The above photo shows an aerial view of Greensboro. From the air, the city looks so tiny and the county looks so green. Making an approach, flying in from Atlanta, this view was on the lefthand side of the airplane. In this era of drones and businesses that take aerial photographs, seeing an aerial view is not such a big deal. Call us "old-school" but we still love recognizing landmarks from the air. Seeing Greensboro on the horizon, surrounded by greenery, felt like a great big welcome mat.
Today is Cinco de Mayo and many Mexicans in the United States will celebrate Mexico's win over the French at the Battle of Puebla on this day in 1862. We hope the Mexican families living in Greensboro take this opportunity to celebrate their heritage and that they don't have to spend the day telling people Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day. Finally, regardless of ethnicity and hometown, may everyone living in Greensboro look at this photo and love calling Greensboro home. Consider this a virtual welcome mat.
I love your sentiment - that this aerial view is like a virtual welcome mat!

I share your "view" of being welcomed home. Each time I fly in, I have a sense of belonging, of being where I am supposed to be.
