Showfety's , located at 116 E. Market Street and established in 1928, is a Greensboro institution. They sell uniforms and accessories. If you need a medical or chef uniform or just want to see a store that has the look and commitment to service, known in previous decades, Showfety's is the place to visit. Please stop in and let Showfety's know that you are glad they are there! Even better, support them with a purchase. We love all of our new businesses in downtown Greensboro; however, we adore those businesses that stayed put and never fled to the suburbs during the great flight in the 1970's - 1990's. A lot of nostalgia is packed into this small, one-story building!
The bright red, lowrider truck that just happened to drive by while we were on our photo shoot is icing on the cake and our license to participate in Ruby Tuesday!

I try to shop local whenever possible as well. Otherwise we will lose all our beautiful down towns and every thing will turn into over paved strip malls. What a truck!!

What a story! We do not have the places with history and attitude, unfortunately. Now the faceless malls win the battle here.

That's one lovely ruby car!
We have a similar shop in Antwerp too, so I know what you mean if you say you're glad they're still there! I would not like to see mine disappear either!

I like this red truck. Everyday these few days, on my way home, I see a similar green truck across the road. may be tomorrow, I will stop my car and take a photo. Not ask flash as yours, rather an old bangup vehicle with a lot of dirt,
