Cheesecakes by Alex has been at 315 South Elm Street since 2002. Now, in 2015, the business is expanding into 317 South Elm, next door. As seen in this photo, taken yesterday, painters are working diligently to move the job along. Owner Alex Amoroso is standing right behind the white truck. He is answering questions about the project and providing direction as needed. HICAPS has the contract for the almost half a million dollar expansion project.* This will triple kitchen capacity and expand the retail space from the current 1,300 foot space to 3,300.
Tonight is First Friday and there will be so much to do downtown. The Indie Market will be in full swing, galleries will be open, Chakras Spa is having a reception with live music to feature the art of Steven Silverleaf. Drumming the Triad will be drumming at Center City Park from 7-9 pm. Anyone with a drum can participate. Vida Pour Tea on State Street will have Kirtan music starting at 6:00, if you need something more relaxing. You could start out at Vida Pour, advance to the drum circle, stroll Elm Street, stop by Chakras, venture down to the Indie Market, and end up at Cheesecake by Alex. There will be no shortage of things to do in Greensboro today. Whatever you decide, we hope you enjoy yourself. Happy First Friday in June!

Well, you certainly don't have to go very far to be entertained on a Friday night! That's wonderful.
Nice to see Alex is doing so well with his cheesecakes. He did a lot of that on the beaches of south Florida and the girls were wearing minimal clothes or none at all. Glad to see he's back at work in Greensboro.
Nah...I just made that up.
