  1. Patrick and I are both Macheads. We'd be happy to convince you to make the switch. ^_^

    Anyway, Apple will soon have a retail presence in the Upstate.

    I will probably be updating our small office network (SBS, plus 5 additional computers) sometime late this year/early next year. The prospect of switching to Apple intrigues me, as it may be more cost effective than the MS equivalent. I think that the hardest thing to give up would be Outlook. I could do it no problem, but it would be everyone else that matters.

  2. I wonder what the time frame for the store would be. I read that Apple has submitted plans for their store in Charleston recently as well.

    The prospect of switching to Vista doesn't thrill me, and I have been investigating the Macs recently. Maybe I could be swayed.

  3. Several of the photos on here lately have been really large files. It would be nice if you guys would run some jpg compression on your photos. No real need for a 1024x768 photo to be over 200KB and still look very good on the screen. I am not running a T1 over here.

    Thanks!

  4. I can see the litterbugs leaving their trash everywhere too, instead of taking a couple of steps to a trashcan. Actually it may require more trashcans and personnel to empty them. The added cost for maintaining them would not be offset by the permit revenue.

  5. This property is currently R12. It is easier to develop in R12 (more density). Rex Galloway wants to rezone the property so he can put horses on it.

    There is no guarantee that it will be rezoned to a lesser density. It really depends on what is happening in that vicinty. In this case, I think that planning should to keep it the same, because there is development in the area. It is a good piece of property for a quality residential development (which is what I would do, if it were mine).

    Surprisingly enough, when an area like this is residential in nature, some neighbors will fight against horses. The reason being is that R-15 allows for 2 horses per acre. In this case, that could be up to 36 horses. Not saying that this will be the case, but the zoning allows for it, and the county has to plan for current and future uses as well.

    All that being said, it really could go either way in this case. This property is just on the edge and I don't think most of the neighbors in that triangle would have a problem with the rezoning.

  6. Thanks.

    Another question, why would the wife of the Avado brands guy be buying so much land in this area? Are they from this area?

    From what limited information was available on Anderson County's website, the only deeds that I saw were quitclaim deeds transferring a small interest in the property from Bannister Anderson to Alice Andreottola and from Bannister Anderson to Robert Andeottola.

  7. It's listed as being purchased by Alice Andreotolla, in Williamston. The fact that it is listed as a single owner and not some sort of entity makes me think that it might not be related, but you never know.

    Alice Andreottola, wife of Robert Andreottola, of Avado Brands.

    The property is between Hwy 81 and Midway Rd, which is a hot area for development. Quite a bit of water on the property.

  8. I checked the Drive's website last night to check this weeks schedule. Lawd, that took FOREVER to load. They seriously need to simplify.

    Same here. And I have a pretty speedy connection. I really feel for people who might want to access it by dialup connection.

    If a site doesn't fully load in 10 seconds, I usually move on to something else.

  9. Does Hughes own property on either side of this bridge? It could help their property values.

    Honestly, I think in the short term that it could help build growth between Main and Church, but in the long term, we will wish it was there for traffic flow. It already backs up enough as it is. It would only get worse.
