Does anybody know the name of all the new hotel's coming to Simpsonville.

Motel 6.5

As much as I enjoy that these Upscale stores will be coming to MPTC, I really don't like the location, it give's people the wrong idea of Greenville. I wish that they would go Midtown. What I mean by the wrong idea is people will most likely think we are getting these store's because of I-85 being right there, so they will think it's just a highway town which is bad. I would like them to go to Midtown, because to me Midtown has a very bright future, It already has a couple of Upscale store's like Coach, and some others that I dont know. Woodruff Road has what? Plus it is not going to be hot forever, Lauren's Road is supposed to be the next hot thing, and Haywood Road has never really seen a major decline so if I was a major retailer, or whatever I would be locating to Midtown.

Also Midtown is getting a Ruth Chris if you guy's remeber, and it has it has a good concentration of office, Midtown is between Uptown, and Downtown so it has the most postive location, and it already has a good retail base.

g-man, stop playing games. :ohno:

Im so bored im just looking at everything right now.

ruth chris is good. but it's fairly expensive. i ate there at the atlanta location downtown. twice. but it was on the company card, so....... :D

s.......I had a good time going to tiffany, and bought some very fancy clothes. (Just finishing off the sentence for you) :lol:

g-man, stop playing games. :ohno:

:weird: :dunno:

I heard that the Samsung North American headquarters (Project Teal) might involve some corporate space downtown in addition to the space along I-385 in Simpsonville, but have not heard specifics as to how much. Anyone else hearing anything?

Not as this time. That would be nice though. :) Where did you hear this information?

I would like to know that too, But if it is true that's GREAT.

I AM SO MAD, I didnt know that the $2.4 Billion Project Skyline was going to be on County Square. That would have had a lot of height too it I can tell.

Is Patewood Hospital a one phase thing or is it going to expand in the future agian?

Please fire Tommy Bowden NOW. I'm so sick of this bullshit. :ohno:

You and me both. This is getting ridiculous. We're a laughing stock and the poster child for weakness and underachievement. Pathetic.

Funniest comment I have heard after tonights loss was " All Clemson players and Coaches need to have there Man Card revoked. Who would have thought that Clemson would be the laughing stock of College Football! Clemson Fans can only blame themselves, You guys keep giving the guy contract extentions. Yes I know that the A.D. makes the decisions, but the fans support the program with there money.

:ohno: Yeah the coach and players need there man cards revoked. They definetly need to step it up a level. They play with no motivation. Its like they are just going through the motions.

Bowden just announced that he is changing QBs. Last week, he said that the backup offered the team no advantage over the starter, and now all of a sudden the backup offers the team more flexibility. This is simply a pathetic attempt by Bowden to save his job.

Unfortunately for Bowden, a decision has supposedly already been made. Based on what I have heard, Bowden being gone is now a decision of when, not if. It could be as early as today or this weekend, and as late as the end of the season. But the powers that be are not happy and thankfully we should see a change.

Well that's good. I wonder where IF Greenville get's another Whole Food's Market where would it go. I think it would have to go to Greer or Simpsonville or do you guy's think Greenville can support three of there store's with a downtown one too. Naw that would never happen. lol:

Bowden Steps Down as Head Coach at Clemson


Swinney named interim head coach.

Oct. 13, 2008


Clemson, SC-

Clemson University and Head Football Coach Tommy Bowden parted ways on Monday. After two meetings on Monday morning between Bowden and Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips, it was agreed upon that Bowden would no longer be the Clemson Head Coach. He will be replaced by Assistant Head Coach Dabo Swinney (pronounced DA-boh SWEE-nee) on an interim basis.

"Terry Don Phillips approached me this morning and we agreed that this is the best solution for the direction of the program," said Bowden. "Clemson has been very good to me and my family. Both of our children are Clemson graduates.

"I appreciate the opportunity Clemson University gave me and the support of the administration while I was here. I also want to thank all the players and coaches who worked so hard for this program the last 10 years.

"I wish Clemson University nothing but the best in the future..."

