TIME FOR AN UPDATE
2008
The last time a master plan was crafted for downtown Greenville. The city wants a new plan to “continue the right blend of redevelopment for Greenville.”

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Greenville’s master plan to be updated; RFPs accepted through Jan. 17
Mayor Knox White said the new plan was prompted by the controversial proposal to build an office building on the banks of the Reedy River steps from the Main Street bridge as well as concerns about scale in the West End.
WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS Greenville’s downtown master plan is getting an update. Crafted 10 years ago, before Greenville’s explosive residential growth in the city’s core and redevelopment of several key sites on and near Main Street, the current master plan identified growth opportunities in five “corners” of downtown: Heritage Green, where the library and museums are located; Gateway District, which includes Interstate 385 and the Bon Secours Wellness Arena; Broad & River; County Square, the county’s headquarters on University Ridge; and the Warehouse District, which includes the West End, the area near the Kroc Center, and Fluor Field. “Rather than dilute the strong identity of Main Street Greenville by extending its length, another approach is to create new districts, each one with a strong identity developed out of its own geography and history,” said a section of Greenville’s 2008 downtown master plan completed by Sasaki Associates Inc. Each of the five “corners” lies at a critical gateway into downtown and “stand[s] to influence many people’s first-time impression of downtown Greenville,” the study said, and each has its unique historic development, urban character, and competitive advantage for new development. The study said Heritage Green has iconic architecture and is a civic anchor to downtown. Greenville County Council is considering proposals to redevelop County Square, which houses county government offices. The study said the Warehouse District has struggled to find an identity, but the plan said with the popularity of Fluor Field and successful infill, it could become a center for startup businesses and entrepreneurs. The Gateway District is the main entry into downtown for most. The current downtown master plan called the Broad & River District the premier redevelopment site in downtown. “While the Greenville News commands the frontage on Main Street today, Broad Street could become a major new address for the area, with strong connections to Butler Avenue on the west. Falls Street provides a north-south route through the district, and its improvement would further open up access to the riverfront,” the study said.
Today, the Greenville News site is undergoing transformative changes. A new office building that houses the News has been built, and a hotel, apartment complex, offices, condos, and a plaza are planned. Nearby, the Grand Bohemian Greenville, a high-end boutique hotel, is planned for the Wyche law firm site. Those developments are signs that the vision for the Broad & River area is coming to fruition, although it is being called, at least informally, the East Gateway District. Mayor Knox White said the new plan was prompted by the controversial proposal to build an office building on the banks of the Reedy River steps from the Main Street bridge as well as concerns about scale in the West End. The city wants the new plan, which will be compiled with public input throughout 2018, to “continue the right blend of redevelopment for Greenville.” The city is accepting proposals through Jan. 17. According to the requests for proposal, the new plan will determine appropriate height and density for downtown; identify strategic places where height is appropriate; evaluate the existing downtown boundary for possible expansion; consider pedestrian connectivity downtown and how better connections can be made across streets; identify opportunities for large, mixed-use developments; and analyze the adequacy of public, open green spaces and make recommendations for future locations. In addition, the consultant chosen will evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to downtown Greenville. The plan will include a proposal for the appropriate and sustainable mix of office, retail, residential, hospitality, events, and other uses; determine the right mix of local and national retailers; identify a strategy to ensure local retailers remain downtown; and identify market gaps. Because the tax increment financing the city had used for projects downtown has dried up, the consultant will be asked to recommend new ideas and programs to help the city prioritize investments and to encourage appropriate and desirable private developments.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Greenville rental rates see small decline as number of apartments increases WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM
As more apartments are going up in Greenville, rents are going down — at least for now. Greenville rents declined 1 percent in November, the fifth straight month that the city has seen a decrease, according to Apartment List’s National Rent Report. Rent in Greenville is down a modest 1.1 percent compared with a year ago. South Carolina saw a 2.3 percent increase in year-over-year rent growth. Nationally, rent increased 2.7 percent. “Greenville is following a more extreme version of the national seasonal trends — with rent growth in the spring and rent decreases in the fall,” said Sydney Bennet, senior research associate at Apartment List. “The new supply of apartments is likely driving the decrease in rent prices, a trend seen in many national markets as well.” Greenville ranked as the fourth-fastest-growing city in the country in a U.S. Census Bureau report, growing by 5.8 percent in 2016. And the city’s number of apartments has been growing faster than the population. According to Real Data, there are 1,993 units under construction and 3,093 units proposed in the overall Greenville area, with developers most active in the downtown submarket. High demand over the past six months brought the Greenville-Spartanburg area’s apartment occupancy rate to 92.1 percent, the December Real Data report said. Real Data said the occupancy rate would likely remain unchanged in 2018 as demand comes in-line with supply growth. It also expects rental rates to increase 1 percent to 2 percent over the next year. “New construction causing rent decreases doesn’t necessarily mean apartments are overbuilt,” Bennet said. “It could just be a market correction for pentup demand and rent increase in previous years.” Greenville rent prices are up 12.8 percent since the start of 2014, she added. Greenville has seen a 5.7 percent increase in its share of high-income renters, defined as those earning more than $100,000 per year, and a 5.1 percent decrease in its share of low-income renters. “The increase in high-income renters and decrease in low-income renters can indicate gentrification, especially in pricey areas, but gentrification isn’t the only cause,” Bennet said. “One major reason for the increase in high-income renters is the tight market for starter homes and falling homeownership rate. Wealthier renters may still find homeownership out of reach, thus remaining in the rental market longer.”

