CITY

REWIND AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Top 5 | Our City

by CINDY LANDRUM Unity Park is getting closer to construction. The city is getting more affordable housing. Parking and public transportation are still generating headlines. In the city of Greenville, growth and the issues surrounding it dominated the top news stories of 2018.

UNITY PARK

The Greenville Housing Trust Fund, established last year as a way for the city to address an affordable-housing shortage, made its first round of loans in 2018. The Greenville City Council established the independent, nonprofit fund after a 2016 study showed that the city had a shortage of more than 2,500 affordable-housing units. The city provided $2 million in initial funding, and City Council voted in October to earmark an additional $1.5 million from its budget surplus. Last month, the Greenville Housing Trust Fund announced a new homeowner-preservation program that will provide money to nonprofit and local government sponsors to help homeowners make repairs so they can remain in their homes.

MCPHERSON LANE

While actual construction of Unity Park won’t begin until late 2019, the city is working on its newest signature park planned for west of downtown on the city’s former public works campus. The park’s name, announced in May, was chosen to reflect that the park will be a place for everyone.

At one time, the area was home to two parks, one for blacks and the other for whites. The first phase of the park is estimated to cost $41.2 million and will include a pedestrian bridge over the Reedy River, a destination playground and water feature, Welborn Square, a visitor’s center and gathering hall, a great lawn, and improvements to Hudson Street and the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Private funds will help pay for the park, and $1.875 million had been raised as of this month.

Future phases could include an observation tower, wetland restoration, and a nature area.

Scores of neighborhoods in the city have undergone traffic-calming efforts, but none were as controversial as McPherson Lane. Residents in a five-block area off Augusta Street were overwhelmingly in favor of making a barricade that turned one block of McPherson into a one-way street, and City Council approved the measure in May. The issue divided the neighborhood. Residents of the five streets said they were promised the barricade as an answer to their concerns over increased traffic from a redeveloped strip shopping center on Augusta Street that houses Verizon Wireless and Moe’s Southwest Grill. Residents of other streets in the neighborhood said their streets were being adversely affected. A lawsuit has been filed in the case. The city has said it is changing its traffic-calming process and one-ways will no longer be an option for neighborhoods.

CITY MANAGER After eight years as Greenville’s city manager, John Castile announced in May that he was stepping down. His last day with the city was Aug. 31. He wasn’t out of work long. Castile was named the Greenville County Redevelopment Authority’s executive director in September. Nancy Whitworth, the city’s deputy city manager and economic development director, is serving as interim city manager until City Council hires a full-time replacement. The council interviewed two finalists in October but decided not to hire either one. A third finalist dropped out to become city manager for Asheville, North Carolina.

PARKING & TRANSPORTATION A group of downtown business leaders formed the Downtown Transportation Coalition and is demanding a better public transit system, saying that a lack of parking and a viable bus system threatens the city’s ability to attract and retain employers. Greenlink has said it needs $5 million more annually to expand service to more areas of the county, improve bus frequency, and extend hours, and $7 million for one-time capital expenses for more buses. Greenlink’s long-range plan also calls for opening a new maintenance facility, something for which the bus system recently received an $11 million federal grant. The grant requires a $2.75 million local match. City Council has earmarked $1.4 million of the city’s budget surplus for part of the local match. The city will also use $1 million of the surplus to buy new buses and refurbish the current fleet.

COUNTY

REWIND Top 5 | Our County

by CINDY LANDRUM 2018 was a headline-generating year in Greenville County with redevelopment plans for County Square announced, former Greenville County Sheriff Will Lewis indicted, and clashes between developers and residents who worried infrastructure wasn’t in place to support projects.

COUNTY SQUARE

Atlanta-based developer RocaPoint Partners was chosen in April for the $1 billion redevelopment of County Square.

Under the deal, RocaPoint will acquire or sell most of the nearly 38 acres of county-owned land on University Ridge in exchange for building a new $60 million glass-and-steel building that will house most county operations. The building is being designed by London-based Foster + Partners, the firm that designed Apple’s headquarters. The redeveloped County Square is expected to have 3 million square feet of new Class A office, retail, hotel, residential, and public space. It is expected to generate annual business revenues of more than $560 million once completed in seven to 10 years. Construction of the county building has not started, and it likely will be the summer of 2021 before the county is able to relocate its operations.

■■rendering by ROCAPOINT PARTNERS

DEVELOPMENT CONFLICTS Residential growth in the northern and southern ends of Greenville County caused conflict throughout the year.

Greenville County changed its development rules for rural areas that are not zoned, allowing the county planning commission to consider compatibility with neighboring properties in its decision to approve or reject.

Two lawsuits have been filed, one by a developer whose subdivision on Tigerville Road in northern Greenville County was rejected and the other by residents over a proposed subdivision off Fairview Road in the southern part of the county.

SHERIFF INDICTED Sheriff Will Lewis was suspended from office in April after he was indicted on charges of misconduct in office and obstruction of justice. Gov. Henry McMaster appointed retired sheriff and U.S. Marshal Johnny Mack Brown as interim sheriff. The indictments followed sexual assault and harassment allegations by Lewis’ former assistant, Savannah Nabors. She filed a lawsuit that alleged Lewis sexually assaulted her during a business trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, in March 2017. That lawsuit has been settled. The terms were not disclosed because of a confidentiality agreement. Lewis is expected to go to trial on the criminal charges around March.

