on the immediate population.

I can see g-man taking a few out-of-state trips to help some projects stall. If Greenville cannot have them, neither should any other city. There goes another great vision :lol:

This seems strange to me. Not a knock on Spartanburg, but DT gville seems like a much more logical choice for this type of DT entertainment venue. In fact, this is the type of development I would like to see in DT gville, somewhere off main, with a very classy look. It would be a draw in and of itself, a destination.

According to the IMAX website, Hollywood 20 will get a theatre in the fall of 2008.

Their title would simply be an 'architect'.

Architecture firms (if they're large enough) are typically divided into studios, or divisions, and focus on one type of design, whether it be institutional (schools, etc), commercial (office, sometimes retail, etc), residential, urban design... It varies by firm. It sounds like you're talking about an architect with a commercial design focus.

How will the IMAX work? Will it be part of the Hollywood 20 (sort of the way in which the Apple store is part of Best Buy)? Can someone please explain?

I just hope it's a legitimate IMAX. :lol:

I'm guessing they're going to take out one or two screens that are located next to each other and use the space to make one IMAX screen/seating section. I've seen pictures of one installed at a Regal theater and it is definitely the real deal. Glasses included. :D

Posted from my iPod Touch.

The IMAX theater going here will be very similar to this one in Knoxville: http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2007/Dec/07/jolly-good-shows/

It sounds to me like this will be an add on, not a replacement of screens already there. The knoxville article said they do not experience a slow down of the normal theaters, and it advertises it as Regal 20 and Imax, not Regal 19 or 18 and Imax.

I also noticed on the "search by location" feature on the left hand side of the above link that under SC, Greenville has already been added to it cities list, along with MYB). Also notice that in NC, the only ones are in Charlotte, Concord, and Raleigh. Not in Greensboro, W-S, or Asheville. This says a lot for Gville I think! :banana:

We are making our move in the city hierarchy, so it is not surprising that we are starting to be included in conversations with Raleigh and even Charlotte. Myrtle Beach is a tourist mecca, so the IMAX there makes sense.

The fact that Charleston lost the IMAX recently did not prevent IMAX from being eager to enter the Greenville market. The perception 10-15 years ago would've been that if Charleston and all of its tourism couldn't support an IMAX, Greenville certainly couldn't. Not anymore!

Asheville is not a peer city to Greenville, at least not in my opinion. Apples and oranges...

Sounds like a rejected Dave and Buster's. :lol: No easy access apaladin? It's off a four-lane road. :dunno: It will be very similar in design to the Shops at Greenridge Krazeeboi.

That's right and that is the only road. I was talking about easy access from other areas of the County such as a freeway. Of course there would be easy access from Cowpens. :lol:

Great to hear about the IMAX. I've been wanting one in Greenville. Don't want to b----atch, but how do you think it would have done at say Riverplace or the West End?

I think it would fare better than the one in Charleston. Also, I would rather see it located at the Woolworth site than in the West End to draw more people back up toward the Hyatt. The West End already has enough going for it with Falls Park, Fluor Field, Riverplace, etc.

G-man do you have any photos of any developments that are recent. (other members too). And if you dont how is Carolina First Campus coming along.

Also the economy is supposed to be alot better next year. So MPTC will have to start or they can close all the other starbucks in Greenville and put a super starbucks there lol

Unfortunately I don't. I've been busy working lately. Also, Regal cinemas will be remodeled with the IMAX being a constructed addition according to gsupstate.

So they are going to add to Hollywood, if so then we should expect another MPTC revision right.

Possibly. If a revision does occur it will be good not bad. :) IMAX will only help draw in the retail/restaurant tenants Menin is trying to attract to this development. From gsupstate:

Henry Schein will adding up to 200 white collar jobs. Henry Schein is a worldwide medical supply company with a fairly major operation in Greenville. The company is based in Canada. The offices are at Congaree and Patewood, in the tan brick office building opposite Jack in the Box / Rafferty's. If you drive by, you'll see the construction of the additional offices already underway. Apparently a Florida company was just purchased, and Henry Schein will be moving the operations for that company to it's Greenville offices.

We are making our move in the city hierarchy, so it is not surprising that we are starting to be included in conversations with Raleigh and even Charlotte.

I'm not sure that I would say this based on IMAX coming to Greenville, since Augusta--a slower-growing city/metro area as compared with SC's Big Three--is also getting one (which surprises me). Now if we were talking IKEA or Nordstrom, that would be a different story altogether.

