This seen was captured recently at the corner of West Smith and Prescott Streets. Formerly, a little gas station was on this location. Now, all we see is red clay. We're not sure what is going in at this prime piece of downtown real estate. It is near the downtown greenway, the baseball stadium, the Greenway Apartments, and the new Deep Roots. These Deere vehicles are proof positive that construction is happening in our community. We'll follow up with a photo when it becomes clear as to what will be built here. Do you know? If you haven't been downtown, you won't believe all of the changes.
Greensboro builder, Joseph Koury commented that he liked the smell of fresh dirt in front of a bulldozer. Were he alive today, likely, he'd be smiling at the sight of this photo! Stop back and we'll show you soon...
It is my understanding this is a new rest area for the greenway with bathrooms.
It has to be elevated out of the flood plain.
Koury is how he spelled his name.

Thanks to David and Fred for your input. I'll go back and spell Koury's name right! Can't wait to see the Greenway rest area- a fabulous resource for Greensboro.
