This view of the Kirkwood neighborhood at Lawndale and Cornwallis shows the great character of Greensboro's streets. The sun was shining brightly on this Volkswagen bus in front of the little house with the white picket fence. The scene reminded us of the lyrics from the 59th Street Bridge song by Simon and Garfunkel (Feelin' Groovy) which is also the title of a 1967 pop album by the music group Harpers Bizarre. Greensboro may not have been completely immersed in the happy-go-lucky side of the hippie movement, as the city was really immersed in the Civil Rights Movement. However, we're betting there were some people around town who were, indeed, feelin' groovy!
Savor these warm moments of fall as you run around getting everything ready for Thanksgiving this weekend. This is the last big break for college students before they come back to take finals and finish for the semester. Public schools will be in session on Monday and Tuesday and then students will have a five day weekend. May we all find a little more time for fellowship this weekend. If you are looking for a meaningful way to spend tomorrow afternoon, The Piedmont Interfaith Council will have their annual Celebration of Giving Thanks tomorrow at 4pm in Dana Auditorium on the campus of Guilford College (read more, here).
My parents had one of those vans. It always had problems in the winter, the engine reacting to the cold.
