Don’t believe the impatient one’s on this board. This project is not dead.

Augusta Village sold to Burroughs & Chapin. “Myrtle Beach legacy business Burroughs & Chapin buys Greenville shopping center.” https://www.postandcourier.com/myrtle-beach/news/myrtle-beach-legacy-business-burroughs-chapin-buys-greenville-shopping-center/article_95269392-32c0-11ed-9bc0-cf95b020f17d.html?utm_campaign=blox&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social

I am glad that remake died. The last major renovation was completed in 2012, and it looks absolutely beautiful.

Nice view!

One of my friends tried to get a room for one night as a celebration of he and his wife’s anniversary. The hotel is sold out for the first 30 days. This hotel is going to be our version of the Grove Park Inn., but newer and better.

Birrieria 101 opens today on Wade Hampton Blvd, in the strip center across from the Wade Hampton Fire Dept. They are moving from a walk up only location in Berea. Awesome food. Follow them on Facebook

Out of curiosity I checked room rates for the middle of December. The average per night rate is about $460.00. Hotel rates everywhere are crazy.

My wife and I drove around the West Greenville area Friday afternoon. It is unreal what is happening. New apartments, new homes and new retail is going up everywhere. Our first home was in Sans Souci in 1981. Those little houses are now going for over $250,000. It is hard to believe how fast the entire Greenville area is changing. I do feel bad for the poor. I want to say they are moving to the Berea area, but new homes are going up there too. The only area in Greenville County that seems to be not affected by the dramatic changes is from White Horse/Hwy 253 to White Horse/Augusta Rd. It will be interesting to see where we are in 20 years.

I have never seen a hotel website list a city under the future openings if it was not planned to happen soon. Maybe the rest of the project is delayed or dead, but the hotel portion looks to be live.

It is still on the hotel list for future openings.

I hope this gets done. "Steep, abandoned rail line marked for 31-mile trail connecting SC, NC." https://www.postandcourier.com/spartanburg/news/steep-abandoned-rail-line-marked-for-31-mile-trail-connecting-sc-nc/article_9a3cbae2-0c40-11ed-a167-0b5cdc75b47a.html
