Spring has sprung in the window of Oscar Oglethorpe optometry on the 200 Block of South Elm Street. However, the last bit of wintry weather snapped the very lovely tree outside the shop. Undaunted, the wonderful staff inside the store continued to serve customers all day on Saturday and by the end of the evening, the tree had been chopped into firewood and left at the curb.
It is not uncommon for Greensboro to have an ice storm in March and this year was no exception. The town made it through the whole winter relative unscathed. Then, this last little storm hit us hard with upwards of 200,000 losing power which means no heat (for many) and for those on well water, no water. If you have recovered from the storm stop into Oscar Oglethorpe even if you don't need glasses. The steampunk, industrial decor inside the old Ellis-Stone Building is unique. If you do need glasses, the intelligent, attentive staff will find a pair of frames just perfect for your face.
Wonder if it was busier at these stores because of that wounded tree! Am always surprised when I see broken branches, because in Holland (where I'm originally from) there are plenty of storms, but the damage seems much less than on this side of the ocean.
Thanks for visiting my blog earlier:)
