    Not sure how accurate this is, but someone said ROSS is moving into that space and the Ross space was going to be something else. Can't remember for the life of me what they said was going there.
    I guess we'll know soon enough. 

    I've heard rumors of a Hobby Lobby but I cannot remember where I heard it.

    Sign now up on site of phase II at Falls and Webster Streets:

     

    Doesn't look like it's anything good, at least for now, according to the Voluntary Cleanup Contract:

    "D. Proposed Redevelopment: UCB plans to acquire the Property and develop it as surface parking for its new corporate headquarters office and a retail branch planned for construction on an adjacent property."

    ...so...they're going to turn the parking lot into...a parking lot that they own!

  5. Greenville area population statistics

    Based on the estimates released (compared to 2019 estimates): 

    Greenville County added 7,738 people (2020 estimate: 532,486) 
    Greenville-Anderson MSA added 13,782 people (2020 estimate: 921,594)
    Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson CSA added 17,493 (2020 estimate: 1,494,306)

    In case you notice slight discrepancies between the math with the 2019 estimates, the Census Bureau also updates previous estimates with the new data. So, for example, last year they had the Greenville County 2019 estimate as 523,542, this new data has the 2019 estimate as 524,748)

    Google Maps updated their satellite imagery for Spartanburg today.  It looks like it's from late-January / early-February 2021.  Previous imagery was from 2019.  Lots of new construction can be seen.  For a map nerd like me, this is exciting.  :D 

    Right on the money, Google Earth says January 28, 2021.

    This is interesting.  Under a new proposal,  MSAs not having a core city with at least 100,000 people would lose its MSA staus and become a micropolitan SA. By this standard, Greenville and Spartanburg would lose MSA staus. But the article is unclear and shows a map with 144 areas potentially affected and nither Gville or Sptbg are on there, though 2 in SC are; looks like Sumter/ Florence areas.

    I just looked it up because I was curious. When they say "city," they really mean "urban area." That's why Greenville and Spartanburg aren't on the list to lose the MSA status.

    "Each metropolitan statistical area must have at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more inhabitants."
