One of the reasons my husband and I undertook Greensboro Daily Photo was to build community, not only in cyberspace but right here in our own back yard, in Greensboro, North Carolina. Well, The Tyler White Art Gallery tries to build community not only in the art world but also on State Street. This Friday July 24th from 6-9, Tyler White will host a great art event, the Summer Sizzling Party. Additionally, a dozen or so nearby businesses will hold extended hours and offer great summer savings.
Greensboro Daily Photo will be there cheering for the State Street Proprietors and perhaps indulging in a little art purchasing, jewelry and art glass admiring, coffee drinking, and restaurant hopping. As you can see from the photo above, State Street has the character of beach shopping or hanging out in a little New England town. Come on down and join us and let's help increase the foot traffic on one of the cutest shopping streets in town. If you are one of our blog visitors from elsewhere, please post a comment letting us know about your favorite shopping district in your town. We just may be in your neighborhood!
(Other business with extended hours and possible special discounts that night: Carolina Coffee & Tea; Earnhardt Optical; Eclectic By Nature, Hearthside Home Care, Lillo Bella Shoe Store; Mechelle's Resale Shop; Spoiled Hair Salon; The Pewter Place; Yamamori, Ltd.; The Salt Box; Aesthetic Images; Secret Tea Room; Cafe Pasta; Napoli).
Great idea. It is surprising how our blogs evolve and the part we play in them. Not so much me but I do see how others can kick start a worthwhile project.

Beautiful photo! I agree with the others, creating a blog to build community is a great idea. The majority of blogs in Hickory are real estate.

Great shot and so beautiful this time of year with the crepe myrtle in bloom.
