Every 1st of the month is theme day for the City Daily Photo* community and the March theme is "People on the street." Our person is an unknown man leaving New York Pizza at the corner of Tate Street and Walker Avenue. The pizzeria is 37 years young. A lot of people from Greensboro and elsewhere have walked through those doors. New York Pizza's by-the-slice option is a favorite of nearby students at Greensboro College and UNCG. The bright art on the brick changes frequently and really adds a lot of visual interest to the College Hill neighborhood.
The above colorful façade, with the nod to Pac-man, reminds us of the art of Jiha Moon: visiting Falk Artist at the Weatherspoon Art Muesum. Jiha Moon fuses pop culture images, like angry birds and the Nike swoosh, with traditional Korean motifs. If you are near Spring Garden and Tate Streets, we encourage you to stop in the Weatherspoon today. From 1-4pm, they are featuring WAM Family Day. There will be docents and activity facilitators available to show you around in English and in Spanish. Children are not only welcome, but encouraged to stop by. The Weatherspoon and the pizzeria are less than a block apart. We hope to see you at WAM Family Day and would love to join you for a slice of pizza! Whatever you do, enjoy your day!
*Greensboro Daily Photo has been part of the international City Daily Photo community for over five years. Go here to see people from around the world today.
Nice shot for the theme today. I love all those colors and pizza by the slice sounds good to me!

Hi GDP, that's a pretty 'groovy' shot for the theme.. hard to remember a time when building were unadorned with murals :)
Yes I do take many weather photos, but I think the ones you may be referring to are on Flickr and taken by many different photographers.

If I were walking past this colorful shop, I would certainly take notice. Unusual to see a door that opens outwards directly onto the street. Love the variety of colors.

It is a very colourful shop... and yes, as a grad student, I can say that pizza by the slice is indeed popular among students!
