THE GUIDE
NEW YEAR, NEW SKILLS
Local spots to help you learn a new skill in 2020 CREATIVE WRITING
KRISTINA HERNANDEZ Contributor n photos PROVIDED
The new year always comes with resolutions, some harder to keep than others. When a goal involves learning to make macarons or creating a unique coffee mug out of clay or practicing the art of improv, resolutions are not too difficult to keep. Here are several places in the Upstate to learn a new skill in 2020.
From creative and descriptive writing to finishing (or starting) a novel, classes are offered by the Emrys Foundation, a non-profit in Greenville. Classes are at varying times and dates and cost between $35-$50.
Emrys Foundation 201 W Stone Ave. | Ste D | Greenville 864-202-4906
BAKING
POTTERY
LANGUAGE
Learn to create macarons, croissants, bread and pastries at Le Petit Croissant, an authentic French bakery in Greenville. They offer workshops that are typically two hours long and cost $65.
FLY FISHING
Learn the art of fly fishing from outdoor adventure shop Orvis in downtown Greenville. Take their Fly Fishing 101 class for free and up your game with Fly Fishing 102 for a small fee. There are plenty of Upstate rivers in which to practice, as well.
Le Petit Croissant
Orvis
640 S Main St. | Greenville 864-520-1555
101 N Main St. | Ste O | Greenville 864-240-4284
Learn how to make mugs, vases and any number of beautiful items out of clay. Start with an intro class ($50) at Hollowed Earth Pottery at Hampton Station to see if it’s something you enjoy. They also have multiweek classes if you find you love this kind of art.
GOLFING
Topgolf offers lessons year-round, so whether you’re looking to learn the basics of golf or perfect your game, the trendy spot has instructors ready to help. Classes start at $29/person and individual adult lessons start at $89/hour.

IMPROV
Learn to make people laugh out loud through improvisation classes at Alchemy Comedy. Classes are from 6:30-9pm once a week for a six-week class and cost between $150-$175. Improv classes are held at Next Manufacturing, not at the comedy club downtown.

Nancy Whitworth awarded Order of Palmetto, retiring Jan. 3 n story by EVAN PETER SMITH | photo PROVIDED
Nancy Whitworth is going out on top. After her retirement on Jan. 3, the longtime economic development director and deputy city manager with the city of Greenville will have a laundry list of accomplishments to look back on. Just before Christmas, Whitworth was awarded the Order of the Palmetto, the highest civilian honor for citizens of South Carolina. But Whitworth was never one for seeking the spotlight. Throughout her 40-year tenure, her quiet leadership and steady hand were paramount in establishing Greenville as a major cultural and economic hub in South Carolina. She implemented a downtown revitalization strategy that is now looked at as a model for other cities nationwide, while attracting more than $980 million in capital investment into the city.

Multiplying Good’s goal in South Carolina is to cultivate the next generation of our state’s servant leaders. With that goal in mind, the organization has selected the 2020 class of ChangeMakers in the Upstate — 10 individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to service and the potential to truly move the community forward. The 2020 Upstate ChangeMakers class will kick off in early February with an orientation and reception event for the honorees and guests. Throughout the spring, these ChangeMakers will work both individually and as a group to raise financial support for Students In Action, Multiplying Good’s flagship youth-leadership development program that uses service-learning as the vehicle for arming high schoolers with the life skills they need to be successful in college and the workforce. These 10 ChangeMakers will also participate in volunteer, community, recognition and other networking activities each month with the goal of raising awareness of Students In Action and inspiring even more community leaders to get involved in giving back.The program will culminate in late April with a celebration event, recognizing each of the 10 honorees with a Jefferson Award and celebrating all they have accomplished to make a difference in the Upstate.

