Longtime Greenville residents remember what Five Points meant more than 50 years ago.
For Greenville-Pitt County Chamber of Commerce Board Chairman Dan Nichols, it was a hub where you could bank, buy shoes and visit a drug or department store.
Chamber Ambassador and Redevelopment Commission member Don Mills saw movies downtown in the 1950s, and later enjoyed a beer at Rathskeller restaurant.

Dumb and dumber
First they re-do it while the students are here. Then they build it with two less parking spaces. Somewhere out there some town is missing their idiots because they now reside in Greenville.
Taxes
I find it ironic that taxpayer money paid for this boondoggle, but there was likely no sales taxes collected (or better yet, will be reported) at the event. Does anyone ever look at a cost/benefit ratio before undertaking these projects? The economy is still in the dump and we are converting parking lots (that worked just fine for the previous markets) based on the push by certain downtown business owners.
Must be nice to spend effortlessly.
