Several people were out, walking along Elm Street in downtown Greensboro, enjoying the nice weather during First Friday. In the background, our JP/Lincoln Financial Group building acts as a beacon at dusk. In the foreground, young adults from DayStar Church were offering free refreshments as well as free conversation about their congregation. They had a station set up just south of the railroad tracks for the evening. Home base for DayStar is 908 Westover Terrace, just across the street from Grimsley High School.
The photo is representative of Greensboro's First Friday vibe. Downtown has plenty of lighting and people are seen walking along Elm Street. While taking the photo, we noticed for the first time downtown's helpful signage. On the right is a sign pointing the way to various attractions (and parking) in the city. From musicians and visual artists, to sales staff and proprietors, to people sharing information about their faith, there is something for everybody downtown on the first Friday of the month. The serendipity of the evening will make you want to return every month.
Happy Sunday! See our photo of DayStar Church, from a few years ago, here.
It looks so like late spring already!

The building definitely feels like a beacon.
