I was just checking out WYFF-4's web site to watch the clip about the Andre Bauer plane crash and I have to ask (not to lose sight of the Lt. Governor's misfortune)... WHAT IS UP WITH "ACTION NEWS 4" and the new "4" in the WYFF Logo???? :sick:

RT, just a website glitch. That is/was a logo from their sister station in Pittsburgh.

If Greenville is leaning into this "From Here You Can Change The World" campaign, I think we should be leaning into the people that are from here because some are truly life changing such as: *Ch

Thanks for the heads up. The city is on it. No doubt some drunk idiot. Hopefully the cameras catch who did it. If you or anybody else on the forum ever sees an issue like this, contact Greenville Care

I don't often cheer a lot of things from County government. I do applaud their vision and willingness to redevelop County Square (granted, it had its hiccups and could have been handled better). Howev

Hi guys. I love reading about all the upscale restaurants in the Upstate, and will enjoy many when I go to visit next month, but I have a dumb question. Are there any working class bars where you can have a couple beers and maybe listen to some local southern rock? (no country line dancing or anything like that though!) ;)

Most of the bars are tied to restaurants around here, but there are a few that you could probably feel comfortable at. I'm not a barfly, myself, so I can't name the good ones. But...they're around.

Oh, thank GOODNESS! That thing was hideous...WTAE can keep it. :wacko:

Cool! Thanks. If anyone knows of a particular bar, please chime in. I'm more a music fan than barfly, and I'll go out of my way to see a good local band.

Even though Michelin is a French company, Edouard Michelin (who just passed away) went to high school in Greenville. Never realized the Michelins had such personal ties with Greenville, beyond the business of the North American headquarters. I've heard really great things about Edouard, people loved him....thats the best legacy one can leave.

To my knowledge, they are all being annexed. Also, I noticed today that there is a sign up now for a new regional shopping center at the intersection of I-85 and Pelham Road. It is not on the corner of Michelin, Fox Carolina, or Waffle House, but on the one that is undeveloped. You can see it when you are getting on the ramp to get on Pelham Road heading northbound on I-85.

G-man, that info about the sign was posted on UP months ago. Hopefully something nice will be the result. Maybe a decent location for BPS? Anyway, someone (probably btoy) posted a site plan layout as well. At that time, we were thinking that Costco might be one of the major anchors, but obviously we know that will not be the case now.

Gah, Just read posts in another forum and it made me throw-up in my mouth.

Anyway, just wanted to say that I LOVE this city and our downtown is AMAZING! :wub: Can't wait to see our towers coming to fruition before the end of the year with more being announced hopefully. :)

Only the Carolina First parcel is being annexed. The others are already in the city and are changing there zoning classification.

I saw signs today for th Planning Commission in front of the DT library and also across the street. It must have something to do with the landscaping and fountain next to BB&T. Speaking of which, there were some new trees planted in front of Heritage Green, between College and the parking lane.

No ... just conjecture. Costco is going where I thought Bass Pro Shops would be, so I figure Bass Pro Shop will go where I had originally suspected Costco would go. That's all. :lol: It's a prime location right on I-85, between Greenville and Spartanburg.

Well since we lost the Cliffs Heritage project, I would be greatly disappointed with anything less than a Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World. What we don't need is another standard big-box shopping center that will eventually turn into a vacant eyesore. With a BPS, the surrounding growth would most likely move in a more sustainable direction.

For those of you who listen to Radio Reader on NPR weekday mornings, a new book will begin this week. It is by Greenville native Tommy Hays, and the story is partially set in Greenville.

Looks like this is getting great reviews on Amazon. Will add it to my reading list, thanks.