I would. ;) IMAX only goes to metro areas that they feel are touristy or have the population to support one.

^That goes for anything.

I suppose it depends on what the base figures for getting an IMAX consist of. It's probably around the half-million mark for metro area population, except for smaller areas that have a large tourist base like Myrtle Beach.

I think Columbia deserves one. :yes: I'm suprised that Augusta got one too. I just wish ours was open already so I could of seen the Dark Knight on IMAX instead of the regular big screen. AWESOME movie non-the-less. :D

I wonder how Charleston lost its IMAX. It probably had to do with location more than anything, since it clearly has both the population and tourist numbers to support it. Greenville's tourist industry has been experiencing a surge in the past few years, so I'm not surprised at all that it's getting one. The population base has already been there for some time now.

Definitely location is why. It's a long walk (tourist wise) from King Street to the South Carolina Aquarium. I walked the distance when I visited last year in July, but I doubt most tourists would. I also saw a movie at the IMAX when I was there. It would be like sticking an IMAX where the Bilo Center is currently and expecting visitors to walk from Main Street to it. It just wouldn't and doesn't work. They should of put it where most of the tourists are located like on King Street or in the immediate vicnity instead of next to the aquarium. The Greenville location works due to Magnolia Park Town Center and everything being built in the area. Hollywood 20 is also the highest grossing theater in the Carolinas.

Exactly. The area at Woodruff and I-85 has become a retail marketing professional's dream.....IMAX, Whole Foods, P.F.Changs, Harold's, Swoozies, etc. all stores that have chosen Greenville as either their only SC location, or in addition to Charleston. With the opening of Magnolia Park (Apple, Trader Joes, Cheesecake Factory, REI, Z Gallerie, etc), this area will become super solid and continue to elevate Greenville.

I thought Z Gallerie dropped out. Great to hear they're still coming. :D Trader Joes? :uh: You mean i'll actually be able to do this when they open: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU4QJZb-S7w

You've got a point. It's been a while since I was in that general area, and it is somewhat isolated from all of the other downtown attractions. The aquarium is large enough to attract enough people from the normal tourist areas, so it's self-sustaining. But there's really nowhere on King it could have gone, unless you're talking about upper King, and I doubt that was even on the radar at the time. It would probably be somewhat even of a tough sale today.

What about a redevelopment project on Kings Street or in the vicnity? Also, why did the state choose I-26 in Charleston? Why not I-85 in Greenville or I-20 in Columbia: http://www.thestate.com/local/story/466461.html

Also, why did the state choose I-26 in Charleston? Why not I-85 in Greenville or I-20 in Columbia: http://www.thestate.com/local/story/466461.html

In terms of traffic volume, I bet I-85 through Greenville sees many more trips per day than I-26 into Charleston. However, traffic on I-26 into Charleston seems to get slowed a lot during rush hour. I think this is mostly due to the fact that there are only a few ways into and out of Charleston (because of its location at the end of an interstate, surrounded by water on three sides). If it were located more inland, with land on all sides like Greenville or Columbia, it wouldn't be bad at all.

Plus, Charleston only has I-26 dead-ending into it and I-526 making a big semi-circle (from way out in West Ashley to way out in Mount Pleasant). Contrast that with Columbia (I-26, I-20, and I-77) and Greenville (I-85, I-385, I-185, with I-26 skirting around the city through Spartanburg).

With that said, I do not think this makes Charleston more deserving of HOV lanes than Greenville or Columbia. Is this yet another example of Lowcountry bias? I hope not.

Per the article, "[State Transportation secretary Buck] Limehouse said he decided to discuss adding HOV lanes with his engineers after reading articles in The Post & Courier of Charleston addressing future transportation problems in the area."

That makes sense. At this point, Charleston seems to be a little more serious in finding long-range solutions to transit and transportation-related problems than Greenville or Columbia.

I think they should invest in mass transit in this state instead of more lanes on the interstates.

^^Ideally I think we need both. I don't think we are dense enough yet for mass transit to really work, but we should be thinking and planning for it. In the meantime, some new lanes will be needed, and especially as the state is often a lane behind on it's interstates. Overall, I don't see carpooling lanes working well in SC yet. None of our major cities are true major commuter cities like Atlanta or Chicago. I never see people carpooling during rush hour around Gville, which is even less of a commuter city than Cola.