This is a great move by Clemson. Bowden needed to be gone, although I am somewhat surprised Clemson pulled the trigger when they did. Dabo Swinney will be excellent as interim head coach. He has a fire and passion for the game that can't be taught. It will be interesting to see how the team performs. My prediction is that they will play hard despite the obstacles.

The fans will definitely be fired up this weekend in Death Valley.

I'm going to the game. :rock:

http://www.greenvilleonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081013/BUSINESS/81013040 Any idea what this could be? Sounds like a very welcome addition to the upstate workforce.

Well it seems very big, can I ask everybody a question does greenville county control different sectores of the laurens county goverment, like the us control's part of the japan military.

According to citylife on UP, it might involve ICAR and according to an email I received a few hours ago, it's going to be very big. :) I wouldn't be suprised one bit if it involves BMW.

CU-ICAR. WHAT cu-icar in the future will be a very important economic engine for the upstate and even South Carolina. GO CU-ICAR.

What is R&D? It sound's like a medical company. :lol:

http://www.rndsystems.com/
I know this isnt it, because cu-icar is supposed to be a AUTOMOTIVE campus not a biology campus.

? for those who might know this answer. What happens to the land that the Pinnacle on Main was supposed to be built on. We all know that this project is never going to get built. Does the land just stay roped off, belonging to the developer? Or does the city have regulations that the site be cleaned up.

It's still Bob Ellis' land. People were parking there during Fall for Greenville, and I assume it will stay like it is for quite some time without the city interfering. The parcel is certainly not attractive, but it's not an eyesore like the Peacock site currently is.

The best realistic outcome at this point would be for Bob to sell the land to someone else so that they can do something with it. I am not optimistic that Bob will ever pull off the Pinnacle.

Yeah, it's really a shame. I would of loved to see it get built. It was his own special project. I still remember going to the groundbreaking in February 2007. :(

Has anyone contacted him lately? I wonder what his plans are for the project? Is he still hoping to make it happen, or is he going to sit on the property for a while? Or perhaps he could be trying to sell it...

Well, i've tried emailing him over the last several months but haven't gotten any responses. Maybe you'd have better luck.

Awesome news!!!!!!!

WOW! Why cant this go downtown?!

That appears to be the 8 story edition, correct? So, only half of it would originally be built, with the possibility of another 4 stories added later?

It'd be nice if Saint Francis would sell their downtown Hospital's land and rebuild in the CBD. On Academy, near Heritage Green perhaps? If all of that land that the hospital currently occupies could be redeveloped with a masterplan and the density of Verdae/Pendleton West, then I think West Greenville and the DEEP West End's rebirth would be ensured. Ahh, what a pipe dream...

I believe that's the four story version GvilleSC. Why would they show a rendering of an eight story building if it's the four story version that's going to get built first? I'll try to find out tomorrow which version rendering it is. :)

Oh and Obama won the debate. I'm going to name my new company Joe the Plumber. :D

That's the four story building GvilleSC.

I'm still getting 8. Look at how small the loading area's cover is... I'm getting 2 before the building steps back and rises... Who knows, we need a better image.

They just showed a rendering of the hospital from street level on WYFF and it does look eight stories. You were right GvilleSC. :) It looks fairly tall too.

If we're going to do this, we're going to do this right. ;)

Where is Trader Joes in Greenville? Is it built yet? I wanna go there the next time I'm in Greenville. :yes:

G-man, you missed the new Best Western in Powdersville. :lol: Nice work though. Oh, and no more complaining about high fuel prices for the rest of the month, okay? ;)

Where is that Best Western getting built? I live in Powdersville and haven't seen it. :dunno: Trader Joes starts construction early next year and opens in early 2010 StevenW.

I bet the best western will get built near I-85 and 153 where everything else seems to be popping up recently.

Cool. Thanks, again. :)

WOW! Everything looks BEAUTIMOUS! Griffin Park and Verdae has so much charachter!

Just heard a blurb on wyff about flight cancellations at gsp. I think they said there have been 10 routes cancelled this year. I think we only had like sixty something to begin with, so sounds like our runways are getting pretty lonely.:ohno:


GSP, come fly our lonely skies!

