GREER, S.C. —

The owners of a popular Greer, South Carolina, restaurant posted a heartfelt message after the restaurant was damaged by fire over the weekend.

The fire at Tadpole Fish Camp happened early Saturday morning.

Deputy Chief Shawn Harter, with the Tyger River Fire District, said the fire department received reports of smoke coming from the building around 3:30 a.m., and fire was through the roof.

Harter said there was a partial roof collapse. According to Harter, it was an electrical fire.

The owners posted on Facebook the following message over the weekend:

"This morning Dane and I received one of the worst phone calls a small mom and pop business could ever receive, around 3:30am The Tadpole caught fire, as soon as we were notified we started praying. Upon arrival we could not believe what we were seeing, it brought Dane to his knees and rocked us to our core. We have shed many tears today with our children, family, employees and loyal customers. The Tadpole was more then our business it was a major part of our lives and in many ways was like our second home. It will take time but, we know The Tadpole will be back and stronger then ever. We thank all our Tadpole family and customers that have been sending prayers our way and please keep sending them,we definitely will need all we can get during these trying times. To all our employees y’all our more then employees y’all are family our Tadpole Family we have all laughed, shared, and cried together. I can truly say and have said since we took over we could not have had a better group of people to share our journey with and the journey is not over it’s just a bump in the road."

A GoFundMe has also been set up.

The restaurant says, "All proceeds go towards supporting our employees, and the cleanup/rebuilding process. We love all our customers and we thank y’all again for all the prayers and support y’all are sending The Tadpole’s way."

GREER, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Neighbors in Greer are upset over plans to sell a downtown area park to residential developers. Tuesday night, the council gave final approval on selling the 4 acre property which is now Victor Park.

“The lower income albeit homeowners are being pushed out by the newer developments,” said one resident during the meeting.

Victor Park sits just outside of downtown Greer. The city is selling it, not because it’s underused, but because they say it’s used too much.

“We don’t have the capacity to continue to support all of the events and all the programming that we have going on out there,” said Andy Merriman, the Greer City Administrator.

The plan is to sell the park to developers to build a residential community of townhomes or apartments. Feeding the need for the city’s growth. But some residents are worried about change.

“I’m just a little concerned about what the long-term plan is because that is not that far from my house. Is the city going to creep out that way? what’s it going to look like in 10 years?” asked a resident.

Others are more concerned about losing their public space.

“I’m concerned about the kids that play there. i would like to suggest that you perhaps build something before you tear that down,” said another resident.

Right now, Victor Park’s softball fields, basketball courts and gym are frequently used by youth teams, programs and the neighborhood. After the sale, some amenities like the field will be moved to turner park—about a 20 minute walk away. the courts will be relocated somewhere nearby.

“We’re going to continue to provide the services that we are currently providing right now,” said Merriman.

Some residents still see this as a loss, leaders argue it’s a gain because half of the profit from the sale will be used to make major improvements to Turner Park.

“they’re not losing a park they will be gaining enhanced recreation facilities not only in the area they’re used to playing but in new areas we’re going to continue to invest and those quality of life type programs,” he said.

Where can you bring your family to trick-or-treat in Greenville? When going door to door asking for sweets in your own neighborhood isn’t the right choice, where do Upstate families go?

We asked our readers where the most “Halloween visitor friendly” spots in the Upstate were, and this is what they told us.

Tips for Trick-or-Treating as a Guest in a Neighborhood

Local mom Dallas, had this great bit of advice for those visiting other neighborhoods on Halloween :

Parents: bring a trash bag to help pick up the discarded wrappers and random trash that inevitably happens when we visit neighboring communities for better loot. We live in a rural area and go to local subdivisions and noticed the residents are SUPER appreciative if you help out a bit and don’t leave their neighborhoods trashed.

Dallas

I once noticed something being done and have now started doing it when we visit other neighborhoods on Halloween. I bring glow necklaces and bracelets to hand out to kids walking past us trick or treating. It helps keep kids safe, we’re helping to contribute to the loot of trick or treaters in a non-allergenic way, PLUS everyone loves glo-sticks!

We hope that no matter where you decide to go, we hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween!

In addition to all the places our readers shared with us, there are many community events that you can find on the Kidding Around Greenville Guide to Halloween Events and Trick-or-Treating in Greenville and Spartanburg.

GREER, S.C. —

Greer Golf Course in South Carolina is about to get $2 million worth of renovations.

The first phase of the construction will begin July 24.

Renovations will begin by converting the pool area into an outdoor event space.

The renovated space will be available to rent for private gatherings including parties, receptions, and tournament scoring.

The area will feature an outdoor bar with lounge furniture, food preparation space, and restrooms. These renovations are expected to take two months to complete.

Work will then move to the clubhouse, where planned renovations over a four-month span include a redesigned pro shop, additional seating in the dining room, a full-size bar in the dining room and cosmetic upgrades throughout to include flooring, paint and fixtures.

Golf cart storage will be relocated to the basement of the pro shop and additional ADA parking and building entrance enhancements completed.

“It’s been exciting to watch the progress at Greer Golf and to see the vision we had when the City purchased the facility in 2020 coming to reality,” said Mayor Rick Danner. “This is one more sign that the City of Greer is committed to providing first-rate parks and recreation offerings for our community.”

“The feedback we received after completing extensive work on the tees, fairways and greens was overwhelmingly positive,” said Ann Cunningham, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism. “This next phase will take Greer Golf to the next level as the premier public golf facility in the state.”

Golf operations will not be interrupted during construction. The pro shop will remain open during the first phase of work and will be temporarily relocated to the event space once clubhouse work begins. Tee times may be scheduled online at www.greergolf.com.

The design was prepared by the SGA/Narmour Wright architecture firm and will be completed by general contractor P+F Construction.
