Suber’s Corn Mill

SCIWAY — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:54:34 +0000

Suber’s Corn Mill, located in Greer, has been owned and operated by the same family since 1908. The corn that is ground here is turned into cornmeal, grits, and animal feed and is sold locally. Not much has changed at Suber’s Mill since its doors opened. The buildings are original and the mill uses water power to grind the cornmeal. Then it is packaged and weighed by hand!

Greer Station Clock

SCIWAY — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 10:54:34 +0000

Downtown Greer was originally called Greer Station, because it was little more than a quick stop on the Richmond and Danville Air Line Railway. In 1876 the town was incorporated and emerged as a textile and agricultural center, and the small village grew from a simple rail depot to a town of 3,000 residents.

Greer Station was the focal point of business, commerce, and entertainment for the community up to the 1960s. Unfortunately, growth began to decline due to the rapid expansion of outlying suburban areas.

However, in 1998 a local group called the Partnership for Tomorrow came together to make Greer Station the focal point of the city. New streetscape improvements and extensive building restorations have brought 40 new businesses to the downtown area, where this town clock now stands.

Steven Faucette of Williamston took this picture. Be sure to visit Steven Faucette’s website to see more pictures of the Upstate.

Greer Opry House

The Greer Opry House is located at 107 Cannon Street in downtown Greer. It was founded by the late Ernest Harvey after a fire destroyed the nearby Powdersville Opry House, and is still owned and operated by his family. The Greer Opry House prides itself on providing a family-friendly atmosphere. There is a snack bar which serves sodas, coffee, hotdogs, fries, and more. The bands who perform there play a variety of country, bluegrass, and much more. Dancing is commonplace at the Opry, which is open Friday and Saturday nights.

City Hall is the centralized location for many functions of Greer‘s city government, including fiscal management, standards and purchasing, information technology, lease purchase, grant administration, communications, and business assistance.

City Hall is where you should go to obtain business, commercial, residential and many other licenses and permits necessary to live and work in Greer. For more information, you can contact Greer City Hall.

SCIWAY contributor Vincent Flores says that this is a “beautiful park in which young and old enjoy watching the large fountain dance with the rhythm of music. It has an amphitheater, swing for viewing the fountain, and a walking lane for those who like to walk around the park.”
