News Notes

Weather

Greenville could see some hazardous weather this Sunday, March 16. Prepare for heavy winds and potential heavy rain from around 5 a.m to 12 p.m. Flooding doesn’t seem likely at this time, but the sudden showers could produce an inch of rain. (FOX Carolina)

Announced

The Greenville Zoo unveiled a strategic + master facilities plan during the Greenville City Council meeting earlier this week. The plan includes a few dream exhibits and attractions — like a new entrance pavilion — that could be added in the next five to ten years. (Greenville Journal)

Eat

Paseo — The Commons upcoming Spanish restaurant — opens this month. The menu will feature Spanish-style tapas, seafood skewers, and “regional-style” chicken. Oh, did we mention most items on the menu will be between $3 and $7? (Greenville News)

ICYMI

The lineups for Piedmont Natural Gas Downtown Alive + Greenville Heritage Main Street Fridays just dropped. Enjoy 25 weeks of free, family-friendly fun.

Number

~500. That’s how many trees the City of Greenville has planted in parks + public spaces since Hurricane Helene. The city has also given Greenvillians ~1,500 trees to plant private properties. They don’t call us “Greenville” for nothing.

Plan Ahead

Spring has sprung. Upstate-based nonprofit Homes of Home is hosting its Hope in Full Bloom gala on Friday, April 4 at The 405. The gala is hosted by our friend Ava Braatz from FOX Carolina, and tickets are $150.

Pets

Do you love mutts and struts? If so, consider being a vendor for the Papa John’s Mutt Strut on Saturday, April 26. After the mutts are done strutting, their humans can shop at the vendor fair after the race. Applications are now open.

Family

Ready, set, spring. There’s still time to sign your child up for spring sports at the YMCA of Greenville. Keep them moving with teamwork-focused activities like flag football, T-ball, volleyball, and more. See the full lineup + register.*

Biz
