The Democratic grass-roots movement is strong in Greenville By Jalen Elrod

If there is anyone who ever doubted whether the grass-roots movement that emerged after Donald J. Trump ascended to the presidency had the power to bring about meaningful change, election night 2017 in Greenville was your answer. On that night of Democratic victories, Lillian Brock Flemming was reelected to the District 2 seat on Greenville City Council and Russell Stall won the at-large seat. Everyone in Greenville has seen the good work the Democratic grass roots has been doing. They’re the people who have held rallies downtown in support of the DREAMers who are now under threat from this administration. They’re the women who marched in Greenville and in Washington the day after Trump’s inauguration to protest the misogyny now embodied in the presidency. They’re the protesters who gather on Main Street every Tuesday demanding change from our leaders. All are keenly aware that America is in the midst of a struggle for its very ideals and values. More importantly, they realize that refusing to get involved is no longer an option. That same sense of urgency applied to Greenville as the campaigns for Greenville City Council started. Just as Republicans had just won nationally last November, two Republicans began campaigning in Greenville soon after. John DeWorken was running for the at-large seat on Greenville City Council, and Matt Cotner sought the District 2 seat. Both are good men. But ultimately, the candidacies of both embodied the ﬂaws our city has not yet overcome.

DeWorken is a business lobbyist with the business sector contributing much to his campaign. Cotner’s candidacy was only viable due to the gentrification of traditional African-American neighborhoods in Greenville and redistricting that benefited the aﬄuent. While both men certainly care about this city, if elected they stood to diminish the much-needed diversity of City Council and give the business and development community greater inﬂuence in a city where they already have outsized power, often at the expense of the impoverished in Greenville, a group too many ignore. Given the challenges we face as a city, they were not what Greenville needed. The challenge posed by the GOP in Greenville was great, just as it had been in the past. It couldn’t be done alone. Throughout this campaign, I met with and listened to those in our community who protested and rallied in the aftermath of Trump. Just as they were passionate about the issues affecting us nationally, they had a passion for the issues we faced in this city. Most of all, they felt the urgency of those who had been left behind during the Greenville Renaissance and the imperative to give a voice to the voiceless. So together we began to join the effort to reelect Lillian Brock Flemming and elect Russell Stall. I was in awe as I saw Greenvillians from all walks of life answer the call and volunteer their time and energy to make our city better. Day after day, members of the grass roots made calls asking the people of our city to vote. They walked through the streets of Greenville knocking on doors to bring change through the ballot box. They showed us that it isn’t signs that win campaigns – it is people willing to go out and fight for what they believe in. The fact that Russell Stall and Lillian Brock Flemming won on Election Day is a victory for and a testament to the people in our own community who refuse to accept the world as it is, but who choose to go forth to remake the world as it should be. We must also remember this is just the first step in a long journey. We cannot let this victory make us complacent. We must work harder than ever now that we’ve glimpsed our capacity to make Greenville the community we know it can be. The task before us is daunting. Now that the election is over, we must rally not only in the streets but also at City Council and County Council on behalf of the impoverished and the disenfranchised in Greenville. We must demand robust action to end the ravages of gentrification and increase public transportation. There is still much work to be done. Because of the passion and hope I saw from the people who gave their time to this campaign, I am more inspired than ever. I believe as hard as it might be, the change Greenville needs will come. Our capacity to make this community better is limitless. Jalen Elrod is the president of the Greenville Young Democrats.

Cancer Survivors Park will inspire generations to come By Maurie Lawrence

It will be years before the value of the Cancer Survivors Park is understood. Yet, I can already glimpse its significance. Years ago, my daughter, at 4 months old, was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of leukemia. I have always appreciated time spent outdoors, but I learned that it is especially valuable when everything else seems to be caving in. Research proves that both physical and emotional health improves and that even the healing process increases with time spent outdoors. There is plenty of evidence showing how the outdoors impacts the way we live and feel, and that investing in public, outdoors spaces creates healthier communities. We have already witnessed the positive results of investing in parks such as Falls Park. Visionaries saw how a once dirty and hidden Reedy River could be a gem. After the investment of over $13 million in the now-iconic Liberty Bridge and the areas around it, both local residents and visitors now benefit from the experience of our award-winning Falls Park. The benefits go beyond enjoyment. Over the past 15 years, the investment in the bridge and park spurred additional economic development, including RiverPlace and the widely used Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail. We will soon be able to add another iconic symbol to the list of things that make Greenville great – the Cancer Survivors Park. Cancer Survivors Park is an extraordinarily unique park; its scale and depth are not available anywhere else. This park has rejuvenated the overgrown, largely inaccessible, 6.8-acre site connecting Falls Park to Cleveland Park. Calling the area Cancer Survivors Park is a tremendous responsibility, as it seeks to capture a journey that nearly escapes words but encompasses the vast span of human emotions. It needs to be a space that acknowledges the dark moments of the journey yet also provides the inspiration necessary for hope and healing. We will all benefit from what the visionaries behind the park have created – a beautiful place that will live up to these unique obligations.

It has been exciting to watch the park unfold. Recent months already have brought the dedication of the Children’s Garden, the boardwalk, the new Spirit Bridge, and the butterﬂy art sculpture “Transformation.” If you have not experienced the view from the Leap of Faith area on the boardwalk, or seen children climbing the “Fear Not” lion, or viewed the river from the new bridge, I encourage you to visit. Once completed in 2018, the park will offer many more experiences, such as a Healing Garden, a Celebration Plaza, and an amphitheater. The Survivorship Education Center will host a variety of community programs designed to help anyone learn to live with cancer or any life-altering illness or loss. The Cancer Survivors Park Alliance recently reached their initial goal of raising $7.5 million, and they have launched a thoughtful plan for raising an additional $2 million to complete the park. It is up to us to continue to invest in such community-enhancing projects as we did for the Peace Center improvements and the Children’s Museum of the Upstate. We are involved in the process of ensuring an effective, affordable housing strategy. These public-private projects are a hallmark of the Upstate. Like many of these projects, Cancer Survivors Park will be a source of pride as well as a catalyst for economic development. In addition to offering hope and healing, the project symbolizes attributes that make Greenville unique: private-public partnerships, strong philanthropy, the courage to tackle visionary projects, and a compassion for and commitment to advancing our quality of life. The Cancer Survivors Park will be a shining symbol of hope and transformation, now and for generations to come. Maurie Lawrence is a volunteer, contributor, and beneﬁciary of the Cancer Survivors Park. She is also a lecturer in Clemson University’s Master in Real Estate Development program. For more information on Cancer Survivors Park, please visit the park or call 864-255-5010.

WALK THE WALK

Greenville City Council’s newest member, Russell Stall, talks about the road ahead WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM Russell Stall has had a hand in changing Greenville for more than two decades. From heading Greenville Forward, a nonprofit he founded to facilitate and shepherd Vision 2025, to facilitating programs for Leadership Greenville and serving as Rotary Club president, the 58-year-old Greenville High graduate has worked to improve his hometown. Beginning on Dec. 11, Stall will be working to improve Greenville from a different angle — as a City Council member. The Greenville Journal caught up with Stall after he won one of two at-large seats on Council to talk about what’s ahead.

How did the relationships you have built in Greenville help you win the seat, and how will you use those relationships to get things done on City Council? With every door of the 4,000 I knocked on during the campaign, I realized how important building trusting relationships are in creating Greenville’s future. Every day I knocked on doors, I would meet an old high school teacher or classmate, a past youth group advisor, an old family friend, or someone I had not reconnected with in decades. Walking also gave me the chance to connect with new people who did not know me, and hear their concerns and ideas. There is no better way to learn Greenville than on the ground… street-by-street and door-by-door. I am privileged to be mentored by an inspiring group of old-school public servants – Max Heller, Dick Riley, and Nick Theodore – who share the belief that everyone is important, and everyone’s opinion and voice is valued. I hope I will continue this legacy. On election night, the message I talked about was probably unexpected. My message was the importance of personal relationships in the campaign and in our future. Greenvillians must feel that our elected officials are accessible and listen to their concerns. Additionally, I do not know the impact my relationships had on the outcome of the election, but I do believe these relationships will help me be a more effective councilperson. I also believe these relationships will help me reach out beyond the city to improve the county, the Upstate, and the region.