I just saw that story too. Good news is GSP isn't alone. Every city seems to be getting flight cuts.

Where is that Best Western getting built? I live in Powdersville and haven't seen it. :dunno:It is right behind Cracker Barrel, visible from both I-85 and S.C. 153. Framing is going up right now on the 4-story structure. There are also plans for a steakhouse (please let it be another Texas Roadhouse!) near that same area, and somewhere else in Powdersville another hotel (Comfort Suites) has been proposed.

I live less than three miles from there and I didn't even notice the structure going up even though I drive by there several times a week. :nuts: :lol: Oh don't worry though. I'll have more update pics to post tomorrow including this new hotel going up. :D

$2.42 per gallon for regular unleaded at Ingles in Easley. :uh:

Here's johny. :lol: did anybody miss me? I went to anger mangement, and I do not want to ever have to go back to that place AGAIN. I know how to deal with my problems now (not issues). But how long have I been gone Greenville County has proposed 1000 jobs in 2 day's, millenium campus, and a new $30 million shopping center in greer that will be anchored by kohls it will have 500 jobs too. Go Greenville.

The number of hotel rooms in the upstate is rising fast, and why haven't they announced the company for project teal, I already know its samsung but I would like greenville news to say something about it.

Welcome back, Infoman!

I didn't know there was a 180 million dollar transit line planned between clemson university and cu-icar. According to greenville online on a story called fed funding local projects iff with sinking economy. Im on my sidekick so I can't post any links

Software company will add 200 new jobs in greenville named benefitfocus, my computer is broken so the only thing I can use is my sidekick and I can't post anything from it. So go to greenville news and see it, also in clemson there is a new shopping center anchored by something that we all like, now what could that be ,walmart, but hold on I thought everyone hated walmart, so does anybody have any other guess's im all out, unless its dave and busters but I seriously doubt it. And speaking of walmart up here in greenville, nc we are getting our second one, so greenville, sc and go greenville, nc.

Do you guy's ever think that another company will take over cu-icar?

Do you guy's ever think that another company will take over cu-icar?

What do you mean, another company? Clemson University owns it now - not a company. And no, I do not think Clemson will sell it unless it is somehow forced to.

I know its not owned by a company, but to me I think that if it booms enough, a large company will want to rebrand it as ex bmw icar, but its not just for bmw.

Polls are typically very subjective and should not be considered critically persuasive. Votes are all that matter at the end of a campaign period. Sarah Palin has more executive leadership experience (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fgl4gtEg50) than the perpetually-campaigning, relatively inexperienced, socialistically active Obama, and I would not hesitate to trust her judgement when serious issues are at stake since she has been proven to live according to her convictions, regardless of what the liberal and intolerant mainstream media regularly says or implies.

Dear Mr. Obama,
TG4fe9GlWS8


That's pretty strong. Maybe MccCain should put this on TV.

In general I take polls with a grain of salt as well. I think the media has had waaaay too much impact on this election so far. But we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I suppose the Ron Paul reference was for me. I'm flattered. :lol:

I voted absentee on Friday, and neither McCain nor Obama got my vote. I think both are horrible candidates, each for various reasons. It really lowers my perception of the American public to have nominated these two. I thought Bush and Kerry were bad in '04, but these two might be worse.

It will be interesting to see how the election plays out, especially since polls are such small samples in comparison to the entire country. Nobody knows who will show up to vote, and who they will vote for. It certainly looks like Obama will win, though.

Obama is certainly at an advantage because the liberal media is on his side (and has been from the start). McCain has to overcome Bush's mistakes, as well as the media bias against him because he is Republican. His campaign (nor his candidacy) are capable of doing that. If the Republicans truly wanted to win, they would've made sure Romney got the nomination. Even Huckabee would've been more appealing to the general public than McCain.

In other news, I hope everyone will vote for Bob Conley over Lindsey Graham for senator. :)

You can check out some plans for the old Braves stadium online. They're proposing a designation of the site as a 'regional park' as an anchor for the southern tip of the greenway.

So, you voted for a candidate who has no hopes of winning. Why? Seems like a waste of a vote to me.