FRESH Perspective Fountain Inn's new mayor brings a youthful energy to the job n story by ARIEL TURNER
T
I bring a fresh perspective and understanding of how we got to where we are as a city.” -GP McLeer Jr, mayor, Fountain Inn

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // JANUARY 3
he weekly event listing for Wednesday night at Growler Haus in Fountain Inn names “GP and the Gang” as the leaders of trivia night: “Trivia is a weekly staple at Growler Haus and once you’ve seen it, you’ll know why. GP and the Gang are Trivia Pros and will keep your team (with that awesome team name) guessing all night long.” Sounds like a good time, and it’s been going on for quite a while. What it doesn’t mention, that the regulars know, is that “GP” is George Patrick “GP” McLeer Jr., the newly elected mayor of Fountain Inn. The “gang” are his friends Chris Burkard and Rob Valerio who have co-hosted with him since the beginning. The format keeps the game moving quickly, and it’s general knowledge,

McLeer says, adding that there’s a reason he writes the questions and isn’t the one answering. “It’s our way to give back in a very small but fun way,” he says. And now in his new role, McLeer, 31, says he has even more motivation to keep trivia night going. “It’s a platform I might use to expose people to our decision makers,” he says. He plans to invite new city employees or councilmembers to co-host with him to give residents a chance to meet them in an informal way outside of official city gatherings and meetings. As Fountain Inn’s youngest mayor, McLeer is channeling his youthful energy and approach into his new position. “I bring a fresh perspective and understanding of how we got to where we are as a city,” he says.
A main focus as mayor of the secondfastest-growing city in the state will be controlling growth, he says. He views the new-construction neighborhoods popping up as a challenge to meet head on, looking at the potential stress on existing infrastructure and the risk of losing the rural feel that drew him to Fountain Inn in the first place. “I don’t want to grow out of our smalltown charm,” he says. “We can implement strategies that help maintain elements that help foster a sense of community.” Along with city council — four of the seven members were newly elected this cycle — he plans to review zoning laws and update them so that when development does occur, the community’s character is maintained. McLeer says he fell in love with Fountain Inn after college when looking for

a community that felt like home and bought his first house there. Now, married for just over a year to his wife Taylor, a Greenville County Schools teacher, he says they are committed to the city. “Fountain Inn is our home for as long as we can imagine,” he says. Originally from Anderson, McLeer’s immediate family — his parents and two siblings — also moved to Fountain Inn. “I want this community to be a great place for my parents to retire,” he says. With more experience than his age might suggest, McLeer is drawing on his past role with Mauldin, where he created the Office of Cultural Affairs, managed all of the city’s marketing and worked on numerous economic-development projects. Since July 1, 2016, he has served as the executive director of the South Carolina Arts Alliance, the only statewide arts advocacy organization, which is based in Fountain Inn, in addition to his involvement with various other arts-related organizations on the local and state level. He is aware, however, of his young age and that he is new on the job in the same way his newly elected council members are. “That many new faces is very exciting, but we have to get up to speed,” he says. “There’s value in having veterans and learning from them.” McLeer plans to take a collaborative approach to leadership with City Council and with the community, working toward more consistent communication of city initiatives and meetings and updated websites to keep everyone equally informed, “making sure every process
by which you interact with city hall is easy to understand.” McLeer says he will work closely with city administrator Shawn Bell, who is also on the young end of the age spectrum at 33 years old.
I don’t want to grow out of our small-town charm. We can implement strategies that help maintain elements that help foster a sense of community.” -GP McLeer Jr, mayor, Fountain Inn
“As an appointed, professional local government manager, my job is to work with the members of council no matter who wins our local elections,” Bell says. “With that being said, I am very excited to work with Mayor McLeer for at least the next four years. He and I share a passion for local government, and with us being similar in age, we seem to view the world through a similar lens. I won’t always agree with my elected officials, but my job is to provide them with accurate information, make recommendations and then carry out their decisions.”
Bell, who is leading much of the economic development in the city, and McLeer will work together on the variety of initiatives including expanding public transportation opportunities down to Fountain Inn. “The two of us have already met with U.S. Congressional staff regarding federal funding and we are meeting with Greenlink in early January,” Bell says. They will also be jointly involved in the Upstate’s regional economic development entities such as The Upstate Alliance, Greenville Area Development Corporation and Laurens County Development Corporation. Additionally, Bell and McLeer partnered with Greenville County Schools for their Fountain Inn High School Mascot and Colors Reveal event on Dec. 19. For McLeer, having a local high school is a priority if the goal is to keep people raised in Fountain Inn in the city as adults. “Going to school in your neighborhood makes it more likely you’ll come back,” he says. While helping the city grow responsibly, McLeer wants people like himself — who are passionate about his new hometown — to return to Fountain Inn to raise their families. “I’m a pretty old soul,” McLeer says, but says he has a good handle on the type of place people his age want to live in. “They want to live in a community,” he says. “People want to live in a place connected to our neighbors.”