City Council approved the establishment of an independent nonprofit Housing Trust Fund on Nov. 13. In addition to that, what specifically should the city do to address affordable housing? The approval of CommunityWorks and the allocation of $2 million toward affordable housing are a start in solving our affordable housing shortage. My first task on Council will be to understand the conversations leading up to the ordinance and to understand the work that has been done by the city and our nonprofits to help solve the problem. One important issue to address is expanding the definition of affordable housing to include housing for our workforce; those who work in our restaurants, hotels, office buildings, and schools. Housing should not be just a conversation about the number of units we produce, but more importantly, a conversation about the impact housing has on people – as a way to move out of poverty, stabilize families, improve employment opportunities, and give people hope. Providing affordable housing is a smart economic development strategy and demonstrates our compassion as a community.

“ There is no better way to learn Greenville than on the ground… street-by-street and door-by-door.” Russell Stall

How specifically will your experience with Greenville Forward help you on Council? Greenville Forward was a powerful foundation in preparing me to officially serve the city on Council, and as I move to the next chapter in my life in service to Greenville. The goals of Greenville Forward and the City of Greenville are highly aligned… to create the most livable city in the country. In my work on Council, I will continue Greenville Forward’s goals to make Greenville healthier, more creative, greener, more connected, economically vibrant, more inclusive, and create a culture that values learning. Greenville Forward, and my 12 years with Leadership Greenville, not only helped me understand the issues facing the community and her residents, but more importantly, connected me to people in all parts of Greenville, of different income levels, faith traditions, and life experiences that I would otherwise not have met.

How will you work with other Council members to get your top priorities accomplished? As a new councilperson, I will be a new voice among a group of seven. I already have strong relationships and friendships with the current Council, as well as with all the city department heads. Over the years, I have worked with each Council member on different projects and in different capacities. My relationships with current Council members are established, friendly, deep, and consistent. A “get to know each other” period is unnecessary, and we can get to work immediately on the future of Greenville immediately.

You have pushed for smart growth. Now that you’re on council, what will be the first thing you do for it in that regard? My first task will be to better understand the policies the city has developed to deal with growth so far. In a survey I conducted last month, 62 percent say that Greenville is growing too fast, and 78 percent say that it is important to manage the rapid growth of the city. Growth and new development are necessary for Greenville to move forward as a world-class city, but growth also puts a strain on our aging infrastructure and the charm and feel of our city. While the design guidelines were revised recently, we should concentrate on enforcement, as well as tailoring design standards to match the scale and personality of each distinct neighborhood.

The classroom was Virginia Uldrick’s stage. Uldrick, who founded Greenville’s Fine Arts Center and the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities, and traded her childhood dream of being a singer and actor on New York stages for making the artistic dreams of generations of students come true, died Wednesday, Nov. 15. “Virginia Uldrick had a phenomenal impact on Greenville’s cultural landscape, especially in arts education,” said Alan

Ethridge, executive director of the Metropolitan Arts Council. “Virginia truly set the groundwork for Greenville’s arts community to evolve into one of the most diverse and thriving cultural scenes in the country. Just look at the number of arts resources Greenville has, many of which are the envy of cities with significantly larger populations.” Part of her success was that she wouldn’t take no for an answer. “And thank goodness she didn’t,” said Scott Gould, an instructor at the

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities, a school that Uldrick pushed for, first as a summer program, then as a residential high school overlooking Falls Park in downtown Greenville. That “don’t take no for an answer” quality first surfaced when she arrived for her first Greenville County teaching job and found out there was no budget. She approached a young tire shop owner in Greer and ended up with $3,000. That tire shop owner — Verne Smith — ended up being one of the most powerful people in the state Senate and helped make reality her dream of a residential high school where students from all across South Carolina could hone their artistic talent. “It would be easy to point to the brickand-mortar things, but I think her legacy is the thousands of kids who get to pursue the arts who would have never had the opportunity,” Gould said. Uldrick helped start the Singing Christmas Tree, a Greenville Christmas tradition for decades. She was organizing principal for the Fine Arts Center, a school that now serves more than 400 students a year. She was the first director of the Roper Mountain Science Center. And she

served as the Governor’s School’s first president. A statement released last week by the Governor’s School said, “The Governor’s School community is deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved founder, Dr. Virginia Uldrick. She was a passionate visionary and teacher, a respected and unifying leader, and a steadfast advocate for the arts. Thanks to Dr. Uldrick’s pioneering efforts, thousands of South Carolinians have benefited, and will continue to benefit, from arts education opportunities and Governor’s School programs. While we spend time honoring Dr. Uldrick’s legacy, our thoughts and prayers are with her family.” Uldrick’s contributions to the arts and Greenville were honored with a bronze statue in the roundabout on Howe Street at the entrance for the Governor’s School in 2014. The inscription on the base of the statue came from “Vissi d’arte,” Uldrick’s favorite aria from Puccini’s opera “Tosca,” and is translated, “I lived for art.” —Cindy Landrum

Greenville Middle teacher named a state teacher of the year

Greenville Middle special education teacher Nicole Shartzer’s students worked with the school district food and nutrition services department to help prepare a Thanksgiving meal for their parents. But at the lunch, Shartzer was served up a special side dish — a Palmetto Teacher of the Year award from the S.C. Education

Association as a part of American Education Week. South Carolina K-12 public education principals were invited to nominate educators in their schools who they believe go above and beyond the call of duty in providing the best education for their students. SCEA President Bernadette R. Hampton reviewed the nominees and selected educators in different regions who are making a difference in ensuring every child in the state receives a quality education. “Nicole Shartzer is an amazing talent. She’s knowledgeable, compassionate, and a go-getter,” said Greenville Middle Academy Principal Nicky Andrews. “Mrs. Shartzer has served as a mentor to new teachers and demonstrates high expectations for our kids.” Each year, students in Greenville Middle School special education classrooms invite their parents to a Thanksgiving lunch. This year, the district’s food service department was involved to help teach students about food preparation and life skills. The students have mild and moderate intellectual disabilities, and part of their educational program is spent on daily life skills. For the Thanksgiving meal project, students learned about table settings and centerpieces in addition to food prep. —Cindy Landrum

AMAZING STORIES 20 leaders from five cities tour Greenville for examples of smart growth

WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM, ANDREW MOORE, AND ARIEL TURNER Smart Growth America and the Knight Foundation recently held the second phase of its inaugural Amazing Place Ideas Forum in downtown Greenville. Held Nov. 14-16, the forum brought more than 20 economic development leaders and elected officials from five U.S. cities to Greenville to see how the city has used historic preservation, brownfield redevelopment, and riverfront investment in our celebrated downtown. Participants previously toured Denver, Colo., from Aug. 29–31 to study how that city has used transit, strategic redevelopment, and the arts to attract millennials. “Denver and Greenville exemplify the Amazing Place approach to local economic development,” according to a press release from Smart Growth America, a nonprofit advocacy group. “The five selected communities will get an upclose look at how they’re doing it, but this is an approach that any community can use.”

