"S" is for Skating in Downtown Greensboro

As of last week, we've got our own little Rockefeller Center, or so it seems with a 40x85' skating rink in downtown Greensboro! This photo was taken Saturday afternoon when young and old alike were out having a blast on our temporary rink. The ice rink is set up between Cafe Europa, The Cultural Arts Center, and the amphitheater in Festival Park on Davie Street.  Having opened November 17th, it is the kick off event for Greensboro's Downtown in December and Piedmont Winterfest 2010. The rink will remain in place until January 22nd. If, like us, you are not in Paris or NYC for winter break, please make an effort to visit downtown Greensboro in December. Between First Friday (12/3), the rink, the shops,the performances, the restaurants, etc., the city has made a real effort to provide fun, family friendly activities for December.

Today is ABC Wednesday and "S" is for SKATING, with or without SNOW!!!!

Hey! That's not fair - you have an outdoor ice skating rink before Eagan!? We're Minnesota! Ha!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

What a happy picture--a Norman Rockwell scene if ever I saw one.

Wouldn't have pegged Greensboro as the new Rock Center! My wife would approve; I don't skate.

I grew up in the north where we skated all winter. Now I live in a state where the ponds never freeze. Sometimes I miss it.
Thanks for sharing.

Ice skating in NC! Wow!
My ankles can't handle it any more but as a kid it was a favorite treat. Even though I broke my arm once while ice skating -- maybe my ankles have never really been up to it!
Thanks for a great S-day contribution.