As for the IMAX, I too am quite surprised about Augusts, but then again, cities like Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Huntsville already have one.

We need to get HOV lanes and wider roads on I-85 before it gets to hard to get them built its alreay starting to happen. Or we could some how build tunnels which are not common in the south but its worth a try. lol

When is it going to start construction? And if you say soon I will steal Raleigh-NC's penguin, so you better come up with an actual month or else. :D

Who is growing faster Greenville (and surronding areas) or Rogers, AR (and surronding areas)? I always thought Rogers but I think we have more projects planned still.

Yep, both Sheraton and Aloft. I'm excited about Aloft because they have a great vibe / image. Couldn't care less about Sheraton as we already have Westin in Greenville, and Sheraton is a step down the Starwood prestige ladder from Westin.

:lol: Look at Greenville: http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/text-messaging-use-south-carolina/story.aspx?guid=%7BE2BEF5B9-0D18-4ED1-A5FC-84E5917503F5%7D&dist=hppr

Wow, that's interesting. Is Verizon the largest wireless provider in SC? I've been a Sprint customer since I've had cell phone service and it seems like most of my friends are with Sprint as well (which was the biggest incentive for me to sign up with them--free mobile-to-mobile).

Verizon or AT&T is the largest cell phone server in SC. I have Verizon. You can't beat the "can you hear me now" guy. :D

I would guess this is because the DMA covers a very large geographical area with little relative density, and no major population center. Still, I definitely think a pro football team would work, as much as we like football around here.

Anyone wonder where Jennifer Valdez disappeared to? Answer = Atlanta (http://www.topix.com/forum/science/T685V5DQ5458LDPJN)

She was the best reason to watch WYFF 4.

Damn! I loved her weather reports. I never knew what the forecast was afterwards though.

She gave me sunshine on cloudy days. :nocrook:

True about the way the Upstate/western NC DMA is structured. But with the Panthers being so close (relatively speaking), I'm not sure if pro football would be viable.

Just thought about this: the Hampton Roads DMA might be the largest without a major league pro sports team (they're certainly one of the largest MSA's without one).

The state of v.a. Is the nations largest state without anypro teams. I think

That's true and South Carolina is a close third behind Alabama. We will pass Alabama in population in probably 2 or 3 years, though, and move into second place if Virginia hasn't acquired a team yet. With the population concentration in southeastern Virginia between Richmond and the Hampton Roads area, I'm really surprised there isn't a professional franchise in that state.

Well can I burst a bubble and say minor league teams are professional teams :)

Well can I burst a bubble and say minor league teams are professional teams :)

Very true. I hate when people refer to minor-league teams as semi-pro.

Yea I don't think people realize how hard it is to make a minor league team in any sport. Highschool stars have trouble making minor league teams. On top of that I don't think people realize how hard it is to make college teams, making a JUCO in any sport means your pretty damn good.

To be fair, I started out this conversation talking about major league professional sports teams. We're still in that same vein.

Yes, that was what I was operating on. And I barely consider us to have pro sports at all, as our Low- A ball Drive team (no offense meant!) just barely qualifies.

Yes, that was what I was operating on. And I barely consider us to have pro sports at all, as our Low- A ball Drive team (no offense meant!) just barely qualifies.I understand what you meant, but I would add that nobody could deny the fact that the Drive organization is highly professional in every sense of the word. Quite frankly, I am so pleased with the atmosphere that I will likely be disappointed to see a higher class team move in if it means we will lose this organization.

OK I thought you were talking about just professional sports, I didn't see it was major league sports. Doesn't Virginia have a NASCAR track?

where is G-MAN.

He is taking a trip to Charlotte with Bob Ellis. They have one goal in mind: to stop any progress made there and stall ALL high-rises :lol:

According to the video story on WYFFs site on the upcoming IMAX, ours will not be a "true" IMAX, with the large 50' x 70' screens like they have in Atlanta or Charlotte. Ours will be simply a modified larger version of a current screen, meaning you will still have to travel if you want to get the "real" IMAX experience. Call me picky, but this seems a little like missing the point of an IMax, or almost a "why bother" scenario? :dunno:

DL, you're reading through those dark negative glasses of yours. Here is the story. By saying "converting one of the screens" they mean converting one of the theaters, not the actual screen. A movie theaters with multiple screens calls each theater a "screen".

