I think it was for parking lot events. At least that's the only event I've heard about occurring there for as long as I can remember. Oh yeah - and the monster truck show, featuring GRAVE DIGGER!!!!!!!!!! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!! SUNDAY!!!

The section of the trail by Roe Rd/TR Oriental/TR Post Office is still not paved. Will they just have the 5k on gravel tomorrow?

Saw some paving equipment next to the trail in TR this afternoon - maybe paving tonight?

I found this on the TR city website under the Tram-Trail Implementation - Phase II: Development of Paved "Tram-Trail" Timetable: Fundraising is ongoing, and on-the-ground work will be initiated once all funds are raised; completion by end of 2009 Seems every year that gets pushed back. I am still waiting on the TR downtown redevelopment that was to start some time ago too.

Dunkin' Donuts Like No Other Coming To Greenville http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24777797 After a search throughout the Southeast, the multimillion-dollar company decided to put its flagship shop on the corner of Coffee and Main streets. Dunkin' Donuts tells WYFF News 4 that the store-front shop will have two stories, leather seating and plasma TVs. The company is partnering on the project with the Boston Red Sox, parent organization of the Greenville Drive.

You have just asked the million dollar question... I don't think anyone knows, including the developer.

^^^ and VW

I noticed over the weekend that the new DD on Pleasantburg near Cherrydale is open. The TR DD is verrry close. I would think it should be open in the next week or 2.

There was a component of Project Apple that was going to build a $50? million dollar facility in TR, and employ 200-250? people. Did Dunkin Donuts build something (other than the refurbished Krystal) in TR? (I can't remember the exact numbers.)

Speaking of forgotten projects... anyone ever hear anything else about project 'Apple'?

The easiest thing to do is get a map, or print a google map. The trail will be what is currently labeled as the train track that goes from Greenville, through Furman University, and on to Travelers Rest. Drive around these areas north of Greenville and you will find several communities in the vicinity of the trail.

Is this replacing Overlook Cafe? If so - anyone know when Overlook is closing?

Greenville adding to walking trail City Council set to sign $1.3 million deal today http://www.greenvilleonline.com/apps/pbcs....D=2007708070350 The city intends to sign a construction contract ultimately worth $1.3 million today that would extend its Reedy River walking trail from Cleveland Park to Greenville Technical College.

Seems like the last I heard it was going to be announced in Aug/Sept.

Welcome Oconee!

I think there are pros/cons to removal of the bridge, but I just don't see it being a priority for Greenville at this time. I know it's out of the city limits - but if Greenville wants to promote a visit downtown/visit the mountains campaign for tourists - they have to do something about Poinset Hwy. In my opinion - this should be a larger concern than the bridge. Living in TR - I have to basically tell company to close their eyes from Cherrydale until we get to downtown - or they think Greenville is an armpit. I know the same is happening for visitors downtown who want to see the mountains. It's only a few miles of road - and until it looks a little better - it will be a hard sell to convince people it's worth the trip once you get past Cherrydale. I am not trying to offend anyone who may live in this area. I am only saying that if we are going to promote trips to the mountains via this route - we must make it nicer - or people just aren't going to 'GO'.

I think that when the trail is complete, and people are walking/biking down the road to get to the trail - more residents will approach the HOA about doing this.

Me too! Have you suggested this to the HOA?

Here's the article on today's event - http://greenvilleonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/...371/1004/NEWS01

Any reason title loan shops have to be so darn bright as well? That town you live in - The Burgeoning Cosmopolitan Foothills Metropolis of Greenville, South Carolina - is quite a mouthful RT...

I agree with the above posts - the good outweighs the bad. G-man post tons of useful info to the forum. When he is banned, things really slow down around here.
