On the heels of the 9/11 anniversary, internet posts, including those on Greensboro Daily Photo, have been a little heavy-hearted this weekend. Today, we lighten the mood up with a microcosm of HOPE and greenery on a porch in College Hill. College Hill is the historic neighborhood between Greensboro College and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Walking around the neighborhood is fascinating as students have a way of customizing porches to reflect their personality, interests, beliefs, and worldview-- often on a shoestring budget.
College students are on the cusp of taking their place as society's leaders. In this case, we've got a co-ed who likes greenery and who radiates HOPE. "Hope is the emotional state which promotes the belief in a positive outcome related to the events and circumstances in one's life" (Wikipedia). Let's hope the best not only for this optimistic student but also for all of us!
This Saturday (September 17th) from 1-7pm, Tate Street will hold its bi-annual street festival. Music, food, crafts and clothing vendors take to the streets to bring you lots of fun (take a peek at last fall's festival here). If you come to the Tate Street Festival, take time to veer off the beaten path through College Hill to see the students' homes-away-from-home. The leisurely stroll among bicycles, peace signs, CO-EXIST bumper stickers, and conversation circles just may give you.....HOPE.
Thanks for letting us know about the upcoming Tate Street festival!

The Tate Street Festival will be fun. I hope you get to go. It is small but very grass roots. Mini-Prelude to Octoberfest :) for you.
