To give you some background to those dying towns. I'm from a small city in South Carolina as well. Back in the early 90s, those places were booming. But when the US opened up trading to china, a lot of manufacturing jobs up and left for cheaper labor. My mother was released from her manufacturing job around the time she was about to purchase another home. The name of this company is Blumenthal Mills. This was a company that was a part of the textile industry. The company literally kept our town profitable. My mother and sister worked there and made a really nice income. However, once they started to cut back, the city started to crumble around us. It happened so fast. Our chrismas was no longer the same. Less toys and gadgets sat under the tree, a tree that was quite lower quality vs what we used to get(a live tree). My mother was trapped into a home that started to fall apart. We lived in mold for years because my mother didn't have her same income she once had. She bounced around from job to job as they all started to close their doors. Opportunity for regular people was starting to look pretty bad. We as a family learned how to adjust our expectations as the city continue to crumble at accelerated rates. Now, when I go back to visit my mother, homeless people became more noticeable. It's truly sad to see my hometown fall apart.

From the Great Falls website concerning the beautiful building that was a Belk department store: "The Old Company Store The Republic Mills Company Store where you could get a sugar coffee blankets and when necessary a coffin. The next long-term occupant was the Department Store, Belk's. Today, the Company Store site sits directly across from Townhall." Some mills would pay in currency that could only be used in their stores or for rent that was only for houses owned by the mill. So, you could never really get ahead. I read farther down in the comments that there are great plans to revitalize the downtown area. Love Brattonsville!! Have been there with the children. If you have the time, explore the entire area.

People were smaller in the 1940's I assume. I've always loved those things.

While we realize we have work to do I hate they failed to show all the beautiful buildings and businesses that are operating.

You need to see Fair Bluff,NC in your travels. The town was struck with a 100 year flood in 2016 from Hurricane Matthew and another flood in 201i8 from Hurricane Florence. After the 2016 floods the store fronts on the main drag stood empty. The water line could be seen on the windows of the businesses I would guess four feet high. All the stock at the local hardware store was left in place and mold could be seen growing on the walls. Once the 2018 flooding struck it largely became a ghost town. The town sits on the Lumber River and you can still walk the Riverwalk. It winds through the woods down to the river.

The city or the county stored old school desks in the unoccupied storefront. One day, the owner of the building sent someone to clean up the store. Even if he couldn't rent it, maybe he would prevent it from burning down that way. The employee chosen to do the work cleared out the boxes, dusty papers, and broken equipment, most of the contents of old offices, and had stopped to catch his breath, when he saw the school desks. Better than leave them in a nest of desks in the back, he turned them into a little tableaux for nostalgic passersby, pushing them into a semblance of the classroom where they used to reside.

Lots of little desolate towns in that area. Fort Lawn, Van Wyck, McConnells just to name a few. If you’ve ever seen the movie ‘Masterminds’ you can go by the bank where the heist originally happened in Charlotte.
