"Greenville's Spin Away From Textiles Brings Million-Dollar Condos" costar.com/article/205751…
"Greenville... has transformed from a city once reliant on the textile industry into one with a diverse economy and vibrant downtown that's lured major companies..."
"As the city’s textile industry started to diminish, auto manufacturing began replacing those lost jobs from companies such as French tiremaker Michelin and German automaker BMW."
"Michelin brings in people from France, BMW draws from Germany and TD Bank, based in Toronto, brings executives from Canada. The buyers of the pricey townhouses downtown are from cities such as Chicago and Washington, mostly retirees or people buying second homes"