GREENVILLE ROADS Orange traffic cones and barriers were a familiar sight in Greenville County, especially around Interstate 85, Interstate 385, and Woodruff Road. Construction on the Gateway Project is about halfway done and is scheduled to be finished in 2020. In addition, the state Department of Transportation is working on determining an alternate route to Woodruff Road. A study to determine the environmental impact of three routes is underway, and a public hearing is tentatively set for April 2019 to review the recommendations.

MOTEL DISPLACEMENTS When the Economy Inn off Augusta Road in Greenville County was condemned in January, more than 100 people were left scrambling to find places to live. Some ended up sleeping on cots at a local church for as long as three weeks. The next time a motel is condemned, local government and nonprofit organizations have a plan to help residents find shelter. Homeless advocates say there are 12 motels in the Pleasantburg Drive, Mauldin Road, and Augusta Road areas that are being used as long-term housing by low-income individuals and families. The motel displacement response plan said the first goal is prevention of condemnation by local governments working with motel owners and property managers to make repairs.

Keep That Holiday Sparkle!

REWIND ■■photo by WILL CROOKS

Tis the season to be jolly! Keep your smile looking it’s best this holiday season with a few simple tips.

• Brushing is key to a happy, healthy smile! Try to brush at the least two times per day, and a bit more if eating those wonderful sweet treats. Remember to avoid or limit the sticky sweets like taffy, caramels and even hard candies; these treats leave residue on the teeth increasing the risk of decay.

• To keep your teeth their whitest stick to light colored or clear beverages.

Many of our favorite holiday beverages like the red wine, mixed cocktails and mulled ciders are acidic and staining - just try to rinse throughout the evening, no one will know and you will be doing your teeth a favor!

• NEVER EVER use your teeth as tools; don’t tear tape, paper or open any packages with your teeth and don’t pull that cork with your teeth! Using your teeth as a tool could cause breakage and serious, costly damage.

Having dental work during your holiday is not what anyone wants.

• When you are out at holiday celebrations carry a little hygiene kit, a small floss for that spinach dip in the teeth, even a travel toothbrush or disposable brush to clean away the many foods that can do a number on your teeth.

In a pinch even sugar-free gum after eating to freshen up and remove some food residue will work.

• Be kind to your smile - take care of your teeth by scheduling needed dental work and always keeping your regular preventative appointments!

Make your resolution now to make the most of your smile; in the coming year treat yourself to that whitening or those veneers you dreamed of and no matter what commit to the regular check-ups!

Keep smiling in the years to come!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Team at Meyer Dentistry!

by SARA PEARCE 2018 has brought much news, some long-awaited, to the Greenville community. From the birth of a baby orangutan to the resolution of a 28-year-old cold case, there has been no shortage of community news this year.

GREENVILLE POLICE The Greenville Police Department identified Robert Eugene Brashers as Genevieve Zitricki’s killer 28 years after her murder. The breakthrough came from nuances in DNA testing called “genetic genealogy,” which uses advanced DNA testing in combination with genetic analysis to establish relationships between relatives. Brashers was linked to several other homicides and crimes around the Southeast before taking his own life in 1999.

CANCER SURVIVORS PARK After two decades of ups and downs, the Cancer Survivors Park finally opened in 2018. Conceived by Kimberly Wallner for her senior project at Christ Church Episcopal School, the park is meant to give hope to those who have been diagnosed with cancer, as well as bring together those who have conquered it. The 6.8-acre site between Falls Park and Cleveland Park will continue to grow and has plans to offer educational programming, as well.

PRISMA HEALTH 2018 brought changes to Greenville’s largest hospital systems. In late 2017, Greenville Health System announced its merger with Midlands-based Palmetto Health and announced in 2018 it will take the name Prisma Health. Prisma Health will be the largest hospital system in South Carolina and among the top 50 in the United States. Bon Secours Health System announced a merger with Mercy Health and will be known as Bon Secours Mercy Health. The CEO of Mercy Health, John M. Starcher Jr., will serve as CEO of the new organization. Bon Secours President and CEO Rich Statuto will retire in 2019. The leadership at Bon Secours St. Francis, which operates the two hospitals in Greenville, will remain the same with Craig McCoy as CEO.

Congratulations!

REWIND

From a revamp of state report cards to mental health counselors in every Greenville County public school, much has happened in education throughout 2018.

STATE REPORT CARDS The state Department of Education, along with the S.C. Education Oversight Committee, overhauled school and district report cards this year. The cards now feature school ratings for the first time in four years and more data than ever. Some of the new information, such as the 2-year-old arrest data at each school, are federal mandates under the Every Student Succeeds Act. Others, such as scores on the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment, are provided in an attempt to be transparent.

The report cards include ratings for each school on academic achievement, student progress, and school quality. Overall, the report cards paint a bleak picture of South Carolina’s education outcomes — average scores dropped on the ACT and End of Course tests, although SAT scores rose slightly. The achievement gap for black and historically underserved groups compared with white students remains a trend that can be tracked schoolwide — schools in the county with primarily minority populations performed worse than schools with a majority of white students.