democratic discourse and less political rhetoric.
As Greenville flies into the new year, several community leaders got to thinking about what resolutions to carry over. Below are their hopes, aspirations and goals for both themselves and their local community. For more "I Resolve" participants visit GreenvilleJournal.com.
RICK DANNER: Mayor, Greer RESOLUTION: My New Year’s resolution is to find more balance
in my reading. I read a lot of self-help and business-management books, but rarely escape into good novels anymore, so I look forward to doing more of that.
RESOLUTION SUGGESTION: I suggest that others commit to a New Year’s resolution that will somehow bring more balance into their fast-paced lives — whatever that means to the individual. For some, that will mean not bringing work home. For others that might mean taking yoga classes, hiking, soaking in a luxurious bath, having game night with the family, date night with your partner, acting in a local theater production or whatever … just find a way to slow … down.
DR. MATTEEL KNOWLES: VP, Student Services, Greenville Technical College
RESOLUTION: To continue our commitment, in partnership with the community, to ensure our students graduate college, career and citizen ready. RESOLUTION SUGGESTION: If you are in a position to do
so, mentor a student or find some way to show a child in our community that you care about his or her future. If you lead a company, join the Greenville chamber’s LaunchGVL initiative and help develop tomorrow’s workforce by hiring a GCS student in a paid internship today.
BURKE ROYSTER: Superintendent, Greenville County Schools
RESOLUTION: Faith: Be more active on our support for the mis-
sion field. Family: Read to my daughter at least three times per week and complete three devotionals with my wife. Friends: Host three house socials. Physical & Mental Fitness: Complete two 10ks and decrease my running pace from 11-minute miles to 10-minute miles.Read three news books on business and growth.
RESOLUTION: To help our friends at United Housing Connec-
RESOLUTION SUGGESTION: I suggest that you put no more than five things to accomplish and focus your resolutions in the four Fs: Faith, Family, Friends and Fitness. At the end of the day, those are very important to anyone. Those things are at the core of who you are.
RESOLUTION SUGGESTION: Jump on board with this housing project. The cost of doing nothing is too high.
RAMÓN NIEVES-LUGO: Principal and CEO, UniComm Media Group, UMG
RESOLUTION: I resolve to share that God is alive and well in the lives of people. He wants to provide for our everyday needs which includes the opportunity to be successful. He wants to see us prosper and in doing so share those blessings with our fellow citizens.doing so share those blessings with our fellow citizens. RESOLUTION SUGGESTION: Resolve to find common ground

RESOLUTION: My personal and professional resolution for 2020
is to foster opportunities that provide home, haven, health and hope for our Greenville neighbors in need.
RESOLUTION SUGGESTION: In 2020 let’s resolve to differentiate between adjectives and nouns. “Homeless,” “poor” and “impoverished” are merely descriptive. “Person,” “human being” and “family” carry the weight of agency, equity and worth.

RESOLUTION & SUGGESTION: Our city, county and state are experiencing significant growth in every direction. With that comes growing issues like traffic, crowding, planning and constant change from how things used to be. I’d love to see us all resolve to keep an open heart and mind as every day is a new day and new opportunity to be kind, loving and solution minded towards one another. We are all striving to make our home the best place for ourselves, our families and our community and we can only truly do just that if we are united in purpose and grace.
BRANDY AMIDON: Mayor, Travelers Rest
RESOLUTION: This year I plan to ride my bike to work more. RESOLUTION SUGGESTION: Challenge yourself to eat local
more. Get out of the car and try walking or biking to places more often. Call on our community leaders to make our streets safer for walking and biking. Reduce our use of disposables. Give up packaged foods for a week. This by default will mean healthier eating, as you’ll be forced to eat and prepare fresh foods from scratch.
As the winter season arrives, our Members continue to thrive indoors at a variety of holiday events, social gatherings and family visits, all while their safety and comfort are cared for.

tinued kindness to those outside our “tribe” is the greatest resolution of all. Oh, and get a gym membership!

