<<(On my maps they look like **2** urban areas, but maybe they've joined hands?)>>
They have in a way...a number of years ago BMW built their first American plant in Greer, SC which is situated in between Greenville & Spartanburg SC (so they could draw from both areas for labor, plus they got a steal on the land and tons of tax breaks). They manufacture the Z3 Roadster (now out of production, replaced by the Z4) and BMW's SUV as well. The location of the plant caused a lot of satellite companies that supply parts to locate there also, and now suburbs are popping up all over, blurring the border between Greenville/Spartanburg. Very similar to what Research Triangle Park has done to join Raleigh/Durham, NC. Also, I read this week that Greenville has more cell phones per capita than ANYWHERE in the country!