Clemson to use football to treat effects of dementia Researchers at Clemson University are using football to combat symptoms brought on by dementia. Students and faculty at Clemson are testing a therapy program that relies on reminiscence and uses memories associated with Clemson football over the years to address some of the effects of dementia. The program uses football history, footage, and physical memorabilia to create a multisensory experience to intervene with memory decline. The program was implemented by a research team from Clemson’s parks, recreation, and tourism management department. The team recently concluded its work at Brookdale Senior Living Solutions in Central, where nearly 80 percent of residents have dementia or Alzheimer’s. They tested the program on several of the facility’s residents. The use of football memories and memorabilia was something different for residents, who were eager to participate

in the program. They discussed memories of tailgates, football games, Clemson football traditions, and even wore all orange. The researchers found that the participants were more inclined to discuss their own memories of social experiences surrounding Clemson football, rather than the actual games. The program was embraced by many Brookdale residents. Some delayed lunch or physical therapy sessions so that they could participate, said Taylor Yeomans, resident program coordinator at Brookdale. Yeomans observed the effects of the program throughout the six sessions. One resident who has difficulty speaking due to cognitive issues was able to put together thoughts and tell stories that all participants could understand, she said. Gregory Ramshaw, an associate professor in the Clemson parks, recreation, and tourism management program, who is credited with the original idea for the project, hopes the team of researchers can ultimately introduce the program to other areas of the country after assessing the data and making adjustments to protocols. The team looks forward to finding how sports can continue to be integrated into reminiscence therapy for those with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other forms of mental decline. —Sara Pearce

