Battleground Tire Inc. has been a full-service auto repair shop, serving Greensboro since 1960. When the business first opened 49 years ago, its location at 3112 Battleground Avenue, at the corner of Pisgah Church Road, seemed a million miles away from down town.
We offer this photo for Sky Watch Friday as we really like the way the blue and yellow building looks against the cloudy blue sky. The power lines accentuate the linear facade of the building! Finally, the font on the sign, Battleground Tire, is a feast for typographers!
Wow - all kinds of lines going on in this photo. Great shot. Happy Skywatch Friday!

Is there such a monster machine that can leave those tire tracks? :) Yellow makes the gloomy tire shop look fresh!
Thank you for stopping by! My Mom is smoke free now for 7 months after being diagnosed with emphysema. I wish she did that earlier, but in Bulgaria majority of people smoke. Blogging helped her stay away from cigarettes, walk more and exercise. Instead of coffee and cigarette in the morning she is having coffee and a laptop :)

Great colors here! It is amazing how time changes things! When we first moved to Pembroke Pines, Florida 25 years ago, most everything just west of where we lived was open field, farms, horse ranches, etc. Now all that is gone and the area is covered with shopping centers, malls, gas stations, stores, apartment buildings and homes!

I noticed that we're neighbors at Skywatch and at Hilda's, too. Have a great day. I'm flying home this afternoon. God bless and see you on Sacred Sunday.

BF Goodrich loves that bright yellow, don't they?! We have one here too, but it doesn't have those great tire marks or that "feast of typography"!!
Oh, and pretty turquoise sky, too.

What a great photograph. The lines draw me right across the picture, then I jump back to view the giant tire marks. Wonderful
