Any idea where the Greyhounds and the Seminoles play their games? What teams / cities do they play?
Last year the Greyhounds played at home at the old Travellers Rest High School field. I read on their websight that they are looking for another home field for this season. Beware if you loolook at their website (greenvillegreyhounds.com), because it is a real mess.

Anybody have any info on the Greenville Blues Festival? Looks like it will be in September at Bi-Lo Center. My question, is this a one night concert with a few artist and Bi-Lo decided to name it "Blues Festival" or is this a legit, weekend long event with multiple groups performing?
I believe it is just the one night. Not much of a line-up, in my opinion.

Last Friday, I tried the Vietnamese restaurant on N. Pleasantburg, "Saigon." It was very, very good. The place is really clean and nicely decorated. Quite small, maybe ten tables? I had a bowl of Pho, but they have an extensive menu, lots of pictures for the unfamiliar. Not sure about the cross street, but it is right across the street from Taco Casa.

Great to see SC loosen laws on alcohol and allow high gravity beers. A good article from the GV News on the new beers that we can now enjoy (like the rest of the US).

Finally, we can enjoy the fine Belgian beers here. I have been having them shipped in from a place called "Liquid Solutions" in Portland, OR. The shipping...OY!

I don't know where it is appropriate to place this. Some months ago, the smoking ban was a hot topic. Just before I left Seattle a year ago, Washington State passed a state-wide ban. Here is an article about the results:

When I fly for work, I fly out of GSP. But when I go to Seattle to visit family, I drive to Atlanta. Why? 50% to 100% cheaper, no contest. As much as I'd like to be a booster for my new home town, I can't afford that price difference. Sorry if you conclude that I don't "do my part," but it's all I can afford.
Gvillenative, I don't understand why you put "save money" in quotes on your message. The savings are real, and for me, necessary if I want to see my grandkids more than once a year.

Has France ever won a war?
I suppose one might consider Monsieur Bonaparte to have lead France to a victory or two...

Kim's Hot Wings (Chinese Restaurant) Review
I have passed this place off of Augusta Road a thousand times and have always been put off by its appearance. After reading a review from the folks at 33 Liberty, my wife and I decided to give it a try and we now have a new favorite Chinese restaurant. I could not agree more with the review posted so instead of duplicating it, here is the link:

Enjoy!
I live only a few blocks from Kim's, and stop in at least once a week for take-out. The food really is well made and fresh. Quite a surprise for such a tiny place.

Very nice, puskunk. Many levels there.

It seems to me that would make it a local matter. Shouldn't local governments have the authority to impose laws upon themselves? I'm not sure why the state would be in a better position to pass this law than a local authority.
When a municipality passes an ordinance like this, it causes some grief for those business located on the edges of the boundary. You may have noticed that some GVL County business immediately started advertising, "Smokers Welcome." I won't enter into the should/shouldn't debate, but if such a ban is going to work well, it needs to be on the state level, and be done with it.

Man, that's a drag...

What is "pinned?"
-
that would be rad if Heaven and Hell did come....heard one of the new songs yesterday and it was pretty good, definitely better than the two they did with Ozzy for the Reunion album. and Vinny Appice is playing drums, which makes sense, he did play drums for most of the Dio years anyway.
As far as the Family values tour goes, i thought that was an outdoor event or have they changed it in recent years? And Lamb of God said they have not committed to any summer tours.
Heh-heh...Charlie sais "rad"...

Hey There,
I'm living in Greenville and loving it. Quite different from my home town of Seattle, particularly weather-wise. Thank you all for being so welcoming.

I hope this is an appropriate place for me to pose this question; I wasn't certain. I have a question about liquor rules in Greenville (or maybe all of SC?).
I moved here a few months ago from Seattle. I owned a restaurant/bar there, so I was intimate with the regulations. But here, I seem to keep butting up against contradictions. A couple of months ago, I walked to the checkout counter of my local Bloom on Sunday with a bottle of Pinot Noir. Man, you would've thought I was trying to purchase crack cocaine, for the reaction I got.
Another time, the day I arrived here I was staying at the Hyatt downtown, and the bar had only mini-bottles, like they serve on airlines. They said a law had recently been repealed that allowed individual drinks to be mixed only from the mini-bottles, and that they were using up inventory.
Even my colleagues can't agree what the rules are, and the state regulations site is out of date (still refers to the mini-bottles). So, if any of you fine citizens of my new home can fill me in, in plain English, what the rules are, I would be in your debt. It might save me more embarrassing moments...

CNN Money released its list of "100 Best Small Cities in 2008" today. There was not a single South Carolina community on the list...tsk tsk.