McMaster declares opioid crisis public health emergency
Gov. Henry McMaster has declared a statewide public health emergency to address South Carolina’s growing opioid addiction and overdose crisis. “According to the statistics, there’s a silent hurricane going on in our state that hits us, and it’s getting worse,” McMaster said during a recent press conference. “It hits us every year, and it’s called the opioid crisis.” As part of the declaration, McMaster has ordered the establishment of an Opioid Emergency Response Team, which consists of federal and state law enforcement agencies, state health regulatory agencies, and health care treatment providers. The team will be led by State Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel and Sara Golsby, director of the Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services. It will meet monthly “to assess outcomes and evaluate new information,” according to McMaster. McMaster said the team is loosely based on Operation Jackpot, a federal task force that convicted more than 100 cannabis smugglers in South Carolina during the 1980s. “We believe this is the way to conquer this crisis. In fact, it’s the only way,” he said. Since 2011, more than 3,000 South Carolinians have died from prescription opioid overdoses, according to the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control. Over the past three years, opioid-related deaths have “outpaced” homicides and drunk-driving deaths by nearly double, according to McMaster. In 2016, for instance, there were 366 homicide-related deaths and 331 drunk-driving-related deaths; there were 616 opioid overdose deaths the same year. Greenville County is at the epicenter
of the state’s ongoing opioid problem. In 2015, about 70 people died from opioid overdoses. The year before, 65 people died from opioid overdoses, according to the Greenville County Coroner’s Office. Dr. Shaniece Criss, an assistant professor of health science at Furman University, told the Greenville Journal that the region’s opioid crisis has likely been fueled by the sudden emergence of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that’s 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. In recent years, illegal manufacturing of fentanyl has skyrocketed and led to an alarming increase in overdose deaths. In Greenville County, there were 33 fentanyl-related deaths in 2015, the last year data is available. That’s more than five times the number of fentanyl-related deaths in 2013, according to Greenville County Deputy Coroner Jeff Fowler. McMaster has also issued an executive order for the S.C. Department of Health and Human Services to limit opioid prescriptions for acute and postoperation pain to a maximum of five days for Medicaid recipients. South Carolina ranks in the highest quartile for opioid prescriptions per person and has seen prescriptions increase each year, according to S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson. In 2016, for instance, nearly 5 million opioid prescriptions were issued. But the limitations won’t take effect immediately. Medicaid has until March 1, 2018, to develop and publicize details about the policy, which must allow exceptions for patients who take opioids for chronic pain associated with cancer and other serious illnesses. McMaster has also called on the Legislature to pass legislation making the five-day limitation a statewide law for all opioid prescriptions. —Andrew Moore

Clemson makes Kiplinger’s Best College Values of 2018 list Clemson University has once again been named to Kiplinger’s Personal Finance list of 300 Best College Values of 2018. Clemson is ranked 31st best value for in-state students at a public university and 35th for out-of-state students. The list includes four-year institutions that deliver a high-quality education for a reasonable, affordable price. Kiplinger’s quality measures are weighted more heavily than cost criteria, but both are considered in the rankings. The quality measures include admission rate, percentage of students who return for their sophomore year, student-tofaculty ratio, and four-year graduation rate. The cost criteria include sticker price, financial aid, and average debt at graduation. Kiplinger’s analysis is restricted to only measurable standards of academic quality and affordability to avoid subjective
opinions affecting the rankings. “Students are looking for a quality education that’s affordable, that offers a complete student experience, and that will help them achieve their goals. These describe Clemson University very well and are among traits that Kiplinger’s uses to choose the Best Value Colleges. We’re proud to be among them, and we are proud of our students,” said David Kuskowski, Clemson’s director of undergraduate admissions. The full rankings are available at kiplinger.com/links/colleges. —Sara Pearce

Conservation group purchases 955 acres for Jones Gap State Park expansion
WORDS BY ANDREW MOORE Since opening nearly 30 years ago, Jones Gap State Park in northern Greenville County has become one of South Carolina’s premier sites for hiking, camping, fishing, and birding. But the park continues to experience capacity issues and has to close when its 36 parking spaces are full, which happens frequently during warmer months. Luckily, the park’s capacity is about to get a much-needed boost. The Nature Conservancy has secured the purchase of a 955-acre property within the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area, a 40,000-acre wilderness preserve situated along Highway 25 between Jones Gap and Caesars Head state parks. The Virginia-based environmental nonprofit plans to transfer the property, known as Gap Creek, to the state parks system sometime in 2018. The addition will increase the overall size of Jones Gap State Park by about 25 percent, according to a news release. “Gap Creek is a dual gift for Upstate residents and visitors,” said state parks director Phil Gaines. “Its 955 acres include flat land that is ideal for more parking, facilities, trailheads, and other visitor amenities.” The property, which was previously under private ownership, is the last large piece of unprotected land in the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area, which was envisioned more than 30 years ago by late Greenville attorney and conservation champion Tommy Wyche. In 1973, Wyche created Naturaland Trust, an environmental nonprofit, and set out to establish a “bridge” of protected lands between the Table Rock Watershed in Pickens County and North Saluda Watershed in Greenville County, according to Kristen Austin, Southern Blue Ridge program director for The Nature Conservancy of South Carolina. Naturaland Trust has since worked with various government agencies, nonprofits, private foundations, and local