SC SCHOOL BUSES At the start of the year, legislators overrode Gov. Henry McMaster’s veto for bus funding to get 210 model-year 1995 and 1996 buses off roads. In the past three years, the buses have been the cause of more than a dozen school-bus fires across the state. The state Department of Education said the 1995-96 buses make up the majority of the more-than-100 bus fires in the state since 1995. As of Christmas, none of the districts will have the buses, which the department said are prone to “thermal events,” but that doesn’t mean all of the buses will be new.

Districts still have buses from 1988 in their fleets. A spokesperson for the state department said the agency’s budget request reflects an updated fleet, but it’s contingent on funding.

We always let you know who will be there when you open the door!

UNITY PARK

MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELORS Greenville County Schools has expanded the number of mental-health counselors in the district so each school has at least a part-time counselor. The district now has 83 full-time counselors in 98 schools and programs. In 2017-18, the district served 20 percent more students compared with 2015-16, and increased counselors’ encounters with students by more than 60 percent. The district’s goal is to have a full-time counselor in every school by the end of the school year.

FURMAN ATONES FOR PAST After a student wrote an op-ed in Furman University’s student newspaper calling out the school’s early leadership, administrators created a task force to look into its past and come up with recommendations for reconciliation. The Task Force on Slavery and Justice released a report this year titled “Seeking Abraham,” which described the racist views and beliefs of Richard Furman, the school’s namesake, and his son James Furman, the school’s first president. Both Furmans encouraged slavery in one form or another — Richard wrote a moral defense of slavery used as justification by religious leaders at the time, and James used harsher, more-violent rhetoric to dissuade people from joining abolitionists. The task force gave 19 recommendations to the university to “reckon with the past, repair the harm, and create increasing justice in each generation.”

The university has already implemented one by increasing scholarships for minority students. Furman’s board of trustees announced it will review the recommendations that require board approval and make decisions on them by spring.

CHARTER SCHOOLS

The past year has been full of tension between charter school authorizers in South Carolina. Recently, legislators formed an ad-hoc committee to evaluate the charter school law, which is vague on higher education institutions as authorizers. In 2017, Erskine College became the first private college in the state to sponsor charter schools. When Erskine made the announcement, it said there were already two interested applicants — Cyber Academy of South Carolina and the South Carolina Virtual Charter School, both online schools already sponsored by the South Carolina Public Charter School District. Both schools had been placed in “breach” status of their charter contract by the SCPCSD for consistently poor academic performance. Not long after the two virtual schools, seven more transferred from the SCPCSD to Erskine’s charter institute. The SCPCSD did not support the transfers, citing a national phenomenon called “authorizer shopping” where failing charter schools switch sponsors to evade accountability and stay open. The schools have argued that wasn’t their intent, but they switched for more support from their sponsor.

“The technician was at our home on time (actually a few minutes early) and did a fantastic job. Listened to our issues, assessed situation, presented multiple options and answered all our questions professionally.Work was completed in a few hours. My wife and I were very comfortable with him in our home (we even left him there for a few hours alone) and very pleased with his work.

REWIND PROJECT HEALING WATERS

Top 5 | Environment

by ANDREW MOORE A new project aims to improve the Reedy River’s water quality. One of the Upstate’s most-popular state parks is getting an expansion. And local veterans are finding healing through fly-fishing. The year 2018 has seen no shortage of news related to Mother Nature.

Local veterans struggling with mental and physical disabilities are finding peace through fly-fishing thanks to Project Healing Waters. The Maryland-based nonprofit, which began in 2005 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, is “dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing and associated activities.”

From tying flies to building fly rods, Project Healing Waters teaches participants the basics of fly-fishing. All equipment is provided at no cost. The nonprofit also hosts free daylong and overnight fishing expeditions. Chuck Rouse, who oversees the Project Healing Waters program in the Upstate, said fly-fishing often provides disabled veterans a welcome distraction from their troubles. He leads two instructional events each month in Greenville and hosts about 10 fishing expeditions each year in the Carolinas and Georgia.

REEDY RIVER Despite its recent status as a downtown attraction, the Reedy River historically has been one of the most polluted waterways in South Carolina. Once the dumping ground for local textile mills, the upper portion of the 65-mile-long river is said to have changed colors daily, depending on which dyes mills were using to color fabrics, according to Greenville Mayor Knox White. But now the city has launched a project to improve the river’s water quality and reduce flooding that has long been a concern for downtown. As part of Unity Park’s construction in West Greenville, Ohio-based urban design and landscape architecture firm MKSK plans to expand the park’s active floodplain by excavating a bankfull bench, which is a flat or shallowly sloped area above the water level, along a 30-foot river channel that runs through the heart of the property.

The restoration project along the channel is expected to slow floodwater along the Reedy and decrease the risk of flooding farther downstream in downtown.

LAKE CONESTEE

GREENVILLE WATER

As other parts of the country struggle to find adequate supplies of clean water, Greenville has abundant, and comparatively clean, water resources. The city’s tap water routinely meets state and federal regulations, and it has even been named the “best-tasting” water in South Carolina and the country. So why does the city have such high-quality drinking water? It begins with safeguarding the 30,000 acres of forested watersheds that surround the North Saluda and Table Rock reservoirs, which have provided millions of gallons of drinking water to Greenville residents since the 1930s. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northern Greenville County, these forest systems play an important, yet often overlooked, role in protecting the public water supply, according to Henry Poole, watershed manager for Greenville Water, the city’s water utility. Now he’s developing a number of conservation measures within the watersheds, including a long-term project to monitor salamander populations.

