Is there any good way to help spread out the people at this event? It already takes up a large land area, but the clogging effect was a little ridiculous...
I agree. I think they need to think about branching over to Spring St. or something. If anything bad would have happened in the crowd, there would have been a very unsafe stampede.

Snap Shot Cafe closed its doors Saturday Night. Sorry to hear that.
Wow - I was just there on Friday night. Had no idea. I have to admit the food quality had gone down. But, I used to love going to the breakfast buffet on Saturdays before they shut that down.

I personally think it's kinda cool looking, but, in any case, I certainly don't agree with this:
...and should be reserved for a high quality development, with a high visual appeal.I think it looks both high quality and has high visual appeal. Also hope it spurs some more development in this area. The poor Brio is kind of marooned.

Art in the Park 2008 is this weekend - at Fluor Field for the first time. Link

Wow! I love it. That will be very distinctive on that corner.

How is it a shame?
If anything, it's a blessing. It's urban, TND, adds to city population, cuts down on sprawl, etc. Sounds like a win-win in my book. If there's a historic house on site then they could easily move it to another location.Hey, I live in the city and hate sprawl as much as the next girl - but, where are the details on this development? If it is done right and they preserve the house, then we'll see. If you have specifics you'd like to share, then by all means, please do so.

This residential development is proposed for Grove Rd at the entrance to Swansgate. It appears to be very dense.
What a shame. Isn't that where that beautiful, historic house is?

I also think it is just the tiles - DPC agenda

Maybe CNN is smart enough to know that Greenville isn't a small city...
I think the point was that no SC cities ended up on the list. I noticed there were a lot of states that didn't have any in the list including (GA, AL, MS, AR, KY).

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that linkerjpatrick is not a fan of Dunkin' Donuts.
It is funny how some people are so passionate about their doughnuts! I admire your loyalty, linkerjpatrick!

Many of the retailers close because after a certain hour you get groups of people (especially on the weekends) and a lot more shoplifting and rowdiness because people are geared up for a night out.
I had no idea that shoplifting was such a huge problem. This explains why in some stores (Venti and Ayers are the worst) I often have an employee tailing me throughout the store. Makes my shopping VERY uncomfortable. I don't THINK I look shifty.
Anyhow, this explains the reasoning. -
I've only been to Downtown Alive a handful of times. May 1st's crowd looks to have been HUGE! The Greenville News' photos here give a glimpse of the atmosphere.
Here's an overall shot of the crowd from Greenvilleonline.com: Downtown Alive!
I had no idea crowds this large were being drawn!
I've been a couple of times this season, and I think the crowds are larger this year than in years past. In fact, I'm not sure that the Piazza Bergamo could have contained the number of people that the event is getting this year!

Maybe now is a good time to get a sweet deal on one of their homes.
I would think that now is a buyer's market for almost any home.

I mean what if I called her town Clevelands?
Or Clevesland.

I personally haven't been happy with the shows that the BiLo center has been pulling in. I live in the city within walking distance of the BiLo center but often have to go to Clemson to see bands I like. Guess it is just a matter of taste. I also would like for the BiLo center to step up and meet this competition.

BiLo Center is getting ready to get some competition from the Simpsonville ampitheater - Gville News Article

I don't think $900 a month is that bad considering the location.
Just a disclaimer... I pulled the "Starting at $900/month" figure off of Apartmentfinder.com. I personally don't know what these rent for.
-
second, you MUST realize that apartments are RENTAL and you cannot spend the same $ on them as for sale units, yoU WILL lose MONEY. The cost of all brick would greatly exceed the marginal amount of rent that the market would pay for that.
I just don't buy it. These apartments are on the higher end of the spectrum, rent-wise (1 BR start at $900) and are marketed as "luxury". Despite that, both reviews on apartmentratings.com complain about noise. Not sure these were constructed as well as they could be and the designers could have done better. I think they cheaped out.
-
Does everyone like the new design? I think I might have liked the old one better. This one looks more like a hospital in comparison. I can almost smell the rubbing alcohol... There's nothing fun or exciting about it. I mean UP's page is nice, but it's not going to get me excited about attending a quality baseball game at a top-notch facility... and neither does this new design.
I liked the brick on the former design better!

Searched, but haven't seen this one yet... There is a new 5 unit development going in on Townes (between Park and Stone) called Craftsman Court. Looks pretty nice. They already have people out there working. Craftsman Court link.

They have definitely grown on me. One thing that will help is the trees. They planted fairly heavily around the apartments....as the trees mature, I think the whole development will take on a better look. It should age well.
If anything, I dislike these apartments more and more everytime I see them. The Publix/Staples development is well done. But, even with heavily planted trees, I do not think the apartment complex will age well. I hope that time proves me wrong, but currently I think these are a huge eyesore. I am sorely disappointed with this design.

Dined at Tako-Sushi last night. We had a variety of sushi and southwest dishes around the table. The food was fine, but the service was not.
Normally, service complaints are due to inattention from the wait staff. In our case, our waiter bugged us to bits! If the place hadn't only been half-full I would have absolutely thought that he was trying to quick-turn his table. He came by literally every 2-3 minutes to ask if we were ready to order. Mind you, our group hadn't seen each other in a while and were trying to catch up with one another. After our food came our waiter totally cleaned up the table including the soy sauce and condiments, except for the person who hadn't finished - making her feel like she'd better hurry up. Within seconds (no exaggeration) of her putting down her chopsticks, her plate was removed. It was unbelieveable. I'm not sure if he thought he was being ultra-efficient but it only made us feel rushed and uncomfortable. Hopefully, someone more experienced at waiting tables gives him some pointers...

I heard a rumor last night that the property at Stone and Main is going to be a grocery store. Doesn't seem quite big enough for me, but what do I know?
I also heard that rumor - my rumor said Bloom.
If anything, it's a blessing. It's urban, TND, adds to city population, cuts down on sprawl, etc. Sounds like a win-win in my book. If there's a historic house on site then they could easily move it to another location.
Anyhow, this explains the reasoning.

Wow - funny. I usually have the exact opposite experience.