In Greenville, the forum’s delegates spent three days meeting with local economic development leaders, business owners, and elected officials to discuss affordable housing, urban design, transportation, and more. Greenville City Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle and Mayor Knox White led a discussion in downtown about the importance of walkability. And our very own publisher, Ryan Johnston, narrated a bus tour of the Village of West Greenville that explored the opportunities of redevelopment. The forum also included tours of Main Street and other points of interest, including the Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail and NEXT Innovation Center. The Upstate Business Journal recently sat down with representatives from each of the visiting cities to discuss their experience in Greenville and what they learned from it. Here is what they had to say:

AKRON, OHIO

The Akron leadership team came to Greenville looking for ideas to make their city, which is suffering from postindustrial population decline, a “better city” and a more “complete city,” said Dave Daly, market and garden coordinator with Let’s Grow Akron, a nonprofit that helps neighborhoods turn unused parcels into community gardens. What that means for them is a place where bicyclists, pedestrians, and people of all races, ethnicities, and ages are not only welcome but can thrive. Specific areas of note for them from Greenville are the Reedy River corridor, which could provide a roadmap for better use of the Akron canal-way; the expertly designed streetscapes along Main Street and the design guidelines that help enhance the downtown experience; public art for all generations, such as the Mice on Main; and the Village of West Greenville, the ongoing revitalization of which could be foreshadowing the fledgling development of the southwestern Akron area of Kenmore. “The bones are there,” Daly said. Akron team members Dominic Falcione, Kelli Fetter, Valerie Shea, Karen Starr, and Bronlynn Thurman contributed to this report. –Ariel Turner

Specific areas of note included the Reedy River corridor, Main Street streetscapes, public art, and the Village of West Greenville.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Rick Thurmond, Charlotte Center City Partners senior vice president for community and business development, has a simple definition of smart growth — growth with a plan. And Greenville, he said, is a shining example of urban planning done correctly. “There are a lot of lessons to be learned from Greenville, and I think one of them is the intentionality with which Greenville has grown,” he said. Charlotte and Greenville, although differing in size, face many of the same challenges, including equity in growth. “Our growth has been so fast that parts of our city, perhaps, have been left behind. The question is not only how do we rectify that, but as we continue to grow, how do we ensure all parts of our city benefit,” he said. Thurmond said he looks to learn lessons of leadership in any city he visits. “It’s not so much about a specific space or place that we can re-create in Charlotte,” he said. “It’s how did they get this thing done and can we learn a lesson from that to get something done in Charlotte.” –Cindy Landrum

“ Our growth has been so fast that parts of our city, perhaps, have been left behind.”

COLUMBIA, S.C.

The development along the Reedy River in downtown caught the attention of Lou Kennedy, president and CEO of Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corp. “We have the convergence of three beautiful rivers through our city. We have developed very, very, very little of it,” she said. “I see that as an opportunity for excellence.” Kennedy said river development is something that would really amp up the identity of Columbia. “I am 100 percent energized by what I see in Greenville, particularly as it pertains to the river development and as it pertains to diversity, arts, and culture. We have all those elements in Columbia. We need to celebrate them and grow them.” The key to getting it done is having the city’s leaders, whether they are elected officials or business leaders, work together. “Our group here today is just that,” she said. “We have to support that effort,” she said of Columbia’s business leaders. The Midlands Business Leadership Group, of which Kennedy is a member, is a coalition of more than 40 CEOs from the Midlands region’s largest employers. In January, the group announced an effort to mobilize the private sector to increase the region’s competitiveness. –Cindy Landrum

“ We have the convergence of three beautiful rivers through our city. We have developed very, very, very little of it.”

MACON, GA.

Public officials and economic development leaders have made great strides over the past decade to increase the number of people moving to downtown Macon, says Macon-Bibb County Commissioner Virgil Watkins. In fact, the number of downtown lofts has nearly doubled since 2012. But the city is still struggling to retain residents and some of its top businesses, which is why Watkins and his group used their time in Greenville to focus on boosting connectivity and quality of life. “It was interesting to see how public art has been implemented in downtown,” said Watkins. “But our biggest takeaway from Greenville is that we need to work on keeping our streets clean and safe. We’ve got to get back to the basics before we start putting up any murals. That’s the only way we’re going to create an inviting environment that keeps people in downtown.” –Andrew Moore

“ It was interesting to see how public art has been implemented in downtown.”

WICHITA, KAN.

Since 2009, the city of Wichita has seen more than $450 million in investment downtown and nearly 1,300 downtown residential units planned or completed. But the city still faces a multitude of challenges that could prevent continued economic development, according to Wichita City Councilwoman Cindy Claycomb. That includes a talented workforce of 18- to 40-year-olds leaving for jobs in other cities and a large downtown area that has one too many available storefronts for rent. Luckily, the city’s leadership team came to Greenville and found inspiration in the Reedy River, which has transformed downtown into a hub of entertainment, recreation, retail, and restaurants. “The Reedy has sort of validated our own plans for back home,” Claycomb said. “We have a beautiful prairie river in Wichita that we’re currently working to transform into an anchor for new developments. If done right, it could easily bring more businesses into town and help us fill some of our empty storefronts. That’s one of our biggest goals right now.” –Andrew Moore

“ The Reedy has sort of validated our own plans for back home.”

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Remembering the one-time stars of the Greenville culinary scene WORDS BY VINCENT HARRIS

It seems like every few days, there’s an announcement about a new restaurant opening in the Upstate. But maintaining a successful restaurant in a crowded market is difficult. With so many different eateries coming and going, it’s inevitable that some of your favorites have closed over the years. Here is our by-nomeans-scientific list of some of Greenville’s most dearly departed restaurants.

1 Famous for Steaks, Ribs, Chicken, and Seafood

NOV. 30 – DEC. 2 Thur Nov 30th 10am-8pm Fri Dec 1st 10am-8pm Sat Dec 2nd 10am-6pm

holidayfairgreenville.com

John Paul’s Armadillo Oil Company, 637 Congaree Road John Paul’s was known for great steaks and ribs, its eye-patch-clad owner John Paul, and a dining area that was a taxidermist’s heaven, featuring stuffed bears, lions, and other unlucky animals. Although the restaurant closed in 2013 after being open nearly 25 years, we still have fond memories of licking barbecue sauce off our fingers after demolishing a plate of ribs.

Never on Sunday, 210 E. Coffee St.

Vince Perone’s Restaurant, 1 Antrim Drive, Greenville

Run by the husband-and-wife team of Nick and Iris Turner, the Greek/Mediterranean restaurant was a true family affair. They first opened in 1968 and closed in 2016. That’s an impressive run. These days the restaurant is home to Aryana, an Afghan eatery.

Capri’s Original Italian Restaurant, 500 E. Stone Ave.

For many in Greenville, the Stone Avenue Capri’s was their first Italian dining experience. As such, it formed the basis for what an Italian eatery should be for many Greenville natives. Located beside Canal Insurance, Capri’s offered an economic mix of classic Italian and American dishes, but the ambience was what really mattered – dark, hushed, and intimate. And there were mini jukeboxes at every booth.

One of the granddaddies of the Greenville restaurant scene, Vince Perone’s opened in 1956. It started out as a simple delicatessen before transitioning into a fine-dining establishment that featured rack of lamb and lobster. Not surprisingly, Vince Perone’s became one of the city’s essential big-night-out eateries. Perone himself was an Upstate icon, serving as a community leader and director of the YMCA, the United Way, and the March of Dimes. He was even able to book bands into his restaurant, including the Glen Miller Band, Count Basie’s orchestra, and Frank Sinatra Jr.

Falls Street Café

When Noah “Rick” Lowe Jr. passed away last December, it was the end of an era. Lowe was the owner of the Falls Street Café, known better as the Cat Dive. Falls Street was one of those classic diners where everyone knew your name and your order when you walked in the door. For many downtown workers, it was a breakfast and lunchtime staple. The Cat Dive’s chili dogs are so beloved that since the place closed in 1997, the Camperdown Historical Society hosts an annual luncheon in honor of them.