This will be true IMAX.
http://www.wyff4.com/money/17036896/detail.html?rss=gs&psp=news

^^:)

But check out the video on the link you posted. At the end they say that it will not be one of the big screens (actual screen and not "theater") like are in other bigger cities.

I should probably clarify, by "why bother" I wasn't talking about getting an IMAX. I am very excited about that, and feel we can support one. I meant that by converting a regular theater it seems you won't get the true IMAX experience, especially if the screen will not be full size (which is the main draw for an IMAX anyway). So I meant, why bother with a conversion if the conversion will not be a "true" IMAX (aside form them saving money of course)?

The video says it "appears" it will not be a huge screen like in Atlanta....but they said calls have not been returned from Regal....they then went on to say it would be a larger screen, curved and move forward toward the audience.....these are all the hallmarks of true IMAX.

I get the feeling this will be a watered down version also. The article in the paper said the screen would be slightly curved. In a true Imax the screen is much more than slightly curved, you feel like it is all around you. Also if they are converting one of the theatres it wouldn't be tall enough to be a true IMAX.

Well I did some searching, and IMAX seems to have "IMAX" Screens and "Giant" Screens. Do those words describe the same screen, or are they two different things. If so, it sounds a though ours would be a giant screen. I guess we don't really know since details have not been relesed yet, but any word on whether or not ours will have 3-D capability? If not, then it sounds ours will be more of a glorified theater with the IMAX name on it.

I really don't have alot to compare it to as I have only been to one IMAX. That was in Colo Springs when batman returns came out. It was not in 3D. I think that one was a converted theater as well. Can anyone confirm that?

...I guess we don't really know since details have not been relesed yet, but any word on whether or not ours will have 3-D capability?

I noticed this info at Hollywood 20 last week while with a group watching 'The Dark Knight' (a GREAT movie, by the way). Don't be too upset over this deal. At least it will be an upgrade for the current Upstate movie experience. I wonder if the screen will actually be larger than the big screen at Camelot though. I always enjoy going there as opposed to Hollywood 20 and Cherrydale 16. The experience is much more pleasant in every way, in my opinion, not to mention the technology is unprecidented for this area so far.

Thanks Skyliner.

I hope that DT will get a full on IMAX theater one day in the near future...

That would be nice. They may be "testing the waters" to see how much business this smaller screen generates first.

Does anyone know the incentive package offered to FedEx by Greenville-Spartanburg? A site in Spartanburg is in the running against Kernersville (suburb of Winston-Salem) and Murfreesboro (suburb of Nashville). It will bring around 400-500 jobs to one of those cities. I think Greenville-Spartanburg is the best location. So far, the best incentive package is offered by Murfreesboro.

Is this for an airport thing? I remember GSP being in the running for the Fedex hub that went to Greensboro a few years back. At that time they offered to build a second runway for them.

I have thought about Camelot as well Skyliner. I wonder if this new screen will take a lot of business from them and the THX theater. I have always enjoyed watching movies in that theater, and try to watch movies there when I can as they are "the little guy" in the area. I think their main draw is the THX, so I would hate for the IMAX to put them out of business.

As for the IMAX Jr we're getting, don't worry, I'll take it. I just brough it up because I wanted clarification. BTW, I also saw on the IMAX site that their true IMAX theater's have about 1000 seats, no way a redone theater would ever get that many. It sounds lke this screen will be very similar to the one I saw in Colo SPrings. It is noticeable larger than a regular screen, and certainly a step up from the smaller ones in the stadium seating theaters.

It's a FedEx Ground Hub. I guess this is the first time those in Greenville have heard they are in the running for it? Suburban Winston-Salem, suburban Nashville and suburban Greenville are competing for it.

Greenville has a regional FedEx hub at the airport and one off of I-85 near Augusta Road.

In related news, I heard a couple weeks ago that the USPS will be taking over DHL's deliveries because of the rising price of fuel. DHL will continue to receive and transport packages, but will no longer deliver them, according to the story I was told by a USPS employee.

That guy's been asleep for a while if he thinks SC, particularly the Upstate, has only just started being aggressive.

Any word on the John D. Hollingsworth on Wheels Company that still operates from the Laurel Rd location? I know the company is still in business at this time, and wondered if or when there are any plans to move or close the site for the future development plans of this property.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what the answer to your question is Qspeed. It's a good one though. :) Speaking of that land, a new 100-home neighborhood called Tradition is going to start soon in the Verdae development according to the newest issue of the Greenville Journal. I'm not sure where it will be located.

damn g-man I was just about to post that.

