Greenville on WikiMapia

[btoy]

I'm finding that I'm having to move and resize a few as well. Whomever added some of these to begin with made them extremely large.

[btoy]

Also rahter than just labeling, how about people ad some details to the description?

[crescentmoon]

And why do people lable locations like CVS, Sphinx and Taco Bell. I like them too but it seems to just add clutter to me.

[btoy]

isn't Wikimapia the "qust to lable everything"? I think in some cases the companies and businesses are labeling them, but I did label a Taco Bell in Greer I must admit.

What if you have a craving for a 7 layer burrito? You'll need to be able to reference your nearest Taco Bell.

Just found this site, very fascinating. I think I could spend hours adding sites.

I added a couple of labels for some of the old textile mills I know the location of. I see someone labeled the others. I labeled Dunean and Judson. I'm not sure if the more "modern" one at White Horse Road and I-185 counts or is in the same class but it's nice to see the "textile" crescent I have heard referred to illustrated in this unique way. You can see the older "brick with wooden floor" mills do form a crescent on the western half of a circle about a couple mile radius from the town center. I know some of the old mills are being turned into Loft housing which is great to see. Would it be ok if we could at least label these Loft developments as "such and such former mill"? This is very important to the history of Greenville.

That being said it would also be interesting if their was a "historical layer" that could be turned on and off show you could show for example where the Cash and Carry used to be or the Krispy Kreme that used to be where Augusta turns into main.

Ya, how do you resize and move, like the Oysters on the West End needs to be moved, and how do you delete, Riversdie High School has two.

Someone decided to add "the ghetto" and "sprawl!!!" to Greenville.

Ok, which one of you put Atlanta south of the downtown area???

There is obviously at least one idiot playing around on the Greenville area wikimapia. I'd like to think it isn't someone from UP, but I've seen such stupidity here before. There was yet another UP addition, only this time a smaller one. I found it on Faris Road, between Cleveland Street, and Augusta Road. There are quite a few other additions needing the thumbs down, so be vigilant.

At least whoever put Atlanta over Greenville thinks we live in a very big city. Also, it's good advertisement for urbanplanet.

Negative. Only offer useful information. If someone does not know or remember a name, they should not add the place. Adding places that do not exist is highly counterproductive.

A couple of reasons I am interested in this is 1.) I want to see the history of our town preserved and despite the fact a lot of those areas of town have become run down I think they have great potential to be revitalized. I'm glad the Loft developments are at least preserving a couple of the more interesting looking Mills. 2.) My grandparents on both side of my family worked in the Mills which means my parents also grew in the villages. I love the time I have been riding around town with my dad and he points out places he used to live and the nicknames of a lot of places. He was born and lived in Piedmont for a short time when he was little but most of his growing up years he lived in several of the mill villages around town.

This morning I attended the first "official" meeting of the Greenville Textile Historical Society with him and and about 50-75 people were in attendance. The have several goals including producing books, recordings, etc. and a big long term place is to build a Textile history museum in Greenville. I may be helping them with some of these projects, especially some web and print stuff.

Is Converse not becoming lofts anymore?

[btoy]

Hadn't heard one way or the other

[gs3]

If you guys haven't checked this out recently, check it out. Lots of detail has been added to Greenville.

[Galley]

I added my church, Trinity Lutheran (421 N. Main St.).
