This photo taken last Saturday night features Nathanael Greene. Greensboro is named for Greene, a major general of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War. The statue is located on South Greene Street at Holliday Circle. The 22 foot tall statue was installed in 2008, twelve years ago. James Barnill was the sculptor.
Initially, we were concerned that the view would be greatly compromised by the hotel being constructed on the right. As the above photo shows, there is still room for the sky to show through facing west. With the sparkly lights of winter, the scene is so beautiful. We hope you get a chance to make it downtown this weekend. There is so much to do and the city is so beautiful. Have a lovely weekend.
A very dramatic shot!
