Local Greenville seafood restaurant in challenging spot closing after less than two years

GREENVILLE — The Ottaray Raw Bar & Taphouse, a seafood restaurant that inhabited the corner spot of an aging shopping mall on Laurens Road, announced it is closing its doors after less than two years. In a Facebook post, the restaurant said the decision was forced by business being slower than hoped. Nov. 8 was its last day. “We poured our hearts, time, and energy into making The Ottaray something special. We gave it our all, and while things didn’t turn out the way we envisioned, we are incredibly proud of what we created and the memories made along the way,” the business wrote on Facebook. T...

“There’s No Doubt We Can Beat Them”: Clemson Coach Sends Blunt Warning to Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Ahead of Thursday’s Clash

Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks have established themselves as one of the most dominant programs in women’s college basketball. However, Clemson head coach Shawn Poppie isn’t intimidated by the No. 1-ranked team ahead of Thursday’s rivalry showdown. Speaking during a press conference ahead of the game, Poppie explained why he expects his team to deliver a stronger performance against the Gamecocks. “I think that for them as young people, and this is no disrespect to the first three opponents we had, it’s harder to get them focused for those three than it is this one. I think that, in itself, you’re gonna see a different team come Thursday just based on the opponent, right, of how your focus level is leading up… I, as the head coach, want us to play better than we did the first three games. But you’re trying to convince 18 to 22-year-olds that believe that we’re probably better than them, we don’t have to play our best. It’s the fine line. I think there’s no doubt in that locker room that we think that we can beat them on Thursday,” Poppie said. Clemson WBB coach Shawn Poppie, previewing Thursday’s game vs. No. 1 South Carolina

Two prominent figures in Greenville music scene join to buy flagging venue with plans to renovate

GREENVILLE — Wes Gilliam, co-owner of the popular music venue Radio Room, recently bought The Foundry at Judson Mill, with plans to renovate the space. The lease begins on Jan. 1.

Clemson’s Dabo Swinney unhappy with loss of conference championship games

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney understands college football is changing again, but there is one part of the sport’s new direction he will genuinely miss. With the College Football Playoff set to expand to 24 teams beginning in 2027, conference championship games are on their way out. The CFP reached a five-year, $1.7 billion agreement with ESPN on Nov. 9, setting up one of the biggest postseason changes the sport has seen. For Swinney, the end of conference title games carries some real emotion. “I wouldn’t say it bothers me, but I’m not a fan of that,” Swinney said. “I love the conference championship games. I think it’s been great.” “It doesn’t bother me. I’d just say it kind of saddens me a little bit, I guess, because that’s going away,” Swinney added. “But hey, something new is coming. You just embrace it and you go attack whatever’s coming. But I hate to see that.” Few coaches have as much experience with conference championship games as Swinney. Clemson has played in 10 ACC Championship Games under Swinney, going 9-1 in those appearances. He also played for Alabama in the inaugural SEC Championship Game in 1992. “I’ve been in 10 ACC Championship

Northwest Grill’s burgers make it a roadside gem: City Juice with John Malik

I’m not a fan of labeling any restaurant “the best” at anything because much of what we enjoy in life is contextual. Lunch with friends is a lot more fun than lunch without friends. That’s why I brought Diego Campos (executive chef, Camp) and Jason Janson (Broadwater Shrimp) to Northwest Grill where we had a great meal.

Is the thermostat just out of batteries?

Check four things in order when a thermostat goes blank: the batteries, the breaker, the float switch and the wiring. Most blank screens trace back to one of them. In Greenville, where the July average high is 90.3°F according to the National Weather Service’s 1991 to 2020 normals, a dead thermostat means a hot house fast. This guide shows what to check, what to leave alone and when the thermostat itself is the problem.
