    The following U.S. cities have a Hard Rock Cafe:

    Atlanta, Atlantic City, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Destin, Detroit, Foxwoods, Gatlinburg, Hollywood (CA), Hollywood (FL), Honolulu, Houston, Indianapolis, Key West, Kona, La Jolla, Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Louisville, Maui, Memphis, Miami, Minnesota, Myrtle Beach, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Niagara Falls, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Washington, DC.

    So it seems like Hard Rock Cafes are in big cities and/or tourist destinations (although I am surprised that Hollywood, FL and Foxwoods (CT) have one).  For Greenville to be a viable option, we are going to have to do something dramatic in the next 5-10 years (e.g., increase our population dramatically or become a huge tourist attraction).  :unsure:

    Foxwoods gets a big draw because of the Casino.

    Yep, except on the main st level shows two restaurants not just one.  And the one closest to Camperdown my be broken up into multiple retail spots.  That same unit is bigger than shown here, the cut out shown in it was for in case those buildings were not torn down yet, it was a temp. entrance but since they were torn down that wall is straight.

    Thanks Brad.

    Are any plans in the works for filling the second restaurant?

    A Hard Rock Cafe in Greenville would be sweet!

    So three supermarkets in downtown, huh?  I am not sure if we are ready for that, although smaller urban-style markets spaced properly could probably do okay - especially after these proposed residential structures are occupied.  :)

    One thing that I think would do really well downtown is a Whole Foods/EarthFare type store.  It would obviously be a smaller store than the usual layout, but with the influx of well-to-do, educated people moving to downtown, a store like that would definitely do well.

    I agree. I think a Fresh Market would do well. I'm a bit bummed out that they killed to Fresh Market on Woodruff Rd. It would have been 3 miles from my house. :angry:

    My wife & I pop up to Pelham occasionally to hit Earth Fare. :D

    Imagine Hard Rock Greenville! How cool is that B)

    I've been to a few. Chicago is my Favorite. Food is so-so, but when you get a Hard Rock in your city, you know you've made it! Seriously though, are we even close to a large enough market for Hard Rock to consider us?

    Speaking of Riverplace

    check out this site, part of Phase II

    www.terraceatriverplace.com

    I think there are some renderings in Falls Place's windows that better show where the restaurant will be.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Brandon,

    That's actually the same development company, and they use the same renderings as those on 55 riverplace web site.

    Although it does answer my question about the accuracy of the Phase 2 renderings. :thumbsup:

    Here is RiverLevel

    Here is Main St. Level, top spot is same as river level, you can see where it is open to below where the river level part is.  I had forgotten about the unit on the bottowm part of this same drawing but it just doesn't seem big enough for a national chain.

    Brad,

    Help me out here, I'm not sure if I'm looking at this correctly. :blink:

    The way I'm reading it, in your drawing, Camperdown is at the bottom of the page, Main is on the right, all that is highlighted in yellow is space reserved for the restaurant.

    Did I get it? :cry:

    I just had marketing materials for what was available for lease, nothing used for construction or anything like that.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    The renderings at 55 riverplace really aren't detailed enough to figure out where a restaurant would be. Maybe the building to the left of the fountain with awnings? :unsure:

    Are these renderings relatively accurate after phase 1, or are phases 2 & 3 just "filler" to show some context?

    Brad,

    I think its great that we will have a restaurant on the river.  Hope its a good chain restaurant, although isn't that an oxmoron? :whistling:  I guess there may be a few.  I'm impressed with Bonefish Grill. :thumbsup:

    I've seen the Riverplace renderings, is there a separate or detailed rendering of the restaurant somewhere?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    meant to say oxymoron, not a large working animal followed by an insult on one's mental agility. :blush:

    In the TBA section of todays Greenville Journal it is mentioned that a national chain restaurant has signed a lease to occupy the restuarant in the first riverplace building.  Which restaurant hasn't been announced but it is not KFC.

    If you haven't seen the plans for that spot, it is a two story restaurant, part level with main st. and part level with the Reedy River.

    I was just curious about what people thought:

    Should the city continue the feel of Main Street south to the WestEnd? or should they leave it the way it is with parallel parking and a center lane?

    I have mixed feelings. I would like to see the diagonal parking and two lanes continue infront of City Hall and down to Augusta St, but I also think that it sets the two areas apart and makes them two "districts" in downtown... I think that they should both have they own identity, but when the Main St feel stops, so do some people and they turn around...

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Isn't the West End already set up like that? I seem to remember diagonal parking in front of Rick Erwin's all the way to the ballpark. Not quite sure though. :huh:

    Plex Indoor Sports plans to build an $8 Million Dollar Facility in Greenville, similar to the one they have in Columbia.

    Source:  WYFF-4:  http://www.thecarolinachannel.com/news/4622761/detail.html

    Video:  http://mfile.akamai.com/12936/wmv/vod.ibsy...622967.200k.asx

    The idea is not to compete with any of the GCRD Parks or other facilities (such as the proposed Kroc Center), but to fill voids.

    If the first PLEX in Greenville is a success, the owner plans to build a second.

    Should be interesting!

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    RT, any idea where they are planning to build it? Looks pretty cool! B)

    exactly. Margaritaville is much better, but these aren't shabby. Its the same company as Outback, so you get good quality but at cheaper prices than Outback :)

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Thanks RT & Spartan,

    Sorry to get O/T here, but speaking of Outback chains, I highly recommend the Bonefish Grill on Woodruff Rd. VERY fresh fish and good atmosphere. :thumbsup:

    I don't know about you folks, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing our skyline dominated by cranes for a couple of years :)

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I'm not sure I'm looking forward to that... but I am looking forward to what it represents. I guess I could live with it. :D