RESOLUTION: In 2020 I’m pledging to myself to keep in better contact with members of my family and personal friends who live outside of South Carolina. Memories created with family and friends are essential to a happy life and I intend to keep those memories alive a bit longer by reconnecting to those who helped create them.

ELECTIONS
HOBART LEWIS
Meet the Republican candidates for Greenville County Sheriff
n story by EVAN PETER SMITH | photos PROVIDED
WHO I AM
I’m a former Greenville County deputy, former Greer police officer and currently the owner of Carolina Elite Services.
WHY I’M QUALIFIED TO BE SHERIFF The vote to decide who will become the Republican candidate for Greenville County’s next sheriff will be held on Jan. 7. Whoever wins the Republican primary will face off against unopposed Democratic candidate Paul Guy in the general election on March 10. Here’s a brief look at the Republican candidates — their backgrounds, their goals and their motivations for running — in their own words. Some responses have been abbreviated or reworded due to space limitations. In-depth profiles on each of the candidates can be found at GreenvilleJournal.com, where we’ll also be tracking the race results live on Jan. 7.
DARIUS HALL
I have worked the road answering calls and dealing directly with citizens. I have heard the concerns from citizens as well as deputies who are our first point of face-to-face contact. I resigned my position to run because I truly believe we can make things better and this community safer.
NO. 1 GOAL IF ELECTED
Developing a team concept and reallocating manpower to put more deputies in the outlying areas of the county.
I have a plan to give back to this community and lead the sheriff’s office into the future.”
WHO I AM
I’m a captain at the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, and I’ve been at the sheriff’s office since 1994.
WHY I’M QUALIFIED TO BE SHERIFF
I have the most experience across the board, everything from the narcotics unit, to the gang unit, to human trafficking, property crimes, overall federal and local investigation experience, as well as the tactical side from spending 14 years as a SWAT team member.
WHO I AM
NO. 1 GOAL IF ELECTED
Command and leadership. My path of training, education and unique experiences in both the military and law enforcement culminate in me having what I believe to be the very best and most well-rounded capacity to serve as sheriff.
More manpower is needed, but we also need better relationships with county council to fix that, as well as stronger relationships with the community.
I want to make Greenville County work collectively together, with the Sheriff’s Office and the community, to make it the safest place in South Carolina.” ROBERT WHATLEY WHO I AM
I’m a deputy with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, with 26 years of experience.
WHY I’M QUALIFIED TO BE SHERIFF
WHY I’M QUALIFIED TO BE SHERIFF
NO. 1 GOAL IF ELECTED
Restore the confidence in the sheriff’s office and its mission with both employees of the sheriff’s office as well as the citizens of Greenville County.
I felt a calling to offer my service and experience to the people of Greenville County.” A.T. “TOMMY” SMITH WHO I AM
I’m a fifth-generation Greenvillian, the former deputy director of the Secret Service and a former Greenville County sheriff’s deputy.
NO. 1 GOAL IF ELECTED
I have far more experience than others and twice as much as some of them. I’ve had experience on both sides of the road, so to speak. I’ve been a law enforcement officer on the local level and at the federal level in my deputy director role.
I’ve witnessed the office’s stature decline, and the men and women who are so dedicated to their jobs be underappreciated, who weren’t getting the proper resources, and I got tired of sitting on the sidelines.” GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // JANUARY 3
I’m a former Greenville County deputy with 23 years of experience in the military and 12 years of experience in law enforcement.
I’ve spent half my life wearing the uniform of a sheriff’s deputy. I know the people, I know the inner workings, I know the issues taking place. And I also have a vision plan on how to fix those. The shortage of manpower is a huge priority. But we’ve had issues of mismanagement, so I want to scour every position inside the sheriff’s office and make sure funds are being used as efficiently as possible.
12
SEAN ZUKOWKSY
WHY I’M QUALIFIED TO BE SHERIFF
NO. 1 GOAL IF ELECTED
Do a comprehensive review of the manpower allocation. Make sure there is no waste and that we have every deputy in a position that best services the citizens.
I love Greenville. I want to restore the sheriff’s office to the strength of what it once was.”

