Greensboro has been a very rainy place lately. It is predicted to rain today, too. The above photo features Battleground Avenue at Cone Boulevard, an area that has shown great change over the past few months. Rice Toyota rearranged the traffic pattern around their dealership and has done quite a bit of reorganizing. The McDonald's in the photo is also undergoing extensive renovation, part of a national effort on the part of McDonald's to make their restaurant as appealing as possible to millennials and the upcoming generations.
At twilight, when you are in safe, in the car with someone who is skilled at driving at in the rain, the wet streets of Greensboro take on a magical glow. By day, on this stretch of Battleground, you need to add a little extra driving time. However, on rainy evenings, after rush hour, the area looks mysteriously vacant and travel is smooth. There is a saying to stop and smell the roses. It is also advisable to stop and smell the rain.
Happy First Thursday of August. We hope you are planning to head downtown tomorrow for First Friday.
A very dramatic shot!
