  1. I talked with the architects at one of the open houses a month ago. They said that the building would be locked up at night. But otherwise would still be open to the public. It is mostly to make easier on hosting events there. So they can lock it up and make sure the stuff they have set up doesn't walk off before or after.
  2. The Legacy connector is great, need more trail offshoots like this.
  3. Didn't realize that the Verdae connector would so extensive .
  4. Took a ride on the green line extension. It's great. Well worth the wait.
  5. Don't know if this has been posted yet, but this section of the trail in falls parks back open. The trail connection to County Square looks nice.
  6. Love it, I've been saying for a while we need more small markets like these within walking distance of housing.
  7. Advanced Material science probably involves a lot of pricey machinery on the inside.
  8. How is the thing that is going to take longer paving the path! 2 months! What has the county been doing? The city has built literal bridges faster.
  9. Makes sense I wondered what they were going to do about the temporary loss of parking for county square.
  10. Good to see people not just throwing up their hands when the the inevitable roadblocks or delays happen.
  11. Barley's has been going downhill for a bit unfortunately from what I can glean from one of my friends in the restaurant industry the owners were not fun to work with and there was constant drama. I think Todaro's fills the niche of cheap decent pizza, but it's on the other side of downtown. Bertolo's is alright and only a little bit more expensive and it's a two minute walk from Barley's. I do agree, downtown needs to keep the plethora of different cost restaurants.
  12. Strangely enough this is great for me, my sister lives in New Haven, Connecticut. So score one for my family at least.
  13. Some will age gracefully and some won't, luckily most of this stuff isn't being built at the exact same time, and it is all in areas that will remain desirable regardless (Outside of another sea change in how desirable cities themselves are). Cheap housing doesn't immediately mean crime infested, there are other overlapping effects that need to line up to cause something like that. If a building becomes old and undesirable but is in a place that is desirable, it can always be torn down and rebuilt into something better. I'd prefer we as a society build more things to last but in this case I'm not super worried about this particular concern.
  14. Their old space was in Next Manufacturing, I was always thought it was weird that a retailer was in a space like that (door requires a code).
  15. Looking past any architectural critiques of the rest of the development, it's good to see in a development called 'Bridgeway' that the Bridge looks great! Love the clean white stone/concrete look. Good to see the Greenville area giving so much love and attention to well designed pedestrian bridges, instead of treating them as after thoughts. I imagine that it'll be a great advertisement for the development/whole area to see people walking and biking over the main arterial highway on your way in to Greenville proper.
  16. Sizing good, look not so good. But yeah, I'd rather have its density than not. I think in a decade or so it'll be surrounded by other large buildings and it won't stick out so much.
  17. I didn't realize that Columbia and Charleston had 3.8-4.5 times the land area of Greenville but only less than 2 times the population.
  18. This is a thought I had recently, that the constraint of not being able to expand its borders as much forced the city of Greenville to double down on its downtown. That we would have sprawled out (more). Does anyone else think if we run the history of the city of Greenville again without the constraint of the ring of mills (Not allowing themselves to be annexed) on its city borders it would not have been as successful?
  19. No this has been planned for a while.
