Just FYI.. This seems.. Somehow logical, pending on your view of Sonic and Cookout being direct competitors.


They're re-wrapped the building.


Gone is the Lowe's wrap.. Replaced with.. Home Depot wrap.

So.. Two things I noticed in my travels to areas I don't normally go by today..


1) The old Holiday Inn @ I-85 (Later a Quality Inn, I believe) has reopened as a Comfort Inn


I'm shocked by this one to be frank. The images I had seen, I thought the building was too far gone. But.. That is a solid building. The roof collapsed.. So, they had to repair that, then all the water damage. But the bones of that building are solid concrete.. I suppose that's what saved it... i just thought, even though the structure was solid and sound.. The damage inside was just too great.


I *THINK* the restaurant is open as well, but not positive about that.


2) There's a fireworks store apparently right beside the old Mrs Firecrackers Place. Not sure if it was just a pop-up store or something permanent.

I noticed " A Deal Time " is going in next to Camelot Cinemas at McAlister Square. I guess this is one of those Amazon/Mail order returns wholesale type places.

Thought that was a dollar store type place? Isn't there one of those in the Big Lots center down in Simpsonville?

The signs out front said Amazon Returns. Must be more like BinTime in the old Kmart in Mauldin.

Ah, the place in Simpsonville is Deal MART.. That's what I was thinking of.

Can't blame me for automatically assuming another dollar store, tho. It was a safe bet!
