Though the space may look the same, something new is cooking inside The Commons. Delicious by GB&D, a full-service concept, opens soon.

Sip on 15+ cocktails from the bar and indulge in an elevated form of the burgers and chicken sandos that used to come from this space. But don’t worry, you can still grab GB&D fare out of a booth at The Commons next to Leo’s Pizza, another new concept from the GB&D family.

You can’t go wrong, because everything we tried was great, but our favorite bites were the siano burrata with local strawberries, the steak frites, and the sweet corn congee. For dessert, the lemon tart is a showstopper.
Keep an eye on Instagram for an official opening date in the next few weeks.

Apply fertilizers sparingly, and if you live on a waterway, leave an unmown strip along the streambank. | Photo provided by The Reedy River Water Quality Group
Spring is right around the corner, and with the new season often comes a renewed urge to flex your green thumb.
But improper fertilizer application can be problematic for surrounding waterways — and for you. Accidental exposure, inhalation, or ingestion by a person (or pet) can be harmful to your health and your wallet. And allowing fertilizer to enter a waterway or storm drain raises the levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, which can cause toxic aquatic plant growth that may harm or kill other aquatic life.
Closely follow the instructions, including how much fertilizer you should use and the safety precautions.
Only allow fertilizer to touch areas of the yard that need treatment — never on paved surfaces or near storm drains.
Don’t water immediately after you fertilize, and don’t fertilize if there is a rainstorm in the forecast.
If you have a body of water running along your property, don’t cut back the surrounding vegetation. Already have? It’s best to re-plant the area with native grasses, trees, shrubs, and plants.
A closure along Cleveland Street near Sirrine Stadium is in place now through the end of the month as the City of Greenville replaces 3,000+ linear feet of sewer lines. Leaders say the proactive project will swap out aging infrastructure and prepare for future growth.
