🌋 Main Street is lava
Thankfully, this is all hypothetical (and very fake). | Rendering by 6AM City
My friend (and 6AM City’s Creative Director) Dalton Anderson posed an interesting question: If you were stuck on one side of Main Street, which side would you want to be on?
Foodies may pick East for access to Scoundrel and Soby’s, but keep in mind Enlō (coming soon) and Jianna are on the other side of the street. Is the Peace Center on your must-have list, and if so, are you willing to part with Fluor Field? Let’s take a closer look.

Number
$9 billion. That’s the total export value of BMW X models produced at Plant Spartanburg in 2025 — leading the US in automotive exports. That’s 200,000 BMWs exported to 120 Countries.
Announced
The People’s Tap announced it is temporarily closed after losing liquor liability insurance required to operate in SC. The owners said their policy renewal no longer met updated state requirements, and they’ve been unable to secure new coverage. Stay tuned for updates.
Traffic
Woodruff Road relief is getting pricier. A planned 2.5-mile parallel parkway meant to ease congestion is now estimated at $277 million, more than double the original $120 million projection. Officials say inflation and rising construction costs are to blame. The project is now expected to finish in 2031. (The Post and Courier Greenville)
Travel
GSP is planning a new air traffic control tower, replacing the airport’s original 1962 tower. The FAA is expected to award a contract in mid-2026, and construction could start this year. The 12-level tower — estimated at $10 million–$40 million — comes as the airport sees record growth and prepares for future expansion. (The Post and Courier Greenville)
Open