WHY ISNT ANYBODY POSTING.

Yeah I know! Someone email G-MAN!

According to this mornings Greenville News, the city is considering a curfew to curtail the recent influx of unsupervised teenagers downtown. Many business's have complained that this is hurting business. The city has added up to 20 policemen at Falls Park. This all started about 4 weeks ago. The curfew would be 11PM. My question is why so late? Why not 8PM? What good is this going to do restaurants etc as most of their business is done by 11. There was also a story on channel 7 this week about this.

I think this is a GREAT idea! If it doesn't get any better, put it into effect sooner!

I think g-man moved if you look at his location you'll see its not clemson, greenville anymore he will not be forgton from his development siteplans he showed us to his penguin jokes. Lets have a long moment of silences, lol sike.

g-man is preparing his next attack. He and Bob Ellis go from city to city in hope that their presence will stall every major project there. Next city you'll see in his avatar is Charlotte, which is hogging it all, according to g-man. He is probably trying to sneak in North Carolina undetected, but there is little hope he'll make it past beyond Mecklenburg County :lol:

He's not even going to make it into Mecklenburg. I've got some traps set up at the Gaston/Mecklenburg and York/Mecklenburg borders. ;)

Good news about downtown!! More law enforcement and a 9PM curfew for unsupervised teenagers on Saturday night. This was headline in todays paper. The curfew actually went into effect last Saturday night according to City Manager Jim Bourey. I was downtown just before 9 tonight and everything was normal and lots of people. Good crowds in restaurants etc.

How is the dunkin donuts flagship restaurant going, are there any renderings I just thought about when I saw Greenville, NC dd which is ugly.

Also are there any new construction photos of courtyard by marriott dtown.

How is that good for g-man? He won't be able to venture downtown after 9pm and take photos... Sorry, I couldn't resist :rofl:

Back to the topic, are there good destinations for teenagers in DT Greenville? Having a section of downtown where teenagers could have fun, without being exposed to dangers, and with a fair amount of police presence, would be a great asset for any downtown. Unfortunately, our city cores seem to cater more towards the adults, leaving a big segment of our population to hanging out at the suburban malls.

There is a place sponsored by the Y and Furman about a block from Falls Park, can't remember the name. It's understandable that the core is geared toward adults as that's who spends the money. IMHO these kids should be home at night anyway.

Its called FYI, and I think its a great place!

Not sure. I doubt they will be very tall though due to airplane clearance. At one time, two seven story condo buildings were in the works for this site.

Hey there G-WOman!! :lol:

Well lets hope there back on course for that height or even taller.

GREER IS GOING TO HAVE 2 MOVIE THEATERS WTF. WHAT HAS THIS WORLD CAME TO SUBURBS HAVE 2 AND 3 MOVIE THEATERS THIS IS GREAT FOR GREER THOUGH. If it is 50,000 sqft that means like 14 screens this is great. thank u G-MAN

does anybody know how many movie theaters are planned in Greenville (not the county just city), currently there is only 3 out of the county, but at our pace it will be 7 soon my statics (Greenville has 3 and im just going to say there maybe another one in the planning now so 4, Simpsonville will have 1 soon at its current pace, Greer will have 2 and thats it but really 6 because one in greer will be in spartanburg county).

also i hope option 2 works.

Hey there G-WOman!! :lol:

One for Easley, two for Greer, one for Simpsonville, and one for Spartanburg. The current one in Easley will close once the new one opens at Easley Town Center.

g-man, do you have any renderings for the new dunkin donuts, or a site-plan, also do you have a siteplan for The woolsworth site, and also do you know anything on the gateway site, and chicoria or what ever the name is.

Nothing on Dunkin Donuts and no site plan for woolworth site. Joseph Beth Booksellers and Walgreens expected for that development though. I have no idea what's going on with the gateway site. :( Sales office for Chicora opens in late September. :) There is a story on it in this week's GSA Business. I'll post the article tomorrow or Wednesday.

How much people are projected to live in The Upstate by 2030.

A lot. :lol:

Can you give me a projection its got to be over 2,000,000.

are there any new stores at Mcbee station.

Atlanta is what it will be like. I haven't been by McBee Station in weeks so I can't tell you. However, there are store upfits happening there so there should be new stores soon.

