You could soon grab a latte, a lager, and a little friendly competition at Bogey’s Golfgarten.

Proposed for Mills Avenue, Bogey’s would pair morning coffee service with beer and wine in the afternoons, plus a family-friendly mini golf course designed for style over gimmicks — think sculpted greens instead of clown faces. It also features a turf lawn and a biergarten-style clubhouse.

“I think there’s a real gap in the Greenville market,” local developer Parks McLeod tells us. “There just aren’t enough family-friendly activities, and mini golf is perfect because it has no barriers to entry — you can take your five-year-old or your grandma and everyone can enjoy it.”

The project debuted at the City of Greenville’s Project Preview Meeting last month and is teeing up to go before Greenville’s Board of Zoning Appeals soon — we’ll keep you posted.

It’s not often we get to see the Northern Lights from Greenville, but the past two nights, a Geomagnetic Storm showed off the Aurora Borealis.

Even if you couldn’t see it with your eyes, it may have been visible through your phone camera on night mode or with a long exposure.

Did you see the lights? Reply to this email with your photos — we’d love to see them.

The Wrap

I asked you on Instagram if your tree is up, and 39% of you said yes, while the other 61% are holding out for after Thanksgiving.

I don’t judge either way, but I feel like the tree going up in front of M. Judson is a sign that you should be able to put yours up with zero shame.
