Ex-Reality TV Star To Open Shop On King Street

So many so-called reality TV "stars" are not exactly...well, stars.  It reminds us of a quote attributed to Andy Warhol: "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes".

Cavallari founded Uncommon James in Nashville in 2017, and will open a shop at 309 King Street in the Fall.  Sharp observers will recall this as the former site of Mellow Mushroom.

New Starbucks Coming To Mount Pleasant

It pains me to promote this.  I think there are SO many great locally-owned coffee shops with far better offerings than Starbucks.

But I know some of y'all like the Green Mermaid.  

A developer wants to build a Starbucks cafe and adjoining office space on a vacant lot at Bowman Road and Hospital Drive.

A drive-thru would not be included in the one-story structure of about 6,000 square feet.
