Bless you for this step back in time. I've been gone for over 50 years, but the memories run deep.

39:40 Interesting note is that stone central tower in Gassaway was built with stone from the old Vardry McBee Mill (pictured 2:31). It was in disuse and in ruins at the time (1924).

Thanks for sharing. Love Greenville culture and mill and textile history. Greenville has changed a lot and is no longer the Greenville I knew.

Thank you for the creative walk through Greenville in the 1950s. I was born here in the early 1960s but a lot of the facilities and locations were still in place. You helped remind me of my early childhood in Greenville. Well done!
