Parking deck safety overall plan.

If I understood correctly, today at Council it was mentioned that two full time staff members will be hired in the next 30 days to address to reality of homelessness, in addition to improvements to our parking garages as well as a homeless action plan. Finally, an federal opioid grant has been obtained to tackle the issue from that perspective. Link to video: https://www.facebook.com/spartanburg.sc/videos/831927945231670/ Time: 1 hr 3min mark-.

Did you by any chance start using a VPN at that time? That could do it.

City council voted unanimously in approval. They are valuing it at $500K. Interesting data point.

So no e-sports arena, it seems? Would have been great for tourism!

I'm hearing car wash in the rumblings of social media.

Site plan for new coffee shop on 202 Cedar Springs Road has been approved. No name on the site plan. I'm hearing Starbucks. Anyone in the know?

Cocobowlz location and estimated opening date.

Star Lane site up for sale.

P&C is really stepping up their game with coverage of Spartanburg! Lot's of great articles coming out from their end. AND they were the first to publish about the baseball field. Kudos to them! DRB in July should be action packed!

I say Spartanduckers -- combine all legacies in the most confusing of manners. Kidding aside, a creative friend of mine brainstormed a bunch of possibilities on his social media account.

And now if we could get further confirmation that the e-sports arena is happening after all right next door...!

There is an option to add a residential unit on top of the garages, which could be used to rent out through AirBnB. An interesting investment opportunity.

Unfortunately not. A very important question I forgot to ask when given the chance. I'll see what I can find though.

I heard that Culver may be coming to Boiling Springs or Spartanburg. Anyone know for sure one way or the other (or neither)?

Heard that the designs for the West Main Street corridor beautification project should be in my the end of summer. So the stadium, with this, plus what is in store for Highland... truly amazingly exciting stuff!

Ah, let me clarify - they are looking at two options for their one store! But, yes, awesome that they are not that far out.

• 174 multi-family units with pool area and other amenities. • 3,800 SQF of retail space. The remaining 11,500 SQF of the building being used for retail will also be used by the apartments for "amenities and apartment office space.

Thanks!

Cocobowlz is looking at two possible locations, both downtown. Their hope is to launch within two weeks of signing their lease. All the more power to them!

Such a great informational post! Thanks, SBR. Also, saw that Holliday Brewing in Inman requested their alcohol permit. Anyone know how close they are to opening?

What I liked is that while they were open to people 'voting' their favorite, they were more looking to see what we liked from each concept, what our concerns also were for each one, all to them merge them into something that contains the best from each. The QR code that has been up in Morgan Square will now direct people to the three different options, so that we may leave our comments for each one. There was even talk of having a little coffee shop in the Square, which I am in favor off. Regarding ADA compliance, that is one of their priorities, as they want to make sure there are no 'obstacles' provided by the design, whereas now some areas can be blocked off or be unaccessible due to steps, walls, and the like. Both Dunbar and Main will be 'mostly' closed off, in that it won't allow for thru traffic, but can be opened up in case emergency providers need to get to the front of the buildings.

Such a great informational post! Thanks, SBR.

Someone with also a last name of Smith spoke of a tentative mid June opening date, and a keeping of the same name. Not sure how accurate it is as I could not verify what his relation to the venture was. Yet time wise that doesn't seem unrealistic. EDIT: source says he is a brother to the owner.

Apparently, there will be a push to have more live entertainment on the second floor once again, like Wild Wing's early days. I've heard the name could end up being different, yet owners would be the same.
