Not sure why they didn’t try to get financial help from the city, county, and federal government. Also not sure why they never at least tried to reopen like every other restaurant has done. These things tell me there’s more to the story than meets the eye. I’m willing to bet the pandemic was an excuse to close and not the main reason behind it. Sad.

NewlyUpstate 72 Report post Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Are none of you paying attention to the GVLJournal post? The post sounds very optimistic, in a way that makes it sound like they are retooling the space, not closing permanently. Maybe they are planning on moving to one of the new developments around town?

Nobody wants a drivethru there.... that land needs to be developed into mixed use higher density. Quote THE "SOUTH DOWNTOWN"/AUGUSTA ST. AREA IS PROMOTING MIXED USE AND CONSUMER FRIENDLY BUSINESSES SUCH AS BOUTIQUE SHOPPING AND SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS, RITA'S FITS THAT CATEGORY I've never laughed harder in my life. Crappy chain italian ice with a drivethru does not fit in with mixed use / boutique shopping.

So sounds like they are working on retooling the space. Eager to see what they do with it. Edited September 24, 2020 by NewlyUpstate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now you’re talking. And to think there are people out there who feel like a 15 story building on the county square site would be too tall.

clemsonfan 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2020 As you all have perhaps noticed, we're in the middle of a pandemic. We've been pretty lucky so far, but there's a good chance retail and restaurants will take a serious hit before all this is over, we could be looking at a downtown stuffed with vacancies. I think anything wanting to move in right now should be welcomed. Plus, this site is on the very periphery of downtown, not in the middle of Main St. I think this is way more desirable than the site sitting vacant for years, beggars can't be choosers.

It's a bit of a shame that a stretch of Ware Street was (presumably) abandoned at some point. It will be nice to have the 5 story building along Academy! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey_Blackdogg 72 Report post Posted November 5, 2020 Am I alone in worrying about the virgin tree canopy near DT? There aren't many swaths of old oaks, poplars and elms around anymore. I'm all for development, but there needs to be balance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There aren't many swaths of old oaks, poplars and elms around anymore. I'm all for development, but there needs to be balance. Is something in particular worrying you? Unity Park should be cause for celebration on the tree front. Additionally, having County Square redeveloped will absorb a lot of development potential and focus it on a currently impervious tract of land (and I imagine will actually be a net gain of trees on the site). Come to think of it, I would think most new development downtown is probably adding trees (i.e. Federal Courthouse with its grounds and plantings on an existing parking lot). The City (I believe, or maybe in coordination with Trees Upstate?) recently distributed a tree survey with questions regarding trees, preserving the existing canopy, etc to help inform policy decisions. I'm sure more can always be done, but I don't think the City is veering drastically off course at the moment. I would like to see more robust streetscaping conducted along such streets as Stone, and Academy. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
