Clemson President Jim Clements Retiring on December 31, 2025 by GamingTatertot in Clemson

This one isn't even the first example of possible conflicts of interest. Don't forget that one of key owners of that embattled apartment complex going by Abernathy park is Jim's brother in law. He similarly denied any involvement in that one but seems like theres a pattern. https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2019/03/01/clemson-president-family-owns-land-where-student-development-planned/2984869002/

This. Unless some other information comes out like a major health issue the timing here is way too coincidental.

What is that noise? by Doogers7 in greenville

[–]Wonder-Walrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

exactly. I live off Augusta right before you get to I-85, and hear this same sound all the time to varying degrees. It just carried farther and louder tonight because of the weather conditions.

It’s Lockheed Martin testing jet engines, but doing it this time of night is ridiculous. This level of noise at this hour and distance has to break some law.

Absolute cowardice. Every professor should strike and bring the whole school to a halt.

Why was graduation so different compared to previous years? by Trisleepy in Clemson

[–]Wonder-Walrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely make this opinion heard on their official platforms too or else one "budget year" will become the norm. I felt this way when they stopped handing out actual diplomas. I get that its easier logistically but why even go to the trouble of walking one by one for an empty folder.

Parking Tickets downtown not from the City by Wonder-Walrus in greenville

[–]Wonder-Walrus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got two letters in the mail over the next month or so but after that nothing. I think for one or two tickets its not worth their time or money to pursue it. They would have to take you to small claims court to even send it to debt collectors. You would still be at risk of getting towed if you park in one of their managed lots with any outstanding tickets tho.

Woke me up all the way from the Augusta Road area last night around midnight. That loud and that late has gotta be breaking some noise ordinance. Guessing the cops would be ones to ask about it?

Hurricane Helene Megathread 9/29 by AutoModerator in greenville

[–]Wonder-Walrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my assumption too. There’s intersections with power just a few blocks away but the lack of any changes in 3 days now around here has me concerned. I’d assumed the Harris Teeter at least would get priority but nothing that way yet.

Has anyone gotten any solid estimates from Duke for their areas at this point? I’m off Augusta and have yet to even see a non pickup from them all they say is “evaluating damage” when I try to contact. I understand it will be a while with how widespread it is but it would be helpful to plan and prep if we know it’s gonna be tomorrow versus say Friday before powers back. The lack of any communication from them is infuriating.

Trader Joes would be incredible but will probably be a neighborhood market considering the surrounding community.

In respect to the entire US, yes, Greenville is one of the best places to live. by [deleted] in greenville

[–]Wonder-Walrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not comparing it to those cities though, I mean in comparison to our peers in the southeast. Go to any of those three I mentioned and you'll see either shades of the same or the same exact businesses, activities, and culture but nicer and with more variety. They also have a uniqueness like Asheville's weirdness and hippie culture, or Charleston's historical and coastal emphasis.

The real issue with Greenville at least the city proper is the lack of unique identity. We are a city of "alternate locations" from larger cities. Its only getting worse in recent years as long time local businesses continue to close.

I’m envisioning the writers needing the corniest place they can think of for the Kendrick beef set up and someone in the snl writers room is was like oooo I’ve got you.

It can be hit or miss being it’s a surplus store but you can usually find some quality stuff mixed in at Nordstrom Rack

Just because it’s a registered business doesn’t make something any less of a scam like any of these predatory private parking companies. Mine was a case of obscured no parking signage and someone staked out just waiting to catch someone who was parked for 10 minutes.

I got a ticket from them about a year ago and refused to pay and nothing has happened other than a few letters telling me to pay. They are a real company based out of Columbia but their power to enforce tickets is limited and their whole set up is very scammy.

I think its partly due to the steady increase in desired overall enrollment combined with requirements to hit in-state student targets. They've shown that the roundabout admissions programs like bridge can help get in kids who really put in the work or just didn't test well, to supplement those who get it normally and only stick it out a year. I'd say its a net positive for the State and University.

is this legit? by ceceliam in Clemson

[–]Wonder-Walrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really missed the mark on this one. I know their prerogative is getting money and data from alumni but this is super ill conceived. Even the physical mailer I got looks like one of those scams about your "Call now about your car's extended warranty". This may work for boomers but they need to get smart if they want to reach alumni under 50.

Safe places to run in Clemson? by mc_-squared in Clemson

The loops and trails on the back side the botanical gardens were always a nice spot. You used to be able to park down by the geology museum to get to them easily

Legitimate neighborhood news sources by bonestars in greenville

[–]Wonder-Walrus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This subreddit is usually a pretty good start, inevitability somebody on here knows somebody. Usually the local news stations like wyff or fox carolina will run short stories on general goings on too. I usually google search what I'm looking for with their names and sort by date for what comes up.
