The people make Greensboro a great place to live. The above photo features a night tour on Elm Street and it says so much about our city. First, about fourteen people were participating in the tour, showing how comfortable we are being out at night. Second, most are wearing blue jeans and the Cone brothers turned Greensboro into a jeans/denim empire. Third, our city takes on a beautiful patina at night; and look at the intensity of the denim under the glow of the streetlights. The night of the photo, Carolina History & Haunts was offering a tour called Nightmares Around Elm Street, a play on words from the famous movie Nightmare on Elm Street.
Today, we're faced with a dilemma, because it is a double theme day. The City Daily Photo community's 1st of the month theme day for February 2015 is to show a photo of what we would miss most about our city if we moved. Also, on Sundays, at GDP, we always post something of a religious/spiritual nature. Now... to combine the two themes. Were we to move from Greensboro, above all, we would miss the PEOPLE, and what is more spiritual than spending time in fellowship with others? All places of worship depend on people to fill them and to do good deeds in their name. So, would miss you, dear Greensboro residents, if we left!
Happy February 1st to all y'all-- our local visitors as well as to our friends from the City Daily Photo community.
Yup, people is what I'd miss, well some people anyway!

Followed over from your comment on Greenville's Daily Photo... You've captured this evening moment, and I enjoyed your essay. Although I live in Greenville, I would also miss the people. PS Are you by chance Latvian?

@Liene K... not sure exactly about exact ethnicity. What makes you think Latvian? Janis

Love your choice for the theme day. Well done!

Janis is a very common Latvian name, but you would probably know if that were the case. It just caught my eye as you might notice my name is rather ethnic looking as well - Latvian :) Thanks for satisfying my curiosity!

Nice night shot!

Good choice for both themes!

I like your choice for this theme, nice night shot !
Posted by: Karl | Sunday, February 01, 2015 at 03:15 PM
Very nice the way you combined the themes. Reminds of the old children's game where you use your hand - "This is the church, this is the steeple, open the doors and see all the people!"
And no, Jan, we did not buy that godawful chair! :)

Good balance for two themes, and a nice night shot to boot! Sounds like you've found a lovely place to call home.

Good choice for the theme! We've got ourselves regular Haunted Walks here.

The blue legs stand out . . . I was interested in reading your explanation.

Yes, the right people can make any place special. A great interpretation for this theme!
Re your question on my blog. Yes I did blog in my previous cities. I think you even used to visit me.