JONES GAP STATE PARK

Greenville’s Lake Conestee Nature Park is home to 219 bird species and serves as the wintering ground of South Carolina’s largest reported population of rusty blackbirds, which are listed as a “vulnerable species” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, according to Dave Hargett, the park’s founder. In 2011, the National Audubon Society and Bird Life International designated Lake Conestee as an “Important Bird Area” for its global significance to rusty blackbirds, according to Hargett. Now, seven years later, Lake Conestee Nature Park is partnering with Audubon South Carolina to bolster its conservation efforts. Hargett said the partnership with Audubon South Carolina not only adds another credential to Lake Conestee Nature Park’s list of conservation achievements but also allows the two organizations to “collaborate with one another, and with allied conservation agencies and organizations, to identify opportunities for cooperative work on mutually beneficial bird and wildlife conservation projects and activities.”

One of the most popular state parks in the Upstate could soon get more hiking trails and campgrounds thanks to a local environmental group. Naturaland Trust, a Greenville-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of land and other natural resources throughout the Upstate, announced on Aug. 14 the donation of 680 acres to Jones Gap State Park in northern Greenville County. The nonprofit’s donation includes property along the South Carolina-North Carolina line that borders Jones Gap State Park and another piece that was recently acquired through private donations, according to a news release. Mac Stone, executive director of Naturaland Trust, said the donated land would ultimately act as a connector between Jones Gap State Park and Gap Creek, a 955-acre tract along the South Carolina-North Carolina border that was donated to the state park system last year by the Greenville office of The Nature Conservancy, a nonprofit conservation group headquartered in Washington, D.C.

The two-week Peace Center run of “Hamilton” would have a big year in the arts all on its own. But that wasn’t the only big story for Greenville’s art scene. Here are some of this year’s most notable arts and culture stories.

As a Duke Energy lineman, I’ve seen firsthand how hard this year’s weather has been on our customers … from hurricanes to this recent winter storm.

We know that life can’t get back to normal without power. That’s why, no matter what the conditions, we’re determined to help our friends, neighbors and the whole state recover as fast as possible.

From all of us at Duke Energy, thank you for your patience. We’re proud to serve you and the places we call home.

‘HAMILTON’ COMES TO TOWN As soon as it was announced two years ago that the touring show of “Hamilton” would have a two-week run at the Peace Center in 2018, it became the hottest ticket in recent Greenville theater history. The Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Awardwinning smash hit that tells the story of one of America’s founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton, sold out within hours.

South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities graduate Wonza Johnson was in the cast and played the lead role in the Dec. 11 performance. There’s good news for those who were not able to score a ticket to this run. Peace Center officials said the show would be back sooner versus later.

‘AFRO ART’

In late 2018, a special photography exhibit came to Greenville that had gained acclaim from newspapers and magazines all over the world as well as from many celebrities. CreativeSoul Photography created their series called “Afro Art” to empower young women of color to embrace their natural hair texture, because the photographers say that it was overwhelmingly being overlooked for its natural beauty. The exhibit came to Greenville through the efforts of Greenville native Kahran Bethencourt, one of the people behind the collection. CreativeSoul Photography plans to continue its series in an upcoming book as well as to take the project international. The collection gained notice from Vanity Fair, Daily Mail, Glamour, Buzzfeed, CBS, BET, BBC News, as well as celebrities such as Taraji P. Henson, Alicia Keys, and Common.

PUBLIC ART

2018 came with new public art across the city. Former S.C. Governor and U.S. Education Secretary Dick Riley was honored with a sculpture downtown commissioned by the Arts in Public Places Commission. The statue, created by sculptor Zan Wells, will honor Riley’s commitment to quality education for all children and his public leadership. Artisphere’s fourth sculpture will come to the Village of West Greenville in spring of 2019. The sculpture will be illumination and draws inspiration from the area’s textile heritage. Additionally, the Stone Mural Project added three more murals along Stone Avenue. by local artists Michelle Jardines, Annie Koelle, and Bannan Blasko LLC. ■■rendering by BLESSING HANCOCK

GREENVILLE SYMPHONY The Greenville Symphony Orchestra welcomed Laura Colgate as concertmaster in 2018. Colgate is the symphony’s firstchair violinist, an honored spot to the left of conductor Edvard Tchivzhel. Colgate is often featured as a soloist and also participates in auditions for new members of the orchestra.

While Colgate actually lives in Takoma Park, Maryland, she performed on every Masterworks program and in most of the smaller chamber and Spotlight Series concerts.

BEST ALBUM SC Ritual

MUSIC

REWIND ■■photo by WILL CROOKS

Top 9 | Local Music

by VINCENT HARRIS This is my attempt to break down 2018’s Greenville music scene into the best and brightest. There are a lot of incredible shows, and people, who didn’t make it in, but that’s a good thing. We have so many sources of creativity and venues to express it in now that I firmly believe that this town is (finally) headed for a healthy and thriving music scene.

