Last night's First Friday in downtown Greensboro must have had record crowds. People from all walks of like were out walking and enjoying the gala event. There was so much festivity and the weather was perfect. Music, dancing, artwork, food, and strolling along Elm Street. It really seems as if our city could support this event every Friday in December. The above photo was taken (last year) at Just Be, a place at the corner of McGee and South Elm that sells arts and crafts, some of which are from local artists.
Remember that today is the Jaycees Holiday Parade (12-2) as well as the Girl Scouts Candlefest. The Moravian Tea is hosted by the First Moravian Church. Attending a performance, selecting a Christmas tree, attending parties; officially, 'tis the season. Please make the most of it, but pace yourself. Our one wish for the man in the photo is that he not to use his phone at the expense of enjoying the beauty around him.
This photo is to be shared with our friends at Weekend Reflections. It is an old one from our archives but we loved the subtle warmth, color, and reflection.
If you live in Greensboro and are looking for something festive for this evening:
The Greensboro Youth Chorus will be presenting their
annual holiday concert tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the
First Presbyterian Church in Greensboro on 617 North Elm Street.
Free to the public (donations accepted)
