Side question for people who know about the area - my family has almost 200 years of history in the Mauldin/Fountain Inn area but I haven't been there in probably 15 years or more. Mostly farmland and old people when I was a kid.

Sounds like those are pretty decent/pleasant "suburbs" of Greenville now?




Someone else can correct me if they have a different view, but I'd consider Fountain Inn to be the southernmost suburb of Greenville today if you're heading down I-385.

That would be correct. With Mauldin and Simpsonville growth we are seeing more growth in that area. Enough growth that Fountain Inn will have its own high school next year. I think, I should know the exact numbers, but it is being built to hold around 2000 students.

To the one who hasn’t been there in 15 years there has been a lot of change. The upstate as a whole is moving away from a textile industry which is hurting to a more diverse economy. With the addition of BMW years ago we are seeing some business related to it. Bosch breaks has a big operation in Anderson just to name one.

The Upstate is booming and a shell of what it use to be
