  8/12/2010 9:47:26 AM

  I'm sure you love Thursdays for the same reason I do: it's so close to the weekend you can smell it. For those of you who have a "real" job, it's gonna make it easier to get through that one last day, and for those of you in "the biz," ...

• Passport? Check.

  8/11/2010 1:28:34 PM

  So I've made it pretty obvious that I don't leave downtown very often. But I'm trying to get better about that. Starting tonight, I'll be hosting trivia at The Twisted Lemon on Haywood Road. Granted, it's not Simpsonville or any extravagant day trip, but it is halfway to Woodruff Road. ...

• Is it Football Season Yet?

  8/5/2010 3:25:28 PM

  I've been patiently waiting for 8 months, but good Lord, I'm ready for some football. As an Alabama fan and a Saints fan, I had a pretty great season last year. And I'm sure it won't be as good this year. But that's ok, I'm still ready to watch it. ...

• Time to Laugh It Up

  7/31/2010 11:56:45 AM

  Over the past year or so, stand-up comedy has gotten to be a pretty popular thing around Greenville. And while it's great to see some up-and-comers try out their routines, it's even better when we get a chance to see nationally-touring comedians right here in our backyard. Well, my friends, ...

• Crossroads?

  7/30/2010 5:23:43 PM

  Several weeks ago, Oysters on the West End closed. There's been a lot of rumors and speculation about what the place is going to be and when it's going to open. So here's the real story. Or as much of it as I know.

  The new name is Crossroads, and ...

  7/22/2010 2:34:15 PM

  I've always said, if you're bored in Downtown Greenville, it's your own fault. Because there is definitely plenty going on. Especially tonight. I don't know if it's the heat or if folks are just ready to throw down, but everybody I've talked to is getting into something tonight. No plans ...

• Hot Diggety Dog!

  7/19/2010 2:38:50 PM

  Summer is definitely here, and one of my all-time favorite summertime treats is a good ole hot dog. I used to be cheap about it, and didn't understand why people would actually pay good money to go buy a hot dog somewhere. But now I completely get it. If you've ...

  7/12/2010 6:46:48 PM

  In case you haven't heard, there is a guy named Andrew Shaw who hosts "Name That Tune Trivia" at a few bars around Greenville. The format's fairly straight forward: two rounds of write-it-down style trivia, where he plays a snippet of a song and you name the title and artist, ...

• Smokers Vote, Too

  7/8/2010 10:25:14 AM

  As of July 1, cigarettes went up $0.50 per pack throughout the state of South Carolina. Sigh. I know, I know, we’ve had the lowest cigarette taxes in the country for a while now. And I know, the money’s going into some sort of medical trust fund or whatever. And ...

  Wow...what a long (but great) holiday weekend! Hopefully you caught the fireworks downtown. I don't think I've ever seen that many people in Downtown Greenville on a Sunday night. What an awesome time!

  7/2/2010 2:49:33 PM

  I don't know if it's the heat, or if they're just putting extra crazy in the water lately, but there have been two naked women sightings in downtown Greenville this week. WTF?

  Earlier this week (I think it was Tuesday), officers collected a naked woman who was sitting on the ...

  There's some great live music going down at Smileys tonight. Bobby Lee Rodgers is truly a badass and definitely not to be missed. He's playing solo tonight, and this is a rare chance to see him in a quiet, intimate setting. He's an amazing guitarist and singer and you won't ...

  I'm not a diehard South Carolina fan or anything (Roll Tide!), but I am proud to see the Gamecocks playing for the National Championship in the College World Series. In fact, tonight could be the night they take it all. It should be a great game, so head out somewhere ...
