Carhartt / Red Wing Shoes, 988 Knox Abbott Drive: Early 2020 (Reflagged) 3 comments
I've always admired this interesting building on upper Knox Abbott. I'm not sure if it was originally built as a Red Wing store, or something else started here, but it certainly catches the eye as you drive by.
Recently the owners have disaffiliated from Red Wing, saying:
Formerly Red Wing Shoes, we have changed our name to CB Forrest Workwear, and will have a larger variety of safety shoes!

Tom is correct. It was an Alex Hawkins building and I believe he broadcast for Atlanta at one time. It was built when I was at USC and I graduated in '71.

Hawkins also did color commentary for CBS's NFL broadcasts.

This building dates to at least the 1960s. Gamecock legend Alex Hawkins had a restaurant in it briefly and I think it may have been a car stereo place at one time.