So, you voted for a candidate who has no hopes of winning. Why? Seems like a waste of a vote to me.

Two main reasons:

1. I believe in voting for the candidate I most think would be the best President. If that is a third-party candidate (and it always is), so be it.

2. It helps make a statement that there is a growing group of Americans who are tiring of the two-party system and the ineffective principles which guide those two parties. Eventually, politicians (and the media) will have to take notice.

It's not a wasted vote, because it's MY vote. Isn't that my right?

That's pretty strong. Maybe MccCain should put this on TV.

Oh come on. First of all, this guy is in no way representative of all of the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The guy said when you call the Iraq war a mistake, you disrespect the service and sacrifice of all those who died. That's just flat out stupid, wrong, and quite disingenous--even of his fellow troops who don't believe the same as he does. We can respect and support our troops even if we think the way we got into the conflict was a mistake. What most people have a problem with is that we've gone and torn up another country and still haven't found the person responsible for the 9/11 attacks--not to mention that the Iraqis still haven't taken control of their own country. I suppose we could storm North Korea and Cuba tomorrow and people would be cheering that on.

Sarah Palin has more executive leadership experience (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fgl4gtEg50) than the perpetually-campaigning, relatively inexperienced, socialistically active Obama

Funny that you would label Obama as "perpetually campaigning" when McCain has missed more votes than Obama recently. And Palin has more executive experience than John McCain also; does that mean she's more qualified than him? Executive experience in and of itself means nothing. Look at how much Bush had when he came into office.

I would not hesitate to trust her judgement when serious issues are at stake since she has been proven to live according to her convictions, regardless of what the liberal and intolerant mainstream media regularly says or implies.

You trust a person's judgment based on how closely they adhere to their convictions, but that doesn't mean say anything about the quality of judgment. Hitler lived according to his convictions, but his judgment was dead wrong. I know that's an extreme example, but it still demonstrates my point. Don't get me wrong, I also admire her for living according to her convictions and I like Palin as a person. My mom lives according to her convictions, but I don't exactly want her a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Krazee,
You did an awful lot of assuming based on one sentence. I never said any of those things you argued, nor do I necessarily disagree with you. Just take it at face value. And actually such an add would be right on par for TV, most of them only have a sliver of "truth" anyway. :okay:

And BTW, I think these political discussions should be put in another thread. Both of the Gville threads have been seriously off topic recently.

My little rant really wasn't directed towards you; you just happened to be in the line of fire, LOL. So don't take it personally.

But you're right, we've kinda gone off on a tangent here.

Yeah. Why are you guys always going off topic with politics in this thread? :ohno: :D

I was looking at the early pages of this thread like page 1,2,3,4, etc, and greenville has seen a lot of development, and missed a lot of development, so when I go down there this weekend im going to be looking around hard, and I hope my mom and me get two different car's, like she takes her's down there and she rent's me one. Ill try to take some pic's but don't be surprised if I don't, because im going down there to have a good time.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. McCain and his friends keep getting dumber and dumber:

Can you only imagine:

Friday: "President Bob Ellis is slated to have a press conference on Monday."
Sunday: "Do you think he will have it tomorrow as planned?"
Monday: Nothing.
Tuesday: "President Bob Ellis said that there was a slight problem on Monday, and the press conference should be any day now."
Wednesday: Nothing.
Thursday: Camera crews enter the oval office, but it turns out that they are filming a movie.
Friday: Press conference rumored, but nothing ever happens.

:lol:

Barack is a socialist, and McCain is a warmonger. They are both unfit to lead our country. Next.

Like Bill Maher said, it's too bad that we only experience the downsides of socialism in this country and not the upsides.

Capitalism can't work without a little bit of socialism sprinkled in. Both carried to their extremes would be utterly disastrous.

Do you guy's think it's Samsung. We are easily becoming a very attractive area for companies, even in a very tough economy, and to all the people who are just finding out about Greenville, our economy has slowed down but it's still a lot of development coming in, but wait and so when the world-wide economy rebound's, GREENVILLE will be a little (very little) DUBAI. :lol: We have a lot of development's that will start next year.