Glass Mansions Put simply, no one else in the state is making electronic music that rocks like this. No one else is writing brutal, self-lacerating lyrics as well as singer Jayna Doyle, and no one is coming up with songs as simultaneously dark and powerful as the five songs on Ritual. Listen to the EP’s lead single, “Nightswimming” and tell me it’s not one of the most memorable, haunting pop songs you’ve ever heard; I dare you.

■■photo by HALEIGH SCOTT

BEST BAND/PERFORMER Local Hugger Mugger This quartet was the best band in town last year, and they’re still the best band in town, and I only hesitated in naming them as such because they didn’t have an album out this year. But singer/guitarist Cass Posey is the most compelling lyricist and performer on the scene, and the band, Posey, drummer Jared Burger, guitarist Drew McConnell, and bassist Jason Hathcox are absolutely lethal onstage, creating an all-encompassing maelstrom of guitars and tight, shifting rhythms. They are not so much seen live as they are experienced. On a good night, they’ll floor you.

BEST BAND/PERFORMER SC Whitehall With its album, “Ocean Friction,” Charleston’s Whitehall perfected a polished, irresistible guitar-pop sound, aided by Patrick Magwood’s warm tenor saxophone lines. But the band is somehow even better live, adding some rough edges but still packing the songs with bright, melodic hooks.

■■photos PROVIDED

PERSON OF THE YEAR Local Mark Hartwell Jones, The Hoodoo Music Podcast Jones has spent much of the last two years documenting local musicians of all stripes on his Hoodoo Music Podcast, and as an added bonus, he allows these bands to use the songs they record for the podcast for free as promotional tools. I spoke with him earlier this year, and his generosity toward, curiosity about, and enthusiasm for our local scene is contagious.

PERSON OF THE YEAR SC D.J. Edwards, Real South Records Edwards has created a record label that has no borders, bringing rock bands, rappers and pop groups into the fold and then providing them a platform to grow on. His job, as he told me recently, is to do for his artists whatever they can’t do themselves, whether that’s production, promotion, business management, or booking. Edwards and his team are providing an invaluable service to a whole host of acts.

BEST ALBUM Local Welcome To Earth

The Greenville Jazz Collective Big Band It would’ve been so easy for this 17-piece big band to go into producer/engineer Matt Morgan’s Sit-n-Spin studio, bang out some big-band classics, write some originals in the vein of Count Basie or Duke Ellington and call it a day. Instead, what they did was create one of the most entertaining and challenging releases of the year, combining their own complexbut-melodic jazz compositions with some truly inspired solos and skin-tight ensemble playing. This is exciting music, regardless of genre, and Morgan’s production is pitch-perfect.

VENUE OF THE YEAR The Firmament, 5 Market Point Drive Greenville If I were going to write a manual on how to operate a successful mid-sized venue in this city, I would follow The Firmament’s blueprint: adventurous-but-smart booking that’s included everything from bluegrass (Billy Strings) to platinumselling rock bands (P.O.D.) to electronic music superstars (Paul Oakenfold, Snails); relentless and creative marketing; a state-of-the-art sound system; and constant attention to detail. That approach may not allow owners Andrew Peek and Chad Hendricks and their staff to get much sleep, but if The Firmament’s approach isn’t the right one, I don’t know what is.

BEST SHOW Small Venue *repeat repeat, Radio Room, Sept. 14 Fresh off a career-making set at the Bonnaroo Music Festival, Nashville’s *repeat repeat played a show here in town that was a testament to the sheer emotional power of loud, no-B.S. rock ’n’ roll. While his guitar roared and the band pummeled the surf-rock style rhythms behind him, singer Jared Corder flung himself around the stage and into the crowd, refusing to quit until everyone in the audience was part of the band’s euphoric service at the altar of rock.

BEST SHOW Large Venue

The Jerry Douglas Band, Fall For Greenville, Oct. 14 “We’re going to play a bluegrass song now,” said Dobro master Jerry Douglas at several points in his band’s set, only to follow that statement with some of the most non-bluegrass playing of his career. Leading a group of devastatingly skilled musicians through jazz, rock, experimental music, and, occasionally, bluegrass, Douglas served notice one more time that he is a musical omnivore with zero regard for the limitations of genre. Good thing this was an outdoor show, because the sky was the limit, musically speaking.

FUTURE n by

The focus is off of downtown proper for many of the most anticipated restaurants and breweries planned to open in 2019. The West End and west side of Greenville will see several new concepts, as will Laurens Road and other outlying, less noticeably saturated areas. Meanwhile, at least a dozen more restaurants have yet to announce but likely will in the first quarter, making 2019 another year of growth for Greenville’s celebrated restaurant scene.

OAK & HONEY

PROJECTED OPENING: JANUARY 2019 The newest concept from Auro Hotels, which owns Roost in the Hyatt Regency, is Oak & Honey, a bar and restaurant concept opening in downtown Greenville inside the new Residence Inn Springhill Suites on the corner of East Washington and Spring streets. The concept’s menu keys off of the natureinspired décor. Auro master of mixology Zachary Calfee wowed the guests at euphoria food, wine, and music festival in September with a teaser cocktail from the menu served in an actual honey bear. Construction delays have pushed the opening from fall 2018 into late January.

