I believe a Bank is being built at the corner. Looks like they are going to divert traffic left(where the back entrance to ACE is and just past the eye doctor there) to a new light at Brushy Creek and remove that portion of hudson road for more space for the bank? Bi-Lo is also constructing a truck access point off of brushy creek to the rear of the store now just past the current intersection so that says to me that there will no longer be an intersection there and all traffic will veer left to a new light. Thats just my interpretation of what I'm seeing could be wrong though.

Anybody Know what happened to Latitude restaurant near Falls Park, across from Pomegranate? Obviously they went out of business. That's a prime location. Guess I could have put this in the Restaurant thread. But maybe a new restaurant will go in it's place. I had never been to Latitude was the food/service good?

opps sorry about the misspelling. Looking for a Good local non national chain type. Yes I agree we are diverse in restaurant offerings. I would say Greenville does not have a big Asian/Chinese population though.

Anyone know of a good Chinese Restaurant, sit down style. And I'm not talking about your take-out and buffet type places. Not Lieu's Bistro, PF Chengs, Doc Chey's (horrible by the way). some real Chinese food a place that has peeking duck perhaps? I've been to Dragon Den seems to be the best so far but I've had better, it's more of a glorified take-out place. I'm beginning to think Greenville is not diverse enough yet to have real authentic Chinese. Can someone help me out?

Bus that runs on road and rail. Good use of the rail system, without the expense of full blown trains, stations, etc. I'd like to see something like this in Greenville. http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/05/half-bus-half-t.html

Frontier Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection. Although it says they are going to keep flying while they "restructure" so maybe they might be able to pull through. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,350089,00.html

Found this Article. Its more for larger city transit systems to speed up buses. But could help if they implement some of these things here now, to avoid issues in the future. But I like the idea of doing away with bus schedules and just having the buses on a frequent bases. and Then have them be tracked by GPS and in the bus shelter or at each stop have a screen with a nice looking map that tracks where buses are so you can tell when the bus will arrive at the stop. Not sure if the ridership numbers warrant a frequency running of the buses say like every 30mins or not though. http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/03/five-steps-for.html

Maybe Greenville needs a space needle with a rotating restaurant on top.

It used to be a fitness gym, I wouldn't say it was in poor condition but it wasn't going to win any awards, Just looked like a big room with rubber mats and fitness equipment. It was painted white on the outside. nothing that really stood out. The Munchies storefront and colors look much better.

I thought a Bakery for Dogs was originally going to be in that space where Munchies is. They must have realized there isn't too much demand for gourmet dog treats? or is the bakery for dogs going somewhere else?

Looks good... I wonder if they'll have a little trolley going from parking lot to parking lot and then to stations around the "Town" Kind of reminds me of a resort town or something. Kind of looks like alot of the developments they are building down in Florida in the Bonita Springs area. I wonder if that "Gourmet Grocery" is going to be Trader Joes?? Looks like alot of restaurants! Can't wait for a tennent list.

Alittle HDR perhaps? how many exposures? Did you alter Iso, shutter, and aperature for each exposure? or was it just photoshoped? Very cool.

Looks like Autoweek thinks VW is going to build in NC. but its not confirmed yet. we should here within 6 months according to the article. Autoweek Article

I would think with car manufactures using platform sharing etc, between their mainstream and luxury divisions, the plant would be able to manufacture both Audi branded and Volkswagon branded vehicles. except for the new Volkswagon minivan which is going to be a rebadged Chyrsler town and country(with VW specific sheet metal and interior) built by Chrysler at their plants for VW.

Does Clemson allow their freshman to have vehicles? I know some schools don't allow them. I'm guessing not all the students have vehicles so that probably contributes to the success of the system also. where as the majority of greenville the population has vehicles.
