If you are from Greensboro and travel a lot, you likely know that GSO is the three letter code for the airport here. We've already mentioned that travel is increasing at the airport, flights are being added, and it isn't quite as necessary to fly out of Charlotte or Raleigh. The above photo features one of the airport's eating establishments, The Local @ GSO. HMSHost of Bethesda, MD, has a ten-year, $50 million contract to run the six restaurants at the airport. HMSHost made an effort to give the restaurants a local feel and spent over two million dollars to upgrade them and replace former establishments.* Time permitting, try one of them out. As you see, from the upper right corner of the photo, PTI now has a Starbucks near Gate 27!
During this last weekend before Christmas, travel is heavy, not only at the airport, but also on the roads. Also, the east coast is a little messy today. Drive safely and, if you celebrate Christmas, may it be everything you want it to be- whether you are in Greensboro or elsewhere!
* reference and more information, here.
It's been a long while since I was last at our airport, but there are probably similar setups here.
