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!

and

We have been serving the Cayce area for over 30 years. (Formerly Red wing shoes) We have changed our name to CB Forrest Workwear, but will be managed by the same staff. Same service and custom fit as always, but now with more brands to choose from.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

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