Greenville
Radio Room
Radio Room is a 500-capacity Greenville music club tucked into a low strip on Liberty Lane, just off Laurens Road near the old McAlister Square mall. The current room opened in 2024 as the venue's third home, trading the cramped Poinsett Highway space for an 8,400-square-foot open floor with a real stage, full bar, and kitchen. It reads as a working regional club rather than a theater.

The Cherokee County flap, winter of 1973
Roughly fifty miles up I-85 from Greenville, in the winter of 1973, Cherokee County sheriff's deputies took so many UFO calls (cigar shapes, triangles, saucers with cabins on top) that they stopped dispatching cars. On at least one February night, more than fifty vehicles lined a county road to watch the lights together. A January report on Route 18 outside Jonesville described a domed craft on three legs, ringed by about a dozen men in white coveralls; the Gaffney Ledger ran it on the front page and the case entered the NICAP chronology of the 1973 wave.