landowners to secure conservation easements and acquire undeveloped properties across the mountain escarpment. Austin said Gap Creek has been one of the area’s most sought-after properties because of its size, location, and unique natural features. “The previous owners were excellent stewards who took care of the land, so we’re inheriting a healthy habitat that hasn’t been disturbed by adverse logging for at least 50 years,” she said. “It’s been kept for wildlife.” Gap Creek harbors a large hardwood forest system that is home to various animals and plants, according to Austin. Rare and iconic species found on the land include Rafinesque’s big-eared bat, black bear, turkey, white-tailed deer, and a newly discovered species of the trillium plant, currently known as Jones Gap trillium. The property also includes a series of headwater streams that support cold-water fish, green salamanders, and frogs. The streams flow into Saluda Lake, which supplies drinking water to Easley in Pickens County. “It’s rare to be part of a project of this size and impact,” said Mark Robertson, executive director for The Nature Conservancy of South Carolina. “We’re thankful to our supporters who made this possible and to the previous landowners.”
The Nature Conservancy has a loan for the $3.7 million property and is continuing to raise funds for the remaining $500,000 it needs to complete the purchase. The purchase of Gap Creek has been supported by the South Carolina Conservation Bank, Duke Energy Water Resources Fund, The Graham Foundation, Mr. and Mrs. Gary L. Aten, Campbell Young Leaders, Lillian C. Darby, Mr. and Mrs. John A. Dreher, Mr. and Mrs. Paul W. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. John F. Klein, Dr. Jack R. Postle, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Rao, Wade H. Sherard III, Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Stanback, Mr. and Mrs. James W. Stuttle, Mr. and Mrs. Richard O. Webb, and an anonymous donor. Pledges to the project also include the Open Space Institute and the Wyche family. “We need to act now to ensure that our kids and grandkids can enjoy the benefits of natural habitat and wildlife that we now enjoy,” said Kodwo Ghartey-Tagoe, state president of Duke Energy in South Carolina. “Conservation of the Gap Creek property is a huge win for the community, and we are grateful to The Nature Conservancy and the many other partners that came together to make this happen.” The Nature Conservancy previously added 300 acres to Jones Gap State Park in 2012, following a three-year private fundraising effort that was supported by more than 400 citizens, according to a news release. Austin said a committee would vote sometime this year on whether to approve the transfer of Gap Creek into the state parks system. If approved, the property would include open access for hiking, camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Park visitors would also be allowed to hunt black bear, wild turkey, and other game during the proper regulation season thanks to a “wildlife management agreement” with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, according to Austin.

