Perseverance should be the word of the day for Wednesday.

I definitely think an entertainment focus here is key, whether it be a movie theater, Dave & Buster's, House of Blues, etc. Really looking forward to learning more on Wednesday! I wish it were tomorrow instead!

Monday, Greenville Mayor Knox White said the “long journey” is about to end, though he wouldn't elaborate. “I think everyone will be very pleased with what will be announced on Wednesday,” he said.

Only one retail anchor being discussed it looks like. Probably the bookstore. Unnamed at this point. We'll see if there will be more or not.

Does the image in this article look familiar to you guys: Plans For Big Downtown Project Announced - Greenville News Story - WYFF Greenville Post #50 on page 5 of this thread if it doesn't. Better late than never from WYFF I guess.

Hearing this project will include a corporate HQ also. Both retailer and corporation are said to be new to Greenville which would scratch Barnes & Noble off the list. Dave and Busters or Joseph-Beth perhaps?

No, Dave and Busters is so 2002. Seriously, they're dorky and out of style. This is what we need downtown; it's hip, trendy and fun:

Home Lucky Strike: Bowling, Parties, Bar

Wow...that place looks awesome. Definitely wouldn't be disappointed with it over D&B.

Agreed. I'll let out a big yawn if it is Dave & Busters.

I went to the Lucky Strike in Boston last year. It was pretty sweeet.

Something like Lucky Strike would be perfect. So would a movie theater. Entertainment-focused attractions are the next step for our fair city.