Swensen’s, 2025 Wade Hampton Blvd.

Two words: Ice cream. All kinds of ice cream. Sure, they had burgers and stuff, but people went to Swensen’s for the scoops, sundaes, and floats. For a time, Swensen’s was part of a weekend-night entertainment triangle with Putt Putt and the Bijou. Parents were known to drop off their sons and daughters at the spot and return to pick them up three to four hours later.

FALL STREET CAFE

Gene’s, 527 Buncombe St.

The very definition of a South Carolina meat-and-three, Gene’s piled on the mac ‘n’ cheese, green beans, fried chicken, and cornbread, all for a great price and zero pretension. Located at one of the gateways to downtown, the Gene’s site remains undeveloped since it closed in 2011.

Maureen’s Delicatessen, 110 N. Main St. People still speak with fondness of Maureen’s one-of-akind German potato salad and the turkey club. But let’s face it, we’re really talking about the Toll House Derby Pie, a sinfully good confection of chocolate chips, pecans, whipped cream, and brown sugar. In the days when downtown’s revitalization stopped at Washington Street, Maureen’s, along with Red Baron and Fuddruckers, were go-to lunchtime spots for area workers.

Smokin’ Stokes BBQ,

Honorable Mention: The Franchises

We’ve listed a few restaurant chains that had a definite Upstate feel to them.

Po’ Folks

Founded in Anderson in 1975, Po’ Folks specialized in country-fried (or, excuse us, “Kuntry Fried”) everything, and seafood favorites like Calabash Shrimp.

The Hungry Fisherman

Ryan’s Steakhouse

The Hungry Fisherman featured seafood, seafood, and more seafood, most of it deliciously deep-fried, from Alaskan snow crab legs to flounder, perch, and, of course, catfish. This Pelham Road eatery – in the heart of today’s Restaurant Row – also featured a pond with paddleboats and an island playground. With the advent of places like Golden Corral, it’s difficult to imagine how mind-blowing the Greer-based Ryan’s chain’s “mega-bar” concept was when they first debuted it. Despite other places outpacing them in the years that followed, there was a time when you might have to wait an hour or more on a weeknight just to get access to that endless line of meat, veggies, salad, and soft-serve ice cream with endless toppings.

1622 Augusta Road We’ve been overly blessed with amazing barbecue places in the Upstate, but Smokin’ Stokes was one of the best; a greasyspoon atmosphere with some of the best brisket around, particularly if it was covered in their signature Cheerwine barbecue sauce. Yes, you read that correctly – Cheerwine barbecue sauce.

Charlie’s Steakhouse, 18 E. Coffee St.

It would be difficult to think of a more iconic eatery in downtown Greenville than Charlie’s Steakhouse, thanks in part to the distinctive green-and-white sign that hung outside. Open for an astounding 93 years, Charlie’s was the epitome of oldschool Greenville, from the modest, no-frills décor to the white tablecloths. It was also owned and operated for four generations by the Efstration family before closing in 2014.

Animal Care’s

Mitch

Hungry for Love

I haven’t always been homeless. When I was a puppy I had a family who doted on me daily. Then they found out they were having a baby and everything changed. They were worried because of stories they had heard about dogs who didn’t act gently around babies so they surrendered me to the shelter. It wasn’t because I had a history of violence. My record was spotless! But they worried too much and couldn’t be convinced that I should at least be given a chance. I wish they had tried to keep me around, or that they had taken responsibility to find me a new home with someone they knew would love me well. Now I’m homeless and hungry for love. Owners give up on their pets too soon all the time. If you’re considering giving up your pet, please follow the tips on greenvillepets.org for rehoming them. Your pet would never choose to give you up.

GreenvillePets.org

Sophisticated Palate, 34 S. Main St.

A much-missed downtown favorite that specialized in continental fare and $1.50 PBR, the Sophisticated Palate was located in the current home of Takosushi. And if you showed up on the right night at the right time, you could be required to sing along with the restaurant owners, Jim and Barbara Graeper, to one of their favorite songs.

When it comes to the annual Clemson-Carolina game, few football fans in the Palmetto State actually remember the score. But everybody knows who won. It’s practically a requirement for any upstanding Sandlapper. Over the years, there has been no shortage of players who’ve stepped up big in the Clemson-Carolina game. And you can expect that to happen again this year. But who will it be as the two in-state rivals face off Nov. 25 for their 115th meeting? As the state looks forward to this year’s game, here’s a look back at some of the players who have stepped up big in the rivalry. •

Kickoff: 7:30 p.m., ESPN •

Steve Wadiak, USC, 1950

The 1950 Gamecocks were underdogs to an undefeated Clemson team. But running back Steve “The Cadillac” Wadiak ran for 256 yards and the Gamecocks played the Tigers to a 14-14 tie. Wadiak ended his career as USC’s all-time leading rusher with 2,878 yards, a record that stood for nearly 30 years.

Jerry Butler, Clemson, 1977

Clemson blew a 24-0 lead and trailed 27-24 with less than three minutes to go, thanks to a shanked punt and a 40-yard touchdown pass from Ron Bass to Phillip Logan. But the Tigers marched down the field, and the drive culminated with “The Catch.” Butler made a diving backwards catch off a Steve Fuller pass with just 49 seconds left in the game, ending up in the end zone to give Clemson a 31-27 win.

Jeff Grantz, USC, 1975

USC quarterback Jeff Grantz was the star of the 1975 game, called by some as the best game played by the Gamecocks in the rivalry. South Carolina scored a touchdown on every offensive possession, including Grantz’s five touchdown passes. He also ran for 122 yards.

Mark Buchholz, Clemson, 2007

Call us today for your free in-home consultation! 864-386-2292

7 Brendan Way, Suite B Greenville, SC 29615 HomeCareAssistance.com/Greenville

Clemson trailed the unranked Gamecocks 21-20 when the Tigers drove down the field in the final two minutes to set up kicker Mark Buchholz for a 35-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the game. Buchholz nailed it.

Steve Taneyhill, USC, 1992

After the Gamecocks opened the 1992 season with five straight losses, freshman quarterback Steve Taneyhill led Carolina to a 5-6 record, including a 24-13 win over Clemson in Death Valley. The brash freshman mimicked hitting home runs after big plays and pretended to autograph the tiger paw at midfield after the game was over.

Rod Gardner, Clemson, 2000

Clemson receiver Rod Gardner made perhaps the biggest — but definitely the most controversial — catch of his collegiate career in the 2000 game. The Tigers, ranked 25th in the nation, trailed by two when quarterback Woody Danzler completed a 50-yard pass to Gardner, who battled USC defensive back Andre Goodman for position. The catch is known as “The Catch II” in Clemson and “The Push-Off” in Columbia.

Mike Hold, USC, 1984

Carolina was 9-1 when they came into Death Valley in 1984, in the midst of the best season in school history. Clemson jumped out to a 21-3 lead and went into halftime up by 11. But the second half belonged to the Gamecocks, led by quarterback Mike Hold. Starting at their own 16, Hold led USC down the field and scored on a quarterback sneak with 54 seconds to play. Kicker Scott Hagler missed the extra point for the first time all season, but the Tigers had 12 men on the field. Hagler made good on his second chance, and Carolina had its first 10-win season.

First meeting Nov. 12, 1896 Carolina 12, Clemson 6

Longest win streak Clemson, 7 (1934-1940)

Last meeting Nov. 30, 2016 Clemson 56, Carolina 7

Current win streak Clemson, 3

Largest win Clemson 51-0 in 1900

Clemson leads the series 68-42

Willie Underwood, Clemson, 1980

Willie Underwood picked off two passes in the 1980 rivalry game, returning them for a school-record 101 yards and one touchdown, leading Clemson to an upset victory over the 14th-ranked Gamecocks. Underwood had 17 tackles in the game and earned Sports Illustrated’s Player of the Week for his performance.