‘FOR THE PAGE AND THE STAGE’ Glenis Redmond’s journey from clinical counseling to writing, performing, and teaching poetry
WORDS BY VINCENT HARRIS PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS
lenis Redmond was in fifth grade the first time she heard “1,968 Winters,” a poem by Jackie Earley. At first, it simply struck her as funny; a poem about a black woman in the age of the civil rights battle waking up feeling “good and black,” thinking black thoughts, putting on her best black clothes and walking outside, only to find a flurry of white snow. But as Redmond thought more about what she’d heard, it sparked something inside her. “At school, I was into recess and candy and a tomboy to boot,” Redmond says with a laugh. “But when I heard this poem, there was something inside me that knew that it wasn’t really a funny poem, even if I couldn’t articulate it at the time. I just woke up.” Part of her awakening came from the fact that, for the first time, a literary work had made room for her in its worldview. “There was something about that poem that felt like it included a piece of me,” she says. “There wasn’t a lot of literature that had the mirror quality, where I could see myself. It was the first piece of literature that flashed the mirror in front of me and said, ‘You belong in this world.’” That moment is reflected in much of Redmond’s subsequent work as a poet, which often mixes topics like race, gender, and being raised in the South into a unique-but-universal worldview. In “Bruised,” she writes about some boys mocking a darker friend on the street: “They banter back and forth like boys do / ‘You charcoal, son. You so black you purple’ / I tell them, ‘hol’up’ in defense of my mahogany skin / and the boy they’re putting down. I say, / ‘You know what they say?’ / In cue as if we rehearsed it, we both chime, ‘The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice.’” Elsewhere, in “Mama’s Magic,” she writes of her impoverished Southern upbringing, and her mother instilling a sense of pride in her: “My mama never whispered the shame of poverty in our ears / She taught us to dance to our own shadows / ‘Pay no attention to those grand parties / on the other side of the tracks / Make your own music,’ she’d say.” “I think when she won the Pulitzer, someone asked the great Toni Morrison, ‘Why do you write the way you write?’” Redmond says. “And she said, ‘I write what I would like to read.’ So I looked at my family, at where I came from, and I started mining that territory, not just as an African-American woman, but as a woman who came from the South, as someone who came from poverty. Those were all these mirrors that I was interested in looking at.” That material has won Redmond, who’s lived all over the country but now resides in the Upstate, a multitude of awards and grants, from the N.C. Literary Arts Fellowship to the Denny C. Plattner Award for Outstanding Poetry. Her work has been published in “Meridians,” “African Voices,” “Emrys,”

“Asheville Poetry Review,” “Kakalak: Anthology of Carolina Poetry,” “Appalachian Heritage,” and the “Appalachian Journal.” She was also voted poet of the year in the Asheville, N.C., weekly Mountain Xpress every year for more than a decade, and she’s performed her poems everywhere from New York to California to the Peace Center, where she’s currently the poet-in-residence. What’s perhaps most interesting about Redmond’s acclaimed career is that she didn’t move in a straight line from hearing that Jackie Earley poem into writing her own work. She spent years as a clinical counselor in Virginia after getting her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Erskine College. But a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, which her job stress exacerbated, made her consider a career change. “The doctor told me that I needed to find a job that I didn’t take home every day,” she says. “He said, ‘If nothing changes, you’re not going to die, but you’re sure going to wish you had.’” It wasn’t an easy decision, particularly since at the time of her diagnosis, Redmond was pregnant with twin daughters. The doctor simply looked at her and said, “You’re a smart woman; you’ll figure it out.” “But as everything was crumbling around me, it was being built up because I remembered my creativity,” Redmond says. “In my last counseling sessions with my clients, I was doing creative projects with them for their work on their own personal growth and reflection. I worked poetry and drawing into the sessions.” The decision was made, and Redmond embarked on a two-decade-plus career of writing, performing, and teaching poetry. But she worked some of what she did as a counselor into her poetry workshops, one of which she conducts at the Peace Center as part of the Peace Voices program. “I didn’t think about it til many years after, but if you’re in a writing workshop with me, it’s very therapeutic,” Redmond says. “It’s not therapy, but it’s therapeutic, because I’m getting people to remember. I even have people sit in a circle, just like I did in group therapy. I

