GE Turbine Man

Be nice if they just went ahead with the demolition. What an eyesore. The walk on that side of the street is going to be quite congested. We walk down from the ballpark area to downtown all the time and when you add this construction to the courtyard, and the other one all the way up on north Main. Good signs!

Does anyone have any insight into the Lynn Area? I work for GE, and I am considering transferring to the Lynn office to be closer to family. Is Lynn a "bad" town? How hard would it be to commute from the city proper? I've read this thread for some insight, but not much was mentioned about Lynn.

Its mentioned in the letter that they give you with your season tickets. A new thing that they started doing this year was if you turned in your tickets ahead of time, you earned credit towards your next year's tickets. its like 4 bucks a seat. I think they do it to try and fill the seats that are often empty, because they resell those seats.

I thought we already had a thread, but I think it was all in this thread and the DPC thread. We definatly need to get some before pictures. this one is going to be HUGE!

I'd also like to see a breakdown like that of before and after the ballpark opened up. But I guess 2007 would contain that as well.

I like having the planned projects that fell through. Keeps a bit of realism to it all. Could always put a bolded "CANCELED" or "ON HOLD" tag before it. Maybe even with a date so we could have a timeline.

Not sure where to put this, but it appears that the restaraunt that was going into the Rocks and Ropes space may not be built after all. I have no details, but the sign has been taken down and the "Available" sign is back up. Did I miss something? anyone have the skinny on this? I was really looking forward to that one.

I'm not sure if Greenville could beat out seattle for the title of Coffee City USA. There is literally a starbucks on every corner in Seattle.

Thats exactly the place I was thinking since there is no built in Coffee shop in the Publix! Would likely get all the publix traffic, as well as the appartments and Staples...

I'm not really looking to open several, just one. and with the influx of Jittery Joes, we may just be passing our saturation point of coffee shops downtown. I thought McBee Station would be a good place for one after it takes off a little.

I hate to say it, but I think if they were going to do that, they would have wanted to buy the land before building McBee Station and jacking up the property value along McBee. If that area is going to continue to be developed, (and I think that it is) its going to be by someone else.

I tried to talk to them (Jittery Joes) about a franchise a few months ago. I guess I was too late.

I am pretty sure that it used to be a furniture store. Although I may be thinking of the Go Fish space.

I don't think its gone back yet, and its not on the Nov. agenda. Don't think we'll see this one again for a while.
