Remember when we told you about 18 new tenants coming to The Commons phase two? We now know some of the local food spots that will be serving in the food hall starting next year.

First reported on by The Post and Courier Greenville, you’ll soon be able to:
Phase two of the food hall and community hub broke ground in April and is expected to be complete by late spring or early summer 2024.

The Parker Group, the developers behind the project, says the 30,000-sqft, two-story expansion will integrate The Commons with Unity Park and the surrounding area.

It won’t stop there. Plans are already in the early stages for phase three of The Commons, and The Parker Group says there will be “so many other exciting things” when we look at The Commons in a decade.

Travel
 
Don’t board an airplane without this item

Goodbye, cheap airline headphones; hello, incredible sound quality | Photo by 6AM City
Picture the place in your house where you store your suitcases. Is there room for a two-by-two inch item weighing 15 grams? If yes, we recommend you buy this item immediately — vacation you of the future will thank you.

Meet the AirFly wireless audio transmitter, AKA your ticket to watching — and actually enjoying — the in-flight movie entertainment on your next trip.

AirFly eliminates the need for wired headphones by plugging into a headphone jack then connecting via Bluetooth to your earbuds or wireless headphones.

Reviewers have mentioned notable sound quality — not to mention, you won’t have to humble yourself before your travel companions and ask for a spare pair of wired headphones (or use the cheap ones the airline passes out).

Bonus: Upgrade to the AirFly Duo to share audio between two pairs of headphones, or get the AirFly Pro for all that plus more audio options.
