A Hidden Cemetery on Pleasantburg Drive

Posted on November 2, 2018November 3, 2018 By Tom 8 Comments on A Hidden Cemetery on Pleasantburg Drive
History and Genealogy, Local

On North Pleasantburg Drive near Worley Road there once was a local dive called the Radio Room. It was either a din of iniquity or a cool place to hear up and coming bands, depending on with whom you spoke. The Radio Room has relocated into more respectable digs in the Auld Hardware building on Poinsett Drive and the old building has been demolished, revealing a once-hidden cemetery. Of course I had to explore it. In the process I found a collection of fascinating people that had been part of the Turpin/Raines Family that were early settlers of Greenville.