Brad Edwards, USC, 1987

USC was ranked 12th and Clemson eighth in 1987, the highest ranked meeting between the two schools in the rivalry’s history. USC held a 13-7 lead when All-American cornerback Brad Edwards returned an interception to seal the win.

Charlie Whitehurst, Clemson, 2003

Charlie Whitehurst tied a school record with four touchdown passes in Clemson’s 6317 win over the Gamecocks in 2003. He was the first quarterback to go 4-0 in the rivalry.

Big Bags are Such a Pain in the Neck Poor physical health can be a high price to pay for fashion. Over the years, as purses and totes seem to have gotten larger in size, there’s a similar correlation in the number of women experiencing increased neck pain, back pain, and even bad headaches. The larger the bag, the bigger the risk of abnormal gait, muscle imbalance, strains, or pinched nerves, to name a few. As the holiday shopping season is in full gear, use these helpful tips to prevent from falling victim to your fashion-forward accessories! Weight... While there may be certain items that take up permanent residency in your purse, consider cleaning them out periodically. Ideally, bags should not exceed more than 5% of your body weight. Strap size... Check the strap size of your bags. The smaller the strap, the higher risk you are at pinching nerves and straining muscles in your shoulder and neck. Try using a bag with a thicker, padded strap. Find a new style... Less strain is put on your neck and back if you distribute the weight evenly. The best way is to get a back pack style bag where two straps are used, as opposed to one weighing your shoulder down. Switch it up... If you can’t give up your sling-style tote for a two-strap back pack, change shoulders on which you are carrying the bag every 10 to15 minutes. This Means You Too, Men! By keeping a thick or heavy wallet in your back pocket while sitting, it causes your pelvis to tilt, starting a chain reaction of misalignment all the way up your spine. Commonly referred to as sciatic pain, it begins in the hip and can generate all the way down your leg. Wallets should be emptied of unnecessary items: unused credit cards, pictures, and loyalty cards. Move it to a front pocket or lay it aside while sitting or driving to avoid low back pain. If possible, get rid of the wallet altogether and use a money clip. Even if you’re able to make the suggested changes and are still experiencing pain or discomfort, don’t worry. Elite Integrated Therapy Centers is here to help! Just a phone call away, their team can help you schedule an appointment with a licensed physical therapist within 24-48 hours—no referral needed!

Antonakos Foundation Awards 2017 recipients The Antonakos Foundation has announced the recipients of its third annual scholarship fund, totaling $12,000. The scholarships were awarded based on application and evaluated on academic success, awards and honors, school involvement and activities, community involvement, athletics and employment, and a personal statement, as well as references. The following individuals were the recipients of the 2017 Antonakos Foundation Scholarships: Davis Crews (Eastside) for Vanderbilt University, Alaina Riordan (Wade Hampton) for University of Tennessee, Megan Keech (JL Mann) for Clemson University, Adam Engasser (Greenville) for University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Anna Lee Henry (JL Mann) for Clemson University, and Will Williamson (Greenville) for Presbyterian College.

SELF-PORTRAIT SAINTHOOD Megan Hueble’s collages explore the role of women in religious iconography ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Since childhood, Megan Hueble has focused on being an artist. After graduating from the Greenville Fine Arts Center in 2013, she enrolled at Clemson University to study visual art with a concentration in drawing. Her earliest works focused on patterns and grids and incorporated everything from graphite to acrylics. She also brieﬂy experimented with black-and-white photography and embroidery. “My work is always changing and exploring new things,” she says. “I basically focus on whatever’s inspiring me in the moment, which gives me more artistic freedom.” Today, Hueble’s focus has shifted to creating mixedmedia installations that aim to examine and challenge the historical portrayal of female saints in Catholic iconography, a subject she was inspired to tackle after visiting cathedrals in Italy nearly two years ago. “Most of the women in these pieces were represented by men who had no idea what the female experience is like,” Hueble says. “They painted simplified versions of these women to represent archetypes like Eve or Madonna. In a lot of religious art, women were represented so that they couldn’t directly engage with viewers, which created this mythos that they were pure with no desire. I’m trying to turn that idea upside down.” Some of Hueble’s most recent installations, for instance, include self-portraits that attempt to engage the viewer

through eye contact. “It gives my subject independence from the viewer’s gaze and asserts that they’re an actual person,” she says. But ironically, Hueble is inspired by the icons that she challenges, and she incorporates various religious symbols, including halos and ﬂoral wreaths, in her collages to represent and celebrate the legacy of Christianity. “I’m mostly using these religious

symbols as a way to replicate the imagery used in icons,” she says. “But it also comes from a personal place. I was raised Southern Baptist and find it valuable even if I’m no longer orthodox and think these religious institu-

“Most of the women in these pieces were represented by men who had no idea what the female experience is like. They painted simplified versions of these women to represent archetypes like Eve or Madonna.” Megan Hueble

tions need to be questioned. They’ve had a huge impact on art and history.” Each of Hueble’s works is processoriented and features multiple forms of media. She usually begins with a selfportrait, snapping a selfie and then repli-

cating it on gridded paper with a graphite pencil. Hueble then cuts a halo and ﬂoral wreath from paper and colors them with watercolor, color pencil, highlighter, and ink. She then finally pieces the components together and secures it with staples. Hueble says some components in her collages are deeply personal and incorporate subtle references to her spirituality. One of her most recent installations actually features self-portraits on pieces of paper that she cut out from a former prayer journal. “It puts me in a very uncomfortable place, but it’s also obscure,” she says. “I’m just really trying to figure out ways that I can visually invite others to ponder and question and converse about these things I want to talk about.” Hueble, who is one of three Brandon Fellows at the Greenville Center for Creative Arts, is currently displaying and discussing her work on every first Friday of the month at GCCA. She is also experimenting with realism and working to master large portraits under the mentorship of West Greenville artist Mary-Epp Carter. As for the future, Hueble hopes to use the Brandon Fellowship to make a name for herself in Greenville and further her career goal of art education. She previously interned with the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Mint Museum in Charlotte. “I’ll never stop making art,” says Hueble. “But there’s nothing better than helping people connect with and learn more about art.”

TENSION AND RELEASE Jon Stickley Trio’s latest album captures the intricacies of their live sound VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

If you’re a fan of innovative acoustic music, watching Asheville, N.C.’s Jon Stickley Trio live is one of the best experiences you can have. Stickley plays acoustic guitar like it’s an extension of his body. His control, speed, and precision are all stunning. Standing alongside him, fiddle player Lyndsay Pruett is just as skilled, tossing off dazzling solos or mournful melody lines with equal ease. Oftentimes during a show, the two of them will face off in a good-natured battle, spinning out incredible solos and feverish duet passages that combine fierce improvisation and crowdpleasing theatrics. And underneath all of that, drummer Patrick Armitage is in constant motion, pinning down the beat and intently watching both players so he can add or subtract from the rhythm as needed. Altogether, it’s breathtaking to watch them build tension and release throughout a song. It’s also a sound that, up until this year, they’d never quite captured on an album. Their previous releases, “The Jon Stickley Trio,” “Lost at Last,” and “Triangular,” were full of great playing and great ideas, but they didn’t feel quite the same as the

band’s incredible onstage work as an ensemble. Their new album, “Maybe Believe,” has finally filled that gap. On “Play People,” for example, Pruett and Stickley build intensity by weaving their instruments around one another, as Armitage pummels and massages his kit nonstop. “Almost With You” ﬂows through peaks and valleys like a distant mountain range, with Pruett’s swooping solo buoyed by Stickley’s low-end lightning-speed fretwork and Armitage’s deft work on the cymbals. Each track seems to show off a different aspect of the band’s sound. “This album is the most representative of us,” Stickley says. “We’ve got a lot of miles under our belts, and it was a really natural representation of where we were at.” Stickley says he’s especially happy with the way the album spotlights Pruett’s playing. “We wanted to feature her a lot because she’s a highlight of the band,” he says. “It’s hard to imagine anyone else in that position. Her playing has grown into something really unique and personal to her.” The band has a heavy touring schedule, and that’s one of the reasons that the playing on “Maybe Believe” is so tight. Knowing that they’d only have a few days to record the album, the trio honed the songs as much as possible onstage. “A lot of the time when you go into the studio and lay down a song, it’s pretty early in the song’s life,” Stickley says. “Our music grows a lot with every new performance, so our goal was to get the songs ready far enough in advance that we could really let them come into their own, and then go in and record them.” Perhaps the best way to gauge the

