This historic Kings Mountain mill could soon become apartments

A historic Kings Mountain mill that was originally opened in the late 1800s by one of the town's founders could soon be transformed into luxury apartments. The Kings Mountain City Council voted 6-1 to rezone the historic Phenix Mill property from light industrial to semi-urban residential. The change allows a developer to turn the building into apartments. Councilman Tyler Fletcher was the sole dissenting vote. Originally known as the Dilling Cotton Mill, it was built by Freno Dilling around 1892. The property is located on Phenix Street with U.S. 74 to the north and bordered by Norfolk Southern railroad tracks along the northwest. Brad Lagano, city planning director, said the property is just under 10 acres and the semi-urban residential designation fits with the surrounding area. Many of the homes near the building are former mill village houses. According to Cleveland County property records, the land is valued at $124,000. Lagano said the Dilling Mill operated for 50 years until it was purchased by Burlington Industries and renamed Phenix Mill in 1940. He said it was in operation until 1982 and has been sitting vacant for the past 40 years. A rusted chain-link fence with a no trespassing sign surrounds

Prettier Than Matt: One of Columbia’s busiest bands keeps on moving

For the last 16 years, the Columbia pop-rock-folk duo Prettier Than Matt has had an unofficial motto. Jeff Pitts (vocals, guitar, percussion) and Jessica Skinner Sims (vocals, ukulele) will inevitably be playing somewhere multiple times a week, whether it’s a set of covers at a “menu venue” or an evening of originals in a club. And since they’re always around, it is inevitable that locals are eventually going to have to deal with them. “Jessica always makes the joke that you can’t run away from us if you live here,” said Pitts in a recent Free Times interview. “We’re going to find you wherever...
