The Greenville city seal. It's a black and white round wheel-looking object, with the words "City of Greenville, South Carolina, 1831" around the border. On the inside, a star representing people, mountains/trees, and a cog to represent industry line the circle to give the impression of unity within a wheel.

It’s been 40 years since Connie Payne had her wedding dress preserved at a Greenville dry cleaner (that has since closed). When she pulled out the dress for her daughter to try on ahead of her 2026 wedding, it wasn’t her dress.