It's not Samsung. That's already under construction in Mauldin.

I know but, the one in Mauldin is the north american hq, not the factory, so this could be the factory.

I know but, the one in Mauldin is the north american hq, not the factory, so this could be the factory.I don't think we're going to see Samsung North America move here from New Jersey. There hasn't been any information about that in any of the local news sources. If I remember the correct info, the facility in Mauldin will be a call center for their North American operations.

Why does NJ do this to us. BMW should have it's north american hq here, but it's in nj, now samsung should have it's north american hq here, but it's in nj.

Why does NJ do this to us. BMW should have it's north american hq here, but it's in nj, now samsung should have it's north american hq here, but it's in nj.

BMW's North American corporate headquarters was already in New Jersey when they decided to put their North American manufacturing headquarters here.

I was not aware that Samsung's North American headquarters was already in New Jersey. I thought that the headquarters was what we were getting, not just a call center. Perhaps I just missed something somewhere along the line, but yesterday was the first time I had heard anything mentioned about a Samsung call center. Anyone have any info?

The news articles say it was going to be a call center and possibly a regional headquarters.

Hey g-man, once you get some more voting years under your belt you will realize that the federal government is going to waste tons of money regardless of who is in office. That is what they do. It's been that way with education, the Iraq war, the war on drugs, and everything else they have undertaken. It will be the same way with health care and the financial industry. It is inefficiency and incompetency at its best. And the sad thing is, it's all on the taxpayer's dime.

^Very true. I already know that my taxes will increase no matter who is in office. At least Obama is willing to admit that some people's taxes will increase.

Wait. Wasn't there a surplus when Bill Clinton was in office? ;)

He still raised taxes.

And tax dollars were still used inefficiently. The current structure of our government makes sure of that! :lol:

Somebody's grandmother died and you bash them. That is just wrong man. Why would you do that? I know you're upset that Hillary didn't get in but that is still no reason to step this low.

I just found out gsupstate is not voting for Obama. Why would a gay man not vote for somebody who supports gay rights? :weird: Don't worry though. I'll send the cons and Ron Paul guru's gift baskets after they lose.

Obama is not the only Presidential candidate this year who supports gay rights. In fact, there are several who do. My guess is that he voted for one of them. That's what I did.

I edited my post. Re-read it. He shouldn't of said what he did no matter who he's voting for. If McCain's or Palin's relative died I wouldn't be bashing them. I would offer my thoughts and prayers.

The Constitutionalists support gay rights?

The Constitutionalists support gay rights?

By Constitutionalists, I assume you are referring to those who strictly adhere to what the Constitution outlines as our federal government's powers and responsibilities. That would include Libertarians, many in the Constitution Party, and politicians like Ron Paul (and locally, Bob Conley running against Lindsey Graham for US Senate). They don't think that there should be any distinction made between straight marriages and gay marriages. In other words, everyone should have the same benefits regardless of whether they are in a gay or straight couple. I think their ideal would be for the government to stay out of marriage entirely. The Constitution doesn't say much about marriage.

Obama is projected winner for New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. Dole is losing in North Carolina too. Good to see that bitch losing. :D

Where's Skyliner at? :D Obama wins Ohio. It's over baby.

GO BARACK OBAMA, im watching CNN as I type.

I'm watching online live footage of the Obama rally in Chicago right now and I have never seen so many people in one place at one time: http://www.cnn.com/video/live/live_asx.html?stream=stream2 :uh:

Obama's voting record, which is perhaps as far left as we have ever seen in a President, is a far cry from the more moderate sound bites most Americans heard when watching campaign coverage on television. My fear is that the Obama who campaigned as a moderate will not be so moderate as a President.

With that said, Obama ran a good campaign. That, plus the fact that the Republicans had their chance the last 8 years and blew it, spelled victory for Obama.

YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN. OBAMA '08.

Obama WON, yes me and gman are probally the happeist ones on this thread due to that. I just watched mccain do a bogus speach in AZ, and people kept saying boo, so to who ever says boo on obama fuck you.

