Pop-shove it? Five-O? Three sixty? If you know what these words mean, either you are a skateboarder or you have one in your life. Tate Street is Greensboro's version of a hang out for college students. With UNCG and Greensboro College nearby, students can visit between classes. This photo shows the dynamic nature of a "college street." A few students are skateboarding while the man in the red shirt (left, background) is hanging a banner to announce his new business. The only thing bad about a new business is that it means an old one is gone. If you could see behind the photographer's head, you would see that the Corner is having a 75% off closing sale and Design Archives is gone. The latter has relocated to Elm Street, leaving a big space next to Tate Street coffee. Let's hope some new, great businesses are planned for these spaces. Now that the weather is warmer, we're all thinking, "spring." including the merchants on Tate Street.
By the way, if you want a dictionary of skateboarding terms, visit here.

I wonder how long it was before one of the UNCG bike cops rolled up and scolded the skateboarders?

I don't know, Hugh. It is hard for skateboarders to find a place to have some good, clean fun. Wish I were so talented!
