Greenville, SC:
Asheville, NC:
Greenville comes across as much more diverse, which is how it feels on the ground. You'll note that the concentration of white people on Wade Hampton Boulevard, the one that looks like a tiny little blue pair of lungs, is Bob Jones University.

"To sustain the life of a large, modern city in this cloying, clinging heat is an amazing achievement. It is no wonder that the white men and women in Greenville walk with a slow, dragging pride, as if they had taken up a challenge and intended to defy it without end." -- Rebecca West for The New Yorker, 1947
