Greenville, South Carolina was once a hub of the textile industry and is home to more than a few old warehouses in and near downtown and the West End. Some have been retrofitted as residential space, but others have been turned into commercial and tech space, and the shell of one by the Reedy River has been preserved as an event venue.

"To sustain the life of a large, modern city in this cloying, clinging heat is an amazing achievement. It is no wonder that the white men and women in Greenville walk with a slow, dragging pride, as if they had taken up a challenge and intended to defy it without end." -- Rebecca West for The New Yorker, 1947