Where's Skyliner? I need to give him my gift. :D

Look at the world markets go up like crazy: http://money.cnn.com/data/world_markets/index.html Thanks Obama. :)

By Constitutionalists, I assume you are referring to those who strictly adhere to what the Constitution outlines as our federal government's powers and responsibilities.

No, I'm referring to those of the Constitution Party. Given their close relationship with the Christian government takeover group that set up shop in the Upstate a few years ago (I forget their name--Christian Exodus maybe?), I somehow doubt that they are in favor of gay marriage.

My fear is that the Obama who campaigned as a moderate will not be so moderate as a President.

Hopefully, he learned from Clinton in that regard.

CAN WE END THE POLITICS AND MOVE ON? OBAMA WON! He gets 4 years to try and live up to his impossible expectations and then will move on in the ranks of DC! OVER AND DONE WITH! :D

hey guys! Any new development news? :)

Look at the world markets go up like crazy: http://money.cnn.com/data/world_markets/index.html Thanks Obama. :)

yeah, but the dow closed very low again today. :( -486.01

:goodnight

"I'll tell ya, Kevin, it's not looking good. The economy's not looking good at all. I went to the bank to ask for a loan and the guy said I was just going to ask you for the same thing. People in San Francisco can only afford rice now -- no more roni. I saw Mrs. Fields today selling Girl Scout cookies. I saw a guy at Costco buying ONE role of t.p.! The economy is so bad, pigs can no longer afford lipstick."

Is Sarah Palin one of these dog candidates: http://www.usatoday.com/life/lifestyle/2008-11-05-obama-dog_N.htm :lol: Hey, she said herself that she was a pitbull that wears lipstick.

This thread is dead. :(

The local franchise of Port City Java has closed all locations in Greenville. :(

Does anyone know how much the Dunkin Donut's (downtown planned location) pay's a hour?

http://www.greatergreenville.com/city_government/newsreleases/archive/2008/HaywoodMasterPlan.pdf Haywood area is about to release a master-plan NOV 10, I know it's going to be nice.

I hope when the light rail system or whatever comes in, I hope that Greenville will start building urban villages around the stops like Arlington, VA (maybe not that great in size but have a lot of mixed use developments around them). I was up in Arlington for the weekend and I felt stupit, because I have been pronouncing Rosslyn, as ross-lin, when its really like rosslind. It was a lot of construction still going on up there, and I like the way they build there skylines. I went on this highway called (um well I forgot the name of it), something, and when I was driving down it, it heavily reminded me of this road in dubai (I never been to dubai, but you know that road that has all those towers along it). They have so much going on, on 26 sq mi, (about the same size of greenville) like they have a airport, the pentagon, super malls (a lot of them), I think I saw 2 the cheesecake factory's but I may be mistaken, and a lot more. But when I was up there I like it a whole lot, but it doesn't give a lot justice like greenville does. In Greenville the atmosphere is wonderful, while in Arlington it feel's like your in a extreme goverment area, and this concludes that greenville will remain my favorite city.

Glad you enjoyed your trip to DC. They have definitely done a good job of promoting urban uses around transit stations. That is especially evident on the Metro's orange line going west into the Virginia suburbs.

By the way, you are correct to pronounce it "Ross-lin." I have never heard anyone put a 'd' on the end.

This lady at a restaurant in Rossyln told me it was pronounced Ross-lind.

The highway name is Jefferson Davis Highway.

Infoman is going to be thrilled: http://www.greatergreenville.com/city_government/PlanningApplications/applications/2008/December/PlanningCommission/12-11-2008/Z-38-2008-FDP-MagnoliaPark.pdf

I already saw it, not to much info on it, atleast not to me.

Has Trader Joes broke ground yet?

Has Trader Joes broke ground yet?

No. :lol:

It will supposedly be part of phase II of the Magnolia Park development. Phase I is supposed to start later this year. Not sure when phase II will begin.

:rant: Where is infoman: http://www.wyff4.com/news/17962502/detail.html

Left here I meant right here.
I never heard of the company before but I like it.
Nice find g-man.

