Greenville Open Studios Feature Local Artists

Greenville Open Studios is on for this weekend and will give art lovers a chance to visit the studios where the artists are working and view their works. This year there are 106 artists in a 15 mile radius of downtown Greenville that will be open 10:00-6:00 on Saturday and 12:00-6:00 on Sunday. The event is put on by the Metropolitan Arts Council and is the second annual event. Last year, the 104 participating artists logged 34,300 visits and rang up $262,000 in sales. It was pretty popular and now is back for a second run. A cluster of artists are located in the West End area on Pendleton St, which is an upcoming area for Greenville South Carolina real estate. Home for sale Greenville South Carolina in this area can still be had for under $100,000.

Wal-Mart on Pelham opens

The new, highly contested Wal-Mart on Pelham Road opened yesterday and the parking lot looked pretty packed around noon. This store is smaller than a standard Wal-Mart and was designed to be more upscale to match the demographics of the area. The Thornblade Golf Club community is right behind the new store and represents an affluent swatch of Greenville South Carolina real estate. Ironically, they were the group of homeowners responsible for the movement to block Wal-Mart from establishing themselves on the property. That attempt clearly failed after much legal wrangling. Yes, the traffic will increase and will probably be an issue in the future, but development moves on. Rumor has it that Thornblade will retaliate a bit and close the entrance into their subdivision at Meilland Dr. We'll see how that will affect the egress of residents who live in one of the nicest golf communities Greenville.

Make Your Greenville Home Safe

Simpsonville Man Invents Emergency Mailbox

Don't be surprised to see a handy new mailbox that comes with an emergency siren, and flashing strobe lights showing up in retirement communities around town and nationwide soon. Inventer Chet Brannon is hopeful his Home Emergency Lamp Post will catch on in a big way.

Powered with a control box inside, a remote button can be pushed when the resident needs help. The siren and lights will alert neighbors and help the EMS find the correct house.

Two Greer real estate developers have ordered the unique mailboxes, which will be featured in the Autumn Grove and Watkins Farm subdivisions.

For $500, you can equip your Greenville SC home with a safety mailbox.

The website to purchase the mailbox, http://www.homeemergencylamppost.com/, states that it's ideal for parents, grandparents, children, baby, pregnant women, singles, and family.
See the inventor's video below.

Congratulations are in order for a Greenville woman who has been a McDonald's employee for 25 years, working at the White Horse Rd restaurant.

Jan Borgman loves working at breakfast, she loves her customers and they love her...and she's going to China for the Olympics to meet her Chinese coworkers.

She'll be serving McDonald's food to the athletes in Beijing on August 4th, and says she can't wait. Hopefully what she serves will be salads and grilled chicken. It's hard to believe those wonderful athletic folks will be chowing down on double cheeseburgers and Big Macs.

She'll be proudly wearing her uniform and making friends there too, no doubt.

Says Ms Borgman, "I'm really looking forward to meeting people and anyone else who will be my friend. There are a lot of rewards for being good to people."

One more reason why living and owning a home in Greenville, SC is such a pleasure.

Greenville's Bid for Fed Ex Could Boost Economy

The Greenville-Spartanburg area may win in the contest between it and Guilford County, NC or Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Gaining the new hub from FedEx could mean 470 new jobs, and an investment in our area of $110 million.

Each of the areas will bid for the giant employer, offering incentives such as a reduction in taxes to be paid by the company and other considerations. FedEx then decides which town to choose.

In the past, this kind of bartering backfired on several towns, once with an incredible offer to bring Google to Hickory, NC. There were no requirements as to the type of business the incoming branch would be, and after giving them every kind of tax incentive and cash awards you could think of, Google ended up building a huge warehouse full of nothing but data storing computers and a handful of employees to maintain them.

Guilford County has offered FedEx incentives worth almost a million dollars, but will make it contingent on a minimum amount of jobs and money invested in order to receive the payment. Greenville will have to make its package more attractive.

Let's hope we can win the bid and bring in hundreds more great paying jobs to boost the economy, and perhaps sell a few extra hundred Greenville SC homes.
