Yesterday was a gloriously sunny day in Greensboro. The above photo was taken on the Irving Park side of State Street. We have always said that State Street exudes the comfortable feel of a street at the beach. Likewise, it has tremendous potential to attract pedestrians, festivals, and cultural events. We're not quite sure why it seems so empty. Proprietor-on -the-premise businesses like Mark Holder Jeweller, Tyler White Gallery, Ecclectic by Nature, and the other shops are very accommodating.
Vida Pour Tea will soon be opening a tea house at 412 State Street. If you've had tea at Scuppernong Books or Beansboro Coffee Shop, then you've already experienced Vida Pour Tea. Let's hope their brewed, custom loose leaf teas will be the ticket to get people pouring onto State Street. You can pick up a great tea pot at Yamamori, Ltd., head across the street for tea, then next door to Ecclectic by Nature for items related to earth-spirituality. Next time we photograph the street, it just may be brimming with people.
Well, you must be in my head because your vision of a happy, busy State Street is spot on with mine :) Thank you for such a wonderful article! -Sarah

It sounds like an eclectic mix of businesses down in that stretch.
