It's an out of date building that nobody goes to. It would get 50 times the number of visitors if it were part of Heritage Green. 

I completely understand all of that. Even if the war museum itself were to move (which, to your point, would be a great idea at Heritage Green), the actual building is historic and should be saved IMO. 

About the building: In 1919, fifteen World War 1 veterans from Greenville established Post 3 of the American Legion. This was the Post's first dedicated lodge. It was built 1933-1934 on municipal land using locally quarried granite.

You have a valid point.  If this were Charleston they would keep the building and  OVER it, but we don't go to that extreme here.

Any idea what it would take to move a building like that to Heritage Green?

I would estimate  around $100k.   All of the streets involved are very wide, no tree limbs would likely need to be trimmed. Few if any overhead power lines involved.

At a March 27 City Council meeting, Assistant City Manager Shannon Lavrin said city staff is beginning a search for a broker to help sell the roughly 2-acre property. 

“We’re anticipating an urbanized form on this property because of its location and its ability to have height,” Lavrin said.

Lavrin said she expects the city’s economic development department will select a broker for the property within the next two months.

Yeah we can never have too many 5 story buildings! 

Seriously though,  I do think this site would be good for redevelopment, as so with the municipal court building, but I do hope they will move it to save the building.

110 W. Stone Ave sold on 4/8/22 for $425k.  Parcel is .158 acres. Buyer owns the adjoining .327 acre parcel at 108 W. Stone Ave.  

There was a neighborhood meeting of sorts recently for E. Park Historic District. There is no immediate plans for these four properties, at minimum they said We Took The Woods (one of the four) would be open through the holidays and next spring. I wasn't at the meeting, but they did also mention the property across the street from the new townhomes but I do not recall what was reported. 

Although GMan430 mentioned the baby Bilo in a separate thread, feedback in that meeting was that nothing imminent was planned. 

All of this is second hand, will try to get more details.

Thats a broad set of options. I am sure at some point they will, but nothing until at least this time next year.

Oooooh, the TOP top.  Thanks!

New Union House residential area near N Main and Rutherford dispute -

Communal housing dispute appealed to Greenville zoning board

 

 

[vicupstate]

I'm honestly surprised that things like this and also boarding houses aren't becoming more common.  The cost of housing these days is ridiculous and I don't just mean in Greenville.  I'm so glad I lived in a generation when housing was not half your paycheck right out of school.

There is an open house tomorrow and Sunday from 2-4 at the Scandinavian townhouse project on Stone, if anyone wants a closer look.

World Piece Pizza closing Oct 28

Hate to see them leave their deep-dish meats pizza is a favorite. Eating out has gotten so pricey it's hard to do as often as I would like, plus their are SO many choices these days. 

[gman430]

Two Chefs to close also. Thanks Joe. 

[NewlyUpstate]

Not surprised to see either of these close. Competition is too high here for these sort of efforts.  I always heard World Piece was well liked, but honestly never saw almost anyone inside eating there for it being such a large restaurant.

Survival of the fittest.   Too many options now.  I.E. Barley's.

You misspelled Jerome. 

 

Edit: The owner's wife died a couple months back and she ran that location. That was the primary reason.

This went under my radar until the DOT signs about the meeting went up.
