Sorry we're a little late in posting but our Internet service was out during last night's thunderstorm. Technical difficulties, for sure! Most thunderstorms are usually an hour or less. In our end of the county, we saw lightning and it rained for at least four hours! Now, back to the post...... If you are local, before reading, see if you can guess where this log cabin is located.
This log house is located downtown on the property of the historical museum next to the Central Library and across from the Greensboro Children's Museum on busy Church Street. From this view, all is tranquil. The Isleys, German immigrants, moved to Greensboro from Pennsylvania in 1788. They settled in the eastern part of Guilford County on Bethel Church Road. In 1972, the log house was moved from its original location when the historical museum took it apart and reassembled it here. If you are a real history buff, Christian Isley's estate records, dating back to 1845, the time of his death, can be found here. To us, the photo is the calm after the storm.
Glad that collateral damage of the thunderstorm was merely internet connection... Lovely photo, lovely place!

This is such a cool thing to have downtown. It is certainly a sight for sore eyes tired of looking at concrete. Beautiful clouds, too. And speaking of clouds, I have one of my favorite cloud photos on Tapirgal today, and it was taken in the air over your city, or at least very near it :)