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // JANUARY 3
Joe Vaughn, the board chair of Greenville’s Project HOPE Foundation, recently won The NASCAR Foundation’s Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award and received $100,000 for HOPE. The award is presented to a NASCAR fan who has done volunteer work on behalf of children in his or her community. Vaughn has been supporting Project HOPE Foundation, a nonprofit organization offering a lifespan of autism services, since 2005. Vaughn has devoted a countless amount of time, energy and money to support HOPE’s mission, despite having no direct ties to autism. “We are so incredibly thankful for Joe’s loyalty to our organization,” Project HOPE Foundation co-founder and co-executive director Lisa Lane said. “We’ve known how special Joe is for a long time, and now everyone knows. We are thrilled to see him getting the recognition he deserves.”
Under Vaughn’s leadership, HOPE has grown to seven campuses across the Upstate and Greenwood. “Joe is always thinking outside the box about ways to broaden HOPE’s reach,” HOPE co-founder and co-executive director Susan Sachs said. “He gives selflessly and pours his heart and soul into everything he does. He’s a shining example of what it means to be a humanitarian.”
The only thing HOTTER than a clean drain is a man who keeps it that way.

HISTORIC PLACES
Davenport House Dominating an entire block of downtown Greer, the beautiful Davenport House is a significant piece of Greer's history n story by KIMBERLY COLLIER
Built in 1921, this outstanding example of Tudor Revival style architecture was originally commissioned for Clara Davenport, widow of the prominent Greer businessman Malcolm Davenport and daughter-in-law of D.D. Davenport, owner of the Greer Oil Mill Co. The expansive 6,000 square foot plan of the home was designed by Greenville architects James Douthit Beacham and Leon LeGrand. The design features a dominant cross gable, steeply pitched roof and half-timbering — all important features in the Tudor Revival style. The Tudor style motif is carried throughout the house interior as well, with features such as high-paneled wainscotting, carved stone and wood mantels, arched stone-faced fireplaces, extensive decorative plaster molding and decorative plaster banded ceilings. The three-bay coach house and pool house, of matching stucco and timber finish, stand at the side and rear of the main house. The landscaped property also features an encircling yellow brick and heavy timber fence, complete with elaborately detailed and slate roofed entrances to the garden. The home and gardens dominate an entire block of downtown Greer, with 2.5 acres of magnolias, water oaks and ornamental shrubbery. The home and property were listed in the National Register on Feb. 1, 1999. The Davenport House is a privately owned residence.

2020’S MOST HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RESTAURANTS
Greenville has been a restaurant boomtown for at least five years. Keeping up with all of the new concepts and second locations of established restaurants has been nearly impossible as they pop up downtown and beyond. But looking ahead to 2020, the velocity seems to have slowed, though there’s still plenty of “new” to anticipate. For example, the majority of this list has been announced previously and maybe has even made our most-anticipated rundown in the past two or three years. (Thank goodness The Commons finally opened in November so it didn’t land on the list a fourth consecutive year). So that means we’ve been waiting literally years for these to open, which will make it all the more satisfactory when they do. And by the way, there are plenty in the works not included on this list as restaurant owners finalize their plans, so stay tuned for more first-quarter announcements.
DOBRA TEA 1278 Pendleton St. | Greenville PROJECTED OPENING: January Dobra Tea, founded in 1993 in the Czech Republic as a collective of like-minded, tea-loving individuals, is nearing the opening of its first South Carolina location, with Joe Passalaqua as operator. In addition to teas from around the globe presented to guests in an 85-page tea journal, the Asian-fusion menu also includes lunch and dinner items, many of which are plant-based or gluten free.

