GSO is the three-letter code for the Piedmont Triad International Airport. This is the ticketing area of the terminal. As seen above, GSO is under renovation. The multi-million dollar renovation will improve the ceiling and office space. Additionally, the airport plans to enhance the travel experience for passengers. Wireless internet, charging stations for devices, and interactive kiosks are also in the plans.
The airport, located eight miles west of Greensboro, has been serving our community since 1927. Here is a great timeline for the history of events, significant to the airport. This is not your grandpa's airport! If you get a chance, stop out for a visit. They have great artwork displayed downstairs. As for the orange, plastic construction fence, it is kind of fun to navigate. Welcome to GSO!
i always thought it would be fun to work in an airport!

Most times the 3 letter codes are mysteries to outsiders. For example Portland International Jetport (the only jetport in the world I hear) is PWM. Wanna guess? Portland Westbrook Maine.

With that red construction fence, I thought at first it was a large supermarket. Looks like Greensboro is growing like the rest of the country. I thought GSO was a food supplement! :)

It'll take time to get done- our major airport was under renovations for some years, but the end result was well worth it.

An airport displaying artwork would be of great interest to those on long flight delays. Some creative ideas happening here.

Makes me want to fly somewhere. :)
Thanks for your question. Many places in the USA have an eruv, but I don't know how they call it. Yes, your word "atar" is old Hebrew verb meaning to surround, to encircle. So that would be appropriate in talking about an eruv. Thanks!
