There are three malls in Anderson. Up the road in Easley there is a mall that is primarily advertising but I have found a lot of small stuff there. Greenville is good because most of the dealers are more on the fru-fru "fine antique" side and scoff and shuck collectibles, so when you do find it it's overlooked and cheap. There is one vintage shop downtown and they are aware of tiki but those girls are new, appeared somewhat apathetic and hardly a threat to a seasoned picker so I doubt they're scouring the town like they should. Walhalla is also good. Spartanburg is my ancestral home but mostly highwayside (there is a good SA downtown). Columbia-full, and I mean full of malls. Huge ones. I used to find heaps of stuff at Old Mill there. The Carolina countryside and small towns? Completely hit or miss. Mostly potpourri palaces with country cute garbage. The low country around Charleston/Goose Creek/Hilton Head-lots of malls as well. I have found stuff in all of them.
