Starbucks is not worth the price. My coffee comes from Leopard Forest.

They have the best coffee in town and the best deal. If you bring your own coffee cup I think it's only 50 cents.

It will be years, if ever, that Starbucks drops another store in the Greenville Market, corporate store at least. They are limiting new stores in US to 250 per year until further evaluation.

Next one for this area, is set for the downtown Mariott.

Looks like Coffee UG will be safe for a bit.

The Marriot Courtyard downtown will sell Starbuck's coffee but will not be a full fledged Starbuck's like the one at Riverplace.

That's funny! I drove by this building on Jenkins street on Saturday and thought it would make a great picture.

One of the City's newest apartment developments: Millennium Apartments, just off of Fair Forest Way and Ridge Road, adjacent to the Millennium Campus. Land is cleared and you can begin to see leveled plots ready for vertical construction... Their website doesn't have any real details on there, so does anyone know exactly how many units this will include? I'm curious as to how many people this will add to the area and to the City.

They clearly are not opening Spring 2008, but their website does say August 2008.

I think they will have 330+ units. This same group is building Garden District in Simpsonville. Check out their website at www.livegardendistrict.com.

Does anyone know anything about the construction (or lack of construction) on the corner of Grove and Augusta. At one time there was a sign indication a future site for Regions Bank. It looks like construction has completely stopped and the signs have been remove.

Is this to the right of Sassafrass? or behind Barley's?

[The Rumor Mill]

There was a solid rumor on here that VW/Audi would open a manufacturing plant (this is gaining stronger legs...more below) and then we all dreamed and wished that along with the factory, VW/Audi would move it's headquarters here. Well on the headquarters part, our dreams are dashed....VW/Audi is moving the US Headquarters to Virginia.

With that said, there are about 225 articles on VW when you Google the news.....several hint at more announcements soon to come from VW (ie: new product, North American manufacturing, etc) and several hint directly at South Carolina as the spot. The pieces of this puzzle seem to be falling into place pretty acurately and along the timeline planned.
