Q: What current or former local business makes you the most nostalgic about our community?
I really cannot narrow it to one business. I really love how the changes have taken shape in the Greer Station (Downtown) area. When I first started here, I can only remember about four businesses on Trade St. Dixie Cafe, Bullocks Barber Shop, Smith & James, and Price’s Feed and Seed. Everything else was essentially empty store fronts. However, as a child I remember coming to downtown Greer with my grandparents to Bailes and Collins and Willie Roe’s Shoe Repair shop. Willie was a great person to speak with. He used to have some pretty cool stories.
