Pizza is pizza...but damn, there's just so many. I guess it makes sense if you've ever tried to order delivery during gameday or on a weekend night...probably stands to make some good revenue if done right considering how pizza works in a college town.

...but why does it have to be pizza?
Pizza is not pizza! Give me a random slice of pepperoni pizza and I'm 99% sure I could tell you what shop it came from.
I like the way University Ave will be built up along sunnyside. It's going to look very different in a year. Not building Daniel's vertical is a big disappointment and the VFW debacle is rage inducing.

I disagree about Daniel's. High Street is the one street we shouldn't have vertical development beyond 3 stories. The VFW situation is mostly in state government's hands now since they must approve the road access permit. Navigating that morass in Charleston when they want to be obstinate, and they generally want to be obstinate when it concerns our growth, is horrific. It might take court action, but the permit will eventually get issued. The momentum in our city is very strong, and it will overcome obstacles in time and likely our area will end up stronger for it in the long run (and that includes in the political arena as well).

High street could use some multi-building demolitions. I'm all for saving history, but half the buildings on High Street never did look pleasant to the eyes, even in their hayday. High density, multi story mixed use buildings are what young professionals and car-dropping millennials are looking for. Best way to bring in needed young thinkers and entrepenures is to give us what we want... instead of having us leave for DC or Pittsburgh, or beyond. Can't depend on the old guard forever, and lets face it, we don't have the beautiful victorians or art deco facades other cities have... we need to build on something new. If the state won't give us infrastructure then we need to consolidate what we have.

I agree that several buildings on High Street need some major facelifts, but I don't think demolishing blocks of them is the answer. That street has a character all its own in our state, and I believe most want to keep it essentially the way it is now. That might benefit the old guard, that's true, but the unique character of High Street is part and parcel to the character of our city. Putting up a lot of particle board fake front new buildings would ruin that in the long run. Put up the new buildings everywhere else though. I am in full agreement with that.
