Clap, clap, pray, and thank God. According to Men's Health Magazine, Greensboro has earned the designation as the second holiest city in the USA! We are second only to Colorado Springs! Charlotte, Durham, and Raleigh are also in the top 15, making North Carolina the HOLIEST of states! (read more here & here). While some question the research methodology or what is actually being measured (here), undeniably, Greensboro is BIG on volunteerism, generosity, and spirituality. We at Greensboro Daily Photo know from having photographed religion in Greensboro for two years worth of Sundays that religion is extremely important in our community.
Above, is a photo of Hey Nunnie Nunnie, a comedy act currently on stage at the Renaissance Festival in Huntersville. We thought the clapping nuns would be appropriate for our 2nd place designation. This is the last weekend of the Carolina Renaissance Festival so run, don't walk to see this fabulous comedy duo. Oh, and if you ever make it to Greensboro, you will, indeed, see a religious organization on just about every corner. (Please note, this is not meant to be disrespectful; just a way to combine two NC happenings).
For ABC Wednesday, "R" is for RELIGION-- Greensboro style!
The ladies remind me two nice mushrooms. Good that you put the explanation))
I would be frightened if called holiest, good that NC got the second place.

From the CDP portal picture, I was sure they were singing, "How do you solve a problem like Maria, how do you catch a cloud and pin it down ...."

If the surveyors had counted your blog, it surely would have bumped Greensboro to Number 1 on the list.