PAPI’S KITCHEN 120 S. Main St. | Simpsonville PROJECTED OPENING: Spring photo PROVIDED
After two years of hunting for a location, Jorge “Papi” Barrales of Papi’s Tacos is ready to introduce his authentic Mexican cuisine to downtown Simpsonville. He and son Jorge Barrales Jr. have recently taken ownership of Papi’s from Table 301 restaurant group as has always been the plan. Going beyond the tacos and tortas at the original location under The Lazy Goat, the new restaurant will allow Papi to serve a full menu of specialty items along with a full bar.
THE COOK’S STATION Corner of Butler Ave. & Buncombe St. | Greenville PROJECTED OPENING: April Chef Teryi Youngblood Musolf, former South Carolina Chef Ambassador and founding chef of Passerelle Bistro, has been named the culinary director for the new combined location of a longtime Greenville retail establishment. The new restaurant inside the 11,000-square-foot building will serve fresh, interesting grab ‘n’ go items using as many local ingredients as possible. Expect breakfast staples like hot cereal, the breakfast sandwich, omelettes along with some on-thego items like brekkie slice (it’s Aussie and delish), individual breakfast casseroles, stuffed breads, raw breakfast bars and all the pastries. For lunch, look for deli favorites and featured sandwiches, hot and cold plates of composed meals, and seasonal soups. All of this will be within easy walking distance of Heritage Green.

Chef Samuel Dominguez, formerly executive chef of Hall’s Chophouse, Breakwater and Rick Erwin’s Nantucket, is keepphoto PROVIDED ing this new project vague on details, but he is channeling his passion for cooking into his own restaurant now. He is keeping the address under wraps as well, but says the space will be under construction through January with the goal of providing a unique dining experience for all Upstate foodies.
From the creative minds behind Willy Taco comes a hot-chicken joint that will give Fireforge Crafted Beer customers an additional onsite food option. The former auto shop in front of the brewery will take on a clean, vintage feel with a heavy emphasis on comfort food from former South Carolina Chef Ambassador William Cribb. Chicken fried, grilled, shredded and loaded with flavor will be accompanied by Southern sides like loaded goat cheese grits and pimento cheese mac and cheese. For brunch, hot chicken and donuts made the working menu. Along with other cocktails, a Cheerwine slushie with “bourbon, lime and good times” is also listed on the sneak peek we got.
Owners Don and Nick Lincoln launched this hobby-turnedbusiness venture in 2018, and now, with advanced sommelier Eric Cooperman (for- rendering by merly of The Cliffs) MCMILLAN PAZDAN SMITH ARCHITECTURE on board, the urban winery and restaurant is set to open early 2020. The restaurant will offer an à la carte menu of small plates, tapas and shareable dishes, as well as a reservation-only, six-course prix fixe chef’s table experience. The location also includes event space, a retail shop and a full production area where Urban Wren will produce its own wine.

Can we get an "Amen!" for this one? These cocktail masters have been working at landing a downtown space for at least four years, and probably longer. But, the wait is almost over, and those who never made it to the elusive Thursday night secret location will now have the opportunity to enjoy the full experience as the owners intended. Members of the club will have special perks, but the bar specializing in pre-prohibition, classic cocktails will be open to the public.
Co-owner Drew Nesemeier brought his Charlotte, North Carolina, pay-by-wristband taproom concept back to his hometown of Greenville when he announced this second location for the brand. The main taproom will have 40 taps, and 15 taps will have wine, as well. The rooftop, currently under construction, can be reached by a central stairwell, will have the same taps as the ground level, and include yard games along with some great views of downtown. 9 Anderson St. | Greenville PROJECTED OPENING: By Jan. 1

Partners Stephen Phillips and Nick McSherry are more than ready to open their bar in the West End. Construction delays have kept that from happening sooner, but they’re hoping for January. Frequent pop-ups at GB&D, The Whale, and Methodical Coffee have kept the creative juices flowing and future customers engaged. Exile’s relaxed bar environment aims to be inclusive of everyone, regardless of cocktail knowledge or experience, and even those not drinking alcohol will have a variety of mocktails to choose from.

