  1. I could totally see Trader Joes going in where the old BiLo, where the dollar whatever store is now. Of course, I would want to see new construction to blend it into the current neighborhood, but thats another rant for another day.

    Trader Joe's footprint would be less than 25% of a BiLo. Here in Marietta GA, they chose new construction over several available locations (including a vacant Winn-Dixie). Don't know if that's the norm for them or not. I think that prior to more expansion, Trader Joe's desperately needs a southern distribution center. They seem to be constantly out of stock here in Georgia. It's a long way to Needam MA.

  2. For just a good old down and dirty burger, Tanners Big Orange is pretty great. Greasy but good. :)

    Tanner's Big Orange and a bag of fried peanuts. :) That brings back some memories. Used to go to the Tanners on Main when I was a kid. You'd get your Big Orange in a megaphone looking contraption. It's still good stuff today and they have great ice. I wonder if there's any OJ in it today. ;)

  3. Where's the best cheeseburger in Greenville?

    The last place my wife and I tried in Greenville was Red Robin. Okay burger, but I'm not a fan of "steak fries". Overall, we preferred Five Guys. But, I have to admit, the alcohol and burgers concept at Red Robin is kind of cool.

    We still favor the old school cheeseburger plate half and half (cheeseburger, slaw, half an order of fries, and half an order of onion rings) from The Clock on White Horse Road.

    I realize this does not fit with the haute cuisine posts in this thread :rolleyes:

  4. Scranton, PA is the Yankees AAA club, Norfolk, VA is the Orioles AAA club, Memphis is the St. Louis AAA club, Tacoma is the Seattle AAA club, Omaha is the Kansas City AAA club, Pawtucket, RI is the Boston AAA club, etc. Makes it easier for mid season call ups and injury replacements to have a guy within driving distance.

    Wow, I am surprised to see so many AAA clubs so close to their parent clubs. Thanks for the info. This is a great forum and y'all have made my wife and I homesick for Greenville. :thumbsup:

  5. If that happens, you would think that a city like Birmingham, AL could contend for an Atlanta AAA club.

    I think Birmingham is way too close to Atlanta to get the AAA club. I believe it would detract from attendance here in Atlanta. You see a lot of Alabama plates in the parking lot.

  6. My time is a bit limited these days, but the one great drawback to the Drive is their being a low Class A team. Given a choice, until college baseball season ends, if I'm just about watching quality baseball, I'd rather watch nationally ranked Clemson play than the Drive, as the players are virtually the same age; and I enjoy the collegiate level of competition better.

    Other than that: amenities, fan experience, distance, etc, the Drive is/are a nice entertainment option.

    I love Clemson. I love baseball. I think lower A is quality baseball. Try to think of it as collegiate level baseball with wood bats and BEER! :thumbsup:
