Working from home comes with its own challenges, but nothing is quite like having to live at your workplace.
Especially with two grandchildren in tow.
But when Pam Meyers moved to Greenville from North Carolina in pursuit of her job at Motel 6, in light of escalating rent prices and credit barriers, the best living option for her granddaughters, ages 11 and 16, and herself was to take up residence at her workplace.
“Rent was ridiculous,” Meyers said. “One bedroom: $1,200. I was like, OK, I’ll stay at the hotel.”
Then she stumbled onto the Home Again Program, Greenville Housing Fund and United Housing Connection’s joint venture to help families with school-aged children living in Upstate hotels bridge the gap to self-sufficiency at a long-term rental home. Meyers sent all necessary documentation as fast as she could to her case manager, Barbara Hunter-Geer, who helped her secure a much more spacious townhome with the aid of Reedy Realty.
Billy Reidâs brand was just finding its footing. On September 10, 2001, the designer held a blowout New York Fashion Week show for his new line, William Reid, that garnered massive response from store buyers. More than 70 of them made appointments to see the clothes the next day. Of course, none of those appointments ever materialized. The brand folded not long after, and the designerâwho trained at Reebok and who grew up in a boutique his mom ownedâmoved back to his wifeâs hometown of Florence, Alabama, to try something new. In 2008, after successfully remounting a comeback as Billy Reid he opened his first store in New York.on the day the stock market crashed in 2008. This is all to say: Reid is no stranger to bad luck, genuine disaster, and the million other small misfortunes that can befall a small business.Â
