I agree. Cities that have been viewed as twins or big/little siblings typically are mentioned together (e.g., Raleigh/Durham; some people even think they are both one city with a hyphenated name) or have some other sort of nomenclature that represents the larger region (e.g., Metroplex, Twin Cities, Bay Area [both in CA and FL], etc.). This isn't true of Greenville and Anderson but has historically been more true of Greenville and Spartanburg.