wasn’t doing that intentionally, but I don’t like the idea of a hierarchy. It’s a circle, because the work we’re doing takes all of us.” In her workshops, Redmond guides her students through their own past experiences and uses poetry as a prism for understanding what they’ve been through. “I ask my students what the opposite of remember is, and they say it’s to forget,” she says. “But I tell them it’s actually dismemberment. When we remember something, we’re putting something back together. It doesn’t matter what race or what walk of life you come from, there’s some fracturing that’s happened as you grow up. And poetry, to me, is a healing tool because it allows us to put something back together.” Redmond is riveting when she reads her poems live, giving her whole body to the performance. It resembles what performers do on the poetry slam circuit, but she
“ I think when she won the Pulitzer, someone asked the great Toni Morrison, ‘Why do you write the way you write?’ And she said, ‘I write what I would like to read.’ So I looked at my family, at where I came from, and I started mining that territory, not just as an AfricanAmerican woman, but as a woman who came from the South, as someone who came from poverty. Those were all these mirrors that I was interested in looking at.”
says she’s always delivered her work that way, and her influences go much further back than slam poets. “The black preachers I grew up with were the first poets I ever heard,” she says. “Their cadence, their full-body delivery, it became part of me from all those Sundays and Wednesdays that I had the black preacher rhythm in me.” Or maybe that passion was just there from the beginning. “I think it’s inherent in who I am,” she says. “I was who I was before I even saw a poetry slam. I’ve always been high-energy, and I’ve always been intense. So when poetry became my art form of choice, I was going to embody it with my full self, not just for the page but for the stage. It’s just another place where poetry lives. I like poetry that you sit and quietly read, but mine is made for the page and the stage. I didn’t ever think about it any other way.” Redmond will share some of that onstage spotlight with other poets when she hosts “Palmetto Poets: Speaking of the South” at the Peace Center’s Huguenot Loft on Jan. 18. The event will feature three poets with South Carolina roots: Ray McManus, an associate professor of English at the University of South Carolina Sumter; Ed Madden, who is the poet laureate of Columbia and teaches at the University of South Carolina; and Délana Dameron, an S.C. poet who lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., and whose debut collection of poems, “How God Ends Us,” was selected for the 2008 South Carolina Poetry Book Prize. “They’ll take the stage together and sort of do pingpong poetry back and forth,” Redmond says, “and then they’ll each do their own 15-minute set. I tell them not to come with a structured set, because I want them to listen to each other as they read and then respond to each other poetically. We’ll be following each other like jazz music. And then the culminating part of the evening is that we open up to the audience and do a robust talkback about their processes. I’m really excited about that dialogue.”