LUNA ROSA

PROJECTED OPENING: WINTER 2019 The family-owned and run Italian restaurant has moved from its 1,100-square-foot location at 9 W. Washington St. to the former Bellacino’s Pizza & Grinders spot at 123 S. Main St. Construction is underway after months of delays. The larger location will include expanded offerings, including more dinner entrees and a full Italian bar program developed by pink-haired mixologist Jeni Blyth, who has worked at Luna Rosa off and on for years. Blyth’s program will include an afternoon aperitivo hour, which is like happy hour but serves the purpose of preparing the digestive system for dinner, and a full amari program, which can soothe the stomach after a big meal.

FLYING BISCUIT CAFE

PROJECTED OPENING: WINTER 2019

The long-vacant Haley building at 656 S. Main St. next to the Army & Navy Store has its first restaurant tenant. The Flying Biscuit Café, based in Atlanta, will occupy 2,876 square feet on the right half of the building, and construction is well underway. New franchise owner Summer Lee, who lives in Columbia but grew up in Easley, says she hopes to have the restaurant up and running after extensive build-out by early 2019.

The café is much more than biscuits — the menu includes fresh salads and sandwiches, breakfast bowls, oatmeal pancakes, and more.

1325 MILLER ROAD

HABITAP

■■rendering by CRAIG GAULDEN DAVIS ARCHITECTURE

PROJECTED OPENING: FEBRUARY 2019 From the partners who successfully brought Southern Culture and LTO Burger Bar to the North Pleasantburg restaurant desert comes HabiTap, a fast casual tap house located at 1325 Miller Road between Woodruff Road and Frankie’s Fun Park. With 40-plus craft beers and eight wines on tap, they’ll also offer retail beer and wine for take home along with grab-and-go food options, such as deli-style sandwiches, salads, and other quick grabs. The menu will consist of appetizers (baked pretzel with Velveeta beer cheese, fried emoki mushroom “fries,” charcuterie, and hummus), chef salads, and vegan salad options. Offerings will also include Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, falafel sandwiches, burgers, meatball subs, and turkey Reubens. Flatbreads will include vegan and gluten-free options. In addition, HabiTap will have a biscuit-heavy brunch on Saturdays and Sundays and bottomless mimosas. The warehouse-industrial-style space will include a large covered patio that will be dog-friendly, and they’ll have ping pong, shuffleboard, and corn hole available also. “This is as much a grab-and-go place as it is a hangout,” says co-owner Chad Gangwer.

HAYWOOD MALL

RICK ERWIN’S SEAFOOD NAME TBA

PROJECTED OPENING: WINTER 2019 The latest from Rick Erwin Dining Group will be a small menu seafood restaurant in Haywood Mall in the 5,500-squarefoot former Palmetto Moon retail space fronting the parking lot on the lower level next to Sears. The dining group is not releasing the name yet, and plans to announce that in late January. It will be an upscale casual seafood concept with a small, chef-driven, seasonally changing menu, full bar, and an outdoor patio that will be shielded from the parking lot, says Michael Ivey, Rick Erwin CFO and partner. As for the name, Ivey says it is following a trend the group started with its two most-recent restaurants in Spartanburg — The Standard and Level 10 — neither of which is branded with the Rick Erwin’s name or logo.

PROJECTED OPENING: MAY 2019 Josh Beeby, the owner of Barley’s Taproom and The Trappe Door, is opening his third restaurant, this time outside of downtown Greenville. The Burrow, named after the homonym for neighborhoods in large cities and a safe haven for small animals, will open in late spring in the former Gregory’s Laundry & Cleaners redeveloped by Stone Property Management at the corner of Augusta Street and East Faris Road. The family, neighborhood restaurant and grill will feature a wide variety of cuisine, with the focus on wood-fired dishes using a 60-inch Grillworks Argentine-style open fire grill. The menu will include simple snacks, small plates (poutine, pork belly, and gnocchi), bowls (ramen, poke, family recipe of red beans and rice, and pozole), salads, and entrees such as steak, rotisserie chicken, grilled octopus, and ribs.

The full bar will feature craft cocktails that Beeby’s Trappe Door customers have come to expect. Beeby describes The Burrow as what his Augusta-Roadarea neighbors and friends would expect from a downtown restaurant but in a casual neighborhood setting. “We got sick of our friends complaining about not having a restaurant,” he jokes.

Designed to be a neighborhood restaurant, the 49-seat bistro will be open initially from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. weekdays, so the catering company can still operate at full capacity on the weekends. McGroarty says he plans to eventually add dinner service, as well. The menu will includes no more than 10 items daily, with a burger, other sandwiches, salads, and other comfort food, McGroarty says.

THE WHALE

Gather GVL is completely leased and construction is underway on the shipping container food hall and gathering place across from the new South Carolina Children’s Theatre site and adjacent to Fluor Field. The restaurant lineup includes 13 concepts: The Pasta Addict; Mike’s Philly Cheesesteak and Roast Pork; wine bar Sweet Sippin’; authentic German cuisine from Prost!; plant-based smoothies and bowls from Cocobowlz; HenDough’s fried chicken and doughnuts; Mercado Cantina’s Mexican fare; KO Burger with the griddled smash burgers; Roman pizza from Al Taglio; Greenville Beer Exchange; poke bowls from Saki Saki; Rocky Moo ice cream sandwiches; and West End Coffee Roasters.

