    about 6 yrs ago, there was a plan to build a road through there, but they found the soil couldn't handle the engineering (wetlands)

    Which plot?

    Time is a flat circle

    Maybe we can start a thread "907 Pendleton St" so we can rehash this argument about RDV, drive thrus, and road diets over and over again there.

    Take some of those tower funds and finish the trail extension.

    you sued the city over RDV? right? How'd the trial go?

    trader joes are 8-15k sq/ft. The problem is that mosaic spot doesn't have enough wealth density or traffic to sustain a TJs. Median hhold income is only like $61k (for reference, Lewis Plaza with the HT is $110k). And we've already got a TJs a few miles away. Again, I'd love a small grocer, but its a tough haul and developers shouldn't promise what they can't deliver.

    As much as I would love to get one there, a grocery store wouldn't work. A real store needs to be 35k sq/ft to compete, otherwise its going to be like a Caviar & Bananas / Reids type operation. Developers love to bait projects with promises of "neighborhood markets" even though they know they'll never materialize. Beach Company did this with Canvas https://upstatebusinessjournal.com/real-estate/developer-turn-bbt-tower-apartments/

    I've been attending planning meetings and charrettes in Greenville for over a decade and none of this makes sense to me. https://www.dom360.com/ From their website: "We help clients get more leads, increase service tickets and sell more cars. Period. And though we always lead with digital, we complement those tactics with traditional methods, including broadcast, OOH and POP merchandising."

    Sorry. Not persuaded. I'd like to attend a game one day, but whole endeavor still seems like a vanity project. I think the County has invested in enough private-public partnerships with Hughes, too.

    book about Greenville https://www.amazon.com/dp/0520384180

    yes, unclear, sorry. In general, without zoning regs, whats stopping a new liquor store, a pawn shop, a pay day lender, or a plasma center....

    The RDV designation is the only tool some neighborhoods have to stop bad retail from invading their neighborhood.
  16. transplant08
    Yes, local homeowners very much want a say in what can be bought and sold in their neighborhoods. If they are tired of businesses that cater to vice and extort the poor, they should be listened to. That isn't mob mentality. That is democracy.

    RDV may have failed to stop the Burger King, but it has kept a number of really lousy developments from infesting the neighborhoods. It's an imperfect tool, but it has done a lot of good.

    they carved up that neighborhood with Academy. Check out the "before" aerial shots https://citygis.greenvillesc.gov/Html5Viewer/index.html?viewer=historicalimageryviewer

    there was vocal opposition, but i wouldn't say it was the majority. Regardless, if someone tried to put a bar in that spot, there would be a fight.
  20. transplant08
    it sits across the street from a substance recovery halfway house. So I'm thinking alcohol wouldn't fly.

    1007 hampton ave is a former auto repair shop & yard. Johnston Design Group is planning a development there.
  22. transplant08
    technically it is the Green Ave neighborhood.

    Underpass at 253 has more clearance than I expected. Sidewalk to get to it will be tight on busy days. Hope they find a way to smooth out the route to/from the trail.
  24. transplant08
    Anyone know what is going on at southeast intersection of Swamp Rabbit Trail and 253? they are clearing trees for about 50 yards from the trail. Is this the county project to explore an underpass/tunnel?
  25. transplant08
    I don't know why they couldn't use the Greenville High practice fields, like they did a few years back.