Peace Center

range of the Trio’s music, which takes in elements of progressive rock, bluegrass, jazz, and even electronic dance music, is to look at the three covers on “Maybe Believe.” The band tackles a song from Tony Rice (“Birdland Breakdown “), a classic bluegrass fiddle tune (“Jerusalem Ridge”), and a track by the eccentric electronic icon Aphex Twin (“Avril 14th”). “On the last album, we covered ‘Slopes’ [by the bluegrass supergroup Strength in Numbers], which to us was a newgrass classic,” Stickley says. “So we went back into that realm with ‘Birdland Breakdown.’ And we always like to do a traditional fiddle tune, and ‘Jerusalem Ridge’ came up, so we used that to pay tribute to Bill Monroe. As for the Aphex Twin song, we’re all big fans of that type of music. It was a softer, more beautiful piece that would round out the album.” Stickley says that that breadth of styles is what makes the band who they are. “Ultimately, we tend to just do whatever we want and that’s super freeing,” he says. “Anything is fair game, because this is an experimental project at its core.”

THEY COME IN THREES You’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch ‘The Nutcracker’ this holiday season ARIEL TURNER | STAFF

aturner@communityjournals.com

Clara, her courageous soldier, and the sugar plum fairies will be chassé-ing across a variety of stages in three unique “The Nutcracker” productions beginning Dec. 1. Along with the regular evening shows, each company or studio will also host educational outreach programs for students, along with additional special events.

CAROLINA BALLET THEATRE Carolina Ballet Theatre presents “The Nutcracker: Once Upon A Time in Greenville,” a European-inspired production that will feature all new costumes, sets, backdrops, and props. The libretto is adapted from E.T. A. Hoffmann’s classic story, “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.” Choreographed by CBT Artistic Director Herman Justo, the performance is based on the original Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov ballet. On opening night, Carolina Ballet Theatre will host guest artists from world renowned ballet companies – Herman Cornejo, principal at American Ballet Theater and partner of ABT’s Misty Copeland, and his sister, Erica Cornejo, principal at Boston Ballet. The three performances feature a 100-plus person cast including CBT Company dancers. The Meyer Center for Special Children students will perform during the opening scene. Additionally, this year CBT has partnered with the S.C. Football Hall of Fame to bring celebrity athletes to the stage, including former Clemson Tigers Patrick Sapp and Tajh Boyd. Before the evening performances and following the matinee, Table 301 will serve a Nutcracker Banquet in Genevieve’s. Included will be guest dancers and treat bags for the children.

GREENVILLE BALLET The Greenville Ballet will present the 33rd annual production of executive director Andrew Kuharsky’s adaptation of “The Nutcracker” on Dec. 15 and 16 at 3 p.m. at Furman University’s McAlister Auditorium. Guest dancer Crystal Serrano from Dance Theatre of Harlem will perform with 90 local dancers, including Kuharsky’s four grandchildren. This year’s production will also include the premier of brand new sets for Act 2. The sets and the storyline are modeled after George Balanchine’s internationally famous version, with the exception of some of the women’s costuming. (Read: hoop skirts.) “It’s more ‘Gone with the Wind’ than traditional German,” Kukarsky says. Kuharsky said the educational performance on Dec. 15 is a main reason the company moved its production from the Peace Center to McAlister Auditorium in 2002 because it was more cost effective to offer significantly discounted seats. “A lot of kids don’t have exposure to dance,” he says.

INTERNATIONAL BALLET International Ballet performs “The Nutcracker,” in partnership with the Greenville Symphony Orchestra, at the Peace Center Concert Hall Dec. 1-3. This year’s guest artists include Cuban ballet sensations Adiarys Almeida and Taras Domitro, who are performing in Greenville for the first time through a sponsorship by Graham and Greta Somerville. “This season, our audiences will be able to enjoy the artistry of our accomplished dancers alongside these incredibly respected and world-renowned guest artists of the ballet world,” said International Ballet’s Artistic Director Vlada Kysselova. As Greenville’s only production of “The Nutcracker” with a live orchestra, it will also feature a live choir in the snow scene, led by Arlen Clarke of St. Mary’s Catholic Church. “It is incredibly fortunate that audiences have the opportunity to experience Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece live, for there is no substitute for the fantastic energy that fills the hall when you combine musical mastery with the artistic expression of ballet. It is the perfect note to start the holiday season on,” said Greenville Symphony Orchestra Executive Director Julianne Fish. Additionally, International Ballet will host the Nutcracker Tea Party on Dec. 10, at the Poinsett Club, featuring a performance by IB’s Nutcracker dancers, sweets by Jonathan Caleb Cake, and story time, among other holiday themed activities. “International Ballet’s Nutcracker Tea Party is that quintessential childhood tradition that brings the holidays to life and gives young people and up-close experience with the art of dance,” said Lena Forster, International Ballet executive director.

improvised moments. The ultimate goal is to be as loose as possible and looseness creates improv.” GJ: You both have solo segments in the show; how much time do you spend onstage together? Martin: “I can tell you almost exactly. We’re onstage together about 70 percent of the time, and we’re alone about 15 percent each and then the Rangers are on for 5 percent. So we have about 150 percent of a show.” Short: “That was the worst breakdown of anything I’ve ever heard in my life.” Steve: “No, listen! When you’ve consumed 100 percent, you have to keep going, and there’s nothing to do but add. I give 110 percent and Marty gives 90 percent, and it’s absolutely perfect.”

VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

Let’s start out with the specifics here, because once the comedic duo of Steve Martin and Martin Short began talking, we really weren’t in control anymore. These two funnymen, actors, authors, and musicians are touring with a show called “An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life.” The show will feature musical accompaniment and interludes by the award-winning bluegrass group the Steep Canyon Rangers, with whom Steve Martin (a renowned bluegrass lover and banjo player) has just released a long-awaited second collaborative album called, fittingly enough, “The Long Awaited Album,” along with pianist Jeff Babko. Martin and Short will perform songs, tell stories, talk about their decades-long careers, and do a lot of improvising at the Peace Center in Greenville on Feb. 23 and 24, 2018, at 8 p.m. Tickets are currently on sale and priced at $100, $125, $150, and $250. The show is actually the second of its kind that the two men have done; the previous version was called “A Very Stupid Conversation With Steve Martin and Martin Short.” And that is where our conversation began, and right about where it went off the rails. GJ: How is this show different from the first tour you did together?

Helping Hands When You Need Them

Steve Martin and Martin Short

Short: “It’s constantly changing. Every night we walk offstage, and either Steve or I will say, ‘Hey, you know what would be great, is if we did it this way or that way or changed this.’ It’s a constantly morphing show. So if you saw this a year ago, there are many elements of this that are different.” Martin: “The show is at least 70 percent different, and the one thing we’re thinking of is that if we get rid of Marty, that would change the show entirely.” Short: “And I was going to say that since the last tour, thankfully, Steve’s prescriptions have all been altered and upped.”

