View of Downtown

 Every month or so, we like to publish a photo of Downtown Greensboro. This was taken from the front lawn of Greensboro College, looking east on West Market Street at the 20-story addition to the Jefferson Standard Building. In the photo, it towers above all but the evergreen in the foreground. This addition was known as the Jefferson-Pilot Building when it was finished in 1990. Now, the complex belongs to the Lincoln Financial Group.*

Longtime readers of Greensboro Daily Photo know that we like to photograph this building and catch the "JP Building" from as many angles in the city as possible. We even have a tag for the building so we can track our digital captures. Just since we've started tagging, we have 28 photos, some with the building more obvious than others. (See them all, here). In the 6 years we have been trekking through Greensboro, taking photos of the city, we have yet to go to the top of this building. Does anyone know if it is open to the public? If not, does anyone know anyone who can take us as their guest? If we take as many photos this year as we did last- 13,000 to be exact-- we'd like at least one of them to be from the top of Greensboro's iconic skyscraper! Help us realize this dream, dear readers!

If it's not regularly accessible to the public, keep it in mind for something along the lines of an open house or doors open weekend there; if you've got such a program, it wouldn't surprise me if that gets included.
