Yesterday was another snow day, and public schools closed. We're sharing one final snow photo to reminds Greensboro that having a snow or ice storm in mid-March is not out of the question. Hopefully, it will be the city's last snow event of the season- with spring a mere six days away. The photo was taken at the corner of Benjamin Parkway and Battleground Avenue in the parking lot of United Transmission. The light dusting of snow accentuates the red, white, and blue color palate of the photo.
United Transmission, just behind Honeybaked Ham, has been serving Greensboro since 1968. This family run business was started by the Martin family and remained in the family until 1999. It is now under different owners (the Rush and Lewis families); however, John Martin still works with the owners as needed to ensure that high standards are maintained. It is the kind of place you might never notice, until you have transmission issues and need their services. With a light dusting of snow, this little corner of Battleground was sparkling earlier in the week.
Some of these smaller shops are super. I remember an auto repair in Pembroke Pines, Florida, that was a one-owner and they did great work - so great that they got more and more customers and thus had to hire new people. Well, things went downhill from there. Too bad. Re your question: I'm not sure what those are other than they're some kind of braces, and I think they're only on the front lets as the front legs get most of the hard work when jumping over bars.

Excellent shot!
We're still having the same weather, but in these parts that's to be expected into a good part of April.
