SWEEEEEEEEEEEP. | Video by GVLtoday
Tuesday night, I slid a gripper over my right shoe, a teflon glider below my left, and hit the ice for my first-ever curling experience. The Palmetto Curling Club reports a huge increase in interest during Olympic years, and with the US securing a historic silver medal in mixed doubles, it’s obvious why.
“We’ll find a solution — we are really committed to being good neighbors.” That’s what Bon Secours Wellness Arena General Manager Beth Paul said in response to a public comment at this week’s County Council meeting concerning noise disturbance with a new downtown amphitheater. Council approved $140 million for the arena’s full plans. (Greenville News)
Environment
Brace your nose — Bradford pear season is almost here. Though sales were banned in 2024, existing trees can stay (even if wildlife experts wish they wouldn’t). Trade yours in through the “Bradford Pear Bounty” on March 28 at Conestee Park and score up to five free replacement trees.
Real Estate
Is Hollingsworth Park calling you home? This four-bedroom, 2.5-bath at Verdae has all the curb appeal and features hardwood floors, a chef’s kitchen with a gas range and massive island, a flex room over the garage, and smart home features like a Bose surround system, three-zone air conditioning, and even a central vacuum system.
Coming Soon
Kolapasi will open in the Haywood Mall food court. It’s the second location for the Indian restaurant, which also has a spot near the Fresh Market on Pleasantburg. (Greenville News)
Civic
Greenville County is considering regulations for short-term rentals. A new County Council committee began discussions on Monday, Feb. 16, balancing neighborhood quality of life with property rights. No decisions yet — staff will research options before the group meets again next month. (The Post and Courier Greenville)

Next time you’re visiting The Commons or Unity Park — look up. Crews installed a bat house about 20 ft high at the Reedy River Wetlands Preserve, and three species have already moved in. The elevated roost offers easy access to food and water with minimal disturbance.
Bonus: These nighttime neighbors help protect trees by eating harmful insects — add ‘em to the Public Works payroll.
If you were watching Olympic Zone on WYFF 4 Tuesday night, there’s a chance you saw me curling in the background. Their Executive Producer Jenni Williams caught this behind-the-scenes blooper of one of my throws. French Alps 2030, here I come?
