I always thought that Taylors had its own mailing address. It's just an unofficial area like Powdersville?
Not sure what you mean by mailing address? Taylors does have a zip code, but like Powdersville, Berea and Sans Souci it is neither a town or city but merely an unicorporated.... neighborhood/area/community; that's why many of us feel that it's unfair that these places are listed on maps, atlases and census as having their own population centers that rightfully belong to the city of Greenville. In other words, what's to prohibit a very large and wealthy development like Thornblade from being listed as a separate population. The debate continues.....

My question centered around whether Taylors is considered its own area by the U.S. Postal Service. I thought it was (e.g., 123 Any Street, Taylors, SC 296..). To me, that makes it a different beast than somewhere like Powdersville or Berea, which are unofficial areas of town not recognized by the post office. There is no Powdersville, SC or Berea, SC. See the difference?
If a place is part of a mailing address, doesn't it at least have to be a town? I realize that's different than being incorporated, but that seems to be a step above a mere area of town like Powdersville...
I think I know someone who has a Taylors mailing address. Either way it all depends on what Postal Mailbox your mail goes through. Such as if you live in Simpsonville but your mail comes through a Greenville Postal place then your mailing address is Greenville. This is just an example that could happen but I don't know if that one is likely.

As I stated in a previous post in this thread that I guess you missed my Roadmaster 2006 Standard Road Atlas says otherwise. On pg. 100 you can see the "cities" of Taylors, Berea and San Souci clearly defined and at the back of the atlas under the South Carolina heading it lists counties and then cities; under cities one will find Berea; pop. 14,158, San Souci; pop. 7836 and Taylors; pop. 20125, despite the fact that none of these places are cities nor towns. That's over 40k people that should rightfully belong to the city of Greenville's population. See the difference?
Who cares? You guys just will not drop this one will you? I'll say it again. The out of state developers know the true size of Greenville. The proof is what is happening in our area with new commercial development, hotels, etc. Besides, Greenville is more than just a "city". To me, Greenville means the whole county. The only small city inside the county limits that is envious of the city of Greenville is the city of Greer. Those guys are in a world of their own. They should form the county of Greer. I guess that is another topic for another day. Anyway, like I have said in a previous post, when out of state developers look to come to an area of the country, they don't just look at a small section of the area. They look at the whole population count. As much as we care, those that want to come here could care less about the city population of Greenville.