556 Perry Ave. | Greenville PROJECTED OPENING: Late spring
Four beverage-centric businesses will open by late spring in the adaptive reuse project in the Village of West Greenville. Six & Twenty Distillery, LaRue Fine Chocolate, Carolina Bauernhaus Brewery & Winery and Unlocked Coffee Roasters will take control of their spaces to begin build out in January with the goal of opening ASAP. Six & Twenty will feature a cocktail lounge; LaRue will offer artisan desserts, cheeses, wine, beer and cocktail lists; Carolina Bauernhaus will have an outdoor space for a beer garden and entertainment area; and Unlocked Coffee will roast its coffee and serve specialty drinks in its cafe.

The 13-restaurant outdoor food hall is so close to opening, we can almost smell the marinara from The Pasta Addict — one of the local spots on the roster. Announced in November 2017, this project has nearly worn out everyone involved, but the result will be worth it. The remainder of the tenants are Mike’s Philly Cheesesteak and Roast Pork; Sweet Sippin’; authentic German cuisine from Prost!; Cocobowlz; HenDough; Mercado Cantina; KO Burger; Al Taglio; Greenville Beer Exchange; Saki Saki; Rocky Moo; and West End Coffee Roasters.
Home Team BBQ’s sixth location and new to the market Double Stamp Brewery will anchor the 12-acre mixed-use development that will also include other restaurant, retail and office tenants. With plenty of onsite parking and green space to roam, this location was ideal for Home Team’s familyfriendly model when it brings its famous wings and comfort food from the Lowcountry to Greenville.

NOW - JANUARY 5 FINAL WEEKEND!
Technically speaking, the Upstate trio Her Pilots is a new band; they’ve been together for only about a year. But the trio of singerguitarist Zach Young, bassist Elliot Eichler and drummer Wayne Brock has plenty of band experience under their respective belts: Young with State Of Illusion; Eichler with Silvermane; and Brock with Conejo Blanco, Johnny Tango and Mischief Managed. What’s interesting is that their new single, “Ro Sham Bo,” doesn’t really sound like any of their former bands. The tune is a bouncing, propulsive mix of ragged garage rock and punk velocity, featuring a neck-snapping tempo change on the chorus and the odd, attention-getting line, “Life is just a game of ro sham bo.” It’s one of those great lines that could either mean a whole lot or nothing at all. And as it turns out, it’s kind of both. “The song is rooted in an inside joke I have with an old friend of mine,” says Zach Young, who wrote the lyrics. “We have this ongoing game of rock, paper, scissors; when we see each other, we each go into the rock, paper, scissors stance, so it’s basically an ode to that.

“But you can also take that lyric into the context of a relationship I had,” he continues. “We were always trying to guess each other’s next move, probably in an unhealthy way. So I guess that’s where my head was at when I was writing it.” Young probably isn’t talking about his relationship with his former band, but there’s no doubt that all three members of Her Pilots are determined not to repeat any past mistakes with this project. “We’re definitely learning from past experience,” Elliot Eichler says. “We’ve made
RADIOROOMGREENVILLE.COM enough rookie errors. We want quality over quantity, which means we don’t take every show that’s thrown at us. We plan things out further in advance, and it’s a lot easier with a trio because there’s less personalities to bounce off each other.” Eichler says the band’s raw-but-tight sound came naturally, through the three men’s shared musical influences. “Zach’s guitars lend themselves to the sound of the Foo Fighters and The Strokes,” he says, “and I’m a big Green Day fan, Our influences are on the same page as far as that punk garage-band sound, and so it naturally happened that way.” Young, Eichler and Brock knew and respected each other before forming Her Pilots, and they came together because each of their bands had broken up. “We all became single, so to speak, at the same time,” Eichler says with a laugh. “We’d all played shows with each other, so we decided to form up, and a three piece was born.” Eichler adds that there was never a thought of Her Pilots being more than a three-piece. “The thing is, I always wanted to be in a trio,” he says. “We all did. It was never a question. We all have a lot of space, and I like that. The responsibility is greater to fill the space, and you can keep it simple instead of having this wall of overwhelming sound. I guess the best way to put it is that less is more.” The band, which will perform Jan. 9 at the Radio Room in Greenville, has teamed up with the local video production company Brando Jones Films to make a video for “Ro Sham Bo,” and Eichler says the single is meant to serve as a calling card for their first full-length album, which they hope to release in the Fall. “It’s time to get these songs on a record and out there,” he says.

