Market Street, one way eastbound, splits Greensboro into north and south; Elm Street in the east/west marker. The above photo shows Market Street at Church Street, an the east side of the city. The unidentified man in the photo is entering the north side of town. In the distance, on Market Street, the Lincoln Financial Group (LFG) building features prominently on the horizon. It's digital clock, alternating with the temperature, has been a Greensboro tradition since back in the day before cell phones replaced clocks and thermometers. Peeking out, just past the Lincoln Financial building, is the red-brick, West Market United Methodist Church.
The photo was taken on a quiet Sunday afternoon. On workdays, the streets are much busier. We are always in search of new views of the Lincoln Financial Group building and like this view, especially with the backdrop of a blue sky and puffy white clouds. We're trying to change our mindset, but we still think of it as the Jefferson Pilot Building. Likely, there are people around town who refer to it as the Jefferson Standard Building. Old habits are hard to break.
The LFG building is quite impressive.
