People love their hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and Greenville has tons of them. One of my favorite things to do as a REALTOR® is to try new great restaurants around the Upstate. So let’s talk about some more of Greenville’s awesome hole-in-the-wall restaurants. (If you missed my first post about Greenville’s restaurants, check that out here.) Without […]
Everything Upstate
Eclipse Mania is upon us
I first heard a few months ago about the solar eclipse that will be visible in Greenville on August 21. I thought, “Oh cool, that will be fun to see,” and I put a note about it on my calendar. Little did I know the hysteria that would be brought on our city by this […]
Woodruff Road is about to get busier
For years, the vacant field on the corner of Highway 14 and Woodruff Road (next to Graceland East Memorial Park/Cemetery) has been zoned residential, preventing commercial developers from adding to the Woodruff Road congestion. That’s about to change, says a recent report by WSPA. According to the report, “A developer who purchased the land wants to […]
Endless Grocery Options in Greenville
When I first moved to Greenville, there were basically three options if you wanted to get groceries: BI-LO, Publix, and Walmart. Each store has its pros and cons, so I found myself going to each of them at various times, depending on what I needed and where I was when I needed it. However, the […]
Greenville is growing. Is Spartanburg next?
When out-of-town travelers visit the Upstate, they often find themselves at the Upstate’s primary airport – GSP. Some airport codes don’t make a lot of sense (I’m looking at you, MCO), but that’s not the case with GSP, which stands for “Greenville-Spartanburg.” What’s more often the case is that the people who fly into GSP […]
Greenville’s population growth is insane.
The latest US census data revealed that Greenville is now the fourth fastest growing city in the US. Even for those of us (such as myself) who have been bullish on the Upstate for some time, this came as a shock. Since the data was released, I’ve been contemplating the implications and significance of this growth. Here are […]
Small Business Spotlight: PLG Auto Restoration
For the next several weeks, we’re going to highlight some local small businesses that are doing uniquely amazing things in the Upstate. Feel free to comment or email me with any local businesses you think are worthy of being in TGM’s “Small Business Spotlight.” This week’s spotlight is on a business that could change the way […]
The Future of Greenville Developments: Verdae
This post is Part Four in the series on The Future of Greenville Developments. I’ve been in Greenville since 2004, and since that time, probably no major area of Greenville, besides downtown itself, has undergone as dramatic a change as Verdae has. When people think of Verdae, they generally envision Legacy Park and the developments around […]
The Future of Greenville Developments: Camperdown
This post is Part Three in the series on The Future of Greenville Developments. As you walk down Main Street in Greenville, there’s a noticeable void (for lack of a better word) of restaurants, shops, and interesting sights between the Chamber of Commerce and Falls Park. What I mean is that there’s not a whole lot to see or […]
The Future of Greenville Developments: City Park
This post is Part Two in the series on The Future of Greenville Developments. Almost exactly a year ago, Greenville city council voted to move Public Works from it’s current location on the Swamp Rabbit Trail near Hudson Street. This move will cost a massive amount of money – last year’s estimate was $25.6 million – but […]
