At one time, Pleasant Ridge Road was a winding rural road. This house on Pleasant Ridge Road, at Market Street, exudes the county home feeling of yesteryear, so typical to Guilford County. As you read, the buldozer is in the backyard of this house and part of the land has been cleared. The tin roof, gable, front porch, large windows and door in the center of this one-storey house all evoke living in times gone by. A single family dwelling with land is quickly becoming a luxury and, in many cases, something people don't want to maintain. The setting sun adds to the nostalgia of the scene.
Have you seen places in Greensboro that look like this home? Do you like the simplicity or find it dated? We all have our preferences and, fortunately, there is something out there for everybody. Drive by and have a look at the above property. Soon, it will be an apartment complex or a distribution center, or a new highway lane. It is always interesting to see what things become. Happy Thursday!
It really is living on borrowed time now.