GJ: Steve, how much of the new album do you play with the Steep Canyon Rangers in this show? Martin: “We actually barely do anything from our record [laughs]. But they do play more music in this show, because we have costume changes and stuff.” GJ: This is the second time you’ve toured together, so what do you enjoy most about working together onstage? Short: “The reality is that the reason we enjoy doing it is the chemistry that happens very naturally between Steve and myself. That leads to improvised lines and

GJ: And you each talk about the movies you’ve done? Martin: “We basically tell funny anecdotes of our lives, but that’s a small percentage of the show.” Short: “Steve! STEVE! What percentage is it of the show?” Martin: “It’s 28 percent. Actually, that’s not true. My part is half of that, so I’m 14 percent and Marty’s is 14 percent. Actually, I’m joking, that’s not true. I don’t really know what percentage it is.” Short: “Yes he does. I promise you he does. That was not a joke.” GJ: We hope we haven’t caused a rift between the two of you with this percentage argument. Martin: “Well, we have two-and-a-half months or so before this show, so I’m pretty sure by the time we get there we won’t be speaking to each other at all.”

NOT YOUR TYPICAL CAROL Robert Earl Keen’s holiday show embodies the silliness, chaos, and joy of the season VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

In the great tradition of Texas troubadours like Joe Ely and Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen has written a lot of gems that sit comfortably at the dusty crossroads where rock, folk, and country music meet. His 12 studio albums are dotted with favorites like “The Road Goes On Forever,” “Paint the Town Beige,” “Feeling Good Again,” and many more. But there’s one song that stands out from the rest in Keen’s repertoire; a song that, even if you don’t recognize his name, you’ve probably heard before. It’s called “Merry Christmas from the Family.” The song is a shaggy dog story that’s far different from the typical holiday tune. “Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk,” is the song’s opening line, after all. During the song’s four-minute run time, there are at least two trips to convenience stores to pick up celery, a can of fake snow, a box of tampons, and a pack of Salem Lights, among other things. When Keen first released the song on his 1994 album “Gringo Honeymoon,” it caught on fast. “Merry Christmas from the Family” resonated so strongly that it changed the course of Keen’s career. “I became the Jimmy Buffett of December,” he says with a laugh. “I could fill up every day in December with a show if I wanted to, and it was because people wanted Robert Earl Keen. Photo provided to hear the song. They didn’t even necessarily want to hear the rest of the show. In fact, the song became such an iconic part of Keen’s “A lot of times, people would just mill about until I catalog that, about six years ago, he thought maybe he started playing that song, and then they’d be front and wasn’t giving it enough credit. center singing along at my feet.” “I started thinking, ‘Maybe we aren’t doing enough for

these holiday shows,’” he says. “So we started wearing silly costumes and started coming up with a show based around the song.” Thus Robert Earl Keen’s “Fam-O-Lee” holiday show was born. “It’s every bit as wacky and upside down as the song itself,” Keen says. “For the people who know the song, they’ll know what to expect. For people who don’t, what I tell them is that if you are not in the Christmas spirit, come to this show and I promise when you walk out you will be. “It’s not about ‘Sleigh Bells’ and stuff like that. It’s about knowing how fun Christmastime can be,” he adds. “And everybody’s in on the joke.” Part of the fun for Keen and his band is that each edition of the show has a different theme, and each member of his band gets a chance to shine. “Several years ago, we did ‘A ’70s Christmas,’ so everybody was in ’70s garb and the backdrop was ’70soriented and all that, and then the band all picked an iconic ’70s singer and sang one of their songs. We sang ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ for instance, which was a big surprise because we had these theaters with people taking out their lighters and swaying along with the song. It was unbelievable.” This year, the theme of the Fam-O-Lee show is the “Back to the Country Jamboree.” “It’s a reference to the Neil Young song ‘Get Back to the Country,’ Keen says. “And so everyone in the band will be a country-rock icon. We’ll have Bob Dylan. We’ll have Neil, Dwight Yoakam, Tom Petty – every one of the band members will dress up as one of them. It’s like a costume party with music, and everybody gets to sing, and we’ll have a handful of my songs, but for the most part it’s about welcoming the holiday season.”

“For the people who know the song, they’ll know what to expect. For people who don’t, what I tell them is that if you are not in the Christmas spirit, come to this show and I promise when you walk out you will be.” Robert Earl Keen

THE BIG APPLE’S BEST Words by Russell Sanford / Photos by Will Crooks

The current state of pizza in Greenville has leaned toward the trendy side of pizza: wood ovens, classical Neapolitan-style, and hip toppings that seem as if they belong nowhere near a pizza crust. But despite all of these new gourmet-style pizza places opening, there are plenty of old New York-style pizzerias producing some of the best pies in the city.

Barley’s Taproom and Pizzeria 25 W. Washington St. barleysgville.com

Since 1996, Barley’s has been known for having one of the best beer selections in downtown, but their pizza should not be overlooked. Sauce is used sparingly, but their eclectic array of toppings allow for all kinds of pizza to be created. The main draw here is the sourdough crust, which has an incredible chew and adds some sourness and funk to the pizza (cheese: medium, $13; large, $16; slice, $2.50). Give the beefalo a go for a different type of protein.

feast Pebble Creek Pizza 1306 Stallings Road

Pebble Creek Pizza has been serving Greenville for over two decades with quality pizza (cheese: 12-inch, $7.99; 14-inch, $9.99; 18-inch, $13.99). The dough is made fresh daily and provides the perfect vehicle for any of their toppings. The sauce leans acidic but is needed against the cheese. The hand-tossed pizza is a customer favorite, and unlike many locally owned independent pizzerias, they will deliver.

Pizza City New York Style 1547 N. Pleasantburg Drive

Pizza City can be easily missed on Pleasantburg Drive, but the nondescript store is turning out quality pies (cheese: 12-inch, $7.50; 14-inch, $9.50; 16-inch, $10.95). The sauce is oregano-forward and put on the pizzas with a deft touch. The crust has a great chew and crunch on the bottom with lots of small, even air bubbles running throughout. The cheese stretches, but also has some bite to it. The slices are easily foldable to give you that full New York-slice experience.

Tito’s Restaurant Pizzeria 2018 N. Pleasantburg Drive

Just down the street from Pizza City, Tito’s makes some of the best pizza in Greenville with a homestyle atmosphere to match (cheese: 12-inch, $8.75; 14-inch, $10.75; 16-inch, $13). Simplicity is key, as the sauce allows the acidity and sweetness of the tomato to shine through but not to be masked by the cheese. The crust is toothsome, with a nice even rise and cook. Try meatballs on the pizza. You won’t regret it.

Tony’s New York Style Pizzeria 30 Orchard Park Drive tonysnewyorkpizzeria.com

Tony’s large slices and tangy sauce bring New Yorkstyle pizza to Haywood Road. The sauce and cheese blend into the crust to create that bready, doughy layer right below the cheese that helps to define the Big Apple slice. Try the white pie – ricotta, mozzarella, and garlic – if you crave something different (14-inch, $17.95; 16-inch, $19.95; 20-inch, $21.95).

