  1. I spoke to the branch manager at East side BofA and here's the scoop. The DT branch is being shut down because the owner of the property has "other plans" for it. Hope to see large-scale development. It's a HUGE lot. The DT Merrill Lynch office (owned by BofA) is being relocated to the E. BofA property and hence the building expansion to make room for Merrill.
  2. Live right down the street from this and well... THIS SUCKS. The indiscriminate destruction of green/forest land to build these developments is awful, to say the least. Plus, traffic will be a disaster on Zion Hill. I can deal with townhomes, I guess, but Apartments? Really? Ugh.
  3. Milltown Coffee Co. soft opens this Wednesday 11/7. This week it will be open Wednesday and Thursday from 7am to 2pm. Located in the newly renovated "W Square" shopping plaza. 2601 E. Main Street Suite 1 Spartanburg.
  4. So I've wondered about this for a while, and maybe someone here can provide some insight.... What the heck was the purpose of the pilons in the pond?
  5. Broadway Series would be absolutely awesome!!!!
  6. We're shooting for a July opening, but that's still pretty fluid. We'll have more firm dates soon.
  7. Great addition to Downtown. Cocobowlz is a great "healthy" (sort-of), alternative to Ice Cream. Glad to see them come to the Burg.
  8. Milltown Coffee Co. Coming soon to Webber Square (2601 E. Main Street, Ste 1). Gourmet, Locally Roasted Coffee. Gourmet Loose Leaf Teas, Awesome Drink Concoctions, Beer & Wine and Nosh! Indoor and private outdoor patio! Early Spring Opening is anticipated. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090852912469
  9. A narrow Church street would be fantastic!
  10. Been watching the transformation of the former God's Favor restaurant... and now we know.... Zen Ramen Sushi Burrito. They have an Anderson and Greenville Location. Checked out the menu. Looks good. Lot's of Ramen and Poke options including Burritos and Bowls. A Ramen Poke place on the East Side is A-OK in my book!
  11. Bed, Bath & BE-Gone. Sorry couldn't resist.
  12. Indeed.... We've grabbed a spot at W Square for a new coffee concept. But it won't be Hidden Bean (though it'll be a similar menu and same beans). The Shop will be called Milltown Coffee Co.
  13. It's Burgers & Bakery and The Hidden Bean 8881 Warren H Abernathy Hwy (where LeSpice West Side used to be). B&B open Wed - Sat 11am to 7pm and Sun 10:30am to 3pm THB open Wed - Sat 9am to 7pm and Sun 9am to 3pm Stop in say hi sometime!
  14. It's sad that buildings like this are let to be demolished. Selfish and a complete lack of vision.
  15. As a restaurant owner I can tell you that costs and staffing issues are killing all of us. We're still hanging on, but it's becoming so dang hard. There are days when you just want to throw in the towel and quit. For us (my wife and I) it's been such a labor of love, that we can't imagine just throwing in the towel, but one of these days there will be a straw that breaks that back. It's sad really and I feel for all of the restaurant owners out there.
  16. A new Gourmet coffee and tea bar is coming to Weber Square. It will be in STE 100 (far corner of the strip part of the center). There will be unique coffee creations, tea and some breakfast / lunch options. Renovations on the center have been slow to start, but there's been some movement. Hopefully soon the eye sore will be no more and a nice neighborhood shopping center will be in its place. I'll have more details that I can share soon.
  17. 100% correct. Not that I want even more residential development in my backyard, but I'd rather see that site turned into a pocket neighborhood, a shoping plaza, a community park.... anything but yet another storage facility.
  18. Personally I HATE HATE HATE this. That theater / space can be so many great things. To make it an eSports arena is a shame. eSports are better suited for an ugly warehouse. Not a historic theater in downtown.
  19. I've heard Circle K. Sadly. Regardless of brand, I think that putting a gas station/convenience store there is just a waste. That corner (in my opinion) could sustain a more meaningful development.
  20. Bowling Alley is being torn down and a gas station will replace it.