PAYING HOMAGE SondorBlue’s latest release inspired by ‘warm, vintage sounds’ of ’60s and ’70s pop-rock giants VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR
vharris@communityjournals.com
The latest release by the Charleston quartet SondorBlue, called “You Will Find Love on Ashley Avenue,” is a fivetrack EP. But there’s so much skill, melody, craft, and polish squeezed into those five songs that they seem ready to burst out of the speakers. The layered vocal harmonies, particularly on the opening track, “Ashley Ave.,” are simultaneously tight and airy; the guitars ripple and flow like the sun sparkling off a lake, and the rhythm section has a classic low-end thud that educated listeners will immediately associate with the late-period work of The Beatles. In fact, the whole EP resembles the crisply produced, immaculate pop-rock of 1960s and ’70s titans like The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, and Crosby, Stills & Nash, bands who were able to set up camp in the highest-quality recording studios and work until they’d perfected their songs. And that similarity is entirely intentional. “We’d been listening to a ton of those classic albums, like The Beatles’ ‘Abbey Road,’ and especially Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours,’” drummer Drew Lewis says. “It’s such an amazing record, and all the drum sounds and tones just sound so great. Those inspired us so much that that was our goal for the EP. We wanted it to be a reference to those warm, vintage sounds of that era.”
The difference is that unlike those wellfunded classic rockers, SondorBlue had about a week to get their EP done, working at Fairweather Studios in Charleston with producer Omar Colon. So how did they do it? Lots of preparation. “I would say a lot of us being able to accomplish what we wanted was the preproduction work we did,” Lewis says. “I’d say we spent a month rehearsing and getting everything set the way we wanted it, so that we’d be able to knock out the recording in about a week. We went in ready to go, recorded them, and moved on quickly.” But regardless of their intense preparation, there was still a lot of pressure involved in the recording. “We did a lot of live recording, so there would be multiple instruments being played at the same time and bleeding into the mics in the room,” Lewis says. “We had to get the take right and not exhaust it and lose the magic. There was a lot of pressure to just get in there and get it done in two or three takes.” Lewis says the band picked Omar Colon to produce the record specifically because he shared the same aesthetic they did. “We definitely needed someone who could help us find all the tones we were looking for in the preproduction phase, and Omar was the perfect person for that,” he says. “He loves all those records like we do, and he had a bunch of instru-
Photo by Right Angle PR
ments and amps we needed. So he was the obvious choice for us.” And Colon had a secret weapon on hand to help the band even more. “He had this big book called ‘Recording The Beatles,’ which has all the different details of what they used, from amps to drums and cymbals,” Lewis says. “It was the perfect source for that EP.” There was another unexpected advantage to the band’s meticulous preparation: By the time the EP was finished, they knew exactly how they wanted the songs to sound live. “We’ve actually changed a lot of the arrangements to embellish them, but those original versions are where it started,” Lewis says. “We made sure the songs flowed well from one to another in a setlist. By working them out in the studio, we really started developing what the live show would sound like so we could go to any venue and have a show prepared that just kills it.”
Ultimately, the goal for SondorBlue, who will play at the Radio Room on Jan. 11, was to record a collection of songs they were proud of, and Lewis says they’ve done just that. “It’s really different from our first EP, which was fun to create, but we didn’t know too much about what we were doing going into it,” he says. “This one was a lot more planned out. We were really looking forward to releasing it because it’s the kind of music that we wanted to be known for.”

A RESTAURANT WISH LIST 6 types of cuisine we’d like to see in Greenville WORDS BY RUSSELL SANFORD
Greenville often boasts about how many restaurants are within a mile of its downtown business district and even the number of places that aren’t downtown. But despite the surplus of restaurants, there are still some holes that could be filled. While not all of these would succeed in Greenville right now given the current trends in our local restaurant and food scene, it would be great to see them eventually become a part of it.
Dim Sum Dim sum is a style of Chinese cuisine where small items such as dumplings, steamed buns, rice, and noodle rolls are eaten as a meal much like Spanish tapas. While many Asian restaurants in Greenville allow you to create an ersatz dim sum experience, no restaurant has dim sum as its singular focus. The variety found in dim sum is staggering, and having a place that provides a completely different experience each time you go would help broaden the horizons of Greenville’s dining.
Hot Chicken Nashville, Tenn., has been producing hot chicken for years, but only recently has it become a national obsession. People wait hours in line at Howlin’ Ray’s in Los Angeles, and in Columbus, Ohio, Hot Chicken Takeover regularly sells out of chicken before the restaurant closes. The closest true hot-chicken restaurant is Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack in Asheville, N.C. There are many places in Greenville that serve hot chicken as a special, a sandwich, or a single menu item, but none compares to the chicken you get from a place where it is the specialty.
Multicourse Prix Fixe Fine Dining
Chicago-Style Deep-Dish Pizza There’s plenty of gourmet and New York-style pizza in Greenville, but Chicago deep-dish is severely lacking. Some do not consider this real pizza, but it is delicious nonetheless. The thick, buttery crust with layers of meat and cheese topped with sauce could be wonderful with locally made sausage or potentially a Southern twist featuring pulled pork.
A Different Regional Style of Barbecue Charleston has received many accolades over the past few years for its diverse barbecue offerings. Lewis Barbecue serves up Texas-style barbecue; Rodney Scott’s BBQ keeps the Lowcountry’s whole-hog style alive and well; and Home Team is all over the map with chicken, brisket, and daily specials that make your mouth water. While the Upstate barbecue tradition is on solid footing, it might be time to bring in another regional style and shake things up a bit.
COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM
Many restaurants in Greenville are expensive special-occasion places, but none offers a chef-driven, tasting-menu-only experience — something in the vein of McCrady’s in Charleston or Bacchanalia in Atlanta. At these establishments, you have little choice in the food you receive — the menu changes with the seasons and the chef’s taste — but there are courses that surprise you and make you smile. Plus, the service is impeccable. Greenville needs a restaurant that offers a three-hour dining experience and not just a meal.
Unique Sandwich Shop Sandwiches don’t seem that exciting, but they can be. Take a look at New Orleans’ Turkey and the Wolf or Charleston’s Tattooed Moose. While many sandwich shops exist in Greenville with good-to-great offerings, none serves a different spin on sandwiches with the unique ambience to boot. Greenville needs a shop that uses local meats, makes as many toppings in-house as possible, creates interesting combinations of flavors and textures, offers enticing daily or weekly specials, and has at least one signature sandwich you can’t find anywhere else in town. And last but not least: It needs to stay open past 3 p.m.