Vic’s Pizza

21 E. Coffee St vicspizza4u.com Vic’s lists their location as “Brooklyn, S.C.” as a nod to their authentic New York-style pizza (cheese: 16-inch, $14; slice, $3). In actuality they can be found right on Coffee Street across from Coffee Underground. Vic’s sauce and cheese meld together seamlessly on a crust that offers a nice chew and gives diners that New York fold. They also make one of the largest pizzas in the city at 28 inches, the Bronx Bomber ($40). COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM

FAMILY MATTERS New Caviar & Bananas Greenville exec chef is all about family near and far

ARIEL TURNER | STAFF

aturner@communityjournals.com

Caviar & Bananas’ new executive chef, Daniel Rivera, hails from Puerto Rico, but he moved to the Carolinas to be closer to his brother’s family in Franklin, N.C. But even though the Greenville chef is nearer to family than he has been in years, his relatives in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico are very much on his mind. To help, Rivera and Caviar & Bananas are currently offering a special to benefit hurricane relief efforts. Some of that relief may even reach family members on the island who are still without power. On Fridays until December, Rivera is serving up The El Jibarito (meaning “country boy”), which is a tribute to Rivera’s Puerto Rican heritage and inspired by street food and memories of his grandmother’s cooking. The sandwich is served on a crispy plantain “bun” with roasted mojo pork, caramelized onions, gouda, bibb lettuce, tomatoes, and sofrito sauce. It comes with a side of pigeon peas and sweet plantain escabeche salad. The special is $11, and 20 percent of its sales go to UNICEF. Rivera says his family members live in the mountains of Puerto Rico and have been able to live off their land and local resources since they lost power and roadways off the mountain have been impassable. In order to talk to them for 10 minutes a day, Rivera may call 10 times to get through – reception on their end is spotty at best and depends on whether they have enough aluminum foil or not. “They’re doing it old school,” he says. “They’re moving forward as they can.” The El Jibarito, while receiving high praise from the C&B management team, likely won’t become a regular offering on the menu because green plantains,

which replace the bun in a regular sandwich, are difficult to get in South Carolina, Rivera says. The Johnson & Wales University-educated chef worked for more than a decade with Loews Hotels at its various Florida locations before moving to Season’s at Highland Lake Inn in Flat Rock, N.C., six months ago to be near his brother’s family. He says in the last six months, he’s seen his brother, sister-in-law, and their three young children more than he had in the last 10 years combined. “You focus so much on the business that you forget about family,” he says about his motivation to move north. “I should be able to find a way to do what I love to do and still be a part of my family.” Three months ago, he moved to the C&B position, and while much of the breakfast and lunchtime menu is predetermined, he’s been able to put his own stamp on the dinnertime small plates offerings, which rolled out last week. Highlights of the fall season-inspired menu include a pumpkin hummus with assorted vegetables, toasted pita; grilled broccolini, almond gremolata, balsamic gel; a roasted beet salad with goat cheese flan, port ver jus; sweet potato hash with sunny side up egg, arugula emulsion; crispy chicken and pecan waffle with piquillo pepper syrup, blackberry chutney; Southern crispy oysters, creamy grits, crispy prosciutto; pan-seared duck breast with parsnip puree, raisin mostarda; and pastramibraised beef cheeks with red cabbage puree, truffle frits. Rivera says the new menu will rotate frequently based on best sellers and the change of seasons. “Pumpkin and December don’t go together,” he says.

Gabe Dixon’s most recent album, “Turns to Gold,” is an excellent collection of songs made even better by great production. On songs like “Holding Her Freedom,” “Don’t Make Me,” and “Flow Like Wine,” the polished vocal harmonies, miles-deep Hammond organ, and sparkling guitars wash over the listener, resting snugly on the intersection of country and folk. The album is beautiful to hear, but the lyrics often reflect the confusion and insecurity Dixon was experiencing at the time. “I was transitioning professionally and personally,” he says. “I was leaving my label, finding new management, and youtube.com/watch?v=sPYIDMK29RQ I was also learning what it means to be in a long-term relationship and what commitment means.” In between his own albums, Dixon worked as a keyboardist and singer for a wide range of rock legends from Paul McCartney to Supertramp, and he says he tried to learn as much as he could. “I hope I soaked up as much as I could,” he says. “From Paul McCartney, I learned simplicity – not overthinking things too much in the studio. I played with Loggins and Messina, and there was a point in the tour where Kenny Loggins was really sick, but he kept going out every night and getting people on their feet. It taught me a level of professionalism that I hadn’t thought about before.” —Vincent Harris FRI

Emily Musolino Band w/ The Travers Brothership

Gottrocks, 200 Eisenhower Drive | 9 p.m. | $7

Listening to Emily Musolino play guitar, one can hear decades of classic rock and blues icons coming out of her electric six-string. Her soloes are dazzling, and her skill comes from a variety of places. “I’ve always been drawn to a lot of different bands for different reasons,” she says. “I loved Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, and Jimi Hendrix, but I also went through a big Sublime phase, and listened to Green Day and NOFX.” When it comes to her soulful vocals, however, there’s one performer who stands out. “I discovered Etta James when I was 17 and that was a game-changer,” she says. “That soul-blues emilymusolino.bandcamp.com/album/jealous-girl thing was my sh*t. The tone of her voice was like nothing I’d ever heard in my whole life; the soulfulness of it was incredible.” Musolino plays with a trio, which she says is the perfect way to get both her singing and guitar playing across. “I can do anything vocally and with guitar and not have to worry about holding back, because there’s nothing else in that space,” she says. —Vincent Harris

Emo Night w/ DJ Blake

Radio Room, 110 Poinsett Highway 7 p.m. | $3 (over 21)/$5 (under)

CONCERT

NOV. 25

Wes Gilliam, the booker for The Radio Room and bassist for the punk-pop band The Indoor Kids, is a big fan of “emo” music, the mix of heavy riffs and intimate, often self-lacerating lyrics that began in the mid ’90s with bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Jawbreaker. So when he saw that some other clubs around the country were having theme nights dedicated entirely to emo music, he didn’t think twice about setting one up at his venue. “When I first brought it to my partners, one said our regular clientele would hate it, but I knew I had to do it,” he youtube.com/watch?v=SgU8Bqcfd-Y says. In addition to a photo booth for the skinny-jeans-andeyeliner-clad crowd and live karaoke, Blake Arambula, from the band Glass Mansions, will DJ. And as for the playlist, Arambula says that’s up to the people. “My playlist comes through the community itself,” he says. “Before every event, we poll those attending with song requests and go from there. This way, everyone can have a say in music they want to hear. It also helps me with some long-lost gems I might have forgotten along the way.” So far Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and Senses Fail seem to be dominating the popular vote, but Gilliam has some ideas, as well. “I’ll try to slip in some Sunny Day Real Estate and Embrace when I can,” he says. —Vincent Harris

Holiday Greenery Trends

by Martin Garden Center

There is nothing like the cooler temps of autumn to get us in the holiday decorating spirit. Aromatic fresh roping, porch pot greenery and fraser ﬁr wreaths can be left natural or embellished with handcrafted bundles of holly, cypress, berries and pine cones. Consider adding fresh loose greenery with birch branches to your favorite pots on the porch to welcome your holiday guests at the door. And, oh, the wonderful inviting scent! For inside your home, you’ll want to grab some potted paperwhites for your holiday table and mantel---or for those piano teacher and lunch date gifts you’re always in need of during the holiday season. There is no better time than fall to add a nice splash of color to your outdoor beds. We recommend adding Wintergreen ground cover for its bright red berries and easy care. The ever popular Lemon Cypress and Everillo Carex bring a nice splash of evergreen lime no matter what the season. Flowering hellebore and camellias will be a welcome sight in your yard come late winter and spring. Whatever greenery you decide on, you’ll be sure to enjoy for a long time...happy planting!

Paperwhites add a scented splash to your holiday table.

Tips & Tricks

• Treat your holiday greenery with Wilt

Stop® like the professionals at Martin Garden Center do! Wilt Stop® is a natural, nontoxic product derived from the resin of pine trees that will keep your greenery looking fresh.

• Cooler temps, minimal direct sunlight and “misting” will also help extend the life of your holiday greenery.

• Use interesting sticks and branches to give height to any porch pot or centerpiece for added interest.
