The Graniteville documentary features a re enactment of the train wreck and photos from the scene. The Hope Center building at 3 Hickman St, once Avondale Mills offices near the derailment, sits vacant after chlorine damage then vandalism. Call Central has spent nearly two years with volunteers transforming it into a 150 foot training hub offering job skills, GED classes, a culinary arts program, after school care, and potential donor rooms, aiming for seven day operations and community hub status.
