Actually, I don't remember this place as a Caribbean restaurant at all, but that's what google is turning up for it. Apparently it was an attempt at doing well by doing good, as this 1999 ABC permit hearing decision notes:<\/p>\n

\nThis matter is before the South Carolina Administrative Law Judge Division (\"Division\") pursuant to an application filed by Charlotte Francis, M.D., owner of This, That 'n' The Other Homeless Ministries, d\/b\/a This, That 'n' The Other (\"Petitioner\"). Petitioner made application with the South Carolina Department of Revenue (\"Respondent\" or \"Department\") for an on-premises beer and wine permit and a sale and consumption (minibottle) license. Representatives in support of, as well as in opposition to the application rendered testimony at the hearing.
\n....
\n....
\nThis, That 'n' The Other's meal service is two-fold. Lunch and dinner service is provided to the general public at the restaurant, and the same is provided in a community outreach capacity. The restaurant provides meals to the homeless patrons of local churches and shelters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The permit was granted despite some misgivings by a neighbor business, but as far as I can tell, the restaurant did not last long at all. I have not verified that by any phonebook research, but note that the only \"Five Points Association Member Sticker\" in the window is for 1999. The building certainly has not seen much if any work since then, and appears to be in a fairly advanced state of disrepair.<\/p>\n

Now, despite not finding any online evidence for it, what I remember this place as is some sort of night club which used the roof as a deck. You can see the hutch that presumably terminates a staircase from the ground floor, and the roof is also directly accessible from the side street as the building is more or less cut into a hillside. I can remember thinking that it was pretty neat though I never visited the club.<\/p>\n

I did<\/i> find this 1998 zoning board minutes<\/a> which implies that the place was some sort of restaurant in 1990 which was forclosed on at some later point, but no other details are offered..<\/p>\n

I think I also remember some sort of drumming studio here as well.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 30 September 2011<\/b> -- Someone is working on the place:<\/p>\n
