Location is everything. Our town died from once being one of the largest mill towns in the SE. The good thing is there was never large growth. Sure, we have a strip with Walmart, etc, but downtown is small, old 1800/1920 buildings. It's a very historical town with it's 3 rivers. I think the goal was for it to be a small historical town, but never quite got there. There are many large mills covering square miles just falling in, 1000's of mill houses, most of these became poor neighborhoods. Slowly many of these hoods are being restored. They're numerous old homes still standing from the 1800's, even some from the 1700's, not to mention dozens of restored plantations. Lot of Revolutionary history here as well. One thing for sure, great place to have metal detecting as a hobby.
