Beep, beep! Hello dear readers, it's ABC Wednesday and, as you know, we're going through the alphabet with a Greensboro street a week. Today, we're offering "N" for Neal Street. Neal Street is located in the Glenwood neighborhood; it starts at Oak Street and continues a half a mile north to Lee Street. Neal Street is typical of Glenwood neighborhood: smaller, fairly well-maintained homes on a quiet street with a mix of both owner-occupied and rental properties. Notice the vintage Ford Thunderbird, parked on the street. As you look down to the end of the street, you can see new student housing for UNCG.
One cannot mention Neal Street without recognizing the Salvation Army Boy's Club located at 840 Neal. The large, red brick facility, while not visible in the photo, has been in the current location since 1957. However, the Salvation Army has been helping children in Greensboro since the 1930's. See their facebook page here.
Greensboro has 43 streets that start with the letter "N." View A-M streets here.
Charming neighborhood. Love the yellow car!

It seems to be an all American kind of street. I imagine the Salvation Army Boys Club has tutored, inspired or perhaps saved a great many youngsters.

A nifty street - I'm enamored with the T-Bird, to be sure. :)