So 5,000,000 people I was thinking along the lines of 3,000,000.

There are a lot of Hospitals underconstruction in the upstate come to think of it probally more than any region in the Carolina's. I know about 3 of them but there maybe more than that Simpsonville needs to get on par and get ready for another hospital that could serve Mauldin and Simsponville, before they get hit harder with growth then end up like Raleigh Suburbs F****D. All they need is about a 300 bed hospital, Greers Village Hospital will have 500 when finished (over time). What do you guys think.

BMW needs to build something like this in Greenville.

So 5,000,000 people I was thinking along the lines of 3,000,000.

Either one would be a nightmare. That much growth in such a short period of time is a planning disaster waiting to happen.

2M is a more realistic figure.

And to think this was the cheapest place I saw: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f221/g-man436/078.jpg

We already have 1.2 million 2 million is not to big of a difference I mean its large but the way we are growing we are getting closer and closer to the Charlotte Metropolitan, and if that happens they would have to rename our metro to Charlotte-Greenville Metro which would be way past 5,000,000 by then for sure.

WOW That would be the highest gas I ever saw.

The highest I saw was a Texaco that had regular unleaded for $5.19 a gallon.

DAMN. I meant wow lol

We should all email Dave and Busters saying they should consider a Greenville location

1.2 million to 2 million is a pretty significant difference. That would be the equivalent of adding the entire Columbia MSA, and then some, to the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson CSA.

Charlotte and Greenville are nowhere close to growing together. Along I-85, development drops off rapidly from eastern Gaston County and doesn't really pick back up until you get to BMW (Prime Outlets doesn't count). Between those two points are very little signs of growth--pure country.

R u both going to post or WHAT.

Charleston dosent have a Coach store WOW. they got King st with stores we dont have but they dont have coach.

Haywood Mall needs another expansion.

1000 NEW JOB's in Greenville everybody already knows about it but it is being said to be Dunkin Donuts new hq, if everyone recalls they are supposed build the flaghship, and hq here so this is good news if true.

I have received the new site plan for Village at Pelham which is to be built across Highway 14 from Spartanburg Regional's new hospital. I have also received the new site plan for Dillard Creek/Creekside Village which is to include Bass Pro Shops. I can't share them though due to confidentiality agreement.

This shows Dunkin Donuts current and future SC locations not showing all of them though.:cheers:

Good God! How many posts do you have per day?! Anywho... welcome back gman!

ALOT OF THEM.

I wish Wal-Mart inc would move its hq here do you guys understand what kind of boom would happen, we are already booming, if they came I think we could suprass Raleigh in growth.

That is the last thing I would hope for. Please let them stay in Arkansas. Better yet, send them to Raleigh. :nocrook:

Here is my offical list for Greenville to boom badly:

We need a Major University with atleast 14,000 new students
A major research park with atleast 30,000 jobs
A major airport with at least 7,000,000 going through a year
Drilling for Gasoline
A lot of High-Tech companies
Something dealing with NASA with atleast 20,000 jobs
A major Bank HQ
A Amuement Park
And a major store or restaurant hq that is located all over the world.
now im not saying this is want I want but this would probally make us the u.s. fastest growing city

Clemson
ICAR/Millennium Campus
Atlanta is just down the road
You need oil underground for that
ICAR/Millennium Campus
This isn't Huntsville
Carolina First
Carowinds is just up the road
Denny's is headquartered in Spartanburg
We will never be the fastest growing city in the country

SHUT UP, and oh yeah how many movie theaters does Spartanburg have.

We need another hotel and entertainment distrist near the Main Hospital, there no hotels around that district so right now im coming up with a site plan for something I would build but I need some help from people who live in Greenville, like tell me some areas in that area that need redevelopment, or what hotel's, restaurants, etc are needed in that area.

Please somebody tell me how to pic's from photobucket on SSC, I have a few renderings

This is a new office building North of I-85 on Old Sulpher Road, there is a sign on the site that says new hotel, cooparate office space, etc tower but its just a 4 level building.

When is it going to start construction? Is it one of those Covington/Tutman signs you are referring too? Anyway you could take a better pic of it and post it also?

It's a sign you can see it if you go to Google Street View and go to Sulphur Road at the intersection and Salter's Road, look on Salter's Road and go up make sure the google guy is facing to the left and go on into you see a sign on the left.
