Cabana Bar and Grill » Random Connections

The above is a link to a review written by Tom Taylor. It's a Colombian restaurant, Cabana Bar and Grill. Tom was not impressed.

And doesn't change the all in Spanish menu from what I read in the review. In Miami, in Little Havana, even there the menu is in both languages! That will turn off quite a many people right there. Does the word alien-ate come to mind???

Introducing Markley Station at 114 North Markley Street:

Plans for Greenville's West End announced | Greenville News - WYFF Home

It would be nice if there was key retail development in the west end such as a supermarket. Good luck finding space for one.

Blockbuster in Simpsonville's last day was Sunday, so they're officially gone

Noticed that the old Blockbuster at S Pleasantburg/Mauldin Rd appears to be a pawn shop now.

Hey anyone been to Marmalade in Greer yet? Just saw it the other day off West Poinsett. It's in the old house/restaurant building that used to be a nice Italian place.

Interesting. I assume the existing location at Crowne Plaza Greenville (851 Congaree Road) is doing very well for a second Greenville location to be in consideration.

Are you sure it will be a second location and not simply a relocation?
