AIMCO is (or was) the largest Residential Apartment Management company in the US. The division in Greenville used to be part of Insignia Financial Group from way back when. They have been downtown for a long time. I can confirm they are moving. On Monday they start at the new offices near St Francis Hospital off of 385/85

While I would be excited to get a Bass Pro Shops in Greenville (not that I would go there that often) I really hope it happens in Greer and not on the already overcrowded Woodruff Road. The reason is that if Greer got the BPS it would likely mean additional development so MAYBE Greer could finally get some more retail.

You'd think so, but I can tell you as a resident of the Pebble Creek area we don't seem to get many new stores along Wade Hampton. No Kohl's, no newer restaurants, etc. The best hope I think we have is the Cherrydale area. I know about the (one time) proposed shopping center along 29 but I haven't seen anything happen with it. Instead we have a closed Winn Dixie, next to an out of date KMart, which is across the street from a close Burger King, which is across the street from a closed Arby's. You get the picture I think ...

Cherrydale area as well for the same reasons you said. In addition, it would draw from the Taylors/Pebble Creek area too.

Not sure if this belongs in its own thread, or somewhere else, or something I missed but does anyone have news about Corner Pocket closing? My wife (who works downtown) emailed me about it today. I was able to only find this mention on Metromix

Brilliant!!!

If really going to be a farm team for the Hurricanes how about sticking with something weather related Greenville Storm Greenville Tornadoes (Yes those are horrible but c'mon Chiefs is not that great in my opinion and neither was Growwl)

I would prefer the Clock over a Table 301 restaurant - but then I'd also prefer a good ethnic (Mexican/Indian/etc) or BBQ restaurant over the Clock (and thus over a Table 301 restaurant). And I also can't tell you the last time I was in a Ruby Tuesday's (yes like most people I have been to one)

I hope they come to Taylors. I would love another independent restaurant in this area.

My wife (who works downtown) got a menu from The Green Room as they were handing them out. She tells me that most items on the menu are $10 and up (or a sandwich for about $8 with no sides). Somehow or other based on the other competition in that space, I can't imagine that they will do well.

Has it reallly been 9 years? Wow. I won't be attending the 10/17 show as I have other plans already. It's funny how times change too, these days I think most of the bands I go to play at the club level rather than the bigger places. Not to say that if certain tours/bands came through I would not go, but having already seen Kiss many times (including at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium and not the show where the guy fell and died) I felt the other plans took priority.

I saw Kiss a few years ago when they called it "Greenfield" at the end of the show - was great stuff. I would never see Matchbox 20 as I'd rather have a knife stuffed in my ears Point being, there are a lot of tastes out there. I DO NOT think the Bi Lo Center does a good job w/any variety in what they book. Heaven & Hell (Black Sabbath w/Dio on vocals) and Judas Priest were shows that have been out on tour the last year or so. They were not booked, I would believe they would be a large draw for the BiLo Center as any hard rock/metal band seems to do quite well there. Other than the protesters out front (or during ticket sales or whatever). I think what Greenville REALLY needs is a medium venue, something in between the Handlebar (clubs) and Bi Lo center to draw some different acts to stage. If only I had the money/know how/time

Wasn't the Bada Bing the strip club/mob HQ on The Sopranos???

So GSP is roughly $40 cheaper than Columbia. I don't think we compete with Columbia too much in terms of our traffic. It's more of the mindset of flying out of CLT or ATL which is mentioned in several comments on the site even for Columbia people (particularly Charlotte for them)

Were they wearing the masks to make a fashion statement? Because the masks don't serve any purpose in stopping the flu virus - it passes through them easily - unless they have a full blown respirator in them.

It's a shame we don't know timeline. I've had my fill of Charter after the issue I had this weekend with my DVR and the (lack of) support. My wife and I had been considering moving to AT&T + DirecTV but I had been hoping for UVerse after hearing about it online. Call me today AT&T for UVerse and I'll sign up

WYFF says it's false

I'm an IBMer as well and had not heard anything about this. In a company the size of IBM it's not unusual for folks not to know what all is going on (well speaking for myself). To be honest I couldn't tell you what probably 3/4s of the local IBM population does. And they probably can't tell you what I do either.

I don't know about in China, but now I do. Thanks a lot. Except for the peas you can keep those and give me some cornbread instead. Meat and three's of course are a staple in this area. My favorite meat and three, I'm sure due to proximity, is the Lil Rebel Restaurant. I know my wife goes to Gene's on a somewhat regular basis due to the fact she works downtown. So instead of finding Peking Duck point me to the other tasty meat and three places

Hope this is the right place for this Taylors Retail Center opposed This goes back to the discussion that was being held about the possibility of a Kohl's coming to the Taylors area. Looks like the County Council is going to oppose the zoning for it. I'm completely confused by this. They state that it's due to traffic is why they would oppose it (specifically traffic on 2 lane Saint Marks Road) - but I have to agree with the developer on this that MOST of the traffic would be from 29 which is 6 lanes already. So it's WIDER than Woodruff Road that is allowed to build just about anything it wants. Anyone care to enlighten me on this? Or is it that Woodruff Road is in the City Limits so the county does not interfere with it?

Yeah we enjoy it very much. I'm partial to the country fried steak with okra, mac & cheese, pintos. I'm also a huge fan of the grilled ham & cheese (add grilled onions) plate. My wife usually gets a burger. She says she likes the burgers at Five Guys better but Lil Rebel is much closer to us as we live in the Pebble Creek area. When you order a plate expect so much food that you won't be able to eat it all. They heap the fries on. The cole slaw is good as well.

How was it compared to Lil Rebel? My wife and I go to Lil Rebel quite a bit but never seem to make it down to Ware's

I think it's the Point. Across the street from Greenridge

I view it as the government doing the parent's job - hence the nanny state comment. I don't have the money to risk, and quite frankly it's not my area of "expertise". Asking that question of me is like asking someone else on here if they are fronting the money for any of the Greenville projects they want to see get done. I'm merely pointing out that there has always been a severe lack of things for teens in the Greenville area to do which leads to some of what you are seeing.
