Just curious, but why were you passing thru Great Falls? I grew up about 30 miles from there, and when the textile industry moved overseas, that little town went downhill fast.

They have a new whitewater center a few miles from downtown on the fall line of the Catawba River that is gaining a little traction.

I drove up to NC and SC to look at some construction projects… Laurens and Pageland were my stops in SC to do some consultations with our client. Very rural areas.

The Great Falls area looked very cool to me from an outdoors perspective, but man… downtrodden otherwise. And like I said, close to Kershaw is one of the oldest and biggest gold mines in the world. The poverty/disparity in the surrounding area stuck with me.

This is what that area could use more of.. ecotourism. Help ain’t coming otherwise.
