Carolina First Center

[Greenville]

Is that supposed to be a tail or something else?

[g-man430]

^^^Eggs can have tails or that other thing? Since when?

[RestedTraveler]

Its' a deviled egg...get it?

[g-man430]

^^^It will make you too, if you eat it.

[RestedTraveler]

Anyways...that was an attempt to give you a visual for what BigTone had described the new hall looking like (a dissected egg). It's the best I could find - and I found it humorous, too.

^^^If Carolina First Center winds up looking like that, I think i'll have a heart attack.

[BigTone]

Sorry guys, But I think I was telling you wrong on the "egg like shape" of the conference center. As I looked at the plans more carefully today I think the building is gonna be part of the head quarters site. But on the plans it says Carolina First Center Coference Hall. But as I look at the sign for the headquarters it looks like it might belong there. If you look at the sign, it shows the same building i'm talking about in the middle.

I see what you mean:

No worries, BigTone. Easy mistake to make with multiple different projects with the CF name on them floating around town.

The renovation and expansion of the Palmetto (Carolina First Center) has kicked into high gear. Steel is going up for the additions.

Carolina First Center had a "topping out" ceremony, with the last piece of structural steel being lifted into place. Final completion of the remodel is expected by May 1st, 2008. Article below from the Greenville News:

Nice article. I particularly enjoyed the comments from the general manager regarding the need for a hotel or two adjacent to the Carolina First Center as well as connectivity to downtown (I take that to mean mass transit, e.g. light rail or at least bus rapid transit). It sounds like he is very forward-thinking and sees the potential of the Carolina First Center as well as its surrounding area.

That sounds great! Forward thinking something that the Pleasantburg Corridor could use.

Greenlink?

Carolina First Center is coming along nicely. Glass and stonework are complete at one of the entrances. Landscaping has started. Still a good bit of exterior finishing work to do.

[Greenville]

I hope they also improve the "connection" to Pleasantburg. Currently it isn't really visible or prominent from there, yet it deserves to be (especially now that it will be so much more attractive). I want people who drive by to know it's there.

Directional signing is up all around all the Carolina First Center for parking areas, exhibition halls, entrances, etc.

TD Convention Center:

[Greenville]

Glad to see that TD took over naming rights. Have they updated interstate signage yet?

Yes they have.

[Greenville]

Yes they have.

Excellent! Thanks.

[Birdbrain]

Quick! Try to come up with all the different names for that convention center. All of them. (No, I don't have the answer. I quit counting around a dozen...)

[motonenterprises]

I only know of 2 others. I like the TD colors and design.