If a last-minute trip to The Big Easy is on your radar, then two things are certain: The Tigers will win and New Orleans, unlike other historic destinations, can be experienced like a local in just a few days. The city’s heartbeat is out on the streets and though there are gorgeous places to stay, New Orleans is not the trip to loll about a hotel room. Charge your phone, bring your walking shoes and keep your sipping hand free. There’s no open container law; “go cups” are a real thing and as a traveler it will maximize your ability to wander and experience. I’m asked this question often: what do I do and where do I stay in New Orleans? The macro answer is don’t stay in the French Quarter, have lunch twice and get your tarot cards read by Elie Barnes. Barnes is New Orleans’ most reviewed psychic so before you walk up to a street vendor in a jingling scarf, book an appointment with her at Omen (on Decatur St). Even a doubter will leave with a full heart. Grab coffee at one of French Truck Coffee’s many locations and opt for an early lunch followed by a later lunch. In this foodie mecca not to double book the midday meal would be a crime. Lastly, the French Quarter is the city’s biggest draw, a 24/7 wonderland, which means garbage trucks looping “the Quarter” at 4am every day. For this reason alone, opt to stay in the neighboring Warehouse District, full of comfortable boutique hotels. One last tip: Some music venues — and pedicabs (the quickest way to zip around the French Quarter) — remain cash only.

AMAZING GRACE
David Drake, circa 1800 to circa 1870 storage vessel, 1857 alkaline-glazed stoneware inscribed: Aug 16, 1857, Dave I wonder where is all my relation Friendship to all and every nation
I wonder where is all my relation Friendship to all and every nation Experience the powerful story of David Drake, an enslaved African-American who worked as a “turner” in several pottery manufacturing facilities in South Carolina’s Edgefield District. Drake, who was known only as “Dave” before 1865, learned to both read and write, dangerous and even illegal skills for a slave to possess. Drake openly expressed his literacy by inscribing original poems on many of the utilitarian works he created. The identities of millions of enslaved African-Americans, whose talents and labor supported the development of American culture, were overlooked or disregarded by recorded history. Through the modest wares handcrafted and inscribed by David Drake, at least one remarkable voice remains to speak on behalf of the lives and stories irretrievably lost. The GCMA is home to the largest institutional collection of pottery vessels by David Drake, including single-handle jugs, storage jars, pitchers, a syrup jug, and a rare butter churn.

Sometimes the best option is the simplest option, and it’s an added bonus if your situationally coerced choice turns out to be what you would’ve wanted all along. That’s a wordy and vague way of saying that a 7 p.m. show on a Thursday night leaves you only a short amount of time for parking and dining, so your options are limited. Your best one, however, is to valet park with Larkin’s on Main Street by the Gunter Theatre, and enjoy dinner at the longtime Greenville staple adept at getting their guests wined, dined and off to the show on time. Here’s the bonus: the new dinner menu from Adam Hayes, Larkin’s culinary director, rolled out a month ago, and there are some nice additions to the classic steakhouse menu.

what we're SEEING PATRICK DAVIS & HIS MIDNIGHT CHOIR For the record, Patrick Davis & His Midnight Choir is not actually a choral group. It’s an 11-piece band formed by Davis, an acclaimed songwriter who’s worked behind the scenes with popular artists such as Lady Antebellum, Darius Rucker, Guy Clark and many others. Davis and his big band recall both the genre-spanning music of Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, and the soulful chaos of Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder revue. The band features joyous bursts of horns, backing vocals and soulful, country-tinged rock; thanks to Davis’ rock-solid catalog of songs, the band has one heck of a compelling setlist. This is “big music” in every sense of the term.