American Titanium Works

There you are. :hug: Now where's my info? :D

um...eh...
All I can tell you is that you should go and play the lottery tonight you may lose but the computer's are messed up so you could end up winning. :lol:

Did you contact Bob Ellis yet like I told you to?

NO, I contacted someone else, but I forgot too, I will never ever contact Bob Ellis.

If Magnolia Park dosent start by Feb of 2010, im going to say f**k it.
I wish that all the tentant's planned to go to MPTC would go to downtown, like apple, the cheesecake factory, etc (maybe not all of them, some of them could go to a new 3 level wing in Haywood Mall, build the new wing across I-385 and demolish Haywood Plaza making a urban mall over the freeway). While the current site could be demolished for a development like The Point.

Speaking of the point isn't there a new development supposed to be going to the same site? I remeber when they said the point was canceled another development was already being planned or proposed. I believe it is going to be similar to the point. Help me out g-man.

Kalahari is rumored for the Point.

Sorry but what exactley is that.

http://kalahariresorts.com/

I hope that goes through, because we need something like this in the greenville area, and I know if it is a 11 level tower in Fredricksburg, than it will be like 10-15 in Greenville.

http://kalahariresorts.com/

I wouldn't mind seeing a waterpark in gville, but give me the point instead of this. The pont would have been a landmark project for the state that could have singlehandedly taken gville to the next level.

Yeah, but how will 10-14 look on Woodruff Rd? Can you imagine the traffic chaos now, along with this?

Yes the point would have been better, but having a waterpark is better than nothing right.

Yeah, but how will 10-14 look on Woodruff Rd? Can you imagine the traffic chaos now, along with this?

If people were smart and would use the road that goes by the Carolina First headquarters, there wouldn't be a traffic problem in the first place. The Point would of added density and made a greater cause for mass transit.

YES, keep preaching g-man. :lol:

Christmas lights are now up at Shops at Greenridge. I love that big tree they put up. :hug:

Cool about the tree part. :lol:

Another large TND development has been announced for the area: http://www.greenvilleonline.com/article/20081114/BUSINESS/811140316/1003

Greenville is off the list: http://www.wyff4.com/news/17982893/detail.html

NO, about the southern baseball hq, but horray over the new neighborhood. It's going to be in Fountain Inn too. (everyone should know why it's going to be in Fountain inn for, it's because two companies drawing over 600 new job's combined is going to Lauren's County, so they want to live in Fountain Inn because they know the can be close to their job's, simpsonville, and most importantely Greenville).

Is it me G-man or does one of those store's look similar to a Bass Pro's shop's? As a matter of fact all of them look like it. :lol:

edit.

Little League Baseball obviously decided to put their headquarters in a small town, rather than a growing metropolitan area. That's their right, but I can't imagine having enough hotels and attractions in a small place like Morganton, NC or Warner Robins, GA. Perhaps they are going for the old timey baseball field when it was played in rural locations during a simpler time. :lol:

WYFF said they didn't choose Greenville because they wanted a new stadium not a renovated one. Talk about snobby. :ohno:

So evidently a new stadium in BFE trumps a renovated stadium in a great city like Greenville. Go figure! :nuts:

Seriously, I have never heard of this before either, where is this? It looks pretty cool.

200 new jobs coming to the area: http://www.greenvilleonline.com/article/20081118/BUSINESS/81118043&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL WYFF also reports several companies will be expanding in Anderson County adding 125 new jobs. Just imagine what it will be like here when the economy rebounds and all of these expansions go through. :uh: Talk about jobs being created left and right.

Stumbled upon this place from a link in google and I like what I see. I think I'll pull up a chair and stay awhile.

Oh hey Sandlapper. Welcome to SSC. :)

Yeah, looks like the designer had fun with some pastels! eww

Welcome Sandlapper to SSC.

Funny how opinions are so different. I feel like this is something that finally has some charachter to it. Everything else is just starting to look the same.

This development doesn't look like any other that I've seen, true, (and thankfully so), but everything inside the development look exactly the same. A few changes in color and maybe the addition of a steep roof on a few... I still can't get over it...