Once upon a time, Atlanta singer-songwriter Aspen Anonda was a 9-year-old girl with her first guitar who loved Taylor Swift, and she had every intention of becoming a country singer. Even her father thought that’s what she should do. But while she was taking guitar lessons, she discovered jazz, and that was a game-changer. “Every song I wrote started to have a sort of jazzy tone to it,” she says. “It definitely worked its way into my writing.” The result of that writing is a new EP called “Inner Workings Of My Soul,”https://soundcloud.com/aspenanonda/sets/inner-workings-of-my-soul which fits Anonda’s playful, unpredictable song structures and verse-stretching vocals into an electronic pop setting. It’s a striking combination of styles, and it’s also an aesthetic that she can’t currently recreate onstage. “I haven’t put together a full band yet,” she says, “But I love playing acoustic, stripped-down versions of the songs, and that’s what I get to do right now. That’s how these songs were written, before they got built up in production. I think that it’s cool for people to hear the original versions.” —Vincent Harris

Bad Weather States are a relatively new band, but they deliver their sound, a mix of heavy-guitar rock and just the right amount of country twang, with the confidence of seasoned professionals. The main reason behind that assured, polished performance style is that the quintet’s hometown of Greenwood has spent the last decade developing one of the best music scenes in the state. “There’s a lot going on every week,” says the band’s bassist, Austin Landers. “There are a lot of bands doing their own music; there are a lot of cover bands; and there are a lot of bars and restaurants that support it. Our local radio station has gotten behind it and the local https://soundcloud.com/brandon-smith-972054246 paper has, too, and that helps musicians get out there and play their stuff.” With an increased level of competition, Bad Weather States was forced to get good quickly. “It makes you keep learning and find stuff that you’re good at,” Landers says. —Vincent Harris CONCERT

Greenville Center for Creative Arts 25 Draper St. 10 a.m.-4 p.m. | $225 Study the naturalistic and impressionistic techniques of painting first taught in turn-of-the-century European studio schools and later brought to America by a select group of gifted painters known as ‘the Boston School’ or American impressionists. The techniques imparted are broad, direct, brilliant in color, and immediate. This is the way of working espoused by John Singer Sargent, Edmund Tarbell, etc. and preserved and disseminated by R.H. Ives Gammell and his many students. Students will learn about these methods and philosophies as applied to portrait painting working from the live model. Teaching will proceed through demonstration, discussion, and one-on-one critiques. Emphasis will be given to composition, doing a simple start, value unity, color relationships, and an overview of American impressionism- with examples of its practitio-
ners. This workshop will focus on oil painting techniques, but acrylic painting or mass drawing in charcoal can be accommodated. All skill levels are welcome. 864-735-3948 ext. 2 www.artcentergreenville.org liz@artcentergreenville.org MOVIE SCREENING