116-120 N. MARKLEY ST.

PROJECTED OPENING: LATE SPRING 2019 The Whale, Asheville’s year-old craft beer collective, will open on the ground level of The Greene Apartments in the West End this summer, if construction starts as planned early in the first quarter of 2019. Co-owners Andrew Ross and Jesse Van Note are Ashevillians through and through, but love the Greenville area. They’re hoping to bring their love of beer history to a market that already has a wide variety of new, local brews.

The Whale GVL bottle shop and bar should open in early summer 2019 with 20 draft beers, 200 bottles, wine, saki, mead, and charcuterie and sandwiches. The new location will be a polar opposite aesthetic from Asheville’s darker, more tavern-like space. In a new construction space, it will have a high-end feel without pretense.

MARKLEY STATION

PROJECTED OPENING: LATE SPRING 2019

One of three restaurants at Markley Station has opened — Todaro Pizza from Clemson — and the other two are aiming for summer openings. Hoppin’, a modern self-serve tap room out of Charlotte, North Carolina, is currently in the permitting stage for the largest of the three spaces. Upon completion, the main taproom will have 40 taps.

A 1,200-square-foot back room that can be used for private events will have 15 taps.

About 15 taps total will have wine, as well. The rooftop area, which can be reached by a central stairwell, will have the same taps and be an all-weather, covered, heated space with yard games. Across the central plaza, Urban Wren, a new Greenville-based urban winery, is under construction. The goal is for the winery to serve its own branded wine within two years of beginning the fermentation process locally. The tasting room will also feature wines from California’s Napa Valley and Argentina as well as Italian wines, focusing on the DOCG designation, the highest quality rating for Italian wines. Italian cheeses and meats, including tableside sliced prosciutto, will be served along with small plates designed to be paired with wines.

PHOTOS OF THE YEAR 1. BELLE (JUNE 1) Theater photoshoots bring an opportunity to capture a sense of fantasy and otherworldliness.

For this photograph, I wanted to use dramatic and directional light to create a cinematic image that feels like a movie still rather than a simple portrait.

2. SARAH SELF-MAXWELL (FEB. 2) Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty for the shot.

Other times you have to crawl around on all fours in the dirt. Sarah Self-Maxwell somehow managed to keep her composure, keep the laughs to a minimum, and hold a squat as I army-crawled for an hour to find the perfect angle.

3. KYMBERLY DAY (NOV. 2)

4.

Sometimes you walk into a room and thank the photo gods for their bounty. Stepping into Kymberly Day’s artist studio and seeing her massive purple sculptures was one of those times. I used a wide-angle lens to create some distortion and give the scene an “Alice in Wonderland” vibe.

4. ACTOR PORTRAIT (JULY 13) Studio sessions for our Backstage Q&A series allow the actors and me to collaborate on mood boards that flesh out a loose visual framework. The shoots tend to have a level of improvisation similar to a jazz performance with both the photographer and subject lending creative nuances.

This image came about with wanting to play with shapes and different geometries while simplifying all other elements.

5. LAUREN DEAN AS WONDER WOMAN (APRIL 6)

5.

For SC Comicon this year, we set up a full-on studio to document the best cosplay outfits and characters of the weekend. I created images with a cinematic feel using lighting equipment and dynamic poses. The setup was meant to draw attention to the detail and craftsmanship that goes into these incredible character costumes. Lauren Dean’s gesture and expression perfectly captured the character of Wonder Woman.

PHOTOS OF THE YEAR 6. MICHELLE JARDINES (MAY 11) I find photographing artists in their studios to be an incredible experience. Each space lends perspective to the artist’s unique creative process. Artist Michelle Jardines’ space helped create a visual that not only captures her personality, but also the subtle color palettes of her work itself.

7. EDIBERTO & DE’JA, GLOW THEATRE’S “IN THE HEIGHTS” (JULY 20) I wanted to find a way to capture the chemistry between Ediberto’s and De’ja’s characters in Glow Theatre’s rendition of “In the Heights.” I decided to let the interlacing arms and hands combine with their expressions to carry the image. Sometimes less is more when trying to capture emotion.

8. PROFESSOR SPROUTS (MARCH 16)

8.

Photographing animals is hard.

Like really, really hard. They take direction terribly. Not seen is the hand of Max Dinatalie, Professor Sprouts’ owner, throwing raisins and wielding a peanut butterslathered spoon. It only took 347 frames to grab this ridiculously cute moment.

9.

9. STREET STYLE (MAY 25) Artisphere not only brings art alive downtown, it also brings out Greenville’s most colorful and stylish characters. This particular fellow caught my eye with his use of bold color and playful patterns that felt just right for a swelteringly hot Southern day at an art festival.

6.

7.

PHOTOS OF THE YEAR 10. JONATHAN WILLIS, FARM FRESH FAST (MAY 11) Sometimes the most interesting image from a shoot happens when you ask your photo subject to go a little above and beyond and to trust your vision.

Luckily, Jonathan Willis, owner of Farm Fresh Fast, was willing to do just that when I asked him to hop up on this old, run-down SUV. 11. IGGY SUAREZ, THE GREENVILLE DRIVE (FEB. 2)

10.

11.

