I went to vote today for local elections in the town hall building in Pineville. They have a history of Pineville, One of the items was that Cone Mills had a plant here which opened in 1948 with 500 employees. It closed in 1991.

@steelworker I’m afraid of seeing it…might not ever be the same again and my wallet definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Didn't realize they had multiple plants! I know Imogene and Willie here in Nashville got a bunch of fabric from them a few years ago and did some limited jeans with them in certain cuts. I have a few of them, and they are some of my go-to summer jams (lightweight, full of holes, stretchy)

@Mr-Eddy Just saw your clothes line. This cracked me up. Although grateful that not delicate denim.
