  1. Dude, in July of last year on this thread you said "...Cinergy has completely stalled and is no longer coming. I guess they couldn’t get construction costs down." So it's ok to stop beating that horse...it's been dead for a while.
  2. If only Greenville could be more like Spartanburg...
  3. If any of ya'll need to scratch that tower crane itch you can come over to Furman!
  4. He owns a tower crane rental company!

    The West End

    That's a lovely story about the history of that seldom used rail line. I don't think anyone suggested just "taking it away" like someone's home. But homes can come into disuse and disrepair and be sold and something better can take its place. I think most everyone in Greenville county would consider the transition of the mostly abandoned historic Swamp Rabbit rail line to its current use as an extremely popular greenway and economic development driver to be a net win for the area. There's a reason that line hasn't had overnight passenger service in over 60 years and is barely used for freight . All the hoping, wishing and good vibes aren't going to make that line viable again.
  6. C'mon gman, all you gotta do is get your heart right and REPAINT!

  9. I thought you had it figured out..."too much blue collar, not enough white collar" gman430, I hate to be the one to point it out but...you're a "collarist"
  10. This is what's known as "cherry picking".
  11. Perfect for blue collar workers!

    The Gateway Site

    Not moving forward? That's unpossible!
  13. I'm all about this improvement (especially the road surface)...but I'm curious I drive this bridge every day and I honestly can't picture ever seeing a pedestrian on the sidewalks...I guess it would be good for downtowners but seriously, nobody walks the Church Street Bridge uptop, unless I'm missing something....
  14. I kinda like the renaissance festival / theme park vibe...
  15. Oh, that's well underway. It's a new architectural style called "Contemporary Detroit"...

    The Gateway Site

    Plywood replacement....nothing more....move along....
  17. When I was a teen-ager I was attending a conservative Southern Baptist church in Florida and it was time to paint the sanctuary and as I remember it everyone had a different idea about what color to paint, so the old and wise pastor got tired of the arguing and told everyone to bring a gallon of the color they preferred. Anyway on Paint Day, the pastor poured all the gallons of donated paint in a 5 gallon bucket and the sanctuary was painted with a dull gray brown.....maybe there was a lesson there
  18. Seriously, his drone pics are epic! And dissing on the Gateway site is legit....but....someday....maybe.....? Honestly Gman430, do you really think something might get done at the Gateway site....I hate that fence
  19. Could we start a GoFundMe or a KickStarter to add 50 or 100 feet to the Honor Tower?
  20. Soooooooo....gman430, you've set yourself up as the expert, the hot shot, the absolute authority on all things GSP, but it looks like you've met your match.... maybe we shouldn't accept your outright repudiation of everything GSP while pumping AVL, CLT and ATL. Maybe you should take a deep breath, a really deep breath and recognize that a lot, nay...most of your invectives directed at GSP are just your petty desires to have "something blue" or "something alaska" and you don't really know how an airport works. Stick to drone pics, they're awesome....