12.

I oftentimes look to cinema and movie stills to inspire the images I create for the Greenville Journal. With Iggy Suarez, manager of the Greenville Drive, I wanted to create an image that had a cinematic perspective and sense of visual dynamism.

The focused lighting makes the background fall dark and focuses all the attention on the primary subject, creating a sort of hero image that allows the subject to appear almost larger than life.

12. LAURA LEIGH MORRIS (FEB. 23) Laura Leigh Morris is the author of “Jaws of Life,� a book of short stories chronicling life in impoverished small towns in West Virginia. Her stories capture a sense of foreboding and decay that I wanted to carry over into the images. I chose an environment that could conjure similar feelings as the locations of her stories, which allowed the photo to take on a more narrative-driven quality.

The Community Foundation’s MATTERS Sue Priester reflects on giving GIVING

presented by the Community Foundation of Greenville

At the end of this month my term as chair of the Community Foundation of Greenville will conclude, and I have thoroughly enjoyed serving. I was asked by foundation president Bob Morris to share some personal thoughts about philanthropy in our town and at this time.

Let’s consider the word “foundation.” In the context of the Community Foundation of Greenville, it means a collection of professionally managed funds used for charitable purposes. For those who have financial resources and charitable intent, the Community Foundation has been Greenville’s trusted institution to help maximize both for more than 60 years. But just as relevant and descriptive are other meanings of “foundation” — as in a substructure or an underpinning, or by extension, a fundamental principle or cornerstone. Looked at from that perspective, the Community Foundation is a living demonstration of what underlies a success-

ful community: connectedness, sharing of resources, and a concern for the future. Its fundamental principle is a belief that those of us who are blessed with good fortune have a responsibility to pay it forward and give others the same opportunity.

I don’t know that there has ever been a greater need for acting on this belief than now. In spite of the material abundance enjoyed by many in our country, every day we see signs of worrisome trends — growing income inequality, racial and ethnic divisions, and hopelessness expressed in rising suicide rates, drug abuse, and reduced life expectancy. Even in Greenville County, despite the positive national attention that our successes have attracted, did you know that over half of the students in Greenville County’s public elementary schools qualify for free/reduced price lunch? We should all find that statistic shocking and unacceptable.

Right about now I can hear Bob Morris say-

BY SUE PRIESTER

Chair of Community Foundation of Greenville

ing, “Sue, you’re supposed to be writing an uplifting article about charitable giving in the holiday season. Enough with the downers!”

OK, got it. So here is a short explanation of how personal generosity is healthy both for you and for the community. We humans are social creatures; a lack of social interaction is downright unhealthy. Charity is by nature a social activity that involves us with other human beings. And it’s important to stress here that charity is not just about money. Generosity is also expressed through time spent with others, skills shared and compassion extended. True charity starts with awareness of a problem or a need, leading to exploration of the likely causes and remedies. Next is finding out who else might be addressing the issue, what has been done, and what is still required. And then it’s stepping forward to join with others in charitable efforts.

These actions will take you beyond your own usual life and expose you to what life is like

in someone else’s shoes. Not only will you have contributed to the betterment of your community, but you will also have benefitted from establishing relationships with your fellow human beings in the process. The fabric of society is woven and strengthened by such acts, and you will have just knitted yourself securely within it.

This holiday season and throughout the New Year, please join me in building upon our community’s foundation by sharing your resources — financial, time, and talents — with others not as blessed. Will this solve the problems of the world? No. Will you feel more hopeful just by being involved? Quite possibly. Is it the right thing to do? Definitely.

For more information about how to get involved with the Community Foundation, please contact Bob Morris at 864-233-5925 or at rmorris@cfgreenville.org.

Where Art Connects Heaven & Earth

“This is the highest and the best of what humans can produce.”

-Olevia Brown-Klahn, singer and musician

“Inspired… These beautiful, gifted people are expressing something that’s both pure and good.”

-Philadelphia Weekly

“There is a massive power in this that can embrace the world. It brings great hope... It is

truly a touch of heaven.”

-Daniel Herman, former Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic

“The 8th wonder of the world.

People have no idea what they’re missing until they come here and see the show.”

Discover

The Divine Beauty & Profound Wisdom of a Lost Civilization Shen Yun’s unique artistic vision expands theatrical experience into a multi-dimensional, deeply moving journey through one of humanity’s greatest treasures—the five millennia of traditional Chinese culture.

This epic production immerses you in stories reaching back to the most distant past. You’ll explore realms even beyond our visible world.

Featuring one of the world’s oldest art forms—classical Chinese dance— along with patented scenographical

effects and all-original orchestral works, Shen Yun opens a portal to a glorious civilization of unrivaled beauty, artistry, and inspiration.

We invite you to a realm where philosophers and poets alike sought harmony with the Dao, or “Way,” of the universe. Where maidens danced with heavenly grace and generals fought with explosive athleticism. Where timeless tales of valor and virtue were born.

Where heaven and earth intersected, and even magic was possible.

-Joe Heard, former White House photographer, watched Shen Yun 6 times.

“Everything was larger than life… It’s one of the happiest evenings of my life. All my cares just disappeared, and I became one hundred percent positive thinking. It’s the best I’ve ever seen.”

-Nancy Brock, former actress, associate producer
